I used my scale today and it told me I'm 208. I have to weigh more. That's less than when I started working out again and I'm as strong as when I bulked up to 245.

on the road to the 525 lb deadlift
today did a max of 475 x 2 ... with drop-sets... 455 x 2, 435 x 2, 405 x 3.
no chalk, no handstraps bullshyt... just all weight
the one compound lift i feel being tall / long arms gives me an advantage at... think i can hit my goal in the next month
Yessir. Being tall and using leg drive properly is almost a cheat code on deadlifts
First week of nsuns over and my body hasn't felt this way since I first started working out. Bench and OHP are recommended to go up but my squat and deadlift aren't which is fine. I'm just starting to actually put depth on my squat and I just started deadlifting with confidence about 2 months ago. Hyped to see where this program takes me over the summer.

Follow me to the truth
I'm not a prude or conservative in the least bit but is it necessary for yall to be sitting on equipment making out?
Take that shyt to the house not the gym

Been doing IF the past week, and aside from what/how to eat, been doing already. Broke it a hour early today (sunday brehs sunday
).
Man spending a couple more minutes stretching/warming up hip flexors/hams is worth it. The depth/knee-flexion issues I was having has gone away.
Now, if I can figure out this deadlift.

Running in the heat
i swear summer man...when it gets nice out my eating just gets bad...def did a sunday calisthenics workout at the gym this morning...then came in a half hour ago from taking a walk around my neighborhood...time to really tighten up on my eating..might be time to get back on my fasting wave too
U think u need a refeed?
Running in the heat
I wish I could even run in the heat. My knees can't take it.
nah..because i had been dropping weight with no plateau yet...my regular cheat days have been working as such..the problem is my new job is around a shytload of food..both in the office and esp out of it breh..so ive been indulging more...thats why i need to tighten up again
For me it's not even the eating, it's the increase in social functions where I know I'll eat AND drink like trash. Just this weekend I had to entertain a lady friend from ATL. Between HH on Friday, then Thai food on Friday night, to Jamaican food Saturday afternoon, I've done a dent on the the hard work I did Mon-Thu.
I'm just looking to close up shop for summer movements until my Euro trip. Give myself 11 good weeks of focus. Turn the corner on my plateau then move on from there
exactly..like my eating was on point from super bowl until memorial day weekend...memorial day i was in the dmv for 4 days on vaca so i was eating good and then after i came back..it started ramping back up again.. it was things to go to...cookouts...company luncheon celebrations...company team lunch activities...happy hours..my cousins going away party last weekend...i was in the gym but you cant out exercise bad eating...i just need to tighten up breh lol
