Pulled out the new GPS watch for the first time (my old one died last year) and timed my standard run around the block. Surprising to find it's only 2.75km and im in such bad shape that 15 minutes seemed like a good goal lol. Yeah got work to do.

BP 8x40, 8x57.5
Slow run around block ~20min

Notes:
Abz pretty beaten up. that set of 8 with 107.5 was ugly and brutally hard. didn't feel up to doing the set of 10x97.5 after that, walked it out, was heavy, felt deflated and put it back. Then thought to try a belt instead of ending the workout and it worked, not just a placebo  .. i really want to explore cycling belt training with my normal raw.

New daily minimum is 125kg on backsquat. OHP was a struggle. I'm constantly hungry, every night i lie in bed awake, hungry and miserable. it's been that way for i want to say 4-6 weeks? something like that. but im too fat to eat more and so im stuck in this no man's land of not eating enough to function well.

Notes:
Added a preworkout sandwich which bumps my gym weight up a tad. It helped but i prob didnt time it very well, cud have trained sooner after taking caffeine, instead i ate a sandwich an hour after caffeine then started lifting. will experiment to get the timing right.

BP 8x40, 8x57.5
Run - same as last time somehow ended up taking 5 minutes longer lol

Notes:
I did 'too much' with the heavy squats yesterday and on lower body focus day today i struggled as a result. So make sure next time i don't over-do it on upper days. But nevertheless im progressing. Tbh it's worth trying to make a 120kg squat a daily thing but i prob shouldn't have done a local PR with the 125kg on an upper focus day but i felt strong and went for it. Today i felt weak but i went for it because i had to. Maybe if i hadn't yesterday i'd have felt stronger on the lower body day, which is what you'd want.

the 125 you posted on insta looked really good, fwiw.

thank you! it's only 1.5xbw and it's a single but right now i'll take it!

edit. ps, lbbs saw your recent story, your girl has a really great voice and her urdu is impeccable, she sounds completely native in the chorus if i closed my eyes. really impressive!

Squats are starting to clean up. But my lack of food prep is killing my gains .. i ate a cup of pasta and a shake for dinner tonight. can't be bothered wrestling fools for some chicken breast. whatever.

Notes:
Yea not too sure about these 'heavier' sets. it's like you want to do a honest workout but at the same time im kind of terrified of hurting my spine on the heavy sets. hopefully it will self resolve.

Chinup 8xBW*(last rep wasn't full rom tho)

Notes:
It's starting to come around, im starting to adapt to daily training. Just gotta be patient and put in the work and let's see where im at in 3, 6,9 and 12wks time. New thing is to be realistic and set my daily act goal at 5k steps. Anything between 5-7.5k is good but a sensible minimum must be respected - and i'm making that 3.5k. As long as i average 5k a day, i should stay in ok shame, just dont want to take nasty fat loss supplements again. I took green tea extract this week and omg it makes me feel terrible. The number of times i've bought it and then thrown it out only to buy it again much later is prob n=3 now. This stuff is nasty.

Run 15mins
Notes:
haaa that initial phase in daily squatting where the bar starts to feel super heavy even when it isnt. eventually you'll push thru the wall but today wasn't it. got a run in .. i like daily training if it's going to be short and sweet.
