Weighed in this morning bang on 80.0kg. Diets been really good of late. Moved pretty much all carbs to around workout and post workout. Then low carb high fat and protein all through the day. Bit more carbs at dinner. Diet cleaning in general but still plenty of beers (low carb) in there. Already noticing the effects

[MN5]

Still busted out more than a double bodyweight single there fella, gotta be happy with that !

Like yourself I haven't done them in ages, to emulate you I'd need a single @210kg so that might take a few sessions to get up to.....

[JK]

Cheers bud. Could have probably pulled anther 10 or 15kg more today but gotta keep back in one piece

Helped a mate load a trailer full of shit yesterday avo and ended up doing an impromptu deadlift session of sorts lugging it fully loaded and hooking it onto the back of the truck. Great fun and pretty sure the form was ok too.

[JK]

Calves killing me today after a good stair session yesterday down the local. Just did 20 repeats alternative two step sprint and single step sprint but just seemed harder than normal.

Rolled out before. Lucky to still be alive

[JK]

Alright shred well and truely underway now as 1 October and time to get those abs ready for summer without losing too much weight. Approach will be similar to previous years - ie dropping the carbs back and consuming them around workouts. Carb cycing too (as usual) so heavier carb in take days on days of heavy training, lower on days of non training. Refeed / cheat meals where earned but usually friday or saturdays.

Not too much change to training from what I've been doing lately. Gonna try keep it heavy and good intensity.
