[Pazzy]

Getting better at crossovers, double unders, heel tricks and getting into it without messing up. shyt is fun as hell.

Always amazed at the emphasis on curls by people who honestly don’t look like they lift

Back is getting better but still not there. Maybe another week or so. Leg day is heavy on the machines these days while my back and groin heal. No squats, RDLs or DLs.

Slow and steady but consistent. Rounding out 2025 well. We move

Sometimes you just have to give your body a break. It's hard to explain, it might be something that comes with experience. There's a reason why most programs are have blocks/phases.

What kinda routine you do? Lol sometimes I`m like maybe I can ramp up intensity because I dont ever feel broken down fro the gym but I do Full Body alternating with Active Recovery cardio days so that could be why.

Yep

Also a lot of people are dieting/cutting in scientific and unscientific ways which adds to the need to manage workload accordingly.

I'm lift like a powerlifter(531) but right now I'm not going heavy. Even though I wasn't hurt and was still getting through my workouts, towards the end of October, things started feeling heavier than usual so I told myself I'll give me body break to end the year. Even when I max, I don't feel broken down. Maybe I'm thinking of something different but broken down sounds like something you should see a doctor about lol. That said, I also know my body well enough to know when it's time take the intensity down a little. My approach is if I can get through the workout and hit the numbers I'm aiming for, I'll increase the reps/weight the next time I do that workout.

Good upper body day today.

No BO Rows or anything that could tweak the discs in my spine (it’s a herniated disc that’s been messing me up).

Anything back related today had chest support eg chest supported seal rows.

Something is better than nothing.

Been learning this the harder way. But for me, a break has to be serious deloading of weights or switching up my type of activity.

So instead of lifting I’ll just take a moderate hike or go for a bike ride.

Main thing is finding a way to keep active
