I like this idea.
Another alternative is to experiment with fasting. Lot of support behind that approach.

Powertwister earlier 90 gold plus 5 kg assistance X 7
Building up slowly again.
No banded curls or presses today. The curls might be a redundant exercise for me at this point. I have had a long arm specialisation, which has worked well in terms of strengrh. I have gained about gone from 12.5 kg dumbbells to 20 kg DBs in the curl. Obviously beginners gains a bit but has worked well.
Powertwister has regressed a little. It will go on the backburner in terms of strength for a bit. I will work.on endurance every 4 days.
Diet is getting there . Not been 100 percent though.

Thanks. The car is off the road so I have not been making it to the gym. Still thatās excused to be honest. Exercise front has not been too bad.
I am slipping into old habits. I have to start my step count again and organise my meals . I am literally reaching for the biscuit barrel.
I like the idea of mostly bw training for a short period with some bands and perhaps dumbbells chucked in .
I have been neglecting legs for a bit. They are a strong point but still.
Going to do some one leg squats and maybe goblet squats , if I can train in the garden.
