This is going to be such a good log for other new mums. The honesty about it being humbling but joyful is so relatable. Cheering you on - update us often.

I once tried keto lifting. Worst two weeks of training in my life

Tony, are you saying the post-workout anabolic window is a myth?

I’m opposite. I eat lighter before training, then big carb meal after for recovery. Rice + chicken post-lift is my jam.

Meanwhile powerlifters argue “parallel is enough.” Different sports = different standards.

Tony, what’s your take on “butt wink”?

I go slightly below parallel. ATG feels sketchy on my knees if I’m using heavier weights. Depth depends on body type and mobility.

I just realized… my whole living room is my “gym” now.

Tony, do you rest between rounds?

Love that, Dan. I do:

Bulgarian split squats (using my couch)

Pike push-ups

Glute bridges
I also keep a yoga mat rolled under my bed. Zero excuses.
