Didn't avoid squats for once. Tried the combo of lifting shoes without my othotics and form felt pretty good, if heavy.

Glad to hear shoes helped .Small things like that makes a difference. What was the kgs and sets you did for squats?

Solid. Are you using a belt? Adds that extra support and piece of mind when you go heavy

I wasn't but afterward I was thinking I need to add that back in too. For that stability. Depends on if you consider 100kg heavy for not

It's whenever you think you need it. Rebel sport have one that does the job. I have the same one but an older version.

Feels good to be getting my bench back up to old numbers. And it felt GREAT maxing out the leg extension machine.

Some days I don't feel like I'm in the gym long enough, that maybe I should throw on some extra cardio or something. But, I am in there 5 days a week.

 

[SpoonT]

Really did not want to go today, but I no longer accept "can't be bothered" as an excuse to myself. What else am I going to do on my lunch break anyway?

 

[SpoonT]

Arms felt really strong today, feels good I'm starting to see more definition in biceps and triceps, just gotta get the bf% down more.

Hardest part, is to actually get to the gym. Once your there its easy. And then when you leave it's the best satisfaction!

Absolutely. Once I'm there I'm locked in and focussed.

Might sound like a broken record lol, but I think if you can fit steps into your day, it'd do wonders.

You're probably not wrong, I get a good 6k-7k in most days, it'd probably only need to take the dog for a walk to hit 10k. I'm sure the dog would like that.

That's still good, but if you can just hit the 10k consistently, you won't regret it.

The only form of cardio I do is steps. It's one of those things that you need to be patient with as it takes a little bit of time to see the results. Walking + Weight training its a great combo.

Another week of workouts done and dusted, avoided squats again cause cbf and channeled my inner white girl with some hip thrusts instead.
Might try and get my steps up over the weekend.

 

[SpoonT]

A good week of tracking and discipline.
