excellent work, Dani!

 

smashing those goals must feel great

 

I tweaked some muscle in my lower back playing around with my dog yesterday; annoying... it's only mild, but annoying... will see how it goes at the gym this evening.

Ended up catching the flu so the deload went for a bit longer than planned.

 

Got back into it yesterday with the high rep stuff again and it's going good. Strength is ok, stamina has suffered but will recover in a week or so after a whole bunch of eating.

 

Haha looking forward to see how far I can go before I need to back off again.

What's the rough schedule for standard deload? 6 weeks or so?

It varies but at the 6 to 8 week mark of progressive overload you should be aware of and look for signs that you're accumulating too much fatigue.

Also high rep squats can get farked. TF for only 3 sets...2 to go lol 

keep on smashing it that's the only way forward and the reward is always worth it

That's spot on! I tell myself, don't be a farken pussy, then I just do it anyway. You want the gains you gotta lift them damn weights!

Very minor doms after a few weeks off. Haha the happy brain juices are doing their thing too which makes everything better 

My 5yo daughter comes up to me and tells me she can do push-ups. She then proceeds to do 2 sets of 20 push-ups.

 

Wtf?

haha that's gold
