Rethinking my chicken n rice situation. I need a little variety. Gonna make little sauce packets. Been fukking with BBQ sauce for now, quick fix. But Im gonna make a few different ones. Jamaican brown gravy, Jamaican curry sauce, Campbell's cream of mushroom soup w/garlic flavor.... trying to think of some other ones, might try to make a bourbon sauce, see about some Asian sauces etc. Its not that the chicken and rice is bad, it's doable. I just figure it will be that much more enjoyable/doable w/some more variety. I need to get more veggies in too, song of my life.

Did chest/arms/back yesterday
Im officially at the point where my narrow grip bench is stronger than my regular bench
Soon my incline bench will be stronger than my flat bench too I was struggling to rep out 185. I think my chest is completely dead. When I hit this bulk Im going beast mode on chest. I already know exactly how I'm gonna hit it (resistance band flys).
Rest of the workout was
. Sleep has been low key basura, I feel sleepy all the time. Couldn't do legs today so I'm gonna ride.

Couldnt get my ride in Monday so I skipped it. Couldn't hit legs yesterday so I rode. I did an hour at 14.7 MPH average, compared to 13 MPH average just a week before. So now I am thinking I will just do one long ride a week, instead of two, and only hit legs once a week. I might throw in some short rides throughout the week to speed up fat burn, but overall I think I was doing too much. I'm really liking front squats as well and actually making gains (probably just due to improved technique/motor patterns). Might make those my bread n butter quad movement. Finally figured out exactly where the weight has to sit.
Hitting chest/shoulders/arms today. We will see how much strength I lost. Someone just told me I slimmed down though

Cream of Mushroom soup does NOT go with my chicken and rice We skrugglin brehs
Chest arms shoulders went OK, nothing to report.
Doing a super micro water cycle thing for this competition I'm in on another forum. Basically just not drinking water today and taking it easy on the carbs. Might take a little diuretic as well. Then tomorrow morning load up on carbs and go high rep on everthing for max pump. Hopefully that will get me in the best condition I can be for the photo submission and give me a glimpse of what I might look like at the end of the cut. Just gonna suck going without water. I'm thirsty already
Looking around for low carb meals, found a KFC. Just fits the bill. Decent protein, satiating fat... only prob is obv the sodium, which I hope doesn't cancel out this water shyt I'm doing. Lol my timing is so off, I'm trying to do a week's worth of cycling in 24 hours SMH. O well we will see what happens.

Ha just realized what may have helped my ride. Bought a new seat last weekend. Much more comfortable, which enabled me to just focus on the ride.
Lol I fukked it all up. Was supposed to restrict sodium, had 3300mg for lunch lol. Time for another snickers, its gonna be what its gonna be.
198.5 (average) 
Some of it is probably the low water shyt I did yesterday but fukk it. Weekends are low water anyway, its just a "dry" weight. I do want to tighten the diet a bit though, it got a bit loose last week. Keep it at 2100. Might throw in some small rides to complement the big one. If I can get 2 hours/30 miles total this week I will be happy.

Took n submitted my pics for the contest. Not posting em here. Im def less fat than before but I have a long ass way to go I thought I would be good at like 185.... now Im thinking maybe like 175. Def gonna hit the cardio a little harder... maybe switch to more frequent but shorter HIIT? I was looking at old pics... I was so close back then. If I had just cut then We still pushin tho

Hit upper body party Saturday and took my pics as I mentioned. Truthfully I think the shyt I tried to do with the water and all that worked against me. I'm kinda back to normal again. I was holding a lot of water in those pics for some reason, prob all the shyt I tried to do half assed. No biggie.
Hit legs Sunday morning and then did a 30 minute ride Sunday night. Made my shredded chicken thighs and put the brown sugar back. So much better. I did realize one thing though. I bought 7.5 lbs on the dot and figured I would get 6 servings out of it. I measured out 400g servings... only got 5
So all this time I have been getting an extra 4oz of chicken, which is low key a lot. Extra 110 or w/e kcal a day, albeit good lean protein, but I will have to adjust elsewhere. Dont have much room to play... daily goal is 2000-2200; chicken as is is 750, rice with it is another 300-350 or so. Whey shake is 450, Im already at 1550 right there. I have generally been on the higher end with my night meals, sometimes totaling up to 2300 or even 2400 Its all good though, I have needed to tighten my shyt up anyway so Im gonna be a little stricter and stick with 2200. Also on days I don't lift I might go a *little* low carb. Didnt put rice in my chicken today, but Im starting to feel a little sluggish. Naw fukk that we not going low carb.
Also have a separate room for my bike and trainer now so that shyt is staying fixed. I want to make another pass at getting more riding in... basically do half an hour every day I can. Yesterday I did 7.5 miles but it was a little rough. Got shyt to do tonight so I will try again tomorrow. Still only gonna hit legs once a week and save my legs for cardio. Front squats are feeling better and better by the day so hopefully I can keep that momentum up. I want the weight loss to get more consistent and a little bigger.

All of the pants I bought last summer are too big. I have to go shopping tonight. I have like 2 pairs of pants that fit and I just put on a pair of 32" waist pants I've had collecting dust for years. Im still gonna keep pushing though, I wanna get down to 30"
Chest arms back today for lunch. I managed to hit 3x9x195 Saturday so I am going to try for 3x6x215 today. Seems like my bench pathway is turned back on... just have to be humble and take the Ls

CAB went well yesterday. Hit 6, 6, and like 4x215, felt pretty good. Rode last night as well. I need to force myself to go LISS. I get hyped up and always wind up fukking sprinting. Dropped weight on arm stuff so I can work in the 12-15 rep range on those. Weight was in the 201s this morning, but I'm feeling like that's just water and carbs. Love handles are damn near nonexistent 
Got some olympic weights and another barbell. Did front squats and recorded it with my camera. That is valuable info, I will def be doing that more. Saw that I was rushing through and not engaging my core enough. I was hyperextending my lower back. Humbled myself and lowered the weight all the way down to 135 
Starting from scratch.
Got a check coming so I'm gonna order the cage and angled Swiss bar next week.

OK couple of updates
Did chest/arms/shoulders yesterday. Interestingly enough I went pretty low carb. Had my chicken but I threw veggies in instead of rice. I meant to get a candy bar on the way but forgot. Workout went fine
I'm gonna try this low carb shyt for a little bit. I think I might have to start tracking calories 
Hit about 2400 yesterday again. Really wanna stay under 2200 MAX. Good thing though is between the chicken and shake I have a protein base of about 230g/day, so if I can manage my energy I can prob get a little more aggressive with calories. I dont want to get lower than 2000 though.
Alright not really too many updates lol.
