Well its been about 8 months since I last updated my journal, so I thought its about time I bore you all with what ive been doing.
When I last updated I was on the SS and had made some PR's after I last posted I made further PR's.
Soon after that I sold my house and also my gym, my gym at the time was a 14'x10' metal shed in my garden as I didnt need it anymore I sold it a few weeks before I moved, so that was my training out the window for a bit.
After I moved into my new house I didnt train for a while because of sorting out this that and the other, and soon after moving I had a family holiday, during this time I trained a bit but not seriously until I came back from holiday.
After my holiday I resumed my training in my new gym which is now a 21'ft by 18'ft double walled, insulated wooden shed, with lights wall heater, and windows
(I still need to get power connected which will be soon)
I started working my way back up on the SS but this time on a calorie deficiet (as it was summer) on the anabolic diet.
I nearly made my previous PR's but not quite, I probably would have done with more calories, im now eating more.

I have been a bit ill this week and have had a massive workload so havent trained but ill resume next week.
Ill probably move the rows to monday and do them 5x5, move the chins to wednesday and do 3x5.
I think its time to add some lower back/abs work in, I havent got a roman chair (am seriously thinking about getting one) so for know ill probably do some pullthroughs on monday and some standing ab pulldowns on wednesday.
Also I have been doing shoulder prehab work at the end of wednesdays workout with cuban press 2x8, L lateral raise 2x10, and external rotations 2x12, which ill continue with
