Thanks. I'm just cruising at the moment. The last few workouts have been so, so easy 
I'll be away from the weights between Friday 27 June and Saturday 5 July, so it seems like a bit of a waste to just cruise. However, I need to because the past month was intense, let alone the week of 1RMs and three weeks worth of exams!
I'm at an interesting point where I have gained a good amount of muscle and my strength gains have been pleasing, yet I'm also feeling really fat, slow and out of shape. I'm not really comfortable with it as I had a hard time as a chubby teenager before losing a lot of weight.
Consequently, I'm going to have three weeks dedicated to leaning up and losing some fat. I'll have those three weeks off from university (between semesters) and more time to dedicate to training, cardio and a clean diet. I'll outline my fat loss program which is anything but conventional, goes against sound logic, and one I probably wouldn't advise anybody else to do That said, I know what works for me and this works incredibly well at stripping off as much fat as possible in a short time frame:
Day 1
Bench Press 3 x 5
Barbell Rows 5 x 5
Close-grip Bench Press 2 x 5
Day 2
Squats 5 x 5
Deadlifts 5 x 5
Day 3
Overhead Press 5 x 5
Chin-ups 5 x 5
Day 4
Rest or repeat from Day 1 depending on how I feel.
Cardio
Every training day in the AM, empty stomach. One of the many forms of HIIT or energy systems work, depending on how I feel.
Diet
For the purpose of these three weeks, I will be simply cleaning up the crap I have been eating and restrict carbs to my pre and post-workout meals.
I'll be running that between July 6 and 28, then start my modified WSB.

I kept playing because we had no substitutes 
To make matters worse, mid-way through the second half my calves started to cramp. My pre-game nutrition was very good as normal, but I'm lacking some conditioning. Biggest factor though was that my carb drinks were missing a potassium/sodium product that is used as a salt substitute, because that makes a huge difference for me.
Better run - its late and I have an exam in 9 and a bit hours time
