    I’m not talking about score; I’m talking about when you know you were “unconscious” but not really resting…as in not restorative. As I said, it’s not physically possible to get more than 5ish...

    Ate closer to maintenance yesterday and slept a better almost 6 hours. Otherwise, down another belt notch! Forgot to log yesterdays workout: TBDL 3 x 3 x 345 TB Shrugs 3 x 6 x 165 Cable Shrugs...

    A quality 5.5 hours is fine; that’s different than a restless 5.5 hours. I don’t have the ability to tack on extra time (meaning when this is happening, my body doesn’t let me).

    Weight: 204.4 Let’s go!!! Losing weight quick now, even though I still eat roughly 2800-3200 every day. Sleep is totally jacked again. Electrolyte thing didn’t work out. Although, it’s not...

    We’ll see how this weekend goes first! Gotta make it through the gauntlet, but the plan for at least the next month is to trim a few more lbs of fat because we’re going on vacation to Huntington...

    Oh hell yeah! I am here for this! You are going to be one strong AND aesthetic mofo at 198! Hell yeah! Kill it man! I know you have this, you have made all of your current progress through...

    💯💯💯💯💯 It was far easier for me to stay leaned up in that 9-12% range for many years than it is to go on a bulk/cut cycle like I have the past 5 years. I had nutrition dialed, output dialed, I...

    This is mainly why I’m considering doing next meet in the 198 class. Not because it will help me get stronger or hit my lifetime strength goals, but rather those ultimately exist in the other...

    Yeah but you could do that in 2 months if you truly had to.

    I have a long way to go 😂 I’m thinking I won’t truly be satisfied until 190, but unlikely to push that far.

    Oh, that wasn’t on purpose. It was a week of going to the ER thinking I had something stuck in my throat, couldn’t sleep, scared to eat, hadn’t worked out in a couple months. No life hack there...

    Yessir! Definitely hydrated, but unsure on level of glycogen storage. Either way, the only time I hit 203 was when I was eating one meal per day for about a week.

    Weight: 205.0 New 5 year low! And slept really good. Went a little extra hard on the electrolytes. Will keep testing this hypothesis.

    Sorry, “felt like trash” was a separate thought. Not enough sleep and felt kind of weak again.

    It’s definitely a solid hit to the hammies; should help build you up to use the GHD eventually. Good work.

    It could have been my wording as well. Basically just saying don't marry yourself to a limitation based on the correlations, unless you really see some repeated, and convincing proof that it is...

    Thanks and I’m with you on everything, but can you say this line differently? Major brain fog today lol

    I definitely think it is right to keep track of these things and see if you can find the reason, just don't commit to the "can't do" to heartily off of a correlation unless it proves itself to...

    Another thing I was thinking aside from the potassium is honestly the water. Now you may be drinking the exact same total amount of fluid either way, measuring and simply replacing with the drinks...

    Gotcha, yeah, you’re right though, I do do that, because I still refuse to believe I’m the delicate snowflake that can’t handle a normal deficit. It’s super frustrating. Up until this point, I...
