Thanks guys. A long way away from my goal, I was very optimistic over my goal of 90kg and sub 10% body fat. I'm going to get there, but a little further ahead than I was expecting.

That was a tough ride to work this morning, almost chucked in my helmet, I’m really looking forward to finishing Reta now. Can’t even eat breakfast these last few days. I guess if you’re truely obese you have higher motivation to tolerate the nausea.
But even though I’m on such a deficit I still managed another squat PB, 150x5. The first three were really good fork, fourth a little out but knew I could go for another.
Gym was the busiest I’ve ever seen it. Had to train around everything apart from the squat rack. No idea why.
One week to go and a week off, hotel has a small gym so not sure how that’ll go. At least there’s an MMA gym 10 minutes down the road so will try and get some training in everyday.

What was the dose with the Reta you're on?
I’m still only on 2mg a week, had planned on going up to 4mg. Still losing weight so will stick with this especially as I don’t want nausea to be more frequent. Incredible stuff how effective it is. Problem is I need to remember and force myself to eat.
Although far from a full session had a good one. Hit my 180kg PB deadlift, getting towards the magic 200kg. In fairness to myself I don’t train deadlifts much and have done more with the trap bar for better crossover into sport. Will try and get some more sessions in now I’m training around my AC and limiting exercises.
Had to drop my incline dumbbell press, could really feel my AC. Obviously too much with the deadlift long.
Off to Bali this week, not sure what my training is going to look like. No peptides for me whilst I’m away, shame you can’t front load them. I don’t dare take any gear with me. Will inject test upfront.

Nice one mate, have a great time in Bali. Where are you staying?
Half way between the airport and Kuta. The only gym I found was the Wawan fitness club. Degym looked infinitely better but not sure I want a 35min walk.
Enjoy Bali brother

Bali is awesome.
That's really good results.
Thanks all, and sorry for the silence, trying to organise work, and kids etc before holiday tomorrow and orgnising that stuff has been hectic.
No gym training, but did MMA yesterday morning, BJJ last night, and BJJ this morning. I could have swapped one of those for the gym but to be honest just didn't have the motivation.
Hoping to get a good mix of training in next week in Bali.
Have a good weekend all.

Most GLP-1 medications suitable for our lifestyle generally require only small doses especially an enhanced lifestyle. Dose adjustments should be considered only if you’re reaching a plateau, and it’s important not to increase doses solely based on time. Reta has the least activation of GLP-1 (hunger suppression compared to others), so your dose might be reduced accordingly. Additionally, adding a digestive enzyme can help alleviate nausea.
Well arrived yesterday. Hotel is great, food good. When and checked out the MMA gym, the local weights gym and the hotel gym.
The weight gyms are worse than expected. The local one is a fair size with lots of equipment but a serious lack of weights. Equipment all looks home made. Can’t believe I’ve made the decision to just train what I can in the hotel gym. The local gym has maybe at a push 200kg of plates for the entire gym. There’s about 8 other people here all sharing weights. No one is moving weight between equipment as it would stop other people training. The dumbell rack has three odd dumbells on it. Guess the rest are randomly around the gym.
The hotel gym is pretty poor. I think the smith machine bar would snap with 150kg on it. The machine is being balanced with weight plates.
Goes from bad to worse. Came to train MMA and ended up sat outside writing this. No one showed up for what is supposed to be a group class. They were trying to get me to pay half of the 10 sessions I wanted to book last night. No way in the world after this am I pre-paying them $200 for 10 classes which may or may not happen.
Was about to leave but torrential down pour has trapped me. At least I’ve got some sort of Balinese drum and bass playing
can’t walk back as only have mesh bag and don’t want my three pairs of gloves to get soaking.
Fingers crossed the next post is more positive.

Positive post, I’m in a good gym!

$45 for three sessions. By far the best gym I’ve been able to find which is reasonably close (10 minute taxi ride $2.50).
Found a really nice place but it’s 45mins by car. https://reloadsanctuary.coms worth checking if you’re in Bali.
JRXNA is an incredibly quiet gym. The whole gym could hear we grunting out my squats. Wooden veneer floor throughout and no rubber mats. Interesting choice for a gym when you have free weights.
Equipment quality is between reasonably quality home and commercial gear. Indonesian brand called Positive Strength, it’s certainly not AlphaFit.
Two squat racks with 4 sets of Olympic plates. Squat rack has 10cm between holes which made it impossible to get the bar the right height for with or without shoes for me. This and the accidental pouring of hot water in my protein shake didn’t have me in the right mindset and only managed 2x150kg rather than the 5 or so I’ve been doing.
The changes rooms are far too big for the size of the gym. They really should have made these much smaller and had a larger gym footprint. No leg extension, plyo boxes or anything for functional fitness. No trap bar, or deadlift platform.
Only two free benches which are shared between weight area and two smith machines, easily enough room for three in the weights area.
No antiseptic wipes but there’s about 10 plates of coffee granules hidden around the room. I like coffee but I’d prefer the gym not to smell of it. Luckily my sense of smell is shockingly bad from so many broken noses. I can only smell it if I try.

I've always wanted to try one of those converging unilateral chest press machines. Maybe without the smell of coffee in the air...
Hope you're having a great time!
Yeah that’s on the cards for tomorrow. I’m wondering if it’ll put more or less stress on my AC.
Today I managed to find a real MT gym called Mirah, a bit of travel but worth it. I had a private session with Kevin Junior, he runs the Bando gym in Perth too. Lethwei and Muay Thai. I can’t imagine ever doing lethwai those guys are crazy indeed.
Has its own stadium which is cool, a bit rundown but never expected anything like this in Bali. They’ve had a lot of pro fighters through here. I much prefer this environment than the swanky posh fight clubs. He’s hoping to renovate it soon and put events back on.
Overall a really good session and good to catch up with a fellow Aussie. Have a few more privates booked here now. Had a great deep tissue massage after.

Early breakfast and back to Mirah for training. Another great session with Kevin, I’m absolutely ruined and heading to the gym so will have to take it light.
I’ll probably do a bit of a random workout and try some of the machines I haven’t used before.
Then rush back to the hotel to take the kids to the waterpark.
He wasn’t messing around about the renovation they’ve started taking it down already.

So realised when I rocked up I had forgot my trainers so I’m training in thongs. And forgot spare clothes for after, feeling sorry for my taxi driver already. I was back in the same position after a cold shower at Muay Thai. And totally drenched.
Got to the front desk and they told me my membership had expired. I had been sold 3 days consecutive and not 3 sessions. They were good about it and sorted it out.
Today must be loud music day. Sounds strange only having music really loud in one end of the gym blasting mono sound across the room. I haven’t checked but I think they’re using one of the running machines for music.
The converging chest press has fantastic motion and really deep strength. Wish my gym had one. This particular one was n’t a great design though. The bench could move forward and back and angle change, but no height adjustment so my legs were flapping around like a toddler in a high chair. As soon as I put more than 30kg on it the bench was rattling all over the place.
The prone Leg extension machine has zero adjustment. The roller starts mid way in my calves and at top of range it’s on my ankles.
I put 40kg on it and could only just move it a few cm. Put 20kg on it and could feel hardly anything mid way up. Without a doubt the worst leg machine I’ve ever used. Essentially the strength curve is unusable. 100% at the start and -50% at the top.
Incline chest fly machine has a nice range of motion and good weight curve. Only issue with this one is that it doesn’t have rotating handles so feels like your palms are being ripped off.
The gym overall most definitely has been designed by an investor and not a gym user. The equipment feels like it’s been designed either for the lowest possible cost for semi commercial gear or by people who don’t use the equipment.
