I can’t believe how dedicated you are. I’ve been fat (for me) for just a few months and I’m out!

You’re very kind, but remember that I’ve been properly fat before. I can tell the difference between then and now. I also realised that while being lean was a good experience and it’s great to know I can get there; I hate how small and weak I was. That’s not me. I’m sure I’m going to get lean again one day, but I damn sure won’t be as weak or small

I’ve been chubby but never properly fat. I guess I don’t like it. I wasn’t going to quit early but these nagging injuries have destroyed my motivation. I’m doing weird one armed workouts so I figured it’s time to cut back on the animal crackers.

Todays training
McGill big three, reverse hyper, air squats
Squat, walked out
5xbar/66 lbs
5xplate/154 lbs
5x3x251 lbs
All up 45 minutes
Weight moved well but joints very clearly glad it wasn’t heavier. Good timing for the deload, knowing I could (probably) push a full week if I had to to but not having to.

Woke at 247.6 lbs again, looking very similar to yesterday.
Todays training
Chad Aichs lower back stretch, SuperD shoulder stabilisation thing, band work, six pullups, hand release pushups
That was just 10 minutes, probably worth keeping
Bench press
2x5xbar
5x3x137 lbs - Greg said move my feet an inch further forward, so worked on that. Seems to have improved leg drive. Gee, what a surprise.
Tried the lat stretch I saw on De Franco’s IG, 10/10 would recommend

Woke at 245.8 lbs, looking a bit bloated? Not sure where the drop came from. Dehydration
I guess.

Woke at 246 lbs, looking much the same as yesterday. Pretty much no bloat. WTF though? Hydrated fine yesterday and ate plenty.
Also, yesterdays training
McGill big three, reverse hyper
DL, stiff bar
5xbar
5xplate
3x2 plates
5x3x281 lbs
Wider stance and improved bracing making a hell of a difference. I think the McGill big three help with the bracing.
All up 40 minutes.

Woke at 245.8 lbs, some wateriness and a little bloating. I made burgers for dinner so that explains the wateriness although the drop is weird.

Woke at 246 lbs, looking similar to yesterday. I’m really hoping I don’t need to start eating more.

Last hour or so of work was tidying our board storage. They range in size from around 800x300 to 2400x1700. So yeah, that wasn’t exactly a cakewalk.
