Katártisis: Tyrant's Training Log

Awesome work on the two PRs!! It’s wild how “just” a 10lbs difference sticks the weight to the floor.

Wrote up my current 4000+ kcal/day diet plan for accountability (haven’t been eating quite this much => haven’t been gaining) and thought I’d post for the curious. I usually lift on Tues/Weds morning due to my work schedule; at work, I have ~900kcal and 52g of protein worth of vegan chili over rice for lunch and 1-2 fat shakes on 15-minute breaks.

Max effort
2" elevated deadlift: 135, 225, 315x3, (+belt/straps) 365x2, 385x1, 400x3 (PR), 395x2, 365x3, 3, 3

  • Deadlifts felt pretty great today, especially off the floor; I like to think this is attributable to the 2 PB/banana sandwiches I had at work this morning and to the newly-added speed pulls on DL day
  • Think I figured out some of the wisdom behind high-rep squatting; today’s bottom-of-the-rep-range set felt comparatively easier since my heart wasn’t beating out of my chest, even though the weight is heavier
  • In other news, I banged my elbow on a doorframe this morning and it’s been feeling funny all day, hopefully it won’t cause any issues tomorrow

  • Weight gain seems to be moving in the right direction based on 1) a 189lb pre-workout weigh-in 2) noticably more tightness of the belt 3) how smooth things generally went in this workout
