AND that is why I quit drinking other than once in awhile. I was super hungover. Took a rest day yesterday and today. Feeling better. Back at it tomorrow. I’ve been doing some high sets and reps with low weight for the last 12wks. Thinking about moving into a more power lifting phase for 3-4 months and put some strength on.

That was yesterday’s numbers. Hit it late and didn’t get a chance to log it! Today is a rest day. Normally I would of hit some delta too, but me and my son ended up doing a tree job during the day. I had a big rest in between that and the workout. Can’t wait to see those numbers start rising! Going to have to get 4 more plates soon. B day is tomorrow! So I should able to leverage that in there. Haha

Or don't do deads and squat back to back days, swap the shrugs and deads and only go heavy on deads once a month.

Heavy squat light deads for 3 week like 5 reps or higher on deads, then go heavy deads and light squats after for a week, heavy deads like 3x3 or 2x2, not need for singles.

Find your max, then adjust your heavy lifts from 97% down to 92.5%.

 

[SFGiants]

You're going to run yourself down squatting heavy then the next day pulling heavy.

 

[SFGiants]

Just round out the numbers

102% = PR
100% = Max
97% 2x2
95% 3x3
92% 4x4
90% 5x5
85% 6x4
80% = 8 reps
75% = 10 reps
70% = 12 reps
65% = 15 reps
60% = 20 reps

You see the pattern?

 

[Berserker_D]

Done deal! Dead’s swapped with shrugs! Heavy squat, light dead’s for 3wks Then heavy dead’s light squat! Thanks for the correction brother I have literally zero experience with strength training. I found it from Jeff Nipard on YT. He called it PowerBuild! I’m addicted to that feeling NOW! Strength training is Amazing

It was a rest day. So I ate like a beast. Wife and I both had some fat to loose. So we started keto and it was ok but found our way to carnivore. Got down to one big meal and a snack. She lost like 50# and I lost like 25# A lot of it was water. Our fasting BG in the morning was high and it helped with that. Neither one of us were taking anything just ate like shit for 15yr straight. We both have diabetes in our family. So that’s the road we walked. I’m know it’s not popular with most but it is what it is. I’m doing one or two protein shakes to help get used to eating big again. I was eating a grip of fat and loosing fat but now I’m trying to really slice my physique so dropping fats and keeping protein high and getting higher. Train like a beast. So I’ll start adding body weight and macros to my log. Didn’t get a weight this morning but will add in tomorrow

 

[CohibaRobusto]

A few problems I had when I tried keto years ago before I really grew at all.

1. The fat loss stopped for some reason, really quickly, like 2-3 weeks in.

2. I stayed on it longer just to see what would happen, and all the fat trashed my lipids. My doctor was like wtf, and I had some explaining to do.

Now when I want to get lean I lower calories from carbs and fat, and that seems to work for me without having to go zero carb.

 

[Berserker_D]

Definitely going to add in some healthy carbs when I stop growing. I’ve been looking pretty deep into the whole cholesterol deal. Triglycerides suck for sure but the HDL and LDL are pretty awesome. They all got there jobs to do in the body. Good carbs too. But the triglycerides are just trash from trash food. I totally feel much better, than I used too and my sleep apnea was gone in a couple weeks, and I quit getting up to piss 5x6 times a night. Been that way as long as I can remember. Down to maybe one time and sleep is amazing. Different stuff definitely works better for some than others. Not a big fan of keto they got treats and breads and all kinds of silly shit. I just eat meat that’s it! Been 3 months and couldn’t be happier. I did see you need the carbs to keep growing at some point. Time will tell that’s for sure. Im never afraid to switch it up. I do my best to stay humble stay hungry

Switch from sumo back to conventional. Jeff Nipard said for guys with short legs they should pull sumo. Just felt weird. All the lifts get good.
I love my wife But sometimes I hate her lol. Let her talk me into a bad decision. Running errands in town and food shopping for the bulk. On the way out she goes I ordered pizza. She knows I love that shit!
90 days super clean diet and I fumbled the ball. So nutrition for the day is crazy!

 

[Diesel59]

@Berserker_D It happens! It's not like you can say no to your wife buying you pizza.

 

[SFGiants]

It's just a cheat day no big deal
