The sumo pulls was a huge PR for me. Never pulled over 390, and I pulled 405 for a triple! Although, I did have to tape my ring finger at the base right where my finger meets the palm (not where standard calluses form but on the actual finger lol) that dude started to tear :/

Calories are still 1688
Cho- 150g
Pro-155g
Fat- 52g

Friday's cheat (yes I have it planned out already )

10 or more salmon nigiri
1/2-3/4 box of cereal (maybe a pint of Icecream instead, haven't 100% decided on this)

Next week, my carbs are dropping to 140g :/

Be easy, God bless.

Right now my life is a cheat meal lol. Been trying to keep it legit this week because I know this weekend out of town is going to put a lb on me, so it's been brown rice, veggies & greens, lean meats, oats, egg whites. The crazy part is I realized it's tough for me to go 3 days without a fast food meal, or a frozen pizza, or going to dinner, or some bs. I eat 75% bro foods and 25% trash lol

Dang really? My pallet craves bro foods 90% of the time, well.. Until Friday rolls around. For the past month, everyday for lunch I've been eating:

3/4c couscous or basmati
150g chicken
Diced green and red peppers with onion
50g low fat sauce

Breakfast is usually avocado + egg white and some sort of grain.

Dinner may be a protein cake or protein dessert. Will cap my night with some bro meal before bed.

Over the last year or two, Ive been better about dieting. Can cheat through the week but a small meal, no need to go over board. Sub a meal with the cheat, and clean up your other meals.

Anyhow, on tap for tomorrow is;
Pause squat
Foam press
Hip thrusters
Tire flips (caloric expenditure aka cardio )

That's the thing - I eat 6-7 times/day, for over 3k calories certainly. So it doesn't hold me back to have, say, KFC for one meal in 14. But when you lay it out you realize, "Holy crap I eat 5 questionable meals/wk for sure" lol

Today went surprisingly well. With the weight cut my bench is just digressing . My squat is hanging in there and my deads have increased a little. My right piriformis and lliopsoas are uber tight. Any rec to do some self MFR work there?

I got nothing specific but if you're tight on the piriformis get on the lacrosse ball and it'll help open the hip up some easier

I had to skip the gym today from exhaustion - sleep was full of weird dreams, woke up several times, just feel like a zombie. Also over-reached on my deadlift yesterday since I'm 3wks out, and it beat me up pretty hard.

You have to train to maintain/improve, but only if you can do so at an appropriate level. If it's a joke of a performance it's a waste of time. Get some rest, brother.

Still weighing the same. Training has been decent, I've got to remember since I've lost weight my leverages have changed right nowI can't move the same weight I did when I was heavier (10+ lbs heavier)

I'm eyeballing meets for USAPL, ADFPF and an APA meet. It'll have to be a late September meet or anytime after that... Only goal I have is to total 1200 @148. The reversal from this cut couldn't come quicker lol

Tonight's cheat was a NY style pizza joint the pregnant wife wanted. And of course since it's the celebrated "national" doughnut day, I had to grab six doughnuts
