Woke at 240.2 lbs, a bit bloated. Glad to see movement in the right direction. Last week of the hypertrophy phase too. That means deload next week, which I’m hanging for, and then back to accumulation, which I’m also hanging for.

Felt progressively shitter throughout the day, in terms of an incipient migraine. Ended up ditching training in favour of a burger and biscuits along with an icepack on my head. This helped.
It’s deload next week, so I can easily push everything back a day and I didn’t want to push for a new shittest feeling training PR so close to last week.

Woke at 238.9 lbs, some bloating but nothing extreme. No migraine either.

Good that you’re feeling better, although I have to wonder why so many people liked your post about feeling shitty… ?

I don’t ask those kind of questions 
Thank you.

I liked it, because that’s the only response that are available.
I hope it’s received as a kind of sorry to hear, hope you’re getting better soon.

I know that nobody is happy about Mark feeling like crap, but little non-sequiturs like that always amuse me.

Today’s training
Reverse hyper, air squats, planks
Squat, mono
5xbar
5xplate/143 lbs
5x2 plates/231 lbs - belt on. Still breaking it in. This will be the last week of that, it’s already coming good.
2x10x308 lbs - best squats since the meet. Still left me sucking wind though.
Close stance squat (feet two inches closer in)
2x10x308 lbs - I will not miss these. Still belted
Front squat
15x154 lbs
DB split squat
3x12x40 lbs - haven’t missed these
SLDL
3x12x132 lbs - because a plate was ample weight to light my hamstrings up by now.
Axle curl
4x15x40ish lbs - could have added weight. Should have, but too focused on getting the fuck out without another migraine.
All up an hour and a half.
Also, found a reverse hyper in the factory. Turns out one of our showcase guys did a couple of discs so built himself the reverse hyper. Fixed his back, too.

Seems like it has been a while in the high 230’s but no 240 yet ???
How tall are you ??
Yeah, it’s slowed down a bit. Since changing jobs I’ve had to eat even more just to stay around this weight too.
I’m either 173 or 178 cm. I never remember which one, but it’s one of them. Call it 5 9’ish.

177cm is 5 10 so guessing your there abouts.

@simo74 it’s probably 173 cm then
Todays training (just realised I’ve been misusing the apostrophe. The shame!)
Band work, pull-ups (9), hand release push-ups
Bench press
5-8xbar
5xplate
2x10x181 lbs
Wide grip bench press (pointer finger on rings)
2x10x181 lbs
CGBP to a 1-board
15x132 lbs - didn’t set my shoulders properly like a fuckwit
DB floor press
4x15x50 lbs
Close grip incline press
2x12x132 lbs - it was really hard/impossible to actually get the bar to touch my chest. Shit kept getting in the way. Right elbow did NOT like when I got close to my chest either
Bench dips
50 total reps with 10 second rests: 20, 10s
All up an hour and 15 minutes including mobility and stretching I didn’t do yesterday
