Sadly, it looks like NotTheMonkey has gone UNLOS, but I really liked his regular thread so going to keep his seat warm until he comes back.

A safe space to share stories, seek inspiration, compare notes, ask advice or just give yourself a massive shout out, whether losing weight, just keeping fit, training for an event/competition or sport.

So, how did it go? Good, bad, indifferent, it's all work in the bank!

Mine was ok. 2nd week of a 4 week power block, but introducing pauses into the big moves to mix it up a bit and try to and break some plateaus. So not pushing max numbers but aiming for a different stimulus - time will tell!

(And yeah, my gym week starts on a Tuesday, so I realise this is probably a day too late!)

Haven’t set foot in the gym for 10 days

Caught a bloody awful cough from a germ factory that’s disguised as a daughter.

Tomorrow morning is my first day back in.

Manchester(ish).

I'm firing on all cylinders - gym wise.

Entered a competition in March 23, so it's provided the impetus (aka stark fear), that I needed to motivate me.

That's exciting! Can we ask what you're competing in? I'm also considering a masters (I'm so old! Sob.) comp later this year as something to work towards...

I've heard that germ factories often disguise themselves that way! Hope you're feeling better, mate, and today's sesh goes well!

It didn’t happen, it was too hot to sleep, and I won’t go to the gym on 2-3 hrs of restless snoozing. I’ll try again in the morning when it’s cooled down (supposedly).

Went yesterday morning for the first time in over a week (new job, new routine no longer got gym 100metrrs from my desk!), was a bit meh, I was half asleep and knackered so not sure it did me any good physically!
