really want to as not seen anyone for ages. but its dependent on car, and i may be having to work on a in-car pc install on a corsa for the new business. and i really need the money atm. if the work aint on ill try nick sarahs car and pop down.
i could do with it tbh, as with the back losing the inspiration atm.

365.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq		Last night activities were core workout. Upped bridge plank to a minute. Though 1st was ok, after that quite difficult. And also upped to 30 crunches and side crunches and 20 hypers. Getting into a nice routine like doing it. And seeing a good improvement.
It really freed up my back, granted couldn’t lift out but I was able to sit and lie down without being uncomfortable and in pain. Ftw.

This followed a hair cut. Awesome, looked more like a man and less like I had a hedgehog for a head.

Food was made for today to get diet on track after couple weeks off. The proceeded to listen to sex on fire very loud. Though I listen to heavy metal when lifting and training, something about that song clears the mind and empowers me. Had a decent sleep for a change

Up this morning. And was very hard to motivate myself to get out of bed. Quite frankly I wanted to turn over, wake up Mrs. Pitbull and give her a damn good seeing to. Then go back to sleep for an hour. She however didn’t take kindly to this and proceeded to go to sleep. So out I got, coffee, some cashews and drink and out we go. Same routine as last week. As much as I hated it I feel good now. My fitness is still poor. But jog to football pitch, I wasn’t quite so f**ked. Couple sprints of the field and back. Well, I can only get fitter that’s for sure.

365.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq		Squat day

After the cardio in the morning, felt good going into this, though I am tired atm. Back was bad but calmed down after some stretches etc. although nothing great happened, my back held up nicely. Though on the 120k I could really feel it. Belt was used from 100k upwards. Struggled getting syked up again this week. Think the back is starting to really make me lose some motivation and not much aggression on the heavy lifts. Needs to be corrected!

Few mins warm up on cross trainer and some stretches.

Squat-
60 x 5,5
80 x 3
100 x 3
110 x 3
120 x 2
110 x 2

Nothing special. Not really on track for tripling 130k by end of month. With the small break hasn’t helped. Next week I want to triple the 120k again.

Front squats
40 x 6
50 x 6
60 x 5

Lame excuse for fronties. But felt weaker than last time lifted.

Barbell Shrugs
60k x 8
80 x 8
100 x 7

Struggled for grip. And going high weights the gip really slips.

Body feels smashed today. Don’t know why. And the knees are bad due to get my lard arse to do some cardio.

Tomorrow, cardio in morning again. The pressing in evening.

365.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq		Actually looked back through logs and its was to triple 120k. I have tripled it but wasn’t overly happy. So ill triple that again by end of month, then go to 125 for triple then 130 then rep out a few singles to mix it up.
