Nice front squatting. My log is equal opportunities for those imeperially and metrically endowed.
Great looking session dude. Squats are so awesome.
Glad to have you rejoin the Imperial side! Muhahaha
Looking forward to seeing how RFL treats you. Will be following along eagerly!
I just finished up a stint of trying to drop a few kilo’s whilst lo-carbing it, it worked fine for the first two weeks but the third week killed me. Was losing the ability to focus and I’m in the middle of my last few weeks of college before exams so decided to stop it until a later date when I have less intellectually stimulating things to be pouring my energies into!
@Jake: Thanks buddy.
It wouldn’t be taking a stand if I used both though. I’ll force those Americans to use the Imperial system!
@Jab: Squats are totally awesome. Feeling very good at the moment.
@phlegms: I’m hoping it will turn out good. Then I could hopefully be in good enough shape to bump up my eating. I don’t think I’ve been above 2500 cals this year. (I have probably completely ruined my metabolism lol)

That’s a good thing?
This morning I weighed 80.5 kg which is down 2 kg from yesterday. I’ll have to start making breakfast since I don’t eat enough at night to keep myself sated until the afternoon.

Easy day today. No trouble with the energy despite the low cals, though I felt a bit lightheaded during the DL but I think that’s because I drank 3 cans of Coke Zero earlier.
Tried the new HS press instead of flyes and didn’t like it very much. It felt like it was mostly shoulders for me.
The blocks from the squat box worked great for pulls, and since they belong to the club and not the gym the owner can’t complain.
During the lunges I focused on a stretch at the bottom. Got pretty hard even with bodyweight.
Two rounds of squatting on Friday <3
So used to pounds in these logs, I struggled to understand that session. America has taken over my soul.

I did feel pretty weak when I typed it in, numbers weren’t big enough.

Felt kinda sluggish during the workout and I really had to grind it on some of the squats. I’m happy though since I’ve got all the reps I was supposed to do.
30 minutes after the workout I played street football with some friends for 90 minutes. I was extremely tired, hungry and thirsty afterwards. I kept thinking about all the crap I’m going to eat when I get back home on Wednesday. I am definitely going to get Nutella and cheese on white bread (it’s a fantastic mix) and Nutella and banana on rye bread (also amazing).
Tomorrow I’ll be going to a new gym opening in my town. I’m gonna try the SSB, rings and whatever looks exciting.
Fooled around a bit today in the new gym that was opening.
I did some safety bar squats, GH raises, cable rows, CG fat bar bench and around 50 pull ups spread in between the other stuff. Light weight just to try the things I usually don’t have access to. It was fun.
My weight this morning was down to 78.8 kg and I decided, that I needed a carbload, but I felt really shitty (literally) after the first carbs so I dropped that idea.
I’m thinking that low carbs might work best for me.
The weight is really flying off, hows the strength feeling?
Monday and Wednesday felt strong as ever, Friday felt weakish but still manageable.
Next weeks Monday and Wednesday workouts will be on very low calories as well, so I’ll be able to tell more after that.
I’m eating some of the carbs I bought at the moment to try and discover whether carbs in general was the reason for me feeling bad earlier or if it was just because of the milk I drank.
My weight was 79.6 kg this morning.

This looks like the toughest workout of this cycle so I’m pleased I survived it. Energy was good even on the low cals, perhaps because I’ve started drinking coffee, but the strength was so-so.
No problems with the bench but on squats there were some breathers and some close calls. It isn’t that surprising though since I had to do 8 sets of 80%+ and I was sore from playing football.
The rest of the cycle looks pretty manageable.
Squatting some weight. Nice.

Thanks man.
It was a “fun” day. I had to take some looong breaks so I was at the gym for nearly 3 hours. That’s probably the most time I’ve ever spend.
How come you’re commenting so late? You have to get your 8 hours if you want to get swole lol.

I get my 8 hours… I just have a crazy sleep pattern right now. Need to fix it.
