That’s one hell of a compliment! Thanks!

It’s also because when I wake up, I’ll check the website while still waking up. Then I see you’ve updated your log 30mins before I opened my eyes!

Fasted. Everything was slow this morning. Not like grindy slow, but slow-motion slow. All of the lifts felt really solid, despite moving like a sloth. (Or maybe because I was moving like a sloth?)

Easy Strength for Fat Loss

Monday - 12 February 2024
Workout: Conditioning, 1745-1820 (35 minutes)

Push-up - 25, 25

??? - AMRAP, 15 minutes
Assault bike - 12 cal
Bench press - 225 lbs - 5
Alternating lateral squat - L/R - 50 lbs - 10
Rounds: 4 + 12 (5 full rounds in +2:30)

Bench press - 225 lbs - 5

Still in sloth mode…

Really, though, 10 reps of each leg with those lateral squats took a long time. Not to mention how hard mixing those up with 12 calories on the bike proved to be.

Oh, and I did another set of 5 reps on bench, and then very quickly into the last set of push-ups. Pump City, baby!

Is this the main goal right now ?

@simo74 - In a word, yes.

Really, though, I’m trying to undo all of the bad things that happened during Super Squats (no conditioning, no deadlifting, fat gain) while retaining the good things (work ethic, squat strength, muscle gain).

Maybe I’m trying to ride too many horses with my one ass?

It DID get really big during Super Squats—seriously, though, go checkout the freeze frame of the videos from my first workout to my last—so I’m going to ride all of these horses just as long as I can, haha!

I don’t think so, if you get really lean there will be some reduction in your 1RM for squat but that doesn’t really mean you lost the strength.

I have 3 more weeks of this bulk and then I will be riding the plains with you mate.

Fasted. I’ve been very groggy in the mornings this week. Chins and the last set of deads felt pretty good today, the rest of it felt way harder than it should have.
