I’m pretty sure more protein is the answer to pretty much everything. You can’t go wrong with more water too.
So today I started the extra serving of protein. Basically instead of making 2 turkey burgers I made 3 and then a few hours later I had the 3rd burger with a little Ketchup. 27.5 extra grams of protein. That'll help.
I'm going to do more work with the Preacher machine, it seems to be the only movement that really isolates the biceps for me. The girls were distracting me a little today, running into me with their tight yoga pants.
Good stuff! Starving one's self never really seems to work and unless once you've reached full depletion you do the re-feed thing. I feel that is not necessary for regular people not on tons of drugs.
Went up a little bit. No question that little bit of extra protein everyday is making me feel better. I am not going to be eating enough for the next 7 weeks to really be able to get stronger but this is a pretty good compromise.
Notes:
Lost the groove and so failed for 3 at 205 but overall a hair stronger than last bench session. The Bench is something that I definitely want to bring up, so right now just trying to keep it from slipping while we finish leaning up so we can take a run at it from a better base.
Today starting the final cut. Not too much damage over the weekend and now we have 46 days to get this done. And except for a business dinner there's nothing to get in the way. It has to be done by then as after that we shift the focus back to size and strength.
Well I got the Covid. I knew there was something wrong when I slept for 18 hours straight. Weight is down to 176.8 this morning don't feel much like eating. Have to quarantine through Sunday. Probably next week wed get rolling again.
Just something to get going again. I've decided to do paused reps going forward on the Bench. I think it will force me to be more honest regarding the form. Also the tricep pump was shockingly remarkable.
