Then do this. There are so many exercises, so many programs just do what you really want to do. Try everything and then stick with what works. Looking at the list above it’s not like you are wanting to do easy shit to avoid actual hard work so just do what makes you happy.
Typical sign of overtraining/ under recovering/ under eating
@kdjohn@cyclonengineer@hustlinghat93 Thanks for the advice. I will have some fun these next few weeks and get back on track when I get back to school
I think another part of this slump is that I feel discouraged.
I need a 210 squat, 315 deadlift, and 150 bench to get back to my pre-pandemic strength levels (adjusted for bodyweight) and I’m currently at a 195squat, 250 deadlift and 125 bench, so a LONG way to go. I hope to hit 330+ on dead, 225+ on squat and 140 bench by my birthday at 103lbs. If I get interrupted again, I really don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it
felt pretty good, the weighted walk was easier than expected. Turns out not having the KB digging into my back makes a huge difference in completability, upper back was tired so pullups weren’t great, got HR up though
Sidenote: I’m consistently weightin in around 104lbs so I might have randomly gained another lb??? not too made b/c I look just as lean, if not leaner. I just listened to a podcast and they said that it’s okay to be 3-5% above weight class, so I’m still in range. The random weight gain is still a bit concerning though because I haven’t been intentionally eating in a surplus or moving less. Maybe it’s my subconciously decreased intensity in the gym?
You’ve already proven you have the craziest work ethic known to man. Time to pump those numbers way up and have a coach walk you through a proper cut/prep and smash some world records in the tiny people class
I’m going to be following a program that was delivering very solid results for me before the pandemic fucked everything up
I will also be paying more attention to nutrition (will be buying and making own food instead of relying on crap school food) I’ll also cut out the processed crap that crept in when I was at school (candy, crap bars)
THe plan is to play around until 8/18, then jump into Sheiko intermediate, which will take 3 months. After that, probably deep water beginner, then maybe Sheiko advanced
Fitness: Get strong at squat bench deadlift while maintaining a respectable body comp.
Life: get into grad school → get a respectable job at some uni, become professionally successful, start a dinner club, design clothes and jewelry
