The gym rubber bands keep disappearing and as we are too weak atm to do a lot of chins/dips without any, time to get some online! The guy from the gym "yeah people swipe them..."
Nearly done with a 5 week cycle, fitness is returning, husband has a funky back so his deadlift is going well and then the genetic sciatica kicks in with "lol no" but it is an upwards line.
I am weak still compared to "the past" but I am not doing the whole calorie protein tracking either... perhaps time to get into that again and add 1-2kg to my body weight with "clean" eating as my upper body strength just hasn't recovered. The husband is being fed a chicken breast a day which he does not mind, but I just cannot get him to take protein powder so it is what it is there ;)
Adding a 12" box as we both hate squatting w/o a "where am I" point and since we don't need to compete, deep with a hint is fine. We aren't sitting down like with the box squat.
Our raw squat ain't great, so also doing the leg press machine to hit the muscles a bit more.
