Weird calf shot
Monday I will try and get pumped comparisons. Curious as to how much size I will lose cutting this much weight.

You do things a bit different then most but you seem to know how it works for you. You have everything tailored to what your goals so run with it. The's no reason that a 41 y.o. can not be in great shape unless he chooses not to.

Pumping your calves will make them pool with blood. This will make them bigger to a tape but look smaller because you'll lose your cuts.
As for losing calf size on a cut; unless you're storing fat there, it's not probable. You don't seem to have much fat there so I bet you will be okay.
231.6
My calves are 16 1/2 my neck is 18.
Still feel alright. Two days off helped. Added 10lbs to my bench. I do a warm up and then 4 sets of 8.(or failure)Added 10lbs to my dead lift. Did my 50 pull ups 15/12/10/13. Tourqued my wrist a and have been using wraps. I only used them on the flat and incline bench and the deadlifts today.
Getting a new speed bag swivel coming in today. Getting rid of the plastic ball. So probably speed bag/jump rope cardio. Added a wood drum to stiffen up the speed bag platform this weekend. The shorter swivel will let the bag travel a shorter distance and be faster. I'm going to get some 30 inch hardwood rounds cut or find an end grain round butcher's block and build a drum I can use large speed bags on.View attachment 7630

The old one is just a plastic housing and plastic ball. I blasted a couple of these style swivels apart some time back. The ball sheds plastic and doesn't swivel smoothly. The action is too long. The new one came from Title. It is the super fast pro swivel. It is smooth. Speed bag cardio is awesome because it works the shoulders and when your legs are trashed you have an option. Not to mention the hand speed/eye hand improvement. My go to favorite is 6/6. Six 3 min rounds on the heavy bag and six 3 min rounds on the speed bag with one min rest. I barely take the rest on the speed bag. On the heavy bag I need it.

Here is what I ate yesterday. I have been dropping weight fast the last couple of days! I don't think I am missing anything. But I'm not good at figuring a diet.
Coffee, isolated whey shake(water), multivitamin teaspoon creatine, apple,slice of whole grain wheat bread, can of tuna, tablespoon of mayo, cup of peas, (tuna and peas I switch around with lettuce and egg/chicken.)orange, can of sardines, slice of whole grain bread, coffee, boiled egg, apple, two cups of egg noodles, three large Turkey burg and stuffing meatballs(made with egg) large serving mixed vegetables, Turkey gravy, banana, isolated whey shake. I usually eat a bowl of raisin bran with whole milk but not last night.
Anyone sees anything way off in my diet feel free to say whatever. I have been between 2,100 and 2,500 I think.

Much better Long.
And I'm kind of disappointed that FD has not shown up in a thread entitled Long Log.

awesome job so far dude. Since you are talking about competing in the ring again, I am assuming that fighting is your focus and weightlifting is a tool for you. Keep pushing forward.
