It's Mid Year Tracking and Accountability time again. As with last couple years since it started, there is more stuff logged down separately but my tabulation of exercises for daily, basics/fillers aka "The Daily Salad" remains.  This year I'm still largely sticking to ~1 hour a day for main daily session except when at the gym which usually last around 2hrs.  Rest of the time is filling in each day with micro-dosing or "greasing the grooves" as usual. Bodyweight and weighted overall still comprising the bulk of workouts at about 80%. Gym weight training, ~10% and running ~10% Didn't change the various Rep Goals much from 2023 because with the addition of gym time and other activities like Yoga,  it's not practical to try and ramp up the numbers just for the sake of "increasing" numbers. Moreover, it's getting harder too, in terms of variations done for these basic exercises or the progressive overloading involved versus last year.  E....

The taxing nature of trying to keep up with running and squatting is apparent. It not only affects the lower body but increases overall fatigue extending to the upper body.  Upper body-- the sudden onset of weakness in Apr leading to a very drastic reduction in dumbbell press during Chest Days is getting a little better but still not back to where I was before. Just couldn't figure this one out as it is not about getting any sharp pain. Just doesn't have the strength to lift more than 25kg on the left side! Overall I wouldn't say its a bad month of training as I finally did a "no training" Murph Challenge   on my 54th birthday. Completed. Just not the best in terms of timing. Reckon I will stick to my current mode of training with more regulated sets/ reps daily rather than going for max reps. Everything observed so far. Recovery and lessened new pains/ injuries + an actual better increase in strength is obvious. Other than occasional "impromptu" self ch...
