I’ve been doing weighted chin ups and for some reason I got up to +12.5kg and immediately couldn’t do +10kg. I could be overdoing it, but it’s strange.

I got some small glass Tupperware containers that i can bake in, and so I've been making an egg white bake and then cutting slices off for breakfast. makes figuring out a whole meal so easy i let it bake for a bit and then put some corn and black beans in it so they suspend in the middle rather than sinking to the bottom

Friend I haven't seen in a while saw me today and asked if I'd been lifting. Well, yes. Yes I have. Back feeling better today, so I must not have screwed it up too bad last time.

saw a personal trainer at my gym doing incline db bench with the smallest ROM i’ve ever seen followed by using one of only two squat racks to do curls (cheating on every rep of course). good to know that’s always an option for a career change since apparently they’ll let anybody be a trainer

Did my first deadlift set in a couple of months, back is feeling a lot better but of course I took it easy. I also did sumo deadlifts which might be my go to going forward, felt like a lot less stress on my back (but still a good workout for it)

there was a deal for a family size of those new nerds/gummy candies, it was like $4. i haven't fallen off my diet but i think having that in the house is like leaving loaded guns around kids

I've decided to start working on side delts because my shoulders look like poo poo. Oh god, this is how you end up doing body building stuff isn't it? anyhow I've started to notice my chesticles in the mirror more now that I'm losing weight.

presently 85kg and I’m 5’10” so I’m a way off my goal of 90kg, which is the reported weight of Christian Bale in his Batman movies. I doubt I’ll get there but we’ll see. 5kg is a big jump and he looks way way bigger. I’m not doing his ridiculous steroid programme so that sets me way back.
