Awesome pull day for me - and I didn't even over eat! I was only 162lbs this morning, which is pretty light for someone who is 6'2".

I think it is because I slept until 9a.m. ๐Ÿคซ Working primarily with the west coast of the US has some advantages I suppose!

Mostly a rest day for me today -- but didn't want to leave out the biggest muscle of them all!

After my fantastically lazy morning / early afternoon ... chest day was indeed, best day! I am a bit worried my chest is out of proportion with the rest of me. Pondering swapping a pec exercise for side-delt exercise in these routines.

Sigh, and now Sunday scaries at full blast...

I had such a decadent morning - couldn't be bothered with chores so binged the first three episodes of #Plur1bus with cups of tea and chocolate!

So good - the little details identifying a Gilligan show are plentiful and Rhea Seehorn is excellent as always.

I know who my 'pirate lady' would be...

Finally saw this - excellent - not sure how much of the story is true, but the acting was amazing.

How history might have been different had Cohn not taken that first case.

The BBC should learn from this and counter sue for $5b for reputational damage to it!

Good leg day - think I'm still working off last night's curry! It is the only time I am a little grumpy about being somewhat tall (187cm) - it doesn't seem to matter how hard I try, I have the legs of a cartoon chicken...

Super performance by #England to beat the All-blacks. I am worn out from watching though - I think I only enjoyed the last two minutes, the rest was simply too stressful!

Nice pull day for me today, but I had to cut it short because of nutty work. 15 hours at work today, but I still spent 88 minutes working out. I am feeling quite pleased with myself. The large and tasty beef massaman curry I had out may have helped too! Now, itโ€™s very definitely bedtime.

Somewhat tough push day for me today. Am quite pleased with myself over the last week. I feel a bit sore, which is unusual for me, especially my elbows -- why? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ -- so looking forward to tomorrow's "active rest" day.

Never so happy to finish leg day as I was today! My nemesis exercise, the Bulgarian Split Squat, defeated me again as I toppled over during the final reps.

Working out when hungry is no fun - I am in awe of anyone that can do it. I even licked the underside of my shaker clean tonight! ๐Ÿ˜†

So-so pull day for me today. Back in my small calorie deficit and rather ran out of steam. Nice pump though - all I want is to be that big all the time. I will wake up tomorrow morning with biceps the size of almonds... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

mostly lazy day for me today and walk and a short workout, which given I have rugby and F1 to watch was a master-stroke of planning on my part.

Yeah, ok, it was a total accident!

My favourite push routine and it was fantastic! ๐Ÿ˜

Brunch with my sister, so treats galore and had plenty of energy. Project: "see my abs again" can go on hold for a day. Although with all the bacon and then the salmon I made, I had more than 250g of protein today, so hopefully put it to good use!

Nice leg day to end the week -- and unlike yesterday I wasn't grumpy. I think it must have been all those snacks yesterday. I was a pound heavier this morning ... erk!

It is the weekend... whoo hooo! I really need it; it must be nearly time for another holiday.

I was in such a bad mood before this, so needed a nice pull day to sort myself out, and it worked! I find nothing cheers me up like moving some heavy objects back and forth.

I was hungry today, so I've eaten all my 'only in emergency snacks', which were supposed to last another four days! ๐Ÿ˜†

A rather dismal push day. Didn't get close to any PRs. I guess they can't all be great, but I ate, I slept ... not sure why it was so bad.

So I head to bed disgruntled with myself.

I am a bit of an #AI fanboy - if nothing else it keeps me fed and a roof over my head - but TIL that nVidia is now worth more than the economic output of Germany - the *whole* country!

Good leg day - but I overate so needed to put some of those 3,000 calories to good use! I had plenty of fuel. Sigh, will write it off as a bad day, and try again tomorrow.

Although, after that, I had to sit down to drink my protein shake! ๐Ÿ˜†
