My lower body has gone on strike…

Mine hurts too. The lunges were not the smartest idea on my part…

I’m honestly tempted to do it again tomorrow just to see if I can beat logonator
Week 2: day2
Time: 37:36. Strength: pistols w/kB
- physically felt good going in- mentally a bit slower, felt better once I got going, managed to get 3 rounds with unbroken 50rep sets, really tried to pushed it
Side note: I woke up 2lbs heavier but look leaner (even my mom noticed)- I’d call that a win!

Well… serious hunger set in. our family friends brought over a half rack of ribs. I polished them off… after dinner of fish and roasted sprouts.
I still want more grapes
Week 2: day3
Time: 34:32. Strength: goblet squat- triple reps
- really pushed it (looks like those ribs and grapes helped ), only got 2 rounds wit unbroken 50rep sets but cut rests
Single leg rdl: 2x12/side- 25lb kb
… now I want to go back to bed…then stay there and eat… at the same time, I’m tempted to make up for the 3-500surplus I ended up in yesterday
Also, @flappinit @kdjohn my wrists are getting fatigued. Is that normal or a form issue

Going back to bed and eating at least maintenance today would be the best course of action for your physique and performance.

What are you weighing these days? You should be aiming for the surplus every single day.
Good job on the latest workouts.

Hovering between 41 and 41.5kg but the scale is different
What’s your weight delta per week/month?
I started at 39,5 some time ago and now I’m at 41-41.5
I’m not a spreadsheet/numbers person
So 2-3 lbs since the start of the year? Not terrible but you can definitely double that rate.
Again, surplus everyday. Stop thinking of calories as something you need to work off.
Kilos, my man. My 4 year old weighs more than 41.5lbs
It doesn’t undermine your point though, that’s a pretty small increase for someone who’s low body fat is actively harming their health (I assume this is still true, since you’ve dodged this question a few times now)

I remember her being about 40kg at the start of the year and now she’s 41-41.5 … hence 2-3 lbs.
Baby steps though. If she can double that rate she’ll be 100 lbs by the end of summer.

40min easy run
Push-ups: 8x20 EMOM
- lower body felt pretty crap and tired so took it easy
Still want to sleep and shovel down meat
I don’t really want to go over 43kg (lowest weight class)
Get to 45 then its an easy cut back to 45

When I get back to Shanghai sometime hopefully soon and will be put in quarantine for 2 weeks in a hotel (literally can’t leave the room), could I use my wrist wraps to do bfr stuff?
Ie push-ups, pistols, lunges
No idea. I’ve never seen any compelling research on BFR myself, and don’t know of anyone serious using it regularly.
Id stick to basic concepts, hard variations for sufficient volume.
For legs strict pistols and high box (chair?) step-ups should be plenty.
Feel free to add the BFR, but don’t suddenly think high rep easy work will have any strength stimulus.

I was just thinking of using it as a temporary measure for those 2 weeks where I’ll have 0 weights
At least I hav a 25lb kb now
