I may have to increase carbs (or add fibre as a supplement) as currently not done a number 2 in 6 days and the last bowel movement was quite a bad case of diarrhea (last Thursday night on holiday) and before that I was a bit constipated for about 4 or 5 days (couple of small movements) following 10 days of carbs generally below 80 g per day, looking at records prior to my holiday fibre was only about 15-20 g per day so that could have caused the constipation but since holiday fibre has been slightly better at 20-25 g per day but not at my norm of 30+.

I know low carb diets can cause constipation but would it be after 10 days or so?

2.5kg increments for shrugs seems quite low (<2%) Have you thought of, or tried doing, one large Myo-rep set for these?
Also, I have no idea how you can do so many high-rep sets of chins? Darned impressive.

I would generally agree with that statement but I am at pretty much max loads to achieve 100 reps in 4 sets so not much scope for larger increases, could do Myo reps but my elbows would probably flare up again without large enough breaks between sets.

Also, I have no idea how you can do so many high-rep sets of chins? Darned impressive.

One advantage of being lighter in body weight, do tend to struggle once I have enough weight on belt to get 10 reps or less!!
