Makes me feel old in a way my receding hairline and ālaughter linesā donāt.
I think youāre using knee sleeves wrong my dude.

Yeah mate, just go with the calculations and donāt stress if you overshoot. The app will keep you on the right track.
I can only imagine 1700 will be compensated with higher calorie days, more likely to be friday or sunday

Does it adjust through the week then? Because thatās going to be a right pain in the arse, I meal plan and prep over a week in advance in some cases.
You input the calories you ate at the end of the day and it will calculate the rest of the days based on your input.
Look man, meal prep is way too anal if you ask me. Fat loss should be locked into the same 3/4 meals while having some degree of flexibility. I could meal prep but I know my brain is gonna be hunting for something different come Tuesday. Just my take on it. Iām sure folk will pick this apart however it worked very well for me

Canāt argue with results mate. For me, I know that if I donāt plan and prep, I eat crap 10/10 and get more stressed and spend more money. Which is a lose-lose-lose. Far more effective for me to plan my meals in advance, then shop to those meals.
Iām going to try and use it my way and see how it shakes out. I can see me having fun trying to trick this thing into giving me more food.
Edit: also, how does this shit work with weigh ins and the like? Does it tell you when to do it or do you just update whenever you want? I donāt know if youāve noticed but Iāve read none of the instructions.
Like a true man.

@Cyrrex I prefer to let mine hang loose and use it as a depth gauge. Donāt want no quarter squats (not naming any Cornish names here)
Work for today:
Jumps: 3 x 5
Front Squat ss. Pull ups;
5 x 60kg
5 x 70kg
5 x 80kg
Back Squat:
20 x 80kg
Giant Set (5 rounds):
10 x Press @ 40kg
20 x Air Squat
20 x Swings (36kg)
2 x 5 half kneeling press
W2D3 Couch to 5k
Notes:
- Today was a drag, honestly. Really had to lie to myself a lot here. Not sure how much of that is lethargy from being so uncharacteristically inactive this week. Also starting to feel some depression-like symptoms (very light) which I assume to be related.
- Squats all feel strong as anything. Maybe expected at such light weights. I can still feel myself leaning forward and taking some of the weight on my hands in the front squat though, need to consciously move more upright there. As always with backsquat these days, lungs and neck pain continue to be the limiting factors.
- Press felt stupidly light, even at FSL weights. Really tried to execute every rep perfectly to dial up the intensity but this last part of the workout felt like more of a conditioning/mindset challenge than anything.
- Half kneeling presses were done because I felt my hip flexors getting really, really tight on the last two rounds. Canāt say this helped particularly, I think walking lunges might have been a better choice.
- Run was really sucky. Legs felt fine 5s before starting. By 5s into the first walk, they felt like jelly. Running still absolutely sucks.

I do, but this is a relatively new pain that feels like a strain in the neck/traps. It can also be an issue on press and even causes a blurring of vision if it gets really bad. I can mitigate the issues on press somewhat by stretching first, but nothing seems to be a complete solution on squats.
That doesnāt sound great, did/does ssb cause any issues?

Only used it a few times, and it would have been before this started to become an issue, but not that I remember, no. The worst bit is invariably racking the bar, specifically the looking to the sides to make sure its racked properly.
As my recent squat video proves, you donāt need to look.

I donāt have safeties, itās just a basic squat stand. So looking is kinda important.
Yeah meal prep is great because you get elss tempted, you already have your meal waiting for you, just ready to be eaten.
To me though, it has zero effect. I might have my meal prepped, if I want to eat something else, I will.
So I prep zero meal except for when I go to school. I like living on the edge.

I call meal prep āpacking a lunchā.
Itās healthier, less calories, and saves me money.
