I had a great workout yesterday, I mean I was really excited to find out that I was not losing strength as much as I had thought. My body has definitely made the adjustment to burning fat again.
Flat Bench - 185x12, 255x9 >205x8>135x7 - I was really impressed here, I was putting the weights one for 245 and mistakenly put 255 on decided to go with it. I hadn't pressed that in a bit and was a little worried that in my dieted state I may only get 4-5. I was happy to see 9 solid reps, I could hasve squeezed out a tenth but it wasn't worth risking my form.
HS Dorian Rows - 90x12, 135x12>90x10>45x12 - Moved up a bit on both of these sets, pulls felt really good.
HS MPS Military Press - 90x12, 120x15>100x4>70x4 - These were on the plate loaded hammer strength felt good but
EZ Bar Curl - 70x12, 90x10>75x4>45x6 - Man these were some work, the dorians already beat the biceps up pretty good.
Cable Triceps Extension - 90x12, 130x18>120x6>100x5 - I got a good pump but the weight was not heavy enough. I think we will trade these out for some triceps press downs in the seated dip machine or weighted dips.
Squats - 135x12, 185x12, 225x12, 255x12,
Widow Maker 225x20 - I was really happy here my leg did not hurt too much and it is not hurting today. So the tendon on the back of my knee seems to be getting better.
Romanian Dead Lifts - 185x12, 225x12, 235x12 - Man I lost my versa grips and forgot how much I dislike the alternated grip. I am going to be getting a replacement set as soon.
Weight yesterday was 208 on one scale and 209 on the other. I will weigh in tomorrow morning to get a true 1 week weigh in and waist measurement. I will also take some pics tomorrow and, I finally found my calipers so I will take a quick reading before eating or drinking anything tomorrow.
I need to find a big pan like that... after going to Mongoalian Grill earlier this week I really wish I had a flat top skillet table or whatever the hell you call what they have... like 5 feet across of pure stir fry goodness
Yeah those are nice. I just recently got an electric griddle. Make whole wheatpancakes every Sunday for the fam. Even made them today just didn't partake.
Well.. My wishes for you to get the result you are expecting...
Thanks! I am already seeing a lot of improvement.
Damn Straight! Even if the diet doesn't get me I hope it has already given me exactly what I needed for a bit. It has given me resolve. following this diet right now is like butter for me. The normal dietary distractions are not a problem. I have the switch engaged now and that feels really good.
