Updated legs and shoulders workout completed. Somewhat tough! Probably had about 70-80% effort today. It’s the end of an intense week, so really couldn’t encourage more effort than that! But dedication is still there!

I’m excited but also nervous for todays weight in – I hope I’ve lost something. Fingers crossed.

On a sidenote… I’ve started to think about what should come after this cutting phase… and I think I’ll need to do 2-4 weeks of posture correction prior to moving into the mass gain cycle. I think this’ll be a good transition… because it’ll allow me to do a maintenance phase for 2-4 weeks, to make sure I can maintain my goal, and then once somewhat stable with a far improved posture, I can move into developing significant levels of muscle.

I have a book that provides guidance on some good posture exercises, but I’m thinking that that phase would be good supplemented with a trainer… because their insight into that – customized to exactly what I need, would be best. Also – I don’t really know the correct form for those exercises, so having a trainer walk me through them would be beneficial I think. Then, once posture is better… I’ll be able to move back alone for the mass gain – but may still be able to call on the trainer as required to inform the nutrition / training plan, because that’s where I could do with some help.

If I’m lucky, this’ll all happen at Extreme Fitness or the Rogers gym. I don’t think I’ll be ready to do this before I move into my loft… I just won’t lose weight that quickly But that’s fine.

I think this makes sense as a goal. Yes, it pushes the mass gain further away, but I’m good with that… posture will be massively more valuable than just jumping from cutting to gaining, with no maintenance in the middle.
