11-19/6/19

As I continue to battle extreme fatigue from life in general (evidenced by my infrequent updates overall), I believe that this is the first week where I’ve changed my nutrition a bit: I’ve started taking protein powder again. And to survive lifting through the Malaccan hot weather during the daytime, I had no choice but to go shirtless. Minimum reps and cutting down a lot on the accessory work was really all I could afford to do especially as I really crammed the sessions to make time for “life”.

24/5 - 2/6/19

Slow to update. Life has been hell, with a lack of time, rest, money, energy. This eventually made me suffer during my 5/3/1 week, which I’ve not updated yet (currently struggling through a deload week). This was the week pre-Raya, and dealing with the troubles associated with my wife’s Caesarean wound breakdown while caring for twin newborns. Not easy at all.

It’s been challenging training while dealing with my wife’s Caesarean wound breakdown and twins and other children and the hot Melaka weather and not deloading. Just being able to get in any kind of work is good.
