    Squeezed the Big 3 into one session as busy outside gym in real life. Have been averaging 14k+ steps for the past few weeks with a good few days of 20k+ steps for around 5 days in a row. Not ideal for putting on muscle - but hopefully coming to the end of this phase and will get back to getting stronger.

    Weighed myself leaving gym on gym scales and was 81.5kg fully clothed with shoes/hoodie and fully loaded with 2 litres of full fat milk. Need to get back up to minimum 83kg straight out of bed in bday suit.

    Combined Squat and Bench. Hit top singles of 130kg and 100kg respectively for a change instead of reps. Got a pump on each on the way down.


    Got confused with the DB Bench weights. Haven't done this exercise for a while and wasn't sure if the weights felt really light as they were drop sets after top Bench single... or if I was confusing kgs with lbs. Turns out it was the latter :)

    Basically worked up to a double bodyweight Deadlift single then did a few triple triples on both Squat and Bench. Also did a heap of other bodybuilding assistance... but writing this 1.5 weeks later and cannot remember the specifics. Weighted more of less 80kg in gym shoes and clothes... so probably 78kg bodyweight.

    Did a bodycomposition scan beforehand. Will track progress as I work through the next 10 pack of gym sessions. Also need to refer back to the time I last did bodyfat scans with DEXA about 5 years ago to see how I compare now. Will input the results of the scan here when I find the printout in coming days.

    Bench 90kg 6x3. Felt strong and easy. Nicely warmed up by supersetting with the Unilateral Machine Rows 6x10.


    Did my second body fat scan (after the first one a month ago). Put on 0.9kg of muscle and lost 0.3kg of fat. Net bodymass increase of 0.6kg from 80.8 to 81.4kg. Shows what proper consistent training can do. Thankful to be able to train consistently after much interruptions due to BJJ detour, injuries and travel in the past 6 months.

    Bench 80kg 6x6 felt quite strong.


    Enjoyed Military Press 47.5kg 3x6 afterwards.


    Bench Row is a nice new machine/exercise that I don't think I've ever done before. The bar hangs under a high bench via your arms... but the middle of the bar hangs lower than the place you grip so that bar dosen't hit under Bench when you row towards yourself. Looking forward to going heavier on that.
