    Building Back Up

    Ohhhhh I gotcha. Yeah, I’m not too worried about digging a deficit as much as recovering sufficiently which I think is just because the deficit ends up being too aggressive while training too close to failure. Just guessing here. I don’t really know. Starting back training tomorrow. Another...

    Well, establishing a deficit isn’t the issue. Im going to shoot for 3k kcal each day and continue the same daily activity/workouts. That should still be a decent deficit. Edit: I think back to every mountain bike trail ride where I ate the same kcal as any other day…I was completely trashed...

    Also, change of plans. I'll be continuing a light to moderate cut instead of the last maintenance plan. I'm still too close to the next size up in pants and it's not ok.

    Nah, I don’t get seasonal allergies. The aches and that type of thing don’t fit allergies. But, I’m starting to wonder if I’m digging myself into a hole working out 4 times per week too close to failure or something. Most of my training career in the past decade has been 2-3 times per week.

    lol doesn’t exactly look like it’s working. Either way, still went to the church/student conference as a leader. I don’t let it stop regular much, just take a week off training.

    hmmm. Well, hard to say it’s stress given I have the easiest job I’ve ever had, work from home, kids driving themselves to practices now, etc. but, yeah, something is different resulting in a cold/whatever every 6 months like clock work. Most of my life I didn’t get sick ever until Covid. Hmmm

    Right, for sure, but those weren't super hard sets, and have done similar workouts without feeling like I did a 400m Sprint lol

    Building Back Up

    Just finished some excellent pizza after a hard workout and pretty tough yard work. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m done “cutting” for now, at least in the sense of the standard 500 kcal deficit. I’m going to target maintenance or just under with a higher daily protein target in an effort...

    Weight: 208.8 Had lots of electrolytes from Gatorade zero and gatorlyte, and plenty of sodium from food probably close to @Hyde level, and kcal about 100 under what I burnt according to Fitbit (3600). Still got PEM. It’ll be a down day.
