I did not track calories this week, but tried to eat reasonably. I lost 1/4 lbs. I don’t know if that’s a win or loss. My maintenance range appears to be enormously wide, but I’ve probably realistically just settled into an appetite comfort level right around those calories. I know where to tighten up next week, and we’ll see what happens. I don’t know how much harder I’ll feel like pushing, but I am trying to find something sustainable where I still end up a little lighter.

Mate I done it on Sunday minus the squats

I’m done with squats. They’re too dicky on my lower back.

Nasty workout mate. You’re a machine!

Dude it was rough. I kept my pace high, because I was between calls, and really thought I’d puke.

Squats are definitely my riskiest movement, but I actually enjoy them too. I just need to stay smart on not really pushing the weight (I think/ hope that’s the answer).

I’m probably going to do some full body for a week or two after next week, then jump into another Meadows program. I really liked High Evolutionary if you’ve seen that one; it’s a break from the volume too. I’m up for whatever though. I kinda like having the accountability of you doing the same thing - it’s harder for me to punk out!

I’ve had to freeze my gym membership for 2 weeks

British Government has advised against attending social venues.

Plus I have a 6 month pregnant missus to consider.

Fuck it man. Need to do our part.

I’m not sure I 100% agree this is the appropriate response (or that there really is a “plan”), but this is also not the biggest inconvenience to ever befall a person.

I need to figure out some workouts.

I have:

  • Doorway pull-up bar
  • Parallette bars (daughter is a gymnast!)
  • Resistance bands
  • TRX

I think our gyms (Ohio) will be closed for some real amount of time. Any ideas?

On the plus side, I’m dieting really hard without lifting so that should help.

Right you are, I just can’t be asked to use the thing between my ears!

Be damned if Meadows didn’t just come through again on YouTube, though. My fan boy-ism is starting to cross into creepy…

I did that one with my kids. It was cute. We used water bottles.

He just put up another one with bands.

I’m going to end up doing push-ups and pull-ups a lot and trying to work up to pistol squats. Maybe I’ll even (gasp) run!

I’ll lose some weight at the end of this, which is good, and maybe my joints will bounce back a little with the break - they’re a little cranky right now, especially my elbows.

It’s looking like this will be our “normal” until summer - the kids are going to go insane!
