I've been out the gym for a few months now... Really need to get back in and lock in for the summer.

Any advice on getting back into it after a few months off?

I stopped because I cycle 25 miles a day for work (there and back), so I didn't want to overtax myself.

I was training for a squat, bench and deadlift (big for me anyway).

At my current job I am lifting and I do feel still quite strong... Just need to get back into it without taxing my body too much for the commute.

I'm getting a motorbike within the next couple months so I can use that on my gym days.

It's hit and miss going with someone. More often than not they act as a distraction that just slows the workout down

Yeah I get you. I've always had a pretty decent physique to be fair.

It's just lately I'm struggling to find a balance between cycling, mountain biking and the gym.

Like I cycle 120 miles a week just commuting (not e bike).

If I start squatting I'm not sure if my legs will be able to take it. I've thought about doing legs and back on a Thursday or Friday though.

I raised the wine bottle to the wine glass and filed it up to the rim.

Does that count as a workout…

Here’s a question; is it normal to experience fatigue more on one side after a couple of heavy sets?

"Here’s a question; is it normal to experience fatigue more on one side after a couple of heavy sets? "

Usually a sign of imbalance. One side is overcompensating for the weaker side.

Been doing PPL for years it's definitely my favourite version, did do a core routine for 2 months to improve my deadlift but now back on PPL again.

When I feel like my body for used to it I go back to core for a month or two and repeat

I haven't decided yet. I might go in the evening and roll around the mats. Something different to picking up heavy stuff. Mobility exercises and a bit of cardio.

30 miles on the bike this morning, worked up a new gym programme yesterday, just two strength sessions a week to tide me over during the more fun summer Tri season before gym takes back over over winter.

It was my 2nd push day of the week today. Front squats, incline bench etc.

I'm in between programmes at the moment so had a month of free-styling as had to work around some travel but new 3 month block starts next week...

I've just finished my leg day. I'm doing a phase of high rep, moderate intensity type training so a lot 3x15 and 3x20 exercises which are pretty brutal when it comes to front squats, RDLs, and walking lunges 🫣

De-loads are something I struggle with, I planned one for this week but the heavy lifts are just more appealing, I know my joints will thank me, but my brain just goes ‘BUT THE GAINS!!!!’

Honestly, a reload week will probably do more for your gains than constant high intensity training. It's gives you a chance to recover more while still keeping active. I plan these weeks into my routine and always feel better off for it!

I did say it was ‘planned’ 🤣 I needed the pain of a heavy lift today, deadlifts…. Don’t need to do them, and know they’re not really ‘useful’ but hey, sometimes the brain needs the stress of a heavy lift
