truss noticed this when i try a new exercise or come back after a break tekk completely leaves me when trying to go for the weights i was on or think i should be on based on similar moves.
rather lift low and if i can complete a set with perfect form, go up a weight.... then risk injury and embarrassment of shocking tekk(which a lot of people have)
So frustrating at times. Prepped well, expecting to push on a bit and end up just managing to make last weeks lifts.
4 weeks till Egypt, still a way from where I want to be, doubt I'll make it. Just need to channel the frustration into workrate and keep on it until Christmas.

pushing on from last week is improving your strength, not your size
if you want a nice body for holiday, do medium weights with higher reps, take on a decent diet (less carbs) and do evening runs.
you want to rip that muscle tissue so it grows back bigger, so instead of doing 100kg on the bench 10 times (example), do 60kg 15-20 reps untill you can barely lift it anymore, then drop down to 40 kg and do a couple sets of failure (reps till you can't do it anymore).. then take all the weight off the bar and rep the standard 20kg and repeat.
a lot of people start low and increase the weight but for me that's more to do with bulking.. if i'm cutting i'll start on a reasonable weight that i can manage 15 reps with, then drop down the weights doing more reps each time.
also with muscle growth it's all about keeping the muscle active throughout your session, so don't take the piss with the rest time, catch a breath, change the weights, sip your drink then bang out another set
Safe. I have been doing bare cardio early morning biking and jogs and have been cutting down on carbs - noticed feeling tired and cardio becoming more difficult. Expect I'll get used to that though.
yeh carbs give you energy that's why you can't cut them out completely, there are different types of carbs and you have to eat the right sort and cut out the bad sort..
good sort are veggys, beans, fruits, brown rice, oat cereal etc
bad sort are white bread, fizzy drinks, white rice etc
if in doubt a quick google search normally does the trick
Last couple days i've changed my routine time to going gym about 8ish instead of going straight after work. The main benefit of this is i've been able to have dinner before i train instead of after. I'm definitely feeling it tgis way round, my sessions have been much better, for me personally i don't even feel it's an effort to get up and go after chilling as i'm motivated.

C/S the form, from the day I walked into the gym i've never looked at anyone and felt embarassed that I couldn't lift as much as someone else.
You don't go to the gym to compete with no one, you go to better yourself.

Although my max is closer to 60kg than 100 lol
