Notes

Switching from stationary bike to running has me needing like 3300 kcal. Replaed my oat-based meal to a huge bowl of cornflakes (lowest fibre cereal) topped with peanut butter.

Going to start doing a weekly round-up on main lifts, so I can compare them easily week-to-week. Just like the "best set" from the _main_ lifts for the week. If these lifts are progressing over time, then I'm happy.

Notes

Good workout.

Trying out SL leg presses. A few years ago when I went to a physio about hip pain from running/squatting, but in a period when I wasn't going to a gym that machines (i lifted at my climbing gym), they were a strong advocate for SL leg presses as a controlled setting for improving hip function/strength. Seems plausible. Related reason for me to add in the abductor/glute work – getting hips strong in all planes can't be bad if I want to run more.

The knee pad was removed (!?) from the adductor machine, so that was (a) uncomfortable and (b) meant the ROM/stretch was less than usual, so could lift a bit more weight.

BJJ instructor was leaving the gym as I was arriving, lol, but he seemingly did not recognise me, so an awkward interaction was avoided.

A+ workout.

To my surprise, 0 soreness today from yesterday's run. Genuinely feeling quite chuffed about the pace/effort of yesterday's run. Will try to keep it around as a cardio option. Forgot how much I enjoy going for an easy run.

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.

Felt crap -- went to bed underhydrated and an attempted morning catch-up wasn't enough to get me feeling good for a lift. Objectively a great session though!
