Approved Log My Training Log - First Cycle Log

Very unmotivated today, so much so that I chucked a sickie from work, slept in til 11. I'm out of my routine and I hate it, but I'm hear at the gym any way. No excuses.

Bench is stalling again, always get conflicted here between wanting to get lean and wanting to get stronger.

Hey @SpoonT awesome work with the tracking, wish I was at the stage. One consideration which you may find helps with your tracking for weight is to use a 7 day average rather than looking at individual days. This really helps even out the variables which affect your daily weight, such as what's in your system, hydration etc.

For todays day measurement, you take the total of the previous 7 days and divide by 7. So today is actually the average of the last 7. This enables much more accurate tracking of weight change.

Yup absolutely agree, I take my week average already, you can see above in my tracking. That's the number I try to focus on.
 
But you can have you weekly average as a daily average, so every earlier cell where your weekly average is you have the previous 7 days average. If that makes sense. Anyway glad you're using an average, sorry I missed that in your table.

Finding the balance between is tough but strength gains can boost metabolism and a leaner body can improve performance. I'd focus on both and let them complement each other :)

If I'm honest I think I have a pretty good balance at the moment weight is going down and I don't seem to dropping strength or losing muscle. Can't help but think it'd be more efficient to cut harder or bulk for a bit. But cutting hard is miserable and I don't wanna bulk cause still as chubby enough as it is.
Just gotta keep reminding myself of my goals and to stay on target.
1. Nice leanish 20% bf
2. Enjoy nice clean lean gains at maintenance
 
Felt brave today and switched it up. Did pull ups. Last time I tried pull-ups I could do 1-2 with really scuffed form. Today I got 4,3,3 with good form. Feels like a really good milestone. 💪💪

Nothing exciting to report from today's workout. But I did go buy lunch after my workout and managed to resist wiping out half my days calories on a KFC meal and just got nuggets instead.
