nice session what do you think you the paused front box squat?

 

[ExtraMile]

Not great fun lol, but I don't mind doing them.

Also I'm keeping my belt very loose, just enough to be in contact with my stomach to remind me to push my stomach outward, so not really getting any support from it, when I get back to max weights I'll crank it a bit tighter to help with stability a bit. I only wear it for my top set of back squats though, not for lighter sets or assistance work.

Calves are real sore from yesterday. Spent the day today walking around London with the family. Ate semi clean... Had 70g protein via eggs for breakfast, plus some organic yogurt and fruit. Took some wholemeal tortilla wraps to eat on the go and ate 3/4 of a pound of chicken throughout the day with veg. Don't normally eat things like wraps but they are easy to eat while walking around. Had a protein bar, then ate out at a restaurant and had a chicken pizza with garlic bread... And finished off the pizza my brother and mum didn't eat haha. Then came home on the train late and had a protein shake w/ extra virgin olive oil, and a little oats plus an apple and some fish oil then crashed into bed.

Training tomorrow morning...

Been really having trouble with motivation on and off for the last 2 weeks. I often wakeup not wanting to do anything, let alone cook and then workout. I force myself to do it then get home from the gym and feel lethargic all day. I think it's probably due to an irregular sleeping pattern and not staying active throughout the day. That's also probably why I've smoothed out a bit and havnt been gaining mass.

Need to get back at it. Diet has been good but I've been slacking recording my daily diets...

Let me tell you something humans are very habitual creatures. So if you get into the habit of being lethargic and laying around, you will feel like laying around all the time. If you get into the habit of being active and doing stuff, you wont want to lay around you will feel energetic and ready to lift.

I've been in the lethargic mood before too though just bust out of it!
