In better form this time around with working my legs. Just need to move forward with a positive attitude. However, it may be time to change the routine a little bit. Routine can lead to stagnation if you don't allow to change and take on new challenges. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Decided not to bury my head in the ground and have an ego day at the gym. Focusing on shoulders and arms really does boost my mood, even if my face is currently set to "Resting Bitch Face". #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Going a bit lightweight tonight with the exercises tonight. My body and mind are still a bit out of sorts lately with everything that's happening. This heatwave ain't helping either. However, I'm still in the fight for gains. Just got to keep moving. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Half the battle of training, or anything you want in life, is in your head. Dig deep and keep fighting. You'll push through your barriers eventually. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

To be honest, it's not a bad train ride to Edinburgh.

Still going strong after doing too many pull-ups. More than one set is too many. #gymsky #fitnesssky #goals

I'm still alive. Just really busy at the moment. Still getting the workouts in when I can, though.

As someone who works in the construction industry, I am now jealous of those who are able to bring their dog with them to a dig site. She's just chilling in the sun with them on their lunch break.

It's been a while since I did Leg Presses. I like them, why did I stop them? My knees reminded me. 🤕 Still, 307kg is not bad. Though I am not doing them again. #FitnessSky ##GymSky

Who knew trying to train, find motivation to train, work a job you hate, find a new job, make money, plan an engagement party, plan a wedding, stay hydrated, keep healthy, stay informed with everything that is going on and not end the day bitch slapping someone can be so...exhausting?

Oh crap!! Clearing out some photos again and came across this goldie from nearly 7 years ago!! Time flies. It just.. wow. Me cosplaying as Nathan Drake from Uncharted and one of gaming's favourite thieves. #cosplay #uncharted #sony

Apologies for the lack of updates on the gym. I have been out of the gym the last few days due to the comic convention I was at, and just generally not feeling it. Normal service will resume tomorrow.

I went to a comic convention today, and as per usual, this was the end result. #cosplay #comics

A weird but happy feeling came over me when a young man came up to me in the gym and asked for advice on how to deadlift. I grant you wisdom, young man!! I just hope it was good wisdom. Otherwise, I will have given that kid scoliosis later in life. 😨 #fitnesssky #gymsky

Shoulder workout done. Not my best, but not my worst. Definitely happy that I am consistently getting the workout in. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

So the secret to better squat results is in higher reps. Damn it!! #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

As much as anger can get a bad rap, if it is controlled properly, it can lead to great things. All that negative energy towards whatever is going on in life, use it to make something better. Or as young Vegeta would do, blow up a planet. I got 150kg deadlift now!!! #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals #dbz

21km in 45mins, burning 345kcals. Not bad. Shame I can't undo all that by eating two good doughnuts. Worth it? #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Well, I tried for 150kg (330.7lbs) today, and my entire body just said "naw". Still some new PRs, so I can't complain too much. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

During this evening's training session, I saw something horrendous, so shocking that I could not believe it. I saw a bicep vein appearing on my arm!! It was real!! Shame the lighting was too poor to take a picture. #fitnesssky #gymsky

Another PR hit on Barbell Squats. Hopefully I'll keep hitting more before my spine gives out. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Not a bad time on the bike today. I'll need to do this a lot more if I want to get some of this weight off. #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Sliced up my hand in two places while meal prepping. This is going to make gripping the weights tonight awkward. No matter. I've just got to push through.

Deadlifting was a little better today, at least compared to my last session. Not only that, but there are no problems with my back. None. Absolutely no problems.... 😐 #fitnesssky #gymsky #goals

Today definitely was one of those days where I just wanted to quit my job and live in a RPG. Sadly, that isn't an option, so now I just simmer with contempt for humanity; just like Vegeta. #DBZ

This evening's workout was made better by the song "NO GODS, NO MASTERS" by @machine-head.bsky.social Many of their songs are on my workout playlist and hit me hard in order to make the next set. "Game Over" is a good shout too if I'm in an aggressive mood. #FitnessSky #GymSky #Music #MachineHead

Night ops in Arma 3 are some of the most frustating missions you can have. With NVGs, like in real life, you can barely see anything. Still fun RPing as a Royal Marine Commando. #Gaming #Arma3
