Yes Sir, my left arm is now back to being a little bigger than my right arm. I am left handed so it has always been a little bigger. Actually my left is now my strong side again, and I have to start with my right side now due to having a partially subluxed biceps tendon on that side. I don't have the same stability or control on my right side, but it isn't hurting development much as visible in those pics i had in my thread from last week.
a lifetime of choking the chicken with one hand will do that. you gotta mix it up some, son.
Nofap ser.
Seated DB OHP 4 x 10/10/10/7 x 75's
I was all excited someone was talking to me...what a letdown
Haha, well if your actually targeting around 2500 calories then the 200p, 250c, and 75-80f would work for you but I think your calories are higher than this aren't they?I was all excited someone was talking to me...what a letdown
Yeah, my kcal are probably about 3000k. Gaining weight back too quickly lol. I just can't commit to not sleeping and feeling like trash for an 8 week cut.
Agreed. It's too much, but I'm also guessing it's 3k. I know it's at least 2400 kcal based on previous calculations, and just eating more overall (kids leftover chicken/rice they didn't finish), or an extra piece of Naan, extra rice at dinner, etc. I was seeing what happened if I ate enough to keep glycogen full, training hard and not be too over maintenance. Still feel like crap the first half of every day. Sleeping decent though. Weighed 224 the past 3 days so it must be right around maintenance.
Also should mention, all the TDEE things I've done like Bodpod, some breathing metabolic test among others has me around 2800-3000kcal for maintenance.
Yeah, but when things go off the rails, I start doubting everything I "know".
Weight: 227.2Weight: 225
Flat DB Press 8 x 70's, 4 x 8/8/8/7 x 90's
Standing OHP 4 x 8/8/8/6 x 120
Incline Cable Press 12x35.2, 10x44, 10x44
Skullcrushers 4 x 8/6/6/6 x 60
Machine Lateral Raise 15x40, 12x50, 12x50, 8x50
Small improvements I think in almost everything. Standing OHP is about 10-15 pounds lower then what I was doing a few months ago for roughly the same reps, but it's after flat db Press this go around whereas it was first before...so hard to really compare...I think.
If I wanna bench 315, I gotta weigh 315, amirite?! lulz
I meant doesn't need to worry about.
Brother, you have got to learn to talk to yourself better. How do you expect to stick with something if you can not muster the commitment to say what you are going to do with confidence. "Let's see if I stick with this." is a very self defeating, and damn near prophetic prediction of failure to come. Commit to it, then do it, and don't look for excuses not to stick with it.

I'm going to have to implement that then. Thanks.
Yeah, what I'm doing isn't optimal for lower body, but I am adding leg press after my DL on day 4. My delts, and and traps still need the most work, but I do miss having an awesome teardrop on my quad after watching a video from about 6 years ago doing a DL. Also with regard to programming, this isn't what I'd be doing if I didn't deal with PEM/sleep issues. I'd much prefer PPL 6 days per week, or a high frequency full-body every day 5 days per week like the Stronger By Science guys promote, but I don't have the time or recovery for all that. And like I said, delts/traps/arms (the real man muscles lol) are my weakest parts so I gotta prioritize.
I know exactly what you're saying. During my one legit deload the past 9 months I still pushed the accessories hard. The rest of the "deloads" were just forced due to vacation or illness. True deloads like we're talking about *feel* like a waste of gains, even though I *know* they aren't.
HMMMM, as much progress as you made, perhaps you could have made a little more with some deloads. It is so counterintuitive, but it works. Even a race car has to take a pitstop to change tires during the race.
I did some googling on the word, fatigue. I always assumed it just meant tired, and I almost never feel *tired* like I want to sleep. I get it now, that it's not (only) that, but a constellation of symptoms that build up. I do think I've been overreaching for too long.

Wait, so you are feeling the need for a true deload now?
Its the workouts you have to recover from. Take em to the gym with you and see if they don't want to go to bed earlier! LMAO
I know we've talked about it before, but how many carbs per day was your lower cutoff before it effected your mood? And was this amount necessary to cut?
