I will be adding in weight vest runs after my upper body days and off days. Lower body days I will do a weight vest walk. The weight vest runs are not the most enjoyable thing in the moment but I feel great after I'm done.

still having trouble with my squats. I seem to be weak in the hole and my body wants to come forward to turn the lift into a good morning. I'm thinking of changing my assistance work to a low box squat.

you can also do paused squats in the hole. Lower weight and try not to lean forward in the hole.

Be careful of the weighted runs. The stress it adds to your knees and spine is exponential. If you start to feel it, back off.

The weighted walks are awesome though.

Thank you both for the suggestions. I'll try the pause squats on my next cycle of 531. It'll save me from having to build a box. I'm hoarding my scrap lumber.

CJ, it's funny you mention that I've been noticing that my knees have some pain in the beginning of the run but by the time I'm done its gone. I just like being able to get my cardio done quicker but you are probably right.

Didn't track calories this weekend. Saturday was a high calorie/carb day. Sunday was bit better on the calories and carbs. Yard work and went with the wife for her lasik consultation on Saturday. Sunday I got a 3 mile paddle in and powerwashed the house.

I will be doing my bench workout tonight but I got 2.56 mile walk in 33 minutes with my weight vest this morning.

Squats are not where I want them to be. I'm hoping in a couple of months when I bump calories to maintenance I can start pushing them again.

On Wednesdays we have dinner at my parents. These days continue to be an issue for me when it comes to the diet. Yesterday was breakfast for dinner and I ate everything. Tonight will not be much better because we are going out to eat for a family friend's birthday.

Always hard to structure around these days.

On days like that, where you know it's going to be a challenge, try to eat only lean meats and veggies earlier in the day. It'll help offset the damage.

Try to get in a good workout those days before dinner too, if you can. The next day too. Put those calories to work!!!

I always tell myself I'll control the eating on these days but I get there and just end up pigging out. I remember seeing Jin post that he saved a slice of his daughter's birthday cake for after his cut. I need to be more like that.

Thank you for the suggestions CJ. At this point I'm pretty much taking in chicken breast, veggies, and egg whites. I'll throw some carbs in through starchy vegetables or pita pockets with my meals.

Last nights meal was amazing. The food was family style. Chicken parm sliders, tuna sashimi, beef skewers, bolognese, bruschetta flatbread pizza and eggplant parm. I have no clue what I took in for calories but I'll try to get in 4 weight vest walks this weekend and a decent paddle.

I've been sleeping in 10-15 minutes later and It has been causing me to rush my workouts. Just have to suck it up and get up at 4:15.

You are not alone brother. This continues to be a huge problem for me.
