A lesson I learnt came from a fitness guy I watched. He said, missing out one day happens. Shit happens. Missing out 2 days is a choice.

I couldn't go out yesterday cause a storm came through. So I did 2 times what I normally do. I don't know if the effects will pan out, but at least I can say I did not slouch. I am ~3lbs away from my desired weight.

Yeah, I've learned that if I miss a day due to life getting in the way, I just take the L and move on. I tried moving my workouts around to fit everything in the remaining time, but it often gets complicated and messes up the rest of the week.

Also, one of the advantages of full body workouts is that it's less of a problem if you miss a session.

    I do the same nowadays. FB every other day (or whenever I can) is better than a split you can't make. And the main goal for mr is to live and have fun and my body supports that livestyle. Not the other way round.

    Yeah that's a rather good approach and 3 full body days are a lot easier to fit into daily schedule and will be more than enough to grow.

    I just take the L and skip that day, in the long term those one off days make absolutely no difference and if a pattern starts to emerge then that can be played around.
