164.2 this morning. Weight is definitely going up which is what we want.
Training has been going ok however I’m not liking the 3 on 1 off. My muscles feel recovered by the time I go back in the gym however my joints seem to be taking a hit, I feel much tighter. Having more frequent rest days allows me to focus on my mobility, stretching, resting. I’m not liking this approach too much. Will look to make a change in the coming days. + I’ve noticed that I’m slightly less eager to train. Working a full time job too, I really do value my rest days to relax and not be so rushed all the time.
Tried splitting macros across 4 meals this week but didn’t like the size of those meals, not ideal for digestion so back to my trusted 5.
Next push session will try to put pressing first again, isolations later. Will thoroughly warm up to get everything firing before pressing.
Been watching a lot of matt jansen training: text book form and very big on the basics. Been emulating his tempo on back movement: controlled eccentric, hang at the bottom, assertive concentric without spending significant time in the contraction. I highly recommend.
I’ve also unfollowed many people on instagram, any one who’s a copy cat, unoriginal and doesn’t inspire is out. I think this is important because so often we replicate what we see whether in life or in the gym.
For training clips I recommend Dan Bastick, Nick Walker, Jansen, Jewett, JP, AJ and Kuba for the intensity he brings. + Hollingshead in off season mode. Miss the days of JP throwing up 90 kilos dumbbells.
Legs today after work + cinema hobbs and shaw. Lovely
