Not sure whether to train legs tonight a got a tweak in back on Saturday during activation set but it was ok to train legs again on Monday, however giving me a little bit of pain on waking this morning. Will trigger point roll back when I get in from work and if that releases it then I will train. I have trained 23 days in a row (I think) so may need to rest up a bit.

Decided not to train tonight as after trigger point rolling my back it hurt even more, might drop front squats in favour of barbell hack squats or may just alternate them to give back a rest.

Average Weight - 167.7lbs / 76.067kgs - down 0.3lbs / 0.136kg

Average Weight was calculated over the last 7 days - 167.8 / 167.8 / 167.8 / 168.2 / 167.6 / 167.4 / 167.4 = 167.71

Average daily calorie intake based on last weeks body weight (168.0 lbs)

Nett (after cardio) 2,174 (x12.94)
Gross (before cardio) 2,374 (x14.13)

Nett target was 2,184 kcals (body weight x13)


Cardio - for consistency anything over 35,000 steps in a week will be logged as cardio, for every step over that figure 0.05 kcals will be deducted as cardio (this is assuming 2000 steps = 1 mile of walking and 100 kcals burned), should I do any running or cycling this will be logged separately - this week was 27,968 steps over

Average daily macros (c/p/f are from food only)

carbs @ 50.96% (302.40g)
protein @ 33.10% (196.40g)
fats @ 15.95% (42.06g)
alcohol @ 0%


Goal for upcoming week - week 4 of a 4-6 week cut (aim to lose 7 lbs in total, 172 to 165), target is to lose 1 to 1.5lbs this week so nett caloric target will be 2,181 (body weight in lbs x13), will aim to eat 2,300kcals (x13.7) and 7,380 steps per day (daily average) to compensate increased calories over nett goal of x13 plus the additional steps required to accommodate the alcohol that will be consumed on this Fridays lads night out.
 
Will be changing things in my routine, will be staying with myo reps however where I have been doing one exercise per body part 3 x per week with the first day of each body part being activation set plus 1 myo reps (Days 1 and 2), 2nd day (Days 3 and 4) being 3 myo rep sets and finally (Days 5 to 7) 5 myo rep sets. I will now do an A & B Routine and two training sessions per week per body part with all sessions doing an activation set plus 5 myo rep sets reducing myo rep sets as and when my body tells me.

Previously I was doing

Days 1 and 3 - Front Squats, RDL, Calf Raise, BB Face Pulls, BB Upright Rows
Days 2 and 4 - Flat Bench, BB Row, Rear Shrugs, EZ Curls, CG Bench
Day 5 - Front Squats, RDL, Calf Raise
Day 6 - BB Row, Rear Shrugs, EZ Curls
Day 7 - Flat Bench, BB Face Pulls, CG Bench, BB Upright Rows

I will be changing it to the following

Day 1 Routine A - BB Row, BB Rear Shrugs , EZ Curls
Day 2 Routine A - Front Squat, RDL, BB Standing Calf Raise
Day 3 Routine A - BB Flat Bench, BB Face Pull, BB CG Bench, BB Upright Row
Day 4 Routine B - BB Row (or narrow grip pull ups), BB Front Shrugs, EZ Hammer Curls
Day 5 Routine B - BB Hack Squats, RDL, BB Standing Calf Raise
Day 6 Routine B - BB Incline Bench, BB Face Pull, CB Bench, BB Upright Row
Rest Day - Abs, could happen anywhere during the week primarily to suit events, fatigue etc
