I worked out on my cock muscle earlier with some real heavy sets. The protein I lost in the excitement was replaced with a quick 25g shake

Was meant to be a deadlift day today but had a late night last night and didn’t really eat properly yesterday so wasn’t feeling it and just did light shoulders and arms to make sure I actually got to the gym. Consistency wins!

It was a lower day today. My back still isn't 100% so did some smith-machine squats instead of barbell squats, RDLs, leg extensions, hip abduction, calf raises and hanging leg raises. Then I finished it off with some physio-assigned exercises

Nothing today. The gym I normally go to is closed until Tuesday but might go to the local leisure centre on Monday.

I am dog sitting for a friend this week so have been on 2 walks a day which is much more than I usually do. Going to try and keep up at least 1 walk a sat when I get home, on top of normal gym sessions.

I do some animal flow too. It’s a great warm up but sometimes I want something with less intensity and I found the resistance band exercises for the rotator cuff just wasn’t cutting it.
