This is after work, sitting at 253.3 lbs. That’s three meals and six to seven litres of fluid since waking.
Weights getting up there my friend. At my heaviest I was hovered a couple of kg up or down from where you are. I was doing tons of conditioning stuff, sled drags, using a heavy sledge on tyre, walking etc I felt strong under the bar but felt fairly shit otherwise.
How you feeling with it?

I feel pretty good. No issues at work unless it’s fitting in a small space or gap. I’ve got to be a bit more careful about sleeping on my back rather than my sides if I can manage it just because my arms can go numb. Apart from that I don’t really feel much different.

Woke at 252.6 lbs, looking less bloated than the past few days.
They tend to keep company @mortdk
@simo74 might look like a strongman until I try doing strongman stuff.

High bar with my normal stance isn’t a disgusting way to squat, it’s just way less stable and powerful

They were easy. Goes to show doing a bunch of benching before pressing makes it harder. Pretty sure my press is close to or at two plates now, not that I’m likely to find out anytime soon.

TBH neither were heavy so it’s not that big a deal. Also the squats were for less than 10 which is a rare mercy.

Woke at 253.3 lbs, looking similar to yesterday if a bit less bloated. That’s a pleasant surprise because yesterday I wasn’t sure I ate enough while being sure it definitely wasn’t the macro split I like.

Some air squats and a couple of brace and holds while Jay squatted
5x3x264 lbs
All up may be 15 minutes, definitely no longer
Look, it’s deload. I’m tired because I stayed up late like a moron. Tossed up going or not and decided to just squat and leave. Should have been 253 lbs but the bar was already loaded.
