Body is really feeling the fatigue now, knocking out as soon as head hits the pillow and wanting more sleep than normal. In addition appetite in the mornings is definitely more noticeable than usually.

Felt sore whilst swimming yesterday so was going to take it easier today and stick to body weight exercises but the gym was rammed so ended up doing a mix of whatever I could get my hands on. The bent over rows felt like death and really struggled to recover for each set.

First session back from the holiday where the hotel gym had a small amount of equipment with dumbells which only went up to 25kg.

Lunch session yesterday:

Kept the weights conservative whilst working back into the swing of things, squats were the most punishing with everything very tight after minimal amounts of mobilising done during time off, DOMs are very much DOMs today :/

Will be keeping up with the lunch sessions with bigger sessions at the weekend as this fits my schedule for the upcoming months.

Fasted session:
The 120 deads felt good so thought to try a few reps at 130 which went up pretty damn well, rows really killed me though!
