2nd day of second week off cycle.

Not trained too well over the last 2 weeks, had to miss a few sessions last week due to work commitments and this week to a niggley back, should be ok through chest and arms days (going to give legs and back a miss again........allow some time for some recovery)

Weight is still good and diet hasnt been too bad

Will continue on cycle again from monday 17th, hopefully back on track with training too.

A little worried about the back as i am running some courses over the next four weeks and could do without back trouble, may just avoid working back and legs until the courses are over

ONE SMART COOKIE

Why not just do some bodyweight exercises when you cant train at the gym and do some inversion for the back...worked for me..

samurai69

Good point on the BW exercises, used to do them when not in the gym, just forgot really

The inversion is good and i do, do a half body inversion, hanging from knees, not the best but it will do for the moment

winger

Inversion will only work for the lower back problems, providing that the injury is alignment. Also if one leg is longer than another one then it won’t work as well. If you use gravity boots, it is kind of aggressive. The bed is better only because it is more gradual.

ONE SMART COOKIE

Not really you can use brachiation for the mid-to upper regions..

No..it can be used for muscular injuries aswell if you know how to do it.

Now your just being argumentative as we both now everybody has some sore of imbalnce from left to right..


Only if your hanging for longer than a minute or two..

Weighed in this morning and weight is still at 95kg, started middle cycle of three and feeling ok

Went easy on shoulders as back is still iffy (higher rep isolation stuff - shoulders still feel worked)

back tomorrow, but will stick with pull-ups only and plenty of stretching after

samurai69

Back on cycle for 2 days and i was sick as a pig last night, so not taking todays 15mg, may take it later today or possible 30 mg tomorrow morning. (Stomach still feels a little churning)

This 14 day cycle's gotten off to a bad start really, back has been a bit of a problem, (though it feels like its getting better), and training is suffering a bit too and now stomach ache

Going to continue through this 14 days and see what the results are anyway as tthere is only going to be 1 more 14 day cycle before xmas hols and i would still like to get close (or at least closer) to the 100kg mark.

Keep going mate, life always throws some thing up to upset things! will be good to see you get to or close to 100kg, hows the diet now? do the effects seem to have tapered off now?

samurai69

Thanks fits

Diet was ok, but hurling and cr4ping all last night, down to 94kg and a bit dehydrated, going to take it easy food wise today and hopefull back on track tomorrow or friday.

Dont really think the effects have tapered off, the extended layoff a few weeks ago probably helped there. Some strength gains have slowed a bit, but thats a gym problem (not small enough incriments to keep adding weight) and slight lower back injury has ment going lighter on some pressing and lifting movements

fits

Just circumstances then eh? keep it up then S69, once your diets back on track you never know! hope you get to 100Kg! do you know what you will do after xmas? just keep going as you are until you hit 100kg?
