Weight loss back on track after a little speed bump during my holidays
0bad0e23da6af07852fef6bad798e687.jpg
 
You’re been trying to lose for ages, right?
I did that q1 challenge on here and lost nearly 10kg. Since then my motivation for diet and exercise went through a bit of a lull because I had some seriously stressful professional and personal stuff going on.

However I'm back on the up and up and I want to get some aesthetics back before I head home for xmas :)

Was a little worried last night that my glutes were too tight for a big legs session today (tight glutes give me unbearable pain in my knees). I gave them a pretty good stretch last night but during my warm up I still got stabbing pain in my right knee. Did some more stretching though and they came good did plenty of 20kg front and back Squats as warm up to make sure everything was sweet. All came together really well, I'm particularly happy with the 3 sets of deadlifts which were an awesome way to finish off the session.
