Squatting Was Hard

Squat: 130x5 (too heavy) 120x2x5. No way my legs have fully recovered from the Saturday game. Hamstrings and back have been so sore today.

Abs.

'Ole Fashion GSLP Reset

Yep, I've reset. And I'm back on a linear progression. I think this might be the most logical way to go about getting back lost strength.

Press: 50 x 5, 5, 10

Chins: 21.25 x 5 x 3

Light Squat

Bench: 60 x 3 x 10

Slow - But Steady Progress

Squat: 162.5 x 1. Quite hard.

Bench: 95 x 1. Went for 2, almost got it but needed spotter.

Rows

DB Press

Chins.

I am making some progress which in encouraging. However, I just feel like I need more volume on pressing exercises. I think I'll do a couple of back off sets after the top set on bench and press from now on.

Press Day

Press: 61x6. Sprained my hand quite badly on Monday in a soccer game so pressing movements were quite painful. Might have got another rep or two without the discomfort

Chins: 21x6, 10x7. Smashed the first set of chins which is encouraging. Seeing my weighted chins skyrocket has been one of the few highlights as I have lost size and strength the last few months.

Rows: 18, 20, 22 (x15)

Hanging knee raises: 30, 20.

Bodyweight: 80.5. Upper body is looking lean as fuck but my abs still aren't as visible as I want them to be. Maybe the image in my mind of what I want to achieve is something closer to 8% bodyfat. I know genetics plays a part in ab visability too so that's another issue. Anyway, a couple more kilos lost should hopefully do the trick. I have to admit being under 78kg would be a little demoralizing. But with that said I know I'm close to my target and once I get there, and I can start eating to recover and gain a little mass, I will be loving life more than ever. So close I can taste it.
