Also, I did a carb up fri night - sat night… (ok Fri I had some pizza … saturday carb up with ~600g carbs) and I weighed myself in the gym today at 186 … not cool. Either I wasn’t a lean as I thought I was when I started or I am losing too much

I’m not even goin to list the work out. It was shitty. Heart rate up the whole time. Felt sick.

Lower ME

Deadlift

My grip was fucking up. Even 295x5 was slipping and I was doing mixed grip… I think I’m going to sneak in chalk until they say something to me.

I tried to switch it up and do DB split squat but I can never get my footing down right and it fucks with my ankle.

Starting with

Bench ME (est max 225)

Week 3 - 75x5, 85x3, 95x1
168.75x5, 191.25x3, 213.75x1
(165x5, 190x3, 210x1)

Bench DE
Week 1 ? 50% for 8 sets 3 reps followed by 2 sets 5 reps with 60%
112.5x3x8, 135x5x2
