notes
really thought I'd be doing more volume today, like an extra working set of front squats, but this was enough to destroy me and leave a puddle of sweat. 245 was ROUGH, already feeling it in my ass this morning.
weight
183.2
so last night weighed in at 183 which is 1.5lbs lower than my target this friday of about 184.5-184.8 ish. I almost gave my self a treat for doing so well like a glass of wine but decided to enjoy the fact that the fat is in melt mode and not slow down the gainz train. I do think that I spent about 6-8 weeks rebuilding 2019 muscle atrophy. In 2020 the scale said initially I had gained about 10lbs, but in reality, I think I had lost just as much in muscle mass due to not being able to train for nearly a full year. So I probably gained more like 20lbs.
In January, I could not get my weight to go down. got serious about training again and weight was either up or flat for the first weeks. Then it was a real struggle of discipline in both nutrition and training to get back into the habit and fight through it. The fact that weight is shedding so quickly now makes me think I'm getting very close to being where I was in 2018.
