I just realized that we went to gym ten times during March but only five times during April, no wonder progress stopped and everything feels heavy.

"YNDTP" warning

Traveling back and forth between Europe and The East Asia hasn't exactly been helpful for consistent training, not to mention the impact of centralized quarantines until late 2022 and occasional gym closures every now and then (national holidays and out of business).

Nevertheless, I have tried to make some gains when things around and health status were supporting it.

Recent lifts, sticking with fives still:
Squat 303 (137.5kg)
Bench 248 (112.5kg)
Press 167.5 (76kg)
DL 353 (160kg)

Body weight is stubbornly around 235lbs, with that I can do close to ten decent chin-ups.

Bench and press are at all time high numbers, squat and DL were slightly better in July (+5 and +15lbs) although I have my doubts if that gym has accurate plates. Need to measure next time when I'll be in hometown again.

Longer term goal is still to reach the sticker numbers before I'll award myself with a pilgrimage to the beautiful Wichita Falls.
