Daily Update – Day 30 Bulk (07 October 25)

Ciao guys!

Hope everyone’s doing great and that your week is going well

Today no cycling or weight training — it’s my official rest day, and I’m still enjoying a short vacation in Ticino, Switzerland .

For those who don’t know, Ticino is the only Italian-speaking canton in Switzerland, right on the border with Italy, and the weather here is usually way better than the rest of the country

This morning started with a solid hotel breakfast — scrambled eggs, bacon, a slice of bread, and smoked salmon

Then my wife and I went for a beautiful hike near the Verzasca Valley, one of the most scenic places in the region 🏞


Tomorrow we’re heading back home — I’m planning to wake up early, get a one-hour ride in before breakfast, and then hit the road for the 3h30 drive back

[Ulter]

Ciao guys!

Hope you’re all having a great Sunday. No rest day for me today — since I’ll be away for two days starting tomorrow, I decided to push through and take my rest day on Tuesday instead.

Ciao guys,

Hope everyone’s doing well and that your week is off to a great start!

Sorry I didn’t post much last week — I caught the flu and had four days of fever, so I had to cut back a bit on the cardio. Still managed to get all six weight training sessions done though.

No fasted cardio this morning since I had to go for my blood test on an empty stomach, but we’re back on track now — time to push hard again and give it everything!

Flu recovery didn’t stop progress and six full sessions kept momentum high brother

Training loads look strong so hold pulldown at 90 kg for 3x12 and progress the DB row from 69 to 72 kg next session for 3x10 to 12 but diet can go up in protein

Daily Update – Day 41 Bulk (14 October 25)

Ciao guys,

Hope everyone’s doing great!

I’m slowly getting my strength back after the flu — mornings are still a bit rough, so instead of one long ride today, I split it into two shorter Zwift sessions. Felt better that way and managed to keep the intensity under control.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be adding niacin to my supplement stack since my recent bloodwork showed that my HDL cholesterol is a bit low.

Good session today and smart call splitting the rides to manage fatigue after being sick brother

Niacin should help the HDL move up so keep it consistent with your morning stack but Training and diet are both locked in tight, so lets up some food on protein

@xyle9999 Very nice job on this. The diet looks fantastic. You're mixing up some good protein with some carbs.

Daily Update – Day 42 Bulk (15 October 25)

Ciao guys,

Hope everyone’s doing great and still pushing hard in your training

I’m still not fully back to 100%, so I’m not putting too much pressure on myself to do the full hour of fasted cardio right now. Instead, I’ve been sleeping about 45 minutes longer in the morning and splitting my cardio into two shorter sessions.

This morning I did another FTP test on the bike — result came out at 275 watts, which I’m really happy with. Progress is steady, and that’s a solid improvement for me.

On the lifting side, I’m super pleased too — for the first time, I hit 8 reps at 104 kg on squats

I know that’s not crazy heavy for some of you guys, but personally I’m proud to have reached that milestone. Step by step, getting stronger every week.

Daily Update – Day 41 Bulk (14 October 25)

Ciao guys,

Hope everyone’s doing great!

I’m slowly getting my strength back after the flu — mornings are still a bit rough, so instead of one long ride today, I split it into two shorter Zwift sessions. Felt better that way and managed to keep the intensity under control.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be adding niacin to my supplement stack since my recent bloodwork showed that my HDL cholesterol is a bit low.


CARDIO
did two short structured rides — one focused on anaerobic power and one on recovery and endurance.

Duration: 20:14
Average Power: 137 W

Cadence: 83 rpm avg, 99 rpm max

This one was short and intense — mainly targeting anaerobic capacity and short bursts of power while keeping control of the effort.

NP: 177 W

Sounds like you have some remnants of having the flu. @xyle9999 Always takes a couple weeks to really clean yourself out. Your body still wants to rid itself of the nastiness.

@xyle9999 Bros. You should recover very fast. You likely have very good immune system plus all the cardio. You do make your lungs very strong.
