Deadlift day yesterday was tough. Hit 525 for 3 yesterday and I had to tap out. Loading and unloading all that weight, warm up sets, and working sets had me feeling like I gave everything I had to those 3 reps

Today’s lifts were no bueno. Felt good leaving for the gym but had no pop ass session. Realized I’d been doing more running this week without a lot of carbs so the tank was a little empty. Going to have some oats tonight since I have Dead’s in the AM.

I had to stop running for now, the heavy lifting on top of trying to 20-25 miles a week were just too much on my body (dealing with a calf strain now). Hoping I can start again in a few months.
I almost never do but as the weight starts dropping you feel better and those Peleton classes start calling. I know my body so well I knew what it was this morning but wasn’t thinking about when I was doing the running.

I dont really count but...How low
I eat greek yogurt with fruit and cereal every morning.
The rest the day I eat fruit (or juice/smoothie) if I get hungry
Dinner I eat a lean protein, rice/potatoes and some vegetables (maybe a salad)
Last night I had sushi (Nigiri)...gained a bit of water weight but still feel good.
What I noticed is I dont have to skimp on the simple carbs...
doesnt really seem the affect my weight.
Doesnt really matter what I eat. I just keep the fat low and my body responds really well...
and I dont feel stuffed and bloated after dinner.
Don’t go to low. You need some dietary fat in your diet.
Nah, breh.
Tight is XL for me......which is a "try too hard" look. Something that I avoid.
Fit is XXL.

Getting older I started to incorporate more machine chest workouts to help save my shoulders. I did damage to my shoulders from playing football in high school and college, so switching to the machine helped save my shoulders.
When I younger I though machine workouts were lame, but I was young and uneducated.
