aight - 3 days of madabolic, 2 days full body, one day of unilateral leg work on my left side only - sounds weird but the strength differential between my two legs is ridiculous, makes no sense to train the right

Got gutter splashed by a car. 
they did that shyt on purpose. For someone like me, a germaphobe, that is the WOAT thing that could’ve happened. fukking oil, pissy dirty water all over me 
had to thug it out and still go to the gym tho. Got all my gear in the washer and washed my hair even tho I just washed it Friday. Gross. Gonna have to empty my backpack and put that in the wash too

Manager schedules a meeting for 8:30 PST/11:30 EST so I had to condense my back day. Was still able to get in my jump rope, DL, cable row, lat pull downs, T-rows and shrugs.
Rush to the meeting and once I get on he's like "I just added you to the meeting so you're on the meeting thread. You don't need to actually attend man, its late for you"

Really liking where I am with this cut. My lifts have stalled (expected), but my frame is looking more defined. Cardio endurance is also getting much better.
Even better is my body has adjusted well to eating below maintenance now that I’ve really dialed in on the diet.
Good progress so far. Even better is the boot is slowly but surely compressing the swelling out of my ankle. Y’all really don’t know how happy I am right now.

yall act like it's as simple as CICO, and it likely is, but the scale be on some fukk shyt and that's where it complicates things for people. 3 weeks ago i was steadily going down, had dropped 9 lbs., then last week it shot up 5lbs - there's absolutely nothing i could've done to gain a real 5 - and has only gone down 1lb since then this is why i weigh myself daily, i need to see if there's a trend vs weighing every couple weeks when weight can jump up or down.
i am so annoyed tho...like WTF, i was on my way to my 15 and literally got stalled out it's always a battle between starve or eat enough to not pass out during exercise, body seems to hate to do both

A lot of people would give up after an unwarranted increase. I know you won’t but it’s more about people wanting the quick fix. After that first 8-10 water dump I expect things to always slow down.yall act like it's as simple as CICO, and it likely is, but the scale be on some fukk shyt and that's where it complicates things for people. 3 weeks ago i was steadily going down, had dropped 9 lbs., then last week it shot up 5lbs - there's absolutely nothing i could've done to gain a real 5 - and has only gone down 1lb since then

Better yet people just make drastic change that gets immediate results and act like there body won’t figure it out and adapt.
That’s why the responses in TLR kill me.
“How do I lose weight?”
“Lift 4 to times a week. Do HIIT 4 times a week and eat once a day!”

i don't know, after 15 yrs in this game, i legit feel like my body doesn't know how to lose weight and workout. i either gotta just workout (that means weights and/or cardio) 2-3 times a week and starve or just focus on working out and letting my weight just do whatever the fukk it wants. why can't this bytch ever cooperate!I mean it is as simple as CICO but also it’s not.

Knowing me and soccer, I’ll probably do it myself
I was playing 4x a week in college and my first 2yrs post-grad between intramurals, pick up and league.
I’m looking to get back to at least 2-3x once summer starts. Hence the need to really get this ankle back.

Low carb?
Is it a scale weight or body comp issue?
dora_da_destroyer
Master Baker
nah, carbs not as high as "the daily recommendation" but because i lift, i try to get a couple of servings of starchy carbs (potatoes, torille, cereal, bread, etc) and 1-2 servings of fruit
both need to happen, lost lean mass over the last 1.5yrs and gained. so scale weight should be moving, would be one thing if i was 10-15 within goal, but i need to drop 20-30. could just stop strength training and do LISS + diet, but since I already lost lean mass, not trying to be
. could possibly be muscle being put back on, but i'm not feeling smaller
