I've got some kind of theory about lifts going up while cutting. It's basically:

You are probably stronger than you thought and are actually just increasing weight and lifting weight closer to your genetic potential, and if you are new enough to lifting you are still teaching your CNS how to do enough stuff that you can increase your weights simply as your body learns.

F it better be something like that because my squats have gone way down since cutting.

Good job though I wish that when I had dropped 15 pounds and was still squatting 315

Another workout at home. after a missed monday. blech.

That seems like a solid theory Mr. Fondue.

Im pleasantly surprised either way. Also I might consider trying another bulk and cut later this year to see if I can push through to another level.

With an intermediate program, maybe, not sure what would be optimal.

I think lap dances before lifting is a good idea. Raises testosterone levels.

2 week countdown until I am there. Weeee.

Also, I will be very weak by then.

We should go scope a lvac since 24hr has the worst visitor policy of all time.

I heard the one on sahara has lots of lovely ladies, lets go there.

After a few dances of course.

Dear lord that's a lot of squat reps

it's funny after the post that says i might try 320 later. but i understand not wanting to squat. also, 10 rep sets ftl.

FWIW I'm pretty sure LVAC visitor policy is horrible unless you have it built into your membership.

The home workout with no rack isn't something Im happy about. I sold my car a little while ago and havent found what I'm looking for yet.(gti) Have been going with my roommate but hes bitching out on me. I havent lost the love for the squat. Surprisingly.

workout partners inevitably fade.

this workout was pretty exhausting. Broke into sweat after first set. Missing the gym but this isn't too bad. Looking forward to seeing what my 2x 5rm looks like after a week of high rep squats.
