Gains. Why have you forsaken me!

Went out on my bike in the real outdoors, yesterday, and felt knackered. 
So, today, with tired legs I went squatting, and did the heaviest triple I have done in ages (3 years?) @ 120kg*3.
It felt heavy, but - most important to me - came up without either too much trouble or form destruction.

Oooh... Long overdue an update.
DEADLIFT: 145*5
SQUAT: 105*10
BROCEPS: Every day (almost)
Decided that - after squatting 105*10 I wasn't going to chance much more weight whilst I am concentrating on cycling, so just volume, amirite?
90*12 hurts quite a lot more than 105*10, weirdly. Probably because the former was for 2 sets, and the later was one set after a brief warmup.
Nice that muscular endurance workouts are close to hypertrophy in terms of rep ranges.

I really suck at updating this...!
Was off for a while due to COVID, then finally got back into a light hypertrophy regime, then changed jobs, had a bit of a mental meltdown and am finally back at it...

I am on a similar journey to you at the moment... Cut, slice and peel.Well hello there
That's because I am a lot heavier than you.
91kg-ish. Will post pics for doughnuts...
Because it is hot outside, figured I might as well have a reason for getting sweaty...
