Thank you!

Solid arm workout bro. pumps mustve been insane..!

have you always weighed yourself daily or do you just do that during logs..?

I've never been a big fan of daily weigh ins... it effects my motivation negatively, especially
if my weight does up or stays the same. I prefer weekly weigh ins myself to see the cumulative
effect of a week of hard work..

The pumps were some of the Best/Worst I have ever had, and I love that feeling.

I have weighed my self everyday my whole life, I have log back to the 70's. I have always battled with being over weight and it is something that works for me. I understand it does not for everyone.

This morning was Squats and I thought I might die. I have been trying to lose a few vacation pounds and I was down another pound this morning. Sunday I was around 1500 calories and Monday & Tuesday I was under 1900, this morning after my warm up I went to the squat rack with 5 set of 15 reps in mind, after my second set I could tell having been in a caloric deficit for three day was not conclusive to maximum squatting power.

I don't think you gained 3lbs in a couple days. My guess is your holding some serious water weight from the MSG

Weight up today after the Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse and two Easter Dinners, complete with Desert.

Oh I agree, Japanese Hibachi soy sauce aka salt, two Easter Dinners Ham...maybe a little salt ? and I'm sure I atr at least One Pound of Desert !!

 

[grinnell27]

Salt affects me so badly... I quite often will weight myself on sat morning (normally my cheat day) then do so again on sunday and 99% of the time there is at least 5+lb of increase.

Takes me about 3 days to drop it with adequate hydration, cardio and diet.

Great work so far.

Nothing worse than back issues! I've used a warming ointment called Tiger Balm (white formula) before starting a lifting session. It helps warm the muscles in preparation for lifts.
