Morning BW: 213.3.

Notes: I’ve been ULC since monday and I figure most of the water weight has drained.

Looks like you’re dropping weight fast.

Thanks GV.

Press, 5’s day, TM 160, Top Set, 135.

Press: 45 x10, 656 x5, 85 x5, 105 x5, 125 x5, 135 x13, 4, 4, 4.

Dips: BW x 10, +25 x10, +50 x10.

Tri Pulldowns: Some x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.

Stairs: 20 flights.

Notes: I was dragging ass today in the gym, low cal, low carb sucks.

I think I’d get pretty cranky doing low carb work. Would be hard not to speak my mind in the gym.
Nice work on the 135 press reps.

Morning BW 212.6.

nice work

Nice work. I need to get my fat ass to lose some weight.

Thanks for checking on me, fellas.

5’s day. Deads. TM 430, Top Set 365.

Deads: 45 x10, 135 x10, 225 x5, 315 x5, 365 x10 (full reset).

Leg Curls (hammies): Some x 10, 10, 10.

Stairs: 20 Flights:

Notes: I left a few in the tanks of the money set, but I was still a bit winded. Low zerchers are tough, I really had to work to get under the bar, and they were hard to get moving. Still low cal, almost zero carb.

Jacks back
Is back

Its a bit better OMP, thanks, but still tweaky. I seems like I can hit the big movements, but things like getting out of bed or twisting or sitting in a chair still hurt.

Is the leg and back remaining tightness affecting your benching? It looks like your doing some nice lifting here.

What’cha cutting for?
And nice work as usual :slight_smile:

GV, I don’t think my back is affecting my bench much.

C-Gal, I’m cutting because: (1) I picked up some fat over the winter; (2) waterski season is coming up and extra fact is a performance killer; (3) I’d like to compete in the 198 class next meet and have a better strength-to-weight ratio; and (4) I’d like to–at least just occasionally–see some abs during my adult life.

Thanks for checking on me, I’m off to squat and then tear into carbs later.
