Notes:
We'll see if the weight bounces it usually does after a drop. I ordered whey isolate for the upcoming clean bulk. I've heard there's a movement towards plant based protein powders, not sure about that though. I want to increase my daily protein intake by 50 grams.

Yesterdays weight: 174.6
Notes:
I decided to skip the running and get back on the hill with the vest which is more of a strength workout. So for the legs twice on the hill and once a week deadlifts till the equipment comes in. I think pushups twice a week trying to up the rep count on the 10 sets. I'll have to get some other stuff in for the upper body. Added a protein shake in the morning and extra protein at the end of the day ~ 250 calories/day.

Morning weight: 174 @ 17.1% bodyfat
Notes:
Finally hit the goal weight which basically was my college weight. I still have 5lbs of fat I could lose if I really wanted to be shredded, but I don't need to get lighter, I just need to regain some of the muscle that I've lost and keep the weight steady. Abs look good, but there is still some fat behind the obliques and the lower abs still have a little bit of fat, but that seems to be thinning out, there is a visible vein running down my lower abs so it ain't much. I started the leaning out part of this journey on March 25th 2015 @ 202.2. On May 11th of that year I went for hydrostatic bodyfat testing at the university of IL. The results were 197.2 @ 21.72% body fat. I took readings before and after with my body fat scale and there was a setting that gave exactly the same reading, so I've been using that as a guideline.
28.2lb weight loss, ~ 10lbs of muscle lost. I don't know how much muscle I can get back. 5lbs would be ideal, but even just a few 2-3 lbs would be good and I definitely feel I can do that.
That's the next goal, to put on some muscle. Equipment arrives tomorrow so it's good timing.
Git r dun!!!

20 flights on the sledding hill with the 40lb vest @ 36:54
Pushups
50,15,10X8 sets
1 minute rest
Notes:
Had the vegetable protein this morning and it made me slightly nauseous again. I drove out to the range this morning so it didn't affect my workout, that was a good time on the hill.
I could not recover after that first set of fifty pushups with only the 1 minute rest. Hopefully we'll be benching soon.
The first of the packages of the power rack arrived today. The second arrives tomorrow and the bench is supposed to be here Monday. I also ordered a couple of 10lb olympic weight plates for which I was raped, but I need them. I had to remove some shelves and move the deadlift platform to get things ready to setup the power rack. The Titan power rack uprights are ridiculously stout.
I was scheduled to run today but once I hit the 174 my mind is all about putting on 5 lbs of muscle.

It was so nice to work out in the basement with the cage. The only thing is to figure out what workouts to get in given my schedule. I for sure need to focus on the upper body because I lost a lot there.
