Hey, just returned from leave where I sat around, hungout with my kids, and ate like a man on a mission. I spent my first six months in country getting from a half ok 240, to a nice 250, and cut down to 228. I wasnt extremely happy with my cut. I dropped way too much. People still looked at me as a big guy, I got comments about losing my gut, but I felt weak. I adjusted my diet a bit and changed my workout after losing too much strength faster than I was comfortable with, and that helped a lot. Then I went home and took about 20 days off of all supps and training.
Last night I returned to the gym. I lost a ton of strength and the doms are back. I did chest, and my shoulders were killing me. Today my wrists and shoulders are more sore than my chest, but the pec soreness is coming. I think I'll stick with the workout I left off at at the end of my cut, though the weight is lower, and adjust to a more bulking approach in a few weeks when my muscle memory kicks in.
I'll do my best to keep up with this log on this end, but updates may get less frequent in a few weeks when I get sent out to no man's land again. This is mainly for my benefit, though, so as long as I can keep up with the log on my computer and copy and paste when I can, I'm fine with that. Last night's workout is logged, so I'm not going to repost it here. The routine is a 6 day, one bodypart per day, generally 6 exercises at 3 sets for 10-12 reps, and a full body day on the sixth for a pump and depending on how I feel. I usually do bears on that 6th day. Again, I'll decrease a lot of the volume here in a few weeks.
My diet sucks since going home, and I am trying to suqare that back up as well. Mainly the frequency and amount of quality caloric intake need changing right now.
My rest/sleep needs fixing as well. I'm 8 hours ahead of where I was a few days ago. I have travelled a lot going home and coming back. A lot of sleeping in chairs for a few hours at a time, and just overall a nonexistent sleep routine. I also had the flu for a few days while home, so my body is going through a little bit of stress right now.
