Did a "recovery style" workout on my pullups because I'm gunning to increase my reps for the pull up challenge I'm participating in, I thought they could do with a softer workout after the massive session I had a few days ago.

Alright so at the moment for whatever reason I just CAN NOT stick to an eating plan. As such my "diet" has been all over the place for the past week and a half but my lifting has been absolutely A+ so I've just decided to go with it. About the only thing my current meal plan has in common with the same time last year is a morning bullet proof coffee and Intermittent Fasting, currently eating around 3500 cals per day and IDGAF about smashing carbs.

I'm not going to lie my rig is no where near as polished as it was this time last year but I'm really enjoying a "bulking" diet and just lifting heavy ass weights.

Took some video footage of me squatting and realised I wasn't getting anywhere near deep enough. Today was my first session where I dialed the weight back 10kg to 100kg and took it quite a bit deeper, only managed 3 reps but I was kidding myself with my previous efforts.

150kg deadlift for 3 reps though, felt good

From now on I'm switching up to a more traditional split of

Legs and Delts
Back and Bis
Pecs and Tris

This is primarily because someone (correctly) pointed out to me that my previous split wasn't giving my shoulders or triceps any rest at all as they were employed on every single workout day. Then when I looked back at my training results I definitely felt like it limited my progress.

Just completed a 4km run burning 417 calories. Going to back that up with a 24 hour fast, fasted cardio is the ultimate fat burning weapon. Have a look at my 24 hour fast for fat loss guide here http://ow.ly/XCIrt
