Nice to be able to start doing chest presses and seated presses again. Shoulder started acting up as the weight increased on chest press but was fine on the overhead press.

Changed things up in terms of workouts and diet due the end of the transformation challenge being in sight. I have transformed slightly, but in the wrong direction so far.

Lacked energy, not the best session I’ve ever done.

20.04.25
Took a trip to Ultraflex in Derby, I’d heard it was one of the best gyms in the UK. It’s the best one I’ve ever been to by a long way. No idea what weights or reps I did but most were in the 6-8 range, where I didn’t get at least 6 reps I did a drop set, went to failure on everything.

Really enjoyed using the different equipment, there was a really wide variety of equipment and will be going there again. Absolutely starving by the time I got home so must have had a good session.

This is the type of workout I should have done for the previous session as well. Currently not getting much sleep, working extra hours and more than enough stress so doing something rather than nothing.

Decided that all being well I will make a slight increase to the weights on the last session of each month, I’ve been missing the progressive overload on a regular basis, even if I only do this for 6 months I’ll still be lifting more than I currently am.
