Made it to the boxing gym today, 3 rounds Shadow boxing three rounds on the heavy bag and then I went over to test some numbers on squats and deadlifts.
Squat 225x8, 275x6, 335x3
Deadlift 225x3, 315x3, 375x3 405x1
Then back to the bag for another round or 2 with no timer.
Sooooooo .......
Somebody's dad who's the trainer and owner looks at me and says you're going to have a rough time losing weight the way this job is going, I was like yeah I know but I can still get down to 178 for January, he said nope you're not doing it lol. You're not losing 30 lb in 6 to 8 weeks it's just too much right now, I said I'm already 191, he said ya right
.
So he basically said stop trying to plan a fight date and just do what you're supposed to do and when you get there you get there. There's too much stuff coming up to set a date. When you're ready you'll know you're ready.
And for once I completely agree, it's a relief because I'm not ready I'm not training hard enough I'm still more focused on lifting weights than I am cardio and my diet has been very mediocre.
I mean everything I'm doing is still way better than gen pop diet and training but I'm not even close to putting in the effort that I was over the summer.
For that being said, I feel pretty good I feel very strong I just need to drop a little bit of body fat and get my cardio up a little bit better. I'm setting a more realistic goal to drop 10lbs by the new year, that will put me at 191
