Lifting:

I've been lifting faithfully for the last five weeks, and although I've added a lot of weight to my lifts, I'm hitting - not plateaus, but points where I'm struggling to get 5 reps on a 2.5kg increment. So I'm incrementing by 1kg, or doing 3 reps, or alternating sets at higher and lower weight. I'm not NOT making gainz. I'd just like more and faster.

I might need to start tracking protein intake again. Or start snacking on raw tofu instead of biscuits.

My body is obviously recomposing due to being on testosterone now, but my body impedance scanner reckons I'm losing muscle mass while my weight increases.

This may be a hormonal anomaly (do I need to switch measuring sex already?) But I suppose macronutrient tracking wouldn't hurt.

Music:

Yes, it's very audibly Jesper Strömblad doing that thing he does on guitar, Stanne on unclean gothic metal philosophy, not much new ground is pushed.

But there's vast pleasure to be had in masters of their craft making music that they so obviously find fun.

I like the new album. It's elegant and pushes the right buttons.
