Really wasn't feeling it today, I think it was mostly due to tiredness. Spent half the day yesterday freezing cold and soaking wet. Wife and son did the City to Surf, and it poured down. We were all shaking the time we got home from the cold. I ended up going to bed at 9, interesting how much being cold can drain you.

Anyway I was raving to go on the hack squat but it didn't go my way, 120kg was really hard work, had planned to go up to 160 thinking it would be an easy step up, but really struggled with less weight than last week. Good news though, I've made strides in mitigating knee pain, feet at the top of the plate vs half way down, and feet turned out slightly. Knees was fine up to 140kg.

Once I get my legs a bit further towards where they were I'll start working on the body parts missed out here. My shoulder still isn't 100% and although I can train it, it's a bit achy still. With BJJ constantly exerting it, I want to give it a rest for a bit in the gym. I'm pretty confident that it's sadly BJJ which is seriously delaying my adductor strain.

Going when we don't really feel like it, is where it really counts. Nice work.

Thanks, I'd love to say I have the discipline to always do it. Afraid I don't, I still let too many workouts get missed due to various reasons. I have absolutely no excuse as I have a home gym. But the freezing cold gym at home needs a lot of motivation to train in at the moment.

Finally remembered to change the battery in the scales yesterday and took my first weight check in over a week, and just looking at my weight now looks like I'm eating pretty well at maintenaince. Slight fluctuation as you can see from my holiday but back on track now.

The big drops are when I've dropped my test dosages, obv I carry a quite a bit of water on my cycles. But I'm too afraid of losing the rest of my hair at the moment. I never thought I'd care about balding, but now the time is here I really feel like keeping it as long as I can.

They do say it's quicker to lose hair while on gear, but have you noticed this happening to you. Also depends on how much gear you're pushing.

I've only done higher test and anavar. My next cycle is Deca, have two vials sitting in my cupboard. Haven't really noticed any hair loss. Well my wife gave me some exfoliating scalp cream as was apparantly good for your skin... that gave me a bit of loss. Obvisouly all that hair hanging on my string thread.

I'd like to run mast, but although it's DHT based like Anavar, it has much higher androgenic rating, and is renowned for causing hair loss for people with male pattern baldness. I've got a grade 2 top and 1 on the sides, so it's not like I have much hair. I've just been told by a few people when I shaved it off I looked like I was going through chemo.

I don't mind being bald and massive, it's just the time in between
