You accuse me of being a sex worker and that offends you?

As well you should be. Exceptional word usage. I always appreciate an impressive vocabulary. Even if it is being used to suggest that I give happy ending ultrasounds. Lol.

- Squats were good. Tough towards the end. But top set was solid and confident. 5kg up, plus an extra rep thrown in. Started to feel Less solid towards end of third set. Felt I was strong enough to rep out for quite a few more, but the stability was starting to struggle. Still a good progression over last week.
- Leg extensions were 10% up on load, with an extra rep on each set also. Just felt Considerably stronger here.
- Leg curls similar, but third set BURNED. A lot. From like rep 8.
- Calves continue to be a new weird thing for me. Staying with the Crazy tempo on each rep. The want to quit by rep 7-8 every set is High. . The last set was diabolical.
- Going well.

Notes:
- Press felt pretty ok really. Warmed up better this week. Felt like i had a bit more power.
- DB rows and Inclines were still hard. Its quite a heavy day this one really, makes me feel it…One of those moments where i thought “yep, this load is too heavy”…but, i made all 3x10 with the rows, literally an rpe 10, too, and got an extra rep on the first set of incline, though lost a rep on the second set as a consequence…then made an extra rep on the back off. I May switch this exercise to a single top set with two back offs instead, not sure why i didnt do that anyway to begin with. Will allow a higher denaity of work to be completed, while still allowing me to chase a number on the first set. Best set with 36kg bell’s is 10 reps, done earlier this year, but i was heavier, and it was done fresh that day. Feel like beating that after heavy pressing and rowing, while weighing quite a bit less, would be True progress.
- Ideally, i would want 1-2 more little accessories here i think, but i reckon it’s Enough work for this day, provides a small repreive between the two lower body days.
- Bodyweight FINALLY trending back down after my run of holidays. No idea why it just hovered up where it did upon my return. Maybe a combination of fluid retention from holuday, paired with new fluid retention from new higher volume training block. Either way, its settling down again, today at 103.7kg. Big push into the new year from year. A few hurdles along the way calorically with Xmas events, another of which i had today. Great food was had, including a 76 dollar Black Angus sirloin (new york strip steak perhaps for those of you stateside?)…I’ve managed to side step most events this year, but still have two to go. Will be managing them by basically runing a PSMF day right after each one.
Good.

I can’t remember the last time I had a good steak. Now I’m kind of sad and longing for one. Dang it. Now I’m having more food fantasies.
This is what you landed on?

Notes:
- Charging along here…bodyweight still slowing declining, not as fast as was planned, too many Xmas events to manage! But manage I am, and am still enjoying myself. Chucking in a PMSF the day or two after each party is keeping things progressing. Also mostly training on those party days helps. Exception today, normal cutting cals though, as training…tomorrow will use a PMSF to keep that weekly average in check and on target.
- Bench is Hard while dieting as usual though. Today was a load increase day after hitting the rep target last week. Only one rep short of the target this week which is good anyway.
- DB Press is coming along. Still very light, but this week they FELT probably like they should, like I’ve got a solid groove now. No reason to increase loading any faster though to be honest, happy to let all tissues progress together.
- Shoulder bulletproofing seems to be going well. Very conservative progression still. Want to be REALLY good at each movement before increasing loads, so happy for the reps to creep up close to 20 while that happens.
- Those close grip bench sets are diabolical near the end of the session. Thought I was going well with that first set . Then the triceps just decided to pack up early without warning, and finished with the same amount of total volume as last week . When you consider the work completed prior though, that’s actually a great result.
- Love my curls…stronger this week here again. Some regaining here though, still some distance from a single set PR etc. Volume is Good though.
Pretty good start to the week. Squats and Lower Body A up next.

Speaking of old man aches and pains…Woke up this morning with a sore left achilles tendon LOL. Assuming its just related to some Doms in my calves. Or it’s just reminding me that it exists.
Pec doms today is nice though. We like pec doms.

Had to abort yesterdays leg session…lots of pain and mental lockups with squats, not something i can or should push through. Usually fine the next day, and i do feel better this morning. See how we go. Have a feeling that the hatfield squats are going to be swapped out, checking the footage from last week, Heaps of Knee slide…dont want that, and likely the cause of the crepatis i’ve had every day since that session. Will swap out for lighter pause or tempo squats. Easy.

Notes:
- Skipped that leg day all together. Joints all a bit cranky. Lots of little tissues still upset. Hope I’m not getting sick …but yeah, a little too much pushing I think last two sessions. So a semi deload session, no need for a week, just a quick adjustment to drain some joint and soft tissue fatigue. Deadlift put in for a laugh.
- This COULD be the beginning of a deadlift run. I dunno. Maybe. Not wanting to remove any of the hypertrophy stuff I’m doing, but I can make it work if I remove the hard squats which keep trying to kill me. Makes me wonder how I ever squatted 200kg. Mystery.
- Deadlift obviously light and clean, being that it’s been 6 weeks since I’ve actually done a Conventional deadlift from the floor! Missed them. Felt good.
- Everything else dialled back for today. Kind of sore still afterwards…elbows, shoulders, knees and hips. Call me the old man. .
