Over 200g anyway. Around 250g I'd say.

I've been taking it easy this week because of my shoulder, otherwise I'd also get in croissants covered in nutella and doughnuts.

Weighed in at just under 67kg in the gym today. So I'm up from last week, and I'm leaner than before.

My right one is just jaffed at the moment, lifting it above my head just hurts, hoping to see a local physio as it's been nearly two weeks with pain now...Bad enough with my back giving me grief :p

Got told not to do anything involving my shoulder until my physio can have a look at it on Wednesday.

Which is kind of okay, as I have legs I can do tomorrow.
Although I'll be cutting out carbs until I can properly train again, no point in carb loading for days where I can just do some core work. For leg days I'll still load though.

I have to say I did like the TRX presses. Feet were on the ground and I leaned forward and did my reps like I would a dumbbell chest press, rotating inwards on the way up like doing a fly.

Tough buggers, and they really work on your stability. Wasn't bad on the shoulder, but as soon as I tried some normal dumbbell work it just didn't want any of it.

Caffeine does **** all for me it seems, all ready use to it.

Also low carb since I can't do any proper training with my shoulder and I was not to do anything that involves it until after my physio can poperly examine it.

Yesterday's little CBL day for today's leg training. With my shoulder I'm not too upset about not being able to train much, since I have so much final project and research work that needs to be in this week.

Mr-White, on the note of the Alpha Men tablets. Can't say they've affected my sleep really, the OAKG is obviously helping there as well.

I find that stress and a high work load for academia is far worse for me sleep. Not nice spending 4-5 hours a night tossing and turning because your brain won't stop over-thinking things.
