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... -
FWIW if you decide to forego the deficits I found some awesome pics of Rhinos in Tuxedos for inspiration:

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.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...

Yeah, I need to be able to push on something hard, otherwise I get board and disenchanted with the whole process. It is just frustrating at that point. Yeah, once you get to a certain age, and or... -
Way to get back in it quickly!

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Weight: 206.0 again. Slept awesome last night, and drinking a low sugar Gatorade and a Powerade Zero really make the difference in sleep in a steep deficit. It sounds crazy but even Grok...

Run 5s on the negatives, 1-2 sets of 5 negatives with something to push you back up as you curl hard as you can. PVC pipe, wide lat pulldown handle, a training partner. But I’ve seen that work...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Thanks guys, yeah, you're right. I did hit 3400kcal yesterday but according to fitbit burned 3500. Slept so much better though:. I'll drop back down today. The cognitive side effects were...

I wasn’t going to say anything initially but I thought the same thing. If you want to lose fat, you are going to have to suffer! And performance will drop some. It is part of the trade and it’s...

Keep feeling the deficit. Embrace the suck my man! You are trying to lose weight, if you are working hard and your numbers go down some, they go down some. You aren't doing a strength event, you...

New low of 225.8 this morning. Don’t want to lose anymore weight, but relieved I didn’t overeat on the trip & longer loading period. Dropped from 235 Tuesday morning fed for squats to 227 in...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Weight: 206.6 Let’s go!

Dustin covered this, but yes - the entire reason it’s called Boring But Big is that all you do is 5x10 of the same compound you already did. You can flip flop the movements on days to increase...

I think you have to self regulate and I always defer to Hyde in regards to over training since I'm notorious for it, but my routine so far has been: 531 If I feel great after last set > Jokers...

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Side note: I’d really like to see what happened if you took a solid 3-5 minutes rest on lifts instead…
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.Gotcha, so 531 on mains and BBB accessories would be permissible?
-
GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.I wonder why the BBB sets are never an auxiliary exercise...is that ever used?
-
worth noting, when I got home from vacation around may 10th, I didn't have any direction. I was just doing a bodybuilding split but without specific goals, so I fired up the 531 app to take extra...
-
I am now that I'm being a bit smarter with volume and recovery. Historically 531 would give me fantastic gains and completely destroy me within 2 cycles. I'm starting cycle 5 next week and I'm...

Thanks everyone! It was a great trip and a great show. I’m very proud of her, no doubt.

GreenMachineX replied to the thread Building Back Up.And you're enjoying it? The last time I tried it, I was too far into a deficit but I enjoy working out and it just wasn't fun.
-
I've been running totally basic 531 with occasional jokers (depending on fatigue level) and BBB almost every time unless I'm pinched on time. so 4 day split basically: Squat/Bench/Deadlift/OHP...

Congrats to your wife! What an awesome time you guys had. I’m glad you guys got to have a great date night.
