Session:
Wednesday - Shoulders, Arms
Session felt strong overall. The dumbbell shoulder press moved well, but the shoulder pump came on fast and bordered on painful, particularly across lateral and face pull work. Slightly impacted rep quality on later sets. Arms were fine to train through and everything moved steadily, with no drop-offs across biceps or triceps.
Cardio:
15-minute walk at lunch.
Nutrition & Supps:
Four solid meals in by the time of logging, including oats and whey for breakfast, a microwave meal for lunch with added jasmine rice, and a tuna + rice pre-workout meal. Digestion was notably better today after skipping the sweeter casein protein options, and appetite was solid. Pre and intra-workout included pump juice, carb powder, Disorder, ALCAR and creatine. Tracking to hit macro and calorie targets with dinner still to come.
Recovery:
7 hours and 28 minutes sleep last night with good quality. Elbow discomfort remains minor and manageable. No other recovery issues to report, and energy has held up well through this week’s training so far.
Current PEDs:
Same as previously mentioned. No injection today.
Current Health Supplements:
Same as previously mentioned.
Side Effects & Adjustments:
Mood was steadier today and stress has improved off the back of juggling some work tasks. No other sides to note- energy and drive remain in a strong place.
Adjustments Made:
None today. Bloods coming up in the next couple of weeks which may lead to refinements depending on results.
Progress Updates:
Morning weight: 111.0kg. Look continues to run slightly softer at the moment, but nothing too scary just yet. Pumps and strength continue trending upward.
General Comments:
Good day today with fewer stressors and a more level mood. Motivation remains high and the system feels locked in heading toward next week’s deload. Tomorrow is legs, which should give further insight into how recovery is holding up under current loading.
