Its totally possible that its accurate! You can walk 5 miles easy if you aren’t thinking about it.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. Unless you WERE upping your intake to match reduced food intake, salt was gonna drop. Food is a primary source of salt and electrolytes for most folks, and for athletes especially we have to be conscious of it when we reduce
Yeah… i absolutely didnt factor the possible impact jumping in.

Well, how much and meal frequency.
Im eating at the moment 4 times.
The app got me slightly under 2500 with a maintenance level of about 3200.
Dumping allot of water weight so far. When i enter my bodyweight Sunday morning the app will be like , WTF!? Curious to see the caloric adjustment it will do.
App gave me a early weigh in option yesterday.
As i knew going in i would probably loose more than the parameters i had preset. Ended up down by 5 lbs in 6 days. ( of course mostly in water weight)
In response the app upped my cals several hundred a day to keep me in the pre set limits.
From experience i do expect next weekend the app will drop the cals back down.

Bro you got a kickass physique, I’ve briefly stopped by from time to time to read your log but I’m curious, what are your best S/B/D Numbers?
Just for clarfication any recent pics for clarification " pup" is my oldest.
My numbers are currently shit. Been off serious lifting for 3 years.
Numbers that i take a little pride in from the past
Bench 365x8
Squat 405 x 15 several years ago… 315 x 30( in my youth)
Seated BTNP: 315 x 1
Deadlift… we dont talk about that its always been shit. 600 thats it.
( i hate to add… those are without " supplements ")
Nothing elite… but above average in some cases.
Anymore between internet lifting and all the gear who can really say.
Plus im getting old @ 53..been doing this shit on and off since i was a teen. With battle damage . Getting older is a bitch.

Yep. Stay with what works for you.
Wouldn’t hurt, especially at your age, to find an endocrinologist and get your hormones checked. Might make weight loss infinitely easier.

@KonsuTheTraveller … after thinking about it i made a correction above after double checking. I squatted 405 x 15 once.
See…old age my memory is going

That’s solid dude, I’m surprised your pull was at 600 usually with that type of leg strength most guys are around mid 600s
your bench ratio is pretty crazy though, I’m guessing you got more of a bench/squat build? Or was the deadlift one of those lifts you didn’t train particularly often ?
/
Oh i use to train conventional deads .Just not built for it.
Long torso : check
Medium to short arms : check.
Short legs : check.
Dont have the proper hip mobility for sumo: check
My lock out is damn near Penis height…lol
Deadlifts are of the DEVIL !
My oldest son is the complete opposite. His bench sucks but he loves to pull.
