Was planning to push through the Christmas period without a break but gastro just before Christmas said no. After a week off I was super stoked to be back in the gym, even if I did manage to pull something in my chest, hopefully it'll be all good by chest day no. 2.
At least recovering from gastro meant I didn't gorge myself on Christmas food. XD

 

[SpoonT]

Back into the rhythm.

Gastro is the worst ... it's one of those sickness that make you wanna die.

Did you manage to get through it with out the fam catching it?

Nah both kids had it to, little buggers shared it with me. The wife somehow managed to miss it despite cleaning up after the 3 of us.

At the gym on New Year's Day, not because of any bullshit new years resolutions but because it's back and chest day. No #newyearnewme. Same me, same consistency. I won't stop until I'm dead.

 

[darkHORSE]

That's the way man! Consistency is key for sure.

Rough week, the week of felt like I got so much weaker. But still I pretty through.

Last year's progress was acceptable I guess. This year I'm gonna make it!

Bro! Smashing it! Imagine how good you’re gonna look this time next year!

Well today's gym session absolutely sucked. Did something to my right lat last week or over the weekend and it ****ing hurts, could barely even lie down on the bench, hurt to lie facedown on the leg curl machine and by the end of it hurt to take a deep breath. Gunna hope some ibuprofen and an Epsom salt helps.

No good brother. Hope it's nothing serious. Rest it and if the pharmacy meds don't work, best to see a GP.

That's a great steady drop in weight. Keep that momentum going man cause you're only going to get leaner and stronger.

Don't let this get you down. I would rest the upper and concentrate on your legs.

Back was an improvement today, still hurts but less. Managed to comfortably get through today's workout without lowering any weights.
Tomorrow is back day so will see how I go there.

I'd take it easy on the back, maybe skip it this week? You don't want to make things worse

 

[SpoonT]

I'll take it as it comes. Generally prefer to deload than skip completely.

A good approach, as long as you not hurting durng the sets.

Yesterday and today, pushing through whilst monitoring the pain areas. Seems to actually be chest I think, maybe a bruised rib? Only affected flat bench press on Wednesday.

 

[SpoonT]

Another week down and I'm absolutely cooked. Looking forward to my couple of rest days before I do it all again.
