I think I’m going to make a change to my daily journal on here… I’m going to start with a review of the nutrition and the training… see how ‘good’ it was… for example – nutrition. I have 7 meals a day right now… if I miss a meal, that equates to about 15%. Going by the Precision Nutrition plan, I should be 90% good, over the course of a week.

When it comes to training, I’ll document effort. In percentage just like nutrition. Until I move into the big gym, the training may be less than optimal – for example, today I was training my legs and wasn’t able to to the whole 10, 8, 6 thing because there were insufficient weights to enable me to do it So I did my best, but maintained the 12, 12, 12 structure, which is less than optimal. Does that mean I didn’t put in max effort – no… but it does mean that I could’ve worked differently and harder if I had the equipment that’d enable me to do so.

So here we go:

NUTRITION: 100%

TRAINING: 90%

MEDITATION: 60%
Meditation is awkward right now… my mind’s overtaken with thoughts of the loft, and it struggles to remain clear / mindful. Although, being this way reinforces the need to do meditation!

Yesterday was a good day both for nutrition and training. I expect today and tomorrow to follow the same structure. Thurs will be more interesting because I’m eating out… but then Friday should be back on track. We’ll see how it goes

I’m not sure whether I mentioned this yesterday or not, but strength wise, I’m definitely as strong – or stronger – than I was during my previous gain cycle. I find that surprising, but OK. For example – today I extended 140lbs on the leg extension. Don’t think I’ve ever done that before. And I could’ve pushed it further and harder to be honest.
