Weight this morning: 194.4. Diet's been pretty tight so there should be a whoosh soon. No worries.

Have some bench videos but my office wifi is messed up so I can't upload; lengthened the pause and worked on controlling the descent more, but I need to get slower at the bottom and stay tighter, although I improved as the set went on. Everything else was good/tough though. Didn't try for the 3rd at 230 even though there was an outside chance I would have gotten it. Eh.

Yup, slower towards the chest and tighter setup needed. Last two 215 sets were better, though.

2612/230c/65f/244p

Some unevenness in there because the wife made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and I'm just kind of guessing at the calories, but it's close enough for government work imo.

193.0 on the button.

3/31

DL (SSPT Week 2, 360 working max)
2x5x135, 3x225, 15x1x255 (70%, 40-45 seconds rest between sets)

DL and FS was still easy, everything else was also fine. Looking forward to getting to some of the heavier DL weeks, though.

No idea what calories were yesterday -- somewhere between 3 and 4K. Met the wifeacore out for lunch and then had a business dinner, so call it a refeed.

Weight this morning: 193.4.

235 paused was pretty tough, so I just decided to drop down and do an extra set or two at 225 to get some volume in. Everything else was fine, although my work capacity still isn't that great.

2329/236c/54f/233p

Going to be out of town Tuesday through Friday next week so I'm going to have to move some stuff around -- kind of annoying.

196.0 this morning; just an artifact from Wednesday's festivities.

Block pulls were off of two plates and harder than I expected, which I was kind of surprised by. Upper back weakness maybe? Everything else was no biggie as usual.

Lol at this amount of time off; still jet lagged and almost fell asleep three times doing this, but it was nice to get some blood pumping. Just going to do some random jellydick stuff for a while, because realistically it's all I'm going to have time for given the travel I've got planned for the next three or four months.

Wiped, nap time. So weak. So fat.

Weight? Don't be shy. Let's see the damage.

This guy always exaggerates. I bet you 196 max. Most likely 194.

How the fack can you get fat in Japan, unless you McDing it up everyday?

If I worked for corporate america they would be paying my Michelin star dinners and my $20 a day gym membership. Possibly my geisha massages.

I'm going +10 lbs of fat, but -10 lbs lbm, for no net change

All progress must be documented, aka noodz or gtfo

I like any forum that encourages a noodz or GTFO standard.

I haven't weighed myself yet, but a combination of loco's and Aidan's guesses is probably the most accurate. 205 paused bench was embarrassingly difficult.

RJ, there are some noods from around December 2013 that are more or less what I look like now, if you need some more material.

Extremely childish of u to have a hard time benching 205... trade in baseball?

realb,

Paused, though. And sure.

RJ,

Many happy returns.

Monte marketing vintage material. I guess he's at that age where he needs to rebrand to keep in rotation

^ ouch

Syndrom, not sure why you thought that was all that much of a burn, or really a burn at all, but whatever.

4/30

60 mins @ 4.0 = 4.0 miles

Not too sore today; probably going to try to DL + FS tomorrow and see how it goes.

Back at it after catching AIDS from the minis last week. Not sure where the weight is, but I'm +1 belt loop, which is not great. Back to it, although it's just going to be random old weak guy stuff, because why not.

5/11
Squat: 10x45, 5x95, 5x135, 3x165, 2x185, 3x5x205
Defict DL: 2x5x135, 5x185, 4x3x255
Single Leg Press: 5x10x110

Everything was fine, if embarrassingly hard. Created the deficit with 35 lb plates, and it felt pretty good. Wednesday DOMS confirmed.

The dadbod movement is all the rage these days, so it's really nbd if you're getting a little fluffy. The wifeacore might even prefer it!

She surely does, but what does she know. My BDD must be fed (as it were).

2431/226c/70f/245p

Might be slightly high on the fat, but I estimated high on the oil that I actually consumed in my big batch of stir fry (~3 tbsp of peanut oil in four pounds of chicken and a roughly equal amount of peppers and onions).

I don't like that you eat more than me

Take solace in the fact that I drink a fair bit less.
