So all in all at end of 2nd cycle: dips were an abomination, squats & pull ups were pretty good. Next week will just be f*cking around.

[xJimx]

Really ill over the weekend, including some major puking on Saturday. No food at all Saturday & maybe scraped 2000 cals yesterday. Can't go to gym tomorrow & also might not get there Wednesday so went today despite still feeling a bit ropey.

Not surprisingly had a shit workout I won't shame myself by logging; thankfully it's deload week anyway. Did some squats & nealy died, followed by lame upper body work.

Meh.

[xJimx]

No gym Tues/Wed as expected, so went for hard 30 min run (not sure of distance) at 11pm last night

Then just did some gentle dips so I'm rested for Monday & some heavy-ish weighted pull ups.

Congrats for PB, belt-mate! Good achievement after illness.

[xJimx]

Cheers mate!

Gym yesterday was pretty crappy, no mojo. Stress/tiredness from work/home shenanigans is getting to be an issue so I don't feel too motivated to workout right now; keep finding myself yawning during workouts which can't be a good sign!

thats a strong belt squat mate!

[xJimx]

Cheers JP, belt squats are going pretty good right now, although the chafing from the belt itself is pretty brutal on the heavier weights!

Cycle 2.3

New strategy for dips is to do some heavy holds/partials to get used to feel of the extra weight. On today's evidence a double bodyweight dip (i.e. +90) is utter crackpipe. Probably a lame excuse but the dips bars are suboptimal I reckon - they wobble quite badly & are a little too high for me so I have to jump up slightly at the start of each set.
