Bit of both: been on holiday for a fortnight and not logged last couple of sessions.
Have a clear 10 week period now until my next trip so I can knuckle down and grind.

It is coming down. When I came back from holiday 2 weeks ago it was up to 100 dead. Now at 97.8. Shooting for 95 as I think thatās a weight Iāll be lean (ish) at and still able to hold without too much effort.
Yeah I getcha. For me thatās right around 173-5. Can eat in a pretty relaxed manner and maintain. Iām trying to gain now so itās the opposite problem. Gotta get those calories in lol

Desperately did not fancy this today.
Still feeling beaten up from the weekend. And my shoulder is giving me trouble. Real sharp pain every time I try and press. Not so bad when Iām flat benching, but overhead pressing this morning was agony. Been trying to do some mobility and fascia release work, but not having much luck. Realise these are vague and unhelpful symptoms but if anyone has any suggestionsā¦

Warm up rounds on deads this morning and my lower back was feeling tight. Switched it up to sumo and everything felt fine. If anything, felt like I was stronger and more āengagedā pulling sumo. Tempted to switch out conventional for sumo for the time being, but, hereās the newbie level question, will I need to sub something else in with the change of focus on the posterior change to ensure I stay balanced? Appreciate any thoughts generally - @simo74 @Frank_C @littlesleeper
