Thursday 15th July 2021
COVID lockdown has been extended another 2 weeks here - putting it to good use healing up
Achilles tendon insertions feel better, so the drop in Calf raise ISO load was a positive move.
Added in more things today as my quad/patella and right glute medius tendons have improved enough
Most things felt easier, more stable today - so body is adapting
Bodyweight has dropped down to 87.7kg already this morning, just by the change in diet structure.
feel more energetic as well.
