Nice dude! How lean are you trying to get?

Roughly back to the leanness I was at when I weighed 178. By my estimation I would need to be 181-183 under the conservative assumption that I’ve gained 3-5 pounds of muscle + glycogen since mid July. My main concern is being in condition (Cardiocascularly, not in the bodybuilding sense) shape for the start of the pre-season so I see leanness as a means to that end more than just the end itself.

Week 3 day 3
Squats- these didn’t go well. these felt light when I unracked the weight but I wasn’t able to get my planned reps. Felt slow out of the hole. I think my decrease in performance on squats can be due to a combination of a few things. 1
1: now squatting 1x per week rather than 2x which I was doing leading up to my 305x2 and 255x5
2: I’m running and doing other conditioning work including sprinting and I wasn’t from mid October through mid December.
3. My BW is slightly lower
4 the weights in the gym close to home may be a bit heavier than the ones at the school gym. This sounds ridiculous but I’ve seem people weigh various “45 pound” plates and they range from 43-47 pounds.
285lbs
1x2, 2x1

Deadlifts- these felt pretty good. My mobility is now good enough to pull off the floor so I might do them without the 2-3 inch left elevation for my next training cycle
