Proper milestone on the bench press, a long time coming. I'm also finally moving into new frontiers for the squat. My squat form needs a lot of work but I think it's good enough to proceed with weight increases. That said, I expect to need to reset pretty soon.
I decided to lower the RDL sets to 10 reps (not including the deadlift off the floor) so that the sets would be a little shorter. The 3x12 was pretty torturous, with my conditioning being the limiting factor.
Week 35 Diet, Maintenance Week
This week was a nice break from the cut. As I mentioned last week, the plan is to return to 1300-1400 calories. I'm not happy with the rate of weight loss at this intake, but I'm kind of on a roll with lifting gains and I'd rather not disturb that. So same diet as before (but with a bit more judicious carb intake) until I have three consecutive weak gym days. At that point, I will reduce calories to 1150, de-load for a week, and proceed to bring this cut to a much-desired end as quickly as possible.
Also, new nudes/measurements next week.
