Legs feel dead today. Had a monster leg session involving squats, deadlifts, SLDL's, leg press and Zercher squats yesterday and now I'm incapacitated

No idea really; I only lost 900g and my brother lost nothing
We didn't have our last meal as early as we'd have liked which could be responsible. It's also possible that we just didn't get enough water in on Saturday as it was a bit of hectic day, although if you seen our consumption levels you'd think we were mad. The other potential factor is that our morning bowel movements didn't really occur.
Slightly hilarious contrast to my previous comp when I lost ~4kg without even trying.
Not to worry mate there's always next time. I'm on loads of water myself, although that's down to the pills I'm on.
On my note, I did my first attempt at training today.
I made up a 1litre bottle with Scivation Xtend in it, went walking on the treadmil for 2 hours, 1 hour of that at 7kph.
My back is tight as hell now, going to have a bath with epsom salts and eat loads of chicken wings.
Eating now will also be my second meal of the day, breakfast was at 9am and I've been so busy.
I'm off medication tomorrow and hopefully my foamroller arrives so I can start some physio.
I might also check in at a Back Health clinic for a muscle and nerve scan, along with a massage and see how that goes.

Question! 
If i was to start a job which required me to walk for 8 hours a day, And at a fast pace as the job requires you to hit a quota. I shouldnt need to do any more cardio right? As I'd be walking quickly, 8 hours a day, with 30 minutes for break, factoring in the odd other stop, call it 7 hours a day walking at pace.
If I was to do this + a 3 day split. fat should drop off surely?? Obviously, eating right is a factor, which I do. Freshly cooked meals, Protein, veg, wholegrains. yadayadayada.

I would've thought you'd be properly knackered doing a job like that, so even if you did need to more cardio you probably wouldn't be able to
Problem is I'm working down south from the 1st... Need to find a gym down there or this will all be pointless!
Cheers though
There are gyms in the south you know..... Where will you be working?
Also, 4lb in a week is quite some going, be careful you aren't bloating with water weight or putting too much fat on

Interesting this came up, I'm starting a job that requires walking about 8 miles a day over 3.5 hours, that'd probably cover my cardio right?
Haha i know Morba, I'm fussy though i much prefer local/dungeon gyms than the corporate ones. Working in Eastbourne
I don't drink that much water I'll be honest, nothing out of the ordinary. Fat? Haha, my body hasn't seen a pound if fat since i was born.
I'd love to post a picture but it's embarrassing, i'll do a comparison shot in a few weeks hopefully

Ha true enough, To be honest if I start the job. I'd be tempted to do a fullbody workout twice a week. Rota from what I see, will be sunday night to thursday night. So I'd do a fullbody workout on friday, including legs. And a fullbody work out tuesday, excluding legs(As it would destroy me to be walking 8 hours after a fresh leg workout)
Either that, or a 3 day split, making sure the leg workout drops on the friday
Proper sucks don't it. I went down to about 10st 5lbs after having that.
na..its only fluid probably mostly. Get some food in ya next few days and weight will go back up quickly.

Its not like much of that is gonna be muscle, if any. You'll put it all back on in a few days of eating properly again. I lost over 4kg after a week of food poisoning, actually gave me abs for the first time in a while
Put it all back on in 2 days.

Youd be surprised on the fat fella, it takes rather special genetics to put on 4lb of lean mass in 2 weeks
Do you think that there are only corporate gyms down south?! How odd
Second session completed today, first was legs but todays session will be a test to see if the wrist is up to the task. *fingers crossed*Youd be surprised on the fat fella, it takes rather special genetics to put on 4lb of lean mass in 2 weeks

Well if i am putting on fat i'm not that fussed, I'm trying to eat and eat and eat. Get rid of my visible ribs and I'm happy.
God damn Morba of course not but they aren't easy to find I'm sure
Whereas a DW megagym is !
