Thurs 04 June

Bodyweight 83KG

Deads (60) 15 lower back feeling a bit bulgy (80) 6 better (100) 5 better - noticed that if starting in the right position I feel the weight on my hamstrings first and not at all on my lower back.

Put 25 kg - larger diameter plates on from here
(120) 5 comfortable (135) 3 good but grip going

All deadlifts done beltless and double overhand. Weights are still small, but given that I was not deadlifting for several months and fairly injured, i'm quite happy with this.

V. wide grip pullups 4, 4, 4, 4
Regular width 4 easier, 4, 4, 4

Dumbbell curls (16) 10, 8 (14) 6

Am getting leaner but still have plenty chub left to lose.

Work is running me down pretty seriously at the moment, so lacking energy, sleep and time for properly dedicated training, but all things considered it's going OK.

Thurs 11th June

Bodyweight 82.6

Should have been deadlifts, but this has been a 54hr working week with minimal sleep - and when I got to the gym at 07:00 (being half an hour later than usual made a big difference here), all 3 olympic bars were in-use so I couldn't deadlift unless I was willing to queue, which isn't usually an option when training before work.

My back had also been filling a bit s**tty from sitting for long hours with bad posture over the last week - and maybe also deadlifting slightly too heavy, slightly too early last week - so I took this as an opportunity to rest the deadlift and do some other random, slightly less tiring, but also worthwhile exercise.

Hamstring curls (45) 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

Goblet squats (26) 8 - felt weird (40) 7 good, 12 good - dumbbells unfortunately only go up to 40

Pullups 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Straight bar curls (40) 5, 5 (30) 10 hard

22 sets done in just under 38 minutes.

Bodyweight/ BF levels have gone slightly out of control over the last few weeks.

On a slightly more positive note, there is a small chance that i will be moving house later this year, which would mean - if it comes off - that I might have my own home training facilities. If that happens I should be able to get some sort of session in 3 times per week, almost regardless of other commitments.

i thought bodyfat levels and weight had got out of control up until my last post back on 12th June. Little did I know how f***ing fat I was going to get whilst still on this diet.
