Been out of action since friday -
Damn Post-M-Syndrome left me feeling like nothing - my busy week just caught up with me I spose - I may train tomorrow if possible - and keep it light .
My C10 is on its way the placebo effect is happening already and I’m looking forward to getting back into action
Still feeling like c*#p - so I thought I might as well run around and feel c#*p - I took it easy , it was good to get some fresh air ( despite pouring rain ) and I felt less guilt 4 at least having trained .
10 mins jog / skip
warm up / drills
2 x 3 x 100m 65-75% walk back rec
10 min Stretch
I was scared to do more than this - barely even got hot - but somethings not quite right so I’ll try and see this as a recovery week . If things don’t pick up soon I’ll go see the doc .
Felt a little better today - I’ve had a couple of electrolyte drinks whihc seem to have helped slightly . I still took it easy tho -

300 abs
Rotator cuffs
Dumbell Bicep / tricep curls 2 x 6 for each
Shoulder press 2 x 6

Finally - a decent run out -
Whatever was wrong with me balked at the prospect of ‘the hill’ so I did -
10 min jog / skip / drills
2 x 3 x 300m hill 2min rec btween reps 10 btween sets ( jog/walk back )

I was pretty knackered after this but feel more confident about attempting a full weeks training next week - although I’ll see how it goes - I seem to have settled into my routine at uni now so should be ok .
Warm up / drills

Felt easier and up to 4 secs faster than last session - getting back into shape - may start max strength phase / acc phase 1 next week
C10 seems to be getting into my system today - took 5 tabs - semi loading I guess just to get it into system quicker . It doesn’t sem to ‘dry’ you out in the same way that powders do -
I can also see I’m gonna have to hold back on volume as creatine does tend to give me the superman feeling while training with a resulting crash after the workout.
Got in late had some grub and a kip then -

Felt pretty good once I got going -
it looks like I’m gonna be a bit mentally drained on fridays / I can’t train til about 8pm / with no easy track access - so I’m gonna make it a weights only day and heaviest day for deads and High pulls
This fits in with my plan nicely and I can give 100% effort for track mon & wed alternating potentation every other week on mondays and deadlifts every other friday - this should stop overload and keep me fresh
I’m gonna try and re-introduce more tempo next week at least twice hopefully 3 x - but this depends on time / energy
I’ve put on 2 kg ( a wacking 77kg now lol ) and I reckon I’m about 10 -12% BF - but this has been down to lack of tempo / comfort eating a little lol
This will be well and truly phased out over the next month or so

Best I’ve felt in ages - cadence seems better and 90 kg bench was controlled - I’m aiming for 110kg by christmas
I’m glad I’ve dropped the aux stuff - many on here suggested dropping it ages back but I was seeing it as repair work - truth is it was just doing more damage - live & learn eh :rolleyes:
I’ll probably only do it in recovery weeks instead of rather than as well as main lifts .
