Thanks for the love amigos!

12/19

BN 5x5x210 last rep @ absolute 10. Maybe a little bit of room on this one for some gains during the cut but prob about it.
Also my leg position and lack of driving back is what's causing me to get some slack mid sets. Finally discovered one (leg position) where I do feel it driving back and continuing to put pressure on lats/upper back. Will try that next time.

P Sumo DL, 315x5, 3x5x355. These were actually surprisingly hard.

Climbed, eh.

Been a little hungry so far but not bad. Can't imagine eating like 1500 cals!

Cut is too aggro. You are going to dump back some of your gains.

1 pound per week.

Only non lifting fatties should do 2+.

And I didn't even have gains to lose when I did mine.

I used Nuckol's recommendation.

"Body fat percentage ÷ 20 = percentage of your current bodyweight you should aim to lose per week.

So, for example, if you’re currently at 20% body fat, you should aim to lose about 1% of your bodyweight per week. If you’re 10%, you should only aim to lose about 0.5% of your body weight per week."

I'm ~190 and I guess 17.5%bf. Using that I come out to 1.66lbs loss per week at the start. I guess it wouldn't hurt to start conservative. True if this is a 1k deficit that's too much. Hmm

Yeah I take that back. Lyle McDonald says it's fine, but you may want to pump up protein to 200+.

Climbed

12/21

SQ 4x5x315. First set was great, last set was pretty hard.

Cable pulls 4x ss Leg Ext

Machine flys 4x

OHP 2x145, 3x3x140

Workout was fairly hard. Energy levels have been fine/good just didn't have as much power(?) today, idk. Getting a little hungry but nothing I can't deal with. Been at 2k-2.2k cals with 180-200g protein, gonna aim for the higher end on the both of those.

BN 2x225, felt very heavy. Like I almost missed the 2nd rep. I decided to pass on lifting today, just did some volume climbing.
Maybe I have some accumulated fatigue. Did some chest and OHP yesterday, on a different schedule this week. Gonna take a few days off. Hope it's that and not the calorie deficit, that would be a pretty huge effect pretty quickly.

If you're still at a 1k deficit, that's for sure part of it.

Climbed outside. Repeated some 4-6s

Listened to this podcast the other day and found it really interesting. It's about the body's hormone levels (the slew of problems brought on by levels out of whack) and how brain injury in particular can mess them up (doesn't even have to be as significant as a concussion). I think I'm going to get a hormone panel done to see because why not.

That would certainly help explain your subpar lifts

Eh, I mean maybe testosterone levels are most likely to be avg+ but I have no idea. Sounds like there's other things to look for too. Pretty ignorant on the subject but curious to learn more and what my numbers are.

wow slingshot is a ridiculous difference, does it mostly help with form/tightness or does it actually assist the lift?

It's essentially an elastic band that provides assistance off if the chest, allowing you to move more weight and overload the top of the movement (i.e. the triceps) to a greater degree.
