    Tanked up on caffeine so was pretty buzzing during the workout..

    Squats 125kg 3x6
    RDL 102.5 2x8
    Incline Bench 22kg 6,8,8
    Rows 42kg 3x8
    Lateral raises 8kg 1x10 - these feel very weird. Shoulders kept clicking.
    Dips 2x12
    Abs..


    Time to eat! Today's my refeed day.

    BW at 76.2 kg :zomg: (+0.2kg)

    First week over, wasn't as bad as I thought. Think i'm getting the shakes/headaches from mercury overconsumption...must have had about 15 cans of tuna the past week (just found out safe limit is like 3 :zomg:).

    Such an expensive process this. Also just noticed I've been using the wrong values for cottage cheese, so potentially beenunderhitting protein target.oh well..

    Re: Absolutely wonderful strength log with a less conspicuous title.
    Came home last night and all was going well diet wise until I gave into the alluring box of honey loops (couldn't have been more than 150g?) and porridge oats (no more than 100g?). Turned into a mini binge - will have to count this as my re-feed meal..bit gutted really as I would have preferred to occur post workout but oh well...Couldn't have had more than 1500 calories(i hope)last night I reckon so cutting still on tracking?

    Decent session today with all things considering

    Squats 127.5 3x6 (This was absolutely hard a few sessions ago even with my belt on and was absolutely painful for my hips).
    RDL - 2x10 102.5kg
    Incline bench 24kg 3x8
    Rows 44kg 3x8
    Chin Ups 1x8 bw
    Lateral Raises 1x8 8kg

    Diet has been pretty **** yet again since coming home. I feel fat. It's so hard to hit macros whilst on a budget and not wanting to dip into the bag of whey.

    This coupled with a **** days workout is extra gutting.

    Squats 130kg 6/3/4
    RDL 105kg 9/8
    Incline Bench 26kg 3x8
    Rows 44 3x10
    Abs

    Lots of mobility.

    Incline Bench 28kg 6/3
    Squats 132kg 3x6
    RDL 107kg 2x8
    Kroc Rows 50kg 3x8
    Tricep Dips (+15kg)x8/(+13.5kg)x10
    GHR ss Abs

    Was intending on refeeding today but had to have it last night. Pretty decent workout considering how poorly I've been as of late..May change the incline bench to seating military or dips.

    BW has skyrocketed to 76.6kg after my hedonic weekend :!.

    Sunday

    Squats 134kg 6/3
    Dips: (25kg) x6, (22.5kg) x8, (20kg) x9
    Rows: 50kg 3x8
    GHRs: (+10kg) 2x10

    Pretty **** and diet was pretty poor at the time - was on a 4/5 day binge (Horrible)! Munched through 2 boxes of cornflakes, a box of cheerios, box of rice krispies, box of bran flakes and **** loads of whey protein - not to mention other grub, decided to make shortbread too and ate it all the onner (125g butter/ 100g sugar/ 150g flour!!) And 8 muller corner crunches..such a glutton..Bodyweight on sunday was 80.5kg - ****ING HELL!

    Jumped back on RFL and currently 3/4 days into it. Thus, really surprised by today's showing especially after a full work shift.. Quite weird how the body can adapt.

    squats: 135kg 3x6
    RDL: 110kg 2x8
    Dips: (30kg) x8, (27.5kg) x9, (25kg) x5
    Rows: 52kg 3x8

    Bodyweight today is 77.4kg. Crazy water fluctuations are crazy...

    I know, is it common? I'm such a greedy bastard . I'm not even feasting on the glorius brand such as dorset cereals et al. Budget limits me to tesco value and water lol..

    You can't really notice the difference especially if you have addictive cereal like rice snaps and wheat bix lol. I like to add a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg.

    Decided to train today since the next few days at work are going to be quite labour intensive.

    Squats: 138kg 3x6
    RDL: 115 2x8
    Rows: 54kg 3x8
    Dips: (+32.5kg)x6, (+28kg)x7, (+25kg)x10

    Bw at 76.7

    Probably a bit tentative with my top sets but I only had one day of rest. Most important thing is that I'm still adding weight to the bar and workout wasn't too hard. 3 plates for sets across on saturday.

    Cows, have you got a link to your old blog? (the one where you did madcows for about a thousand years and made great progress before getting injured) Can't seem to find it.
