Yesterday: calories~ 2071 protein 110
1.33 mile after dinner walk
today morning weight: 188@20.5%
had 3 servings of cottage cheese yesterday to get the protein up, feeling bloated today. I'm losing my liking of the cottage cheese, not because of the fluid retention, I just don't like it anymore.
Weight has been stuck here got to break through.
So I had a date night this past Saturday. And she said your body is looking good. So later I asked her what specifically? And she said the cuts by your chest. So I asked her 2 summers ago I was shredded and you never complimented me, why now?
Her answer: "You were kind of small then."
You’ve been lifting heavier. I bet you have put on size.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!! LOL!!! Gotta love a woman's honesty =)Quote:

Deadlift
135X10
185X10
225X10
275X12
315X9 (Grip)
335X3X3sets
3 minute rest on working sets.
Was planning on more work at 315, but the 275X12 burned me out and my left hand grip was failing at 315, so went just a little heavier. Went good!
Bench later.
Nice work!
I remember KK's old Deadlift videos where he would have a bar setup in a rack to where he'd only have to barely lift it up and would hold for max time 3-4 Sets. He would also on the final set of each Deadlift movement would hold the bar for max time. Both movements using his mixed Deadlift grip of course.

Bench
135X10
155X10
185X7,4,4,4,4
155X11 Ring on ring finger
CG Bench
135X10
Notes:
Good workout but a little weak. CG bench was a waste I was toast. The pump set I moved a finger wider and that felt really good. I am not sure why I am so weak on the bench. I'm just going to bake at 185 and try to grab reps. 5 sets and a pump set should be good. Maybe I needed to stay higher on the reps. We'll see on Sunday.

Still not budging.
Yeah, but flipping back a page here, you were a pound heavier 10 days ago. If you can keep that up it’s 3 lbs a month. Not bad.
You're right, in January I peaked at 193, it's just kind of stuck lately.Quote:

It's going to be close on the 4/1 goal.

Overhead Press
65X10
95X10
115X5X5sets
105X7
Barbell tricep extension behind neck
80X9,7,5,7
Bent Over Lateral Raises
15X30,17X3sets
Notes:
Was supposed to be back and bis but my hamstring was cramping on the pullups so had to stop. I'll try again later.
Bar speed at 115 could be better but I'm handling it.
You'll get there! Make sure you're getting enough electrolytes. I always add a NUUN tab in my super alkaline water while lifting and two in the summertime.

Pullups
25lbsX4,4,4,4,3,3,3
T-bar Row
120X10
130X10
140X10
150X10
160X6,5,5,6,6
Curls
95X4,3X6sets
Notes:
Was able to get the pullups without cramping. On the T-bar I think the high reps last time with 120 helped me. I've only got another 15 lbs I can add to the T-bar as I don't want to use the 45s because of the shortened range of motion. It'll take me a while to get there and I can grab a lot of reps, BUT maybe an excuse to get another pair of 35s that I wanted. Price has come down on those lately.
I am starting to feel like a tank and I have to say, it feels good!!!
If I could just bring that bench up and eliminate that embarrassment. LOL
I think I just need to be patient on it and it will come.
You earned it ;)Quote:

Every once in a while I'm just hungry. Yesterday I had 3 servings of cottage cheese and a piece of pie extra. Not surprised weight jumped a little today. Kids are in town this weekend, going to pick it back up on Tuesday, that's 3 months out from the vaca.
Made an 4 egg omelet with 6 ounces taco meat and 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese.
675 calories and 63 grams of protein and very very delicious.
