Tough back & biceps sessions has my back a little sore this morning, a good sore, a I’ve worked hard sore, not an injury sore. Today is legs day for the facelessfitness gym programme and I’m really looking forward to it, I absolutely smashed my legs 6 days ago and looking forward to doing the very same tonight. I was up late typing up day 9 and only got around 4.5 hours sleep so may need to call on a pre workout to get me through this evening, I don’t used pre workouts every time I go to the gym as I feel the effect can plateau. But sometimes when you need a kick it can be really good!

Weights Mood: Good legs workout tonight, need to be mindful of my abilities and make sure that I’m pushing myself every set. A few things were a little easy tonight and I let myself be distracted by other body parts. The workout itself is great, perfectly hitting everywhere I wanted to, just need to be sure I smash it every time.
Need to ensure I’m pushing the weights up every time if I’m not failing before 10 reps, we’re going heavy this week and need to test myself more, overall I’m tired coming out of the gym and I have gotten a good pump on…but did I smash it this time, did I smash every set, every rep? probably not! That’s ok, it can happen, but it’s a gentle reminder that I need to go hard every set, without exception!
