0/10 Leg day. Legit couldn’t do anything without my back feeling funny.

Leg extensions, nope. Hack squat, nope. Goblet squat, nope.

I’ll just go for quick run and call it a day. I need to heal and get back to it.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. My current goal is to continue to cut weight anyway so any type of physical activity is a plus. What I do in the kitchen is more important.

We move.

Your body would have just seen the training session as stress not stimulus. Poor recovery = higher cortisol, slower metabolism, insulin sensitivity drops. All these are important factors to keep in check during your cut so your body doesn't start fighting back and trying to hold on to fat.

✅ Still working out the kinks for the diamond pushups and Pike presses but I was surprised at how much better they felt today. I might actually just bush diamond pushups and replace them with closer hand position or use rings

Back injuries are no joke, you literally can not do anything with a injured back. The back is extremely important.

Massage therapist told me my arms/shoulders and specifically right calf is very tight. Hope work allows me to actually keep appointments and work these type of things out as I think my calves keep me from getting a 9-minute mile.

And it may be time to identify/eliminate the possibility of cubital tunnel syndrome. Grip disparity between hands is considerable.

First week doing 4 days on the new routine went well. Monday I got 70 reps but Tuesday I only got 50. Thursday I hit 70 again and today I only got 60. Granted pull-ups and dips are harder. Once I hit 50 apart of me wanted to just call it but i fought for those last 10. I wouldnt call my last rep clean but i tried my best.

I want to put up a consistent 70 each day before moving towards a new goal. Looking forward to resting on the weekend knowing I put my best foot forward
