I've been set back so much over the last year really. So busy with work that I keep hitting weeks when I make it along once, for a short 45 min session. Or I get a good 2 week run, then have work stuff, late night, a family thing, a football game, a gig or something else, putting me back to making it once in about 10 days. Pregnant wife as well so have been heading home instead of gym after work.
But it got to stage where it was pissing me off and a wee bit of weight gain, so have got my focus on again and been getting back to where i was at.
Was on 120kg for squats but dropped to an okay 90 for reps (5 x 10) so in a few weeks should hopefully have strength back up. Bench is a weak point, do 50 or 60 for reps but if I dont have a spotter I struggle to push beyond that.
Anyway up shot is I feel I am back on track as hate that few weeks when you are chasing it. When you're going regularly, diet is good, etc, you feel invincible, like you will never get off this train, then you do and it's shite trying to get back on.
