Nice job on the upper body work and the back.
That's a solid workout for sure.

Thanks for the tip! I need to commit more to hitting abs. When I'm strapped for time I find it hard to fit them in at the gym. (Or I could be slackMaybe adding some lower back exercises as well.
Also, it doesn't hurt to do some abdominal work on back day. To balance things.
Mine was. My own gym today and back to the local one tomorrowThe holidays are always crazy.
I find that amazing how some places are packed and some places aren't.

Yeah I've done 16/8 a couple of times. I'd be interested in your thoughts on 6am training then waiting till 12pm to eat??Xmas meals looks great
The fasting IF, let’s start with 16/8
Can you do it?
Definitely on the higher side but not hypertensive.This is high but could be one off
Can you add bp numbers to daily log please?
Also start cutting sodium 50%
High blood pressure impacts kidney too
@AE1079 what do you think of his bp?
That’s possible but you can’t time training and fasting due to scheduling?Yeah I've done 16/8 a couple of times. I'd be interested in your thoughts on 6am training then waiting till 12pm to eat??
Just with the kids and so on it's much much easier to train early morning before they're wake up. My main concern is going an additional 5 hours post training fasted? Would this hinder anything? Or are you of the belief that as long as you hit your calorie intake each day you are good to goThat’s possible but you can’t time training and fasting due to scheduling?
Like eat 8 hours after training straight
Depends on the goalsJust with the kids and so on it's much much easier to train early morning before they're wake up. My main concern is going an additional 5 hours post training fasted? Would this hinder anything? Or are you of the belief that as long as you hit your calorie intake each day you are good to go
I think In the back of my mind I don't want to lose any gains with such a long fast post workout. Might try and move my training session around to a more appropriate time to fit in with 16/8Depends on the goalsI think you’re really cutting well so post training fasting won’t be an issue
But if you plan to recomp we will need food pwo
