Notes

Feeling a little out of sorts/under-recovered. Hamstrings still like 7/10 sore and quads similar. So, just one set to failure on everything. Pretty decent numbers.

Weight has been staying stable, or even dropping, despite gradually increasing food intake. Might have to get up to like 3200 or to keep up a slow gain. Am at ~75.5-76kg, 31" waist, still have abs (feel like they've really hypertrophied from actually getting focused work!). Feels expensive to eat this much every day lol.

To my surprise, I haven't actually missed BJJ. Hadn't realise how much fatigue it added/how much better I'm feeling in the gym without it. Also expecting an uptick in work and life stuff over coming months, so a strong chance it gets cut, lol. May return to it one day in the future when lifting isn't my #1 physical priority, and I'm really glad I tried it out!

Notes

Loved the adductor machine, can get a great stretch. Definitely keeping those in. A little bit of rib pain post pendulums, but nothing too bad and nothing that lingered overlong.

looks like the ab stuff I've been doing has transferred well to the machine at the gym. Like the lower back stuff too, seems sensible to try to target building some muscle there since mostly it just gets hit isometrically.

Notes

Also did a 50 min cycle instead of BJJ yesterday. Finding the stationary bike less boring than I usually do. Might be because I've adapted to it a little bit more? In the past, I'd feel my quads burning even if I was just at like 110 HR, but now I can get into the 130s without that.

Did side bends to see how rib is feeling. A bit of pain, but I was able to move 80% of previous load without too much issue. Another week until I go back to BJJ I think.

Notes

Couldn't do anything with load on my shoulders [pendulum squat, usual calves], so had to sub or skip those. Should have gone back and done more leg extensions at end of work, but i'll try to make it up with some form of lunge tomorrow.

lateral machine bothered ribs a little bit -- felt like from something contracting to stabilise my ribs as i moved, hard to say. no major irritation, tho, so that's nice. let's see how chest goes tmrw.
