Documenting a few recent changes to the schedule.
Morning gym sessions have been replaced by morning park walks with Aoife. This gives me some great quality time to spend with her before work, as well as starting the day with 6k steps. She's started weaning, so after our morning walk we sit at the kitchen table and have breakfast together. Peanut butter on toast is a current highlight. 👌
Then when 9pm hits and Aoife is long asleep, its time to lift! I'm already finding im stronger lifting late at night, with several PBs recorded already. These strict dumbbell curls are a current favourite in my torso/limbs sessions routine.

I'm generally happy with the current look, but still want some added width on my lats. I'm already prioritising back on both of my Torso days with 3 back exercises on each day, so maybe I need to review exercise selection or increase food intake (or both).

Such a hard balance, trying to stay "in shape" whilst also trying to build muscle. I still struggle with the mental balance between being a normal dad and living a balanced life vs having the "all-in" mentality in terms of wanting to be 'bodybuilder big'. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone, but I know what I mean. 😂
