Legs today, yehaaa. Well it was until I went to rack 360kg on the last set of leg press and it popped out, lucky the the safety works.

Romanians were a fail due to my periformis playing up afterwards.

Played around with some other bits and pieces,  did some one legged toe press then put the workout to bed.

Complete rest day tomorrow,  new program to sort as well as nutrition for the next few weeks.

Today's feels are that of being hit by a truck! Sciatic nerve playing up on the left side, periformis is tight as f*ck, right knee is aching. Luckily no legs until Wednesday at the earliest.

Foam roller and stretching to be done.

Officially a fat bastard!

Haven't trained since doing chest and biceps last tuesday.

Been in a lot of pain and discomfort since losing an argument with the leg press last sunday (should've stuck to squats), went to engage the cradle after my last rep on my last set, it didn't. Down came the weight! Folded me up and I've had lower back/hip issues since. Felt ok to train on Tuesday,  which it was, but then we had 2 full on restraints that night and 1 every shift since.

Lots of foam rolling, stretching, bit of massage and lots of drugs = almost right today.

Training tomorrow. 

In the mean time I'm planning out my nutrition for the next 10 weeks. Plan is a cut. Been eating between 2700-3000 calories a day fairly clean.

Initially going to aim for 2500 a day and adjust as I go. Possibly going to carb cycle.

Adjusting training to incorporate more cardio.

When I can stand up straight again I intend to post a couple of pics.

125g brown rice cup 

150g of chicken 

1.5 cups of stir fry vegetables. 

 

4 whole eggs

100ml of whole milk 

100g of ham

Half a red capsicum 

 

Also had a scoop of Kapow pre workout with a serve of creatine, taurine and beta alanine. 

Scoop of BCAA intra workout.

Before bed will be a scoop of Refuge and a serve of glutamine. 

Better not forget my multivitamin, turmeric and joint support first thing in the morning. 

Haven't done the macros for all this as yet, not sure I want to!

Cardio tomorrow and work in the afternoon.  Food will be better and more consistent with my plans.

This was on the menu today.

Wee cardio session on the stairmaster, 30 minutes total. Started at level 10 for what it's worth, bumped it up on 3 occasions to level 13 for a duration of 1 minute. Basically slow and steady though, followed by cable crunch 4x12.

Decline flyes 3x12

Low cable crossover 3x12

Hammer curl 4x12 

This was followed by 5 hours of an 8 hour shift spent restraining someone that was determined do themselves and others as much harm as possible. 

Missed a meal, but that's life.

Today was legs.

Smith machine squat (narrow stance)

2x15, 3x10 

Standing leg curl 4x8 superset with DB romanian deads 4x12

The only leg curl machine I  the gym was broken so it was back to improvising on the leg extension. 

Gym is under new ownership so hopefully they'll pull finger and address a few things that the previous owners have let slide.
