Had another light session. Ate and drank properly.. Again, started to feel weak and a little wierd in there so I called it a day..

Good call. Any history of diabetes in the family?

Good plan. Looks like you hit a couple good sessions without issue.

[JordanK91]

So, I've been hitting a huge number of sub-par sessions within the last few weeks since the seizure.

I got more bloods taken so I'm due back on friday to hopefully have the results.

I'm also trying to do a slight cut which probably isnt helping my strength?
Its nothing too major, just trying to keep calories down and cutting out all the junk.

I was thinking of going lighter for more reps and concentrating on muscle contraction until I feel up to scratch again? Any suggestions?

Sometimes it can hurt, especially if the calories, fat or protein is too low. How many calories are you eating?

Thanks Steve, I think my protein intake may have been too low.

Got tested for it anyway..

So, Im looking at switching things up for a bit of a change.
I'm leaning towards trying a Push/Pull/Legs routine and still training 4-5 times per week. I will get to hit each muscle more frequently than at the minute (once per week).
