Can’t you buy meat there at the movement ? Or are you suggesting you don’t need as much food as you are training less?
Mostly the second. I’m taking the opportunity for a bit of a mini cut before gyms reopen. I’m not strong enough to be as fat as I am.

Lol that’s why I train for strength, hoping one day I can be strong enough to match my girth!! Even if you are cutting you still gotta get that protein in.

If it makes you feel any better, I have lost…7 kilo or so in the last 5 months, and I feel like I am just as fat, and far less strong. Cutting is dumb.

@simo74 @Cyrrex @Koestrizer alright guys, you’ve persuaded me. More food, more training. Deal.
Shame, I was really looking forward to all those measly little salads.

Missed the first try at 120. Set up was all wrong, took too long getting into position. Was fkn angry and that helped the second attempt.
Down sets were fine.

Did these without the sleeves, knees were a little creaky. So glad there is no more sets of 8 reps. Was blowing hard after 6!!!
Row
90 x 7 x 4 sets
Some good, some bad and some ugly tonight! Bad was the miss on the bench single, it was a mess. Good was coming back and hitting the single second attempt. And ugly was just me seeing myself in the mirror !!

Lol, it doesn’t happen often. There is an other vid on my IG of me failing bench from probably about 2 years ago. No excuses I just didn’t switch on properly or set up under the bar right. I was never going to get that first one, mentally I was in the wrong place.
