Our Physical Fitness

Did a lot of yoga like stretching and active body weight strength flexibility. I’m terrible at them.

Round of specialized calisthenics for buhurt. Then we got in armor again!

I was actually terribly sore. Like everywhere. Still time in armor is time well spent. I even sparred a bit.

We are so back in business boys, crushed it. Summary after grocery run lol.

OK.

Upper, Gym Scale - 178.

Good warm up.

Bench - I added a 2nd 'warm up' set at 260, just to get some blood going, and then was able to get 6 at 300. Still not back to where I was, but it felt better.

Dips, back up to 110.

Pull Downs, up, 190 x 8.

Pec Deck, felt better, I do 2 sets here as I want to be really warm so to not tear up my shoulders. 8 x 210, 6 x 225.

Cable Row, 8 x 220

BoBR, Good energy left, still at 185.

Incline Dumbbell, 95s x 8

Incline Bench, 8 x 160, 8 x 180, again with 2 sets to make sure the shoulder is warm.

Incline (80 degree) Press, 110 x 8, 160 x 6 feeling a bit rough at this point.

Hammer Pulldown. 10 x 180, this thing has been great for my back I think.

A bit of shoulder/delt stuff (lateral cable and such) to wrap up.

Really good. This updated diet has really kicked in and I was feeling great.

Sunday - Rest but high carb.
Monday - Upper, high carb.
Tues - Legs, low carb.
Wed - Arms, high carb.
Thursday - Rest, low carb.
Friday - Upper, high carb.
Saturday - Lower, low carb.

Thats the plan for this week, and I should be going into legs fueled up, as well. Which is good, I spent about 4 hours squatting repairing drywall yesterday.

Nice!

That was the biggest difference between calorie surplus and deficit. In a deficit I just couldn't push the same. Everything else kind of hung around, but my bench was getting weaker every week. Seems weird, but I don't know how else to explain it.

Makes sense to me: you need calories to push the weight.

Incidentally (and to the surprise of no one, I'm sure), my diet has been a trainwreck, and the training's showing it.
