Approved Log My Training Log - First Cycle Log

Last week was a mess. Thankfully not so bad it was a complete write off. This week is already off to a wacky start but I'm still at the gym right now, even if I'm in another city.
Should have some time this arvo to sit down and see how my numbers looked last week.
Not gonna let a couple of off weeks throw me off.
 
So instead of a long story about how ****ed last week was I'll give you the quick dirty. It was already planned to be a little off course, had plans for wed/thur that was going to throw out the gym schedule so I prioritized my lifting days mon/tue to account for this, and planned to try and hit cardio in the evenings taking the dog for a good walk or something, worst case I was only going to miss cardio/core days, and then should have been able to hit legs as usual on Friday.
Instead, Tuesday afternoon I got notification my 2 day plans were cancelled which was a huge blow to moral as I had been waiting 4ish weeks for this, and rebooking was looking at a 6 week wait. Killed any motivation to stick to the diet plan, completely threw Wednesday out, thankfully I was able to move my leave, and as much as it sucked rebooked my plans across state for mon/tue this week. Due to the low moral and kids sharing, the mild cold kicked me in the ass Thursday and Friday, so I ended up missing both workouts there as well as Wednesdays in hopes I could recover quickly for this week.
Thankfully I still ended up pretty good with the numbers. A net neutral week is perfectly acceptable considering the circumstances and I'm very happy with that at least. Even managed to get my normal Monday workout in, the biggest benefit of the super commercial gyms I guess.
Aim is now to just have as many good weeks as I can before a break from tracking over Christmas, and then will probably hit the cut again for another month or something. Was also planning to do my 4 week post blast blood test monday, so that will happen next monday instead. Then I'll be looking for advice on where I go from here.

Laughing at the above being the quick and dirty.
Today's workout was mostly ok. Still dropping strength on some lifts I was barely progressing when I was full of test and food. But I know I have to live with that reality.
Still making progress on other lifts that I haven't maxed out on yet which is good. Still feel pretty strong and pushing to failure so happy regardless at getting there and lifting weights.
If I'm honest, not loving the new plan so I think I might already switch back. The volume in the individual workouts feels off, even if it's less over the week. I really got into the habit with my brosplit, and it was working, so if it ain't broke why fix it? Especially considering I was much more motivated and keen to do it.

I'm really grumpy and sad about my first world problems and wasn't motivated to go the gym but I went anyway, and then I got there and didn't have my earphones so I wanted to leave, but I didn't, workout was fine, preacher hammer curls are brutal, but look, vascular. 🥲

I got my workout in today, well most of it. Progress on my squats but bailed with two exercises left cause I felt like I was gonna puke and pass out. Little bit of sugar and some fresh air fixed me up. Pretty sure I probably just tanked my blood sugar. 😅
