Not as nice as what @boilerman or @T3hPwnisher would eat and not as sugary as what @alex_uk would have. But I finished off the evening with a bowl of Greek yogurt mixed with salted caramel protein powder, with peanut butter and honey. Feel as full as an egg now.

I didn’t have any chocolate in the house. The kids have eaten it all. At least it will be Easter soon and I can eat all their eggs.

Great session body starting to feel better at last. Conditioning was really off. I have decided I am going to add some prowler (sled) work to the Thursday session. I need to get fitter and fatter at the same time.

How’s the hip feeling?
I don’t want to jinx it but hip feels good and right knee good was well. I still feel down on power and my lower back feels a little weak which is effecting my brace and confidence out of the bottom of the squat. Working without a belt or knee sleeves on the rep work to make me stronger. How is life in lock down?? My dad is hanging out for the gyms re opening.
