Week 1, Day 1 - Work capacity / GPP
So the UK went into quarantine the day after my last workout. Training had been going in a good direction and I was looking forward to competing in June, but I suppose that is life. Competition is off and gyms likely to be closed for the next 2-3 months.
I have bought a rickety pull-up/dip station for my room. No access to any home gyms. When I took my 6-8 months off due to my physical health last year I put on about 6-8kg of bodyfat that I am still hanging onto. Going to take this is an opportunity to focus on my GPP/fitness and lean up. This would have been pretty much my plan in June anyway, so don't think it'll make much difference in the long term.

Cardio
2 hours road cycle - Not sure of HR/distance
Notes
Had been feeling pretty depressed the last few days with everything going on. As I didn't have my chin bar yet decided to just get some good cardio in.

Notes
Chin station arrived late Wednesday. Took a little while to assemble it and I had work in the evening (I am still going to work as I work in a residential home for people with learning disability).
It's harder to do chins/dips on the rack as it's pretty damn unstable.
Plan is to increase volume / decrease training times building up to a 4 week peak, then repeat. I'm praying the gym will be open again in some capacity after 8 weeks.
