Footage of big lifts:

Still not quite eating enough to hit my macros, and my weight still isn’t budging either. I have a fair idea that starting back up on creatine late last week is probably masking the weight loss, I definitely FEEL like I’m in a deficit. It’s either that or all that work I did reversing has achieved SFA and I don’t want to believe that.

Session notes:
– Didn’t get into the gym and start lifting til 8:30pm. Wasn’t really feeling up for it, pretty tired still from jet lag and sleep schedule. And stupid shit. Like, got up at 5:30am this morning just so I could shower and go to the supermarket before breakfast cos I was out of yoghurt and wanted it. Etc.
– Wasn’t real happy with the deadlift form. Muscled ’em up anyway. But upper back was getting looser than I’d like. Got worse on the deficits but that’s to be expected, it’s harder to get into the right position to start with and I was buggered.
– Did the GPP on virtually no rest – like none for the first two sets, and a minute between the last 3. Was only gonna do 3 rounds but decided (for reasons that seemed logical at the time) to do a fourth. On virtually no rest. Had sweat pouring off me by the end, so I probably needed it, I’ve been doing no conditioning except walking lately. Will probably start adding in cardio from next week to try and get this weight moving.
– That said, knocked it over in 56 minutes, and felt exhausted but decent afterwards. Damn I’m gonna sleep well tonight. Have a great night!
