Kidcolin's log: back to basics (plus neck harness) - Page 205

Meh. Weight likely artificially low as didn't have a ton of carbs and was a bit dehydrated from some beers on Saturday. waist surprised me as I went down a belt notch during the week. Maybe bloat from the beers. All in all staying pretty consistent with my eating so that's good.

solid day. Saw a young woman, guessing college-aged, looks like a track athlete, just crush squats today. Pretty flawless ATG. Saw her hit 195x12ish, 225x10ish, 255x8-10 or something for a few sets. Damn.

def wasn't, but a 4RM wouldn't shock me. 1st rep of every DL set is always the worst so maybe I under-shoot my single RPEs.

I also think if you ran the bridge with -1 on all RPEs the end result wouldn't be much different.

Sick--what would you estimate is your 1RM right now?

On your first reps your hips are doing a little up-down-up thing before the liftoff. Is that to build up some stretch reflex or just getting comfortable or something?

yeah I see that. Mostly habit. I like getting my air with the legs more extended. It's unnecessary but it's slight enough that I don't really think it's a big deal.

395x5 @7 roughly translates to 500. I doubt that for me, but probably like 485 or something. Hard to say as I'm worse at singles. Confident in 475 but after that who knows.

10/14/18: sunday weigh in

Date	Weight	Waist
9/17/18	223.6	n/a
9/24/18	221.2	n/a
9/30/18	219.2	39.25
10/7/18	217.4	39.33
10/14/18	215.8	39.06

While it's cool seeing a number that low, it's def fake news. I played STUD last night on the late-ish side. Got to bed ~3/3:30. While I always drink plenty of water and coffee something about foxwoods always leaves me dehydrated. I weighed in at 218.6 Saturday morning (which was also a bit surprising). I'll be pretty OK with a number in the 216s next week.

Nice DLs

I haven't really been following your log all that closely, but did you change gyms at some point? Looks completely different from what I'm used to in kc videos.

Looks solid. If anything, maybe bending your knees too early on the way down leading to the bar bouncing away from you a bit--I can't tell if you're repositioning it fully on the floor after that (but I always catch myself *not* doing that).

Also, I'm tempted to try to zoom in and see if I can read your diary.
