Upper body & recovery lower today.
Recovery BS 6x125K, 8x130BK(PR)

BP 5x90, 6x90(PR)
Dips 12xBW(91)
 
Notes:
New nomenclature, B for belt, K for knee sleeves.

I asked someone to spot me on bp and explained only help me if i get stuck on my chest. He grabbed the bar halfway up on the 6th rep. Didn't get a spot on the 2nd set .. i knew i had 6 in me lol.

Ok why did no one tell me how much of a diffrence a belt+knee sleeves can make? On a recobery day 6x120kg is usually pretty challenging .. i did 8x130kg today with the belt and knee sleeves. And i had a couple of reps in me if i really wanted to go for a RM. Game changer. Not saying i will use gear everytime from now on.. but the benefits are clear .. my knees dont feel as beat up even though i used 10kg more for 2 more reps. Damn.

Starting the diet counter over again after that weekend. Feeling okay, training today, want a PR number of raw doubles with 150kg. Going to be interesting considering i lifted saturday, balled sunday and it's monday and im gna go for squat PRs. But like Todday once said, it's not about hitting PRs when you're fresh .. it's about making progress when you're in the middle of a hard training block. That's more valuable to an athlete. Because let's face it, from here on it doesn't get easier. More basketball but i still have a ton of PRs to get in the weight room. Just have to make it work.
BS 2x150, 5x2x150BK

Notes:
turns out training 3 days in a row wasn't a good way to get squat PRs. Sadness. But i did 6x2x150 .. hopefully friday i can do better and go for like 6x3x150kg.

Totally messed up dietwise. Started with 3 macaroons, 1 snickers frozen icecream thingy. Next had 2 snackboxes from HJs with nuggets/chips. Finished with a pizza and half a box of maltesers. Got that out of my system. I think i was grieving the end of something.

I continued to fall off the wagon yesterday but surprisingly even when i did/do, i always felt/feel in control. It's a different sort of state to when i fell in the past where it was completely of my control. Like im willingly relinquishing myself as opposed to being driven by hormonal demons. Prob because  in the past if i have been dieting for a while and im lean then the hormones are stacked against me and the body's gna try to pile the weight back. Interesting stuff to experiment with. Maybe im just better off weighing 90kg b/c i wont have any major diet setbacks b/c they're limited to when and how i choose to reassert control over my caloric balance. 

So a few things ive noticed, my activity tracker band broke. And without it, i feel i have been less inclined to stick to the plan. I need to get a replacement sorted out soon.

Not to dwell in this .. not interested in that, just wanna get back on track. Today is a good day, combo of training and PRs will help me get there!

Bball, recovery lower, upper body training.
Bball training (90 minutes - grueling post work)
BS 6x130KB(warmup PR), 8x132.5KB(PR)
BP 6x70, 1x90

Notes:
Couldnt lift before bball. Still somehow managed a 8 rep PR on 'recovery' day. Playing with the 1rm calculator, 8x145kg ->180kg. Gives me smething to shoot for over the next couple of months.
