Have been working out, same 2 a week tempo.
Till 2 weeks ago, when I just got a new job. Didnt hv time to hit the gym mon-fri, but managed to get some time in the courts. One full body session on weekends.

Not much drop in numbers yet, except for squat. I definitely can't do 140 now, but 120 is still manageable.
Did a 20rep 100kg squat as a finisher 2 weeks ago.

Gotta start look for gyms near my place.

There's this very tight spot in my right quad, rolling hasn't helped. Didnt squat last week cos of it too.

If its any consolation, still getting 33 or so. Nowhere near my best, not gonna happen unless I get all my injuries sorted out.

Still the same.

Sat full body workouts, weekdays I supplement with sprints and bw stuff.

I can't keep at this forever tho, gonna find a gym ASAP.

Just graduated from UOL, econs shit. At hindsight, prolly shudve done something easier, but completin sth tough just makes it all the more sweeter haha.

Sup adarq! Great to see u back  :highfive:

University of London, not exactly Harvard, but still pretty tough. For me anw lol.

I see ur training direction went a whole new way bro, care to fill me in on why?

The vol based schemes, u think it's more of a GPP thing, or u reckon it will get u to where u were with your max effort/max weight direction in the past?

Also, why can't u jump in your frees or waffles now?

ya gpp for now.. just need to get back into decent condition.

i'm going from 1 year vacation of absolutely no working out, to working out.. so ive got ~2 months of work to do just to get into decent shape.

i don't really think i'll return to 'max effort' stuff... who knows, but, i kind of want to stay light.. focus more on higher reps.. it's a bit 'safer' and better for my tissues/body at this point.

that was my mistake.. just ordered the waffle 8's, amazing.. going to order 2 more pair soon, then order some 9's.

waffles 4 life :D

peace man

Wassup vag lbss adarq et al!

Haven't been posting, still working out. Not as regularly as in the past, but still at least a weights session + a bw session a week.

Got sick of doing sets of 8 on the squats, so did 5s the last workout, got to 125, so that was cool.

Upper body stuff more or less on maintenance, agai due to being unable to hit the gym. Work is tough haha.

Works a bitch, really not much time to get in gym work. So for now it will have to be tryin to maintain as much strength as possible, till I figure out how to get around things.

Got a double at 130kg ytd. Upper body work, some ohp, pullups, incline benching, rowing. And 2 sets of curls LOLOL.

Work capacity dropped, gotta get back in the groove of things.
