legs remain a strongpoint thanks to prioritising them when I first got into training.

To wit, need new jeans and struggled through several stores today before realising I'll have to either (a) embrace the boot cut life or (b) buy from one of those "jeans for people who squat" brands I see advertised on instagram  :uhhhfacepalm:

not that you asked, but since this is something i struggled with in my 20s, couple suggestions. (NB: my thighs are not as big around as they were 8-10 years ago but they're still pretty big relative to my waist, and my calves are muscular enough that strangers comment on them when i am out and about and wearing shorts. so still in the "hard to find jeans that fit" club.)
  • size up to get the thigh/calf fit you need and find a tailor who can take in the waist. you're limited with jeans by the fact that the butt pockets are external, so if you take the waist in too much they tilt toward each other and look stupid. but even taking an inch or 1.5" off the waist can help you not feel like you're a cartoon character wearing a barrel.
  • gustin straight fit is actually pretty roomy in the thighs, i've found their jeans to be comfy and pretty good quality. and some of their fabrics have a little spandex, which helps even if you're not wearing the jeans very tight. they use a campaign model so sometimes you have to wait a bit for the jeans you want. actually just backed a campaign on there for a pair of light-colored jeans, since i don't have any at the moment.
  • if you want to spend a little more for a bit better quality, naked & famous (canadian brand that sells through a website called tate and yoko, for some reason. what is up with brands calling themselves "x and y," by the way? especially in europe. there's a italian clothing brand called franklin and marshall, which is the name of a small, unremarkable liberal arts college in pennsylvania. what? anyway.) they're expensive but the "easy guy" fit is better than anything else i've tried on, especially once i get the waist taken in a little.
i am resigned to destroying jeans in about three years of 4-5 days/week wear because my thighs rub together and eventually that just wears a hole. but with both gustin and naked and famous, while they last they're comfortable and look good.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

OAC Negatives
BW x 1
+5kg x 1, 1
BW x 1, 1

Good Morning
95kg x 4 sets

Reverse Nordic
+14 x 5 sets + BW drop set

Barbell Row
85 x 5 sets

EZ Bar Curl
27.5 x 5 sets

Neck Curls
+5kg x 3 sets

Lateral Raise Kas Set
7kg x 1 set

Hammer Curl Kas Set
9kg x 1 set

Notes

Kas set is as follows: Do a shortened overload movement until you can't get ~85% full rom, do a lengthened overload movement until failure, do the shortened overload movement again until you can't move the weight any more. So for laterals, it's standing, lying, standing. Curls it's standing, preacher, standing.

Am aware of all these brands, but hadn't looked at them in this recent search. Tym for recommendations.

Basically I need to put in the effort and find a tailor. As you can imagine I need new suits, and typically when I've bought I've gone to nicer shops and they've done a good job, but it would be handy to have someone to go to for general purposes.

Notes

33 sets in 43 minutes  :headbang: Despite low rest and basically every set taken to 9/10 RPE, the "session RPE" was low, guess b/c I'm well fed and not been training a lot.

Feel like since I've not been including squats, I've had some glute atrophy, or at least it's grown relatively less. Will add some glute targetted stuff b/c that's sad to me.

Notes

Ironically finding it much harder to control appetite in this weight gain phase. It's not like I've changed the way I eat -- it's the same basic diet but with more food added on top, rather than like displacing veggies with candy or whatever. In the last year I started a new medication of which a comon side effect is gaining quite a lot of weight. Wasn't an issue in weight loss phase since I knew I was aiming to be hungry or lose weight. In this current phase, it's weird to be aiming for weight gain/stability, but still never feeling full/fully satisfied. Kind of a mind-fuck.
