Weighed in at 182.8, 183.0, 182.8 the last three days so my weight is steadily going up again after kind of treading water for a while. Almost to my goal of 185 (the weight I started at a little over a year ago)

I'm really getting tired of closing my Monday with squats. Even though I arrive at the gym right as it opens, other people rush to the squat racks, and I have to wait for ages to get one. I feel drained before I can even start.

The cost really can add up though lol. Definitely worth it for me but I can see why it's not for everyone

Took a recovery week. Starting this week off stronger at least on one lift.

My one armed barbell bench press is coming along nicely. My core has gotten to the point where it's not what's impeding my progress. I'm able to just kind of lift and have some linear progression atm. While this doesn't give me quite the pure chest workout as the two handed version, I definitely like the effect that it's having on my stabilizing muscles. That's helping my big lifts too. I'm only doing it once a week, so I'm definitely keeping it in my routine.

Anyway, trying to cut again. Saw a friend for the first time in 3 months. They said I've noticeably put on weight. Good kind in the arms. Not good in mid section. Vanity is a huge motivator for me, so hopefully this sticks.

Even just from your progress pictures your changes are noticeable. Probably moreso in person

I'm probably going to complain about this hypertrophy routine until I switch to something else...

Today had deadlifts and incline bench as my focal lifts. I've been lifting for years but I'm practically untrained in deadlift when compared to other movements. During my warm up, I hit an all-time best of 325. Then I dropped down to 195 for the work sets. I exceeded my target rep count for my first time so that's an accomplishment.

On incline, my sets were run at 145. I hit the target reps for my first time on that lift. I think I'm finally adjusting to the high reps involved. Finished with back and biceps work and left after about an hour and 15 minutes.

Not completely untrained though. I would just say that deadlifts are untrained in comparison to other lifts. They've only been a part of my routine for little over a year. I do weigh about 250lbs as well, and as a reference, my bench 1 rep max was last recorded at 345. That deadlift is low compared to expected numbers for someone with my stats.

Feeling pretty good about my progress over all. It's not earth shattering but it's sustainable. Gained about 20 pounds in about four months, squats went from 240x7 to 277.5x7, ohp from 107.5x2 to 120x4, bench 167.5x2 to 170x6

Been about a year since these topics started now, though I kind of stopped making them for a while and they fell off. Missing the camaraderie and activity of those early quarantine days. Been thinking of doing a blogspot thing like ppp and emevas do

Saturday is usually my heavy lifting day. It went poorly in that regard because I had to work and was tirrd. I was mentally burnt out so I just kind of zoned out and went more towards endurance instead.

Anyway, sore as hell today. Down 9 lbs since last week though. That won't continue at the same rate but still it's a step in the right direction. Hoping for 5ish this week and then I'll probably be at the point where I'm only losing 1 a week.

I was gonna post progress reports each week. I started dieting n exercising again. I used to train mixed martial arts so luckily Ive got a very strong sense of focus when getting into shape, I was just depressed the last 3 months eating nothing but pizza and ice cream lmao. But Im out of that funk. Anyway Ill just skip last two weeks n start with today. Regimen: same meals each day banana/all bran cereal/tuna on wheat/carrots/applesauce/shamrock protein shake/some random protein snack/Morningstar veggie meal/broccoli
8 min abs on YouTube each day
alternate chest/arms with leg/core 5x a week
run 5x a week. Cardio is the most important thing for anyone. The better cardio you have the better shot you have of taking punches kicks etc without getting knocked out. Its why the Diaz brothers are so hard to knock out.

todays progress pic (apparently I can only fit one into a gamefaqs post???)


ill keep updating each Sunday if this threads around. my goal is visible abs and a return to my old cardio level (5 miles in 35 mins was my old pace)

I've been bulking since November, been thinking about switching gears but it's so much easier to put weight on the bar when I'm gaining. Don't really want to give that up.

I did that for a month last year. Also lots of alcohol too. Getting started back up is the hardest part.

At this pace this topic is gonna last til 2022 lool
