Pretty poor workout really.

Diet really shit at the moment too. Too many end of year functions and lunches etc. That's always the problem with shredding for summer as opposed to shredding for a comp in the middle of the year. Supposed to be going to the races this arvo so could be another day involving beersies

[Paekakboyz]

Shit diet!!? You called?? ha ha bro I hear ya. This time of year is always harder with kai, add in some celebratory beers and epic sunshine and cutting gets cut!

Given you train the house down for like 95% of the year I reckon you can give yourself a pass.

But I'm not so sure about this missing squats though!

[Kirwan]

Yep, this thread is the metronome of updates. Very consistent with your exercise.

[taniwharugby]

@paekakboyz yep diet is my nemesis, and this is directly related to my belly fat!

The only way to shift it, would be a pretty decent shift to my diet, but I'll do it for a few days, weeks then fall off and be back where I started.

Just don't quite have the motivation to shift it, but then when I have a shirt on I look like I have a flat stomach, so it isn't 'that bad'

[JK]

I get major sweet cravings and find it hard to turn down anything that includes any of custard, icing, caramel, cream etc and there is always plenty of it going around
