Back into it after taking most of last week off. quite nice having a break, gave me a chance to do some other shit. Squats were real tough tonight, would have been pushing to get another set. Good weight on the bar though. DLs were mud, felt sick at the deadlifts, so called it there was going to do 6x3. Felt good to get back into it. Wont be heaps of training this week either as have in laws coming down, still keep things going though, cause one week is easy to get back into it, but 2 weeks is rough

[Realtalk]

Inlaws coming to stay is reason for more training and staying at the gym longer.

Not what I would do personally but sounds like a solid plan bro. Why has your sleep been shit lately - is everything ok?

Just daylight savings/ life. Also not training for a comp makes me go a bit lazy on it and end up staying up a but late. I've re focused now and will be balancing life and gym etc.

So i have been hanging out to train, things been getting in the way. Also realized that my plan of doing less volume etc was dumb, and would be boring. I needed a goal as i have no comps on the horizon. so i want to slowly gain conditioning and lean out a bit. Pretty out of condition from all the low rep shit

Wouldn't it be easier just to get your missus on the pill/injection or tubes tied?

Not really dude. pill is not reliable and super toxic long term, actually fucks my wife up, sex drive, tired etc. tubes tied- full on operation out of action for 6 weeks. the vasectomy I'm gonna be good to go by Monday pretty much. was way way easier than everyone said. more guys should consider

From my perspective a 15min drive to drop the girl off at the local hospital if she fucks up is easier.I can't actually compare the two in terms of experience for which is actually easier as I've never had a vasectomy. Dropping the chick off is pretty easy however. I can understand how it would be different from a female perspective.
