Aah the pain

Leg DOMS dont hit you immediately. Mine lie in wait for a day or two until one fine morning, you're trying to haul ass out of bed and suddenly your quads go "yeah, i fuckin quit". Nothing to blame but bad form and overloading. A bit of bad form is fine but i stretched it and paid the price. Loaded 4 plates on the leg press without a warmup as well, and ended up with the squash of shame. Good thing that machine had safety guards or my knees might have pierced my lungs. MOST IMPORTANTLY, no one was around to see me fail. Best part of working out on Sundays.

So I guess I officially started off on my push-pull-legs split! Not doing isolation work feel counterproductive but I'm going to trust Rippetoe et al and place my faith in compounds. This of course leaves no space for cardio. Cry me a river.

The last part of the puzzle is diet. Need to amp up the protein, I'm definitely not getting my 150 grams every day, this part needs to fall into place. Seeing the following on my plate in large quantities:

Chicken Breast
Eggs
Skimmed Milk
Lentils
Peanuts

Everything else I've done has managed to fit in my lifestyle without too much fuss, but this will be different. Will have to resume macro and calorie monitoring. Expect some backlash from the missus as well. No one said this was gonna be easy.
