Took yesterday off. The right side of my upper back was pinching, which flares golfers elbow and pain in my wrists.
4/21
Morning workout:
50 Unracked reps with 135lb back squat.
20 single arm KB press
Weight is holding at 209.6-209.8. I think I look even leaner, and I belt is way too big now. Just a waiting game for the scale to reflect it.
Spent the afternoon through now working on our yard to get ready to sell. Weighed my self, fully clothed and belly full, .5lbs over my previous low. Think tomorrow morning is gonna be a good day 
I woke up at 206.6 this morning, which is down 3lbs. Haven’t lifted today, but did more yard work. I might try and get some swings in tonight… things are getting sexy. 
Congrats on the new low brother! Keep pushing just, 6 weeks out!
Thanks man!
Celebrated my dad’s birthday tonight. I had one snack size candy bar, 1/2 a finger of scotch and a glass of wine. Other than that, I was good and kept to keto foods. My wife made the below French keto pie. I can’t even describe how delicious it was. It didn’t even have the ‘fake’ delicious taste. ha
A lil heavier today, which is due to the alcohol. I actually get horrible last night as my body processed the sugar alcohol.
Fasted all morning, drank a ton of water and am now eating a three egg Thai omelet on arugula.
First real workout in almost a week. I’ve been avoiding chest, cause I hate chest day.

Are you serious? I thought i was the only one who hated chest aha
I have very limited equipment to use and have struggled with shoulder issues my whole life. Aside from that, it’s common belief that the pecs get in the way of throwing a baseball, I spent my younger childhood doing very minimal chest work so my shoulders and arms take over.

It’s hard af lifting heavy in the morning. I’m getting too busy at night to lift, and after last weeks lack of formal workout and meetings tonight and tomorrow night, I figured was time to adjust things. I’ll hit a heavy workout in the morning and a light circuit style with KBs at night, after dinner.

Day two of morning workouts… today was ok. Probably took too many stimulants first thing, stomach hates me and then heart was racing faster than I wanted after each set.
Is there much difference between normal pressing and axle pressing? I understand for rows or deads it would make a significant difference but presses?
Presses, I feel, is more difficult. It requires more forearm and shoulder stabilization.
For benching, I think it’s fairly similar. I don’t see a lack of strength with an axle. @T3hPwnisher might have some more thoughts.
Morning weight: 206.4 - half a lb down
I am feeling way smaller these days. Abs are really coming in. Arms are tighter, legs separate much more. I’m excited to see what happens at 200lbs.
Had maybe 10 minutes to workout this morning. I was 5 minutes late to a meeting because I did. Haha

Did 8x5 alternating arms without pause.
40lb KB Rows
3x20
Afternoon:
2 hour practice. Hit infield outfield for the team and put 6 balls over the 375’ fence with a wood bat. Pretty cool, I hit one that bounced off the top of the wall. A player bet me $10 I couldn’t do it again. I hit the next one less than 6" over. When it came my time to finally hit BP, I had nothing left. I’m going to transition out of Keto on the 18th and call it for the contest or just low cal it the traditional way.
Contest? Is there a baseball comp coming up?
Baseball season starts June 1. I was referring to the Transformation contest on this site.
5/1
Just did some OHP work.

Morning
FIrst set of squats back was tight and hip popped a bit. Did some KB swing and goblet squats to get warmed up. Then hit 135 for 20 and wasn’t feeling it. Backed off, went inside, ate breakfast and felt depressed at how flat, weak and depleted I am. Good thing I’m almost done. I’m getting tired of low calories and bad workouts.
Decided I’m done with Keto today. I’m going to bump my calories up to 2,500 and jump on 5/3/1. Anticipate weight going up to 210-215 in the next few days. I’ll stay at 2500 through June 1, then bump up to 2,800 and see how that goes. I’ve got my anniversary on Thursday then a game on Sunday and flying to Arizona. So, doesn’t make sense to do Keto with those carbfilled occasions
Here’s my depleted after work photo. Hoping tomorrow after I carb up I’ll feel normal.
But you were starting to look shredded
