Thanks mate.

Little pic time.  Here's me just after holiday out with the VIP.  Weight is about 15st 10lb at the min (same as pic).

Must invoke a flex whilst not looking like flexing and juggling a smile

It's took me a while to perfect what you've wrote mate but well worth it.  I'm nearly crushing my glass of vodka diet coke right there hahahaha.

Got up this morning and it took me a good 5 mins due to my legs still being sore from sunday! After walking the dog they've eased off a little but I'm still not looking forward to getting up from my chair!

Will be training chest and bi's at lunch time and will pop session up after.

Chest and Bi's

Pec deck 85kg x 12,12,12 (up reps)
Smith machine Incline press 70kg x 10,10, 80kg x 8, 40kg x failure (same as last week)
Flat DB press 30kg x 8,8,8 (up 5kg)
Dips - BW x 8,7,6 (up reps)

Seated incline DB curl 17.5kg x 8,8,8 (up 2.5kg)
Standing BB curl - 30kg x 10,10,10 (same)
30’s - with 25kg on cable

Still got a massive ego thing about the p1ss poor weights I'm lifting. Getting really hung up about it but gotta chill out. I can only lift what my muscles are capable of but it's mighty frustrating!! Although progress has been made so I really should put my dummy back in.

Did you give it your all last week? are you 100% sure you shed blood sweat and tears when you did this very workout lastime around? If you can answer with a confident "Yes", then you are progressing and at fine rate at that.  You cannot ignore the progress.

To quote my old journal:

What time is it? The oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. "What time?" they would ask. "Well, of course, it's now. The time is now. What else is there?"

That's all that matters mate. I am in a similar position, just finished a strength routine and started carb cycling to try and lose podge and my strength is well down. I know what you mean about getting frustrated as this happens to me (initially) but as long as you are pushing yourself to the limit (of your current ability) then you are making progress.

Ps. Looking good in the pic mate - pretty trim for 15st 10lb me thinks.

Thanks tuffy, only place I hold a lot of fat is the lower part of my stomach.  Drives me insane!!

Woke up with DOMS in chest and still have sore legs from sunday. Due to not getting out of my bed on time I skipped my usual dog walk and will be doing it tonight instead.

Still enjoying eating a decent amount of food, just not liking the getting fat bit.

For some unknown reason my appetite has exploded today. All I want to do is eat. I'm 2 meals down but am craving the other 2 I have here on my desk!

Yep, got some there too mate, viva la muffin tops!!!

Once again got in last night and couldn't figure if I was more hungry or tired! I'm kinda getting used to the feeling now and slightly enjoying it. Dropped off about 10pm last night, woke a couple of times but didn't stir til 630 this morning.
Also decided to get weighed today. After 2 weeks of eating crap while on holiday, 2 weeks of eating loads after holiday and 2 weeks of PScarbs plan, I've put on a grand total of 0lb's! I was 220lb's when I got back from holiday and was dead on that this morning. So pretty happy about this, my body might have finally learnt how to use food. Granted I'm still a little bloated and carrying way too much fat but it's a necessary evil for the time being and I'm pretty cool with it. Ok a little bit of the face on comes every now and then but hey, sh1t happens.

Will be training Back/Rear delts and traps and calf’s at lunch time

Diet will be a little hit and miss tomorrow as it's my brother's wedding. I'm fighting the temptation the get him leathered tonight and put him on a train somewhere too :D

Had one of those fantastic sessions last night where I am weak as p!ss. 15kg down on incline bench It does drive you mad at the time doesn't it? All I keep thinking is if I am losing fat, it is worth it.

Good times.
Good luck to your brother and just kick back and enjoy the wedding, one day wont do any damage.
Plus you can dance it off with a striptease and guns-show at the reception

@Tuffy, it's a very frustrating feeling indeed mate, but it has to be dealt with.

@Jedi, I'll be getting quite tipsy tomorrow, but the clothes will be staying on this time.  But if there is a pole there that last line stands for nothing!!

Back/Rear delts and traps and calf’s:
Wide grip pull downs - Pg15 x8,8,7, Pg12xfailure (up weight)
Bent over BB row - 80kgx8,8,8,8 (up 10kg)
Partial dead lifts - 110kgx8,8,8,8 (far better form!)
Close grip pull downs – Pg12x12,10,10 (same)

Bent over DB raise - 15kgx8,8,8,8 (up 2.5kg)
Reverse peck deck - 45kgx10,10,10 (up 5kg)
Seated DB shrugs - 30kgx10,10,10,10,10,10 (up reps)

Standing Calf raise Pg14x20,20,20,20,20 (same)

Don't feel too bad today about wimpy weight on DL's as form was bang on and only doing it 2/3's of the way up really hits the spot. The weight will come in time. Happy with the rest of the session but am totally pooped right now!!

So today is the day I watch my kid brother get married. Went out for a few drinks last night and did a bit of cardio this morning to clear the head.
No training today as it's a rest day and I intend to enjoy every second of the day.
Also here's a pic to show how I'm going, didn't want to post a pic up but I think this is the main point of a journal and best way to get feed back. So here you go folks
