Accidentally did deficit DL since I used the bench press plates which don't get quite as big in my gym.

Welcome. May you find successful ways of getting around the oddball plates. If you keep up with the plan you gain strength and body weight.

[Gibby]

Thanks Carson.

After a lot of reading and listening I've decided the SSLP (or as close to it as my gym allows) is the way I want to lift for the foreseeable future. My only goal right now is to try and be consistent.

Well a storm hitting northern UK rudely interrupted my training the very next day after my last log. Followed by travelling for work last week did some exercise in the house (Push Ups/DB Squats) but I feel like I just got tired not stronger.

I am doing my SSLP in a commercial gym too, looking forward to seeing the gains in strength you make

[Gibby]

Hopefully my progress can inspire you, or at least my lack of progress can inspire you (and me) to find real gyms!

Got in tonight after travelling and training with work from 6am-8pm

I did SSLP in a commercial gym (FYI it is a Nuffield, as I note you are in the UK). Two to three months and I finished LP and moved on. Still training in a commercial gym with bosuball pushups with other silly bullshit around me. The hardest bit is keeping your head down and ignoring the silly bullshit being performed and supposedly taught by personal trainers. My wife also trains in a Nuffield with the same bullshit.

[Gibby]

Yeah since its quite local I often see friends there too who want to Workout together and can't understand me turning down a lunge-off across the gym, who can Leg Press 100 reps fastest competition etc. Which do sound fun but while I'm at this stage I'm sticking to the main lifts only to stay away from DOMs.

Had little to no time yesterday so managed to fit this in in about 10-15 mins tops
