Increased carb intake over the past few weeks after months of low-carb dieting. Nice to see no damage on the scale. Would like to get down to 140 before working to add 4-5 pounds of quality muscle (need to stay below 149; IBJJF featherweight).
Still training 5/3/1 regularly. Just finished week one of the 1.2 of the Beyond template. My immediate goal is to 1RM 1-2-3-4 plates in the Big Four by the end of the 2019 T-Nation Transformation season. 1RMs as of mid-June 2018: 130/195/270/295.
For some perspective on size. Haha. It’s relative I guess. I’m putting up a bicep in that bottom pic. I don’t know how big my arm is, but your bicep is as big as the largest part of my thigh!
Hey, thank you, Edgy. I hope all is well with you.
@ Quitting Diet Cherry DP? It was one of the few things that gave me JOY, so I figured it was probably bad, right? We like to get rid of all good things with this hobby. Lol.
I don’t think giving it up has effected my weight. I was just a little proud of giving it up because I was starting to go through a 2 liter bottle every couple of days. It’s probably a good thing I don’t drink wine. Not kidding.
I saw your join date. Nice to have you here. A lot of people got involved in a T-ransformation thread, a physique improvement challenge. Many of the lifters checked in on that thread in June, and then haven’t checked in again here.
