I have found a lot of things to help with sleep

- no caffeine after lunch time (that means preworkouts too :francis: )
- blue light filter apps on all my devices set to turn on at sunset
- no looking at my devices within like 1 hour before bed time
- turn down the thermostat ~30 minutes before bedtime and have it warm up ~30 minutes before you get up.

Throw the damn preworkouts in the garbage brehs

After 3 week hiatus due to a slight injury on my lower back doing DLs, I'm back.

Hit 4 sets of 275 at 6 reps a piece. Nothing crazy, but working my way back up. Had an explosive back workout today. Worked up a heavy sweat. Left the gym feeling :blessed:.

I think I prefer having days where all I do is lift and then do my cardio on the soccer field. I really dislike stationary cardio like bikes or treadmills. I'd run outside but my knees are :flabbynsick: until I drop a good deal of weight. As far as your diet is in check, you can drop good weight just lifting and having 2 days of very intense end to end soccer.

Btw, can anyone recommend a good lifting routine for the 11 weeks. I have M, Tu, W and F to lift. I play soccer Th and Sa. Rest on Sundays. Ideally I want just large compound movements for strength and shape so that as I drop some lbs I still have a relatively solid, tight figure and don't look "skinny fat".

Solid list. I literally do all this (caffeine / pre / devices) and can't stop. But I'm sure I'd sleep better if I didn't

Check out this expert level nutrition I've been on the past two days. I've ate for breakfast the usual, two egg omelette with ham and cheese, two slices of wheat toast with butter, and a cup of coffee. The rest of the day, three slices of pizza. I did have a reeses yesterday tho. If I'm eating pizza, might as well eat just two meals a day. Drink nothing but water tho so no excess liquid calories. :francis:
