I feel this is accurate for me too. I just need to learn when to make changes more efficiently.

Where does he have to go?
This way of thinking is bro-ish and it doesnt work. At a certain deficit as long as diet and lifestyle remains the same he will lose 1200kcal worth of fat a day until he is at a weight that can be maintained at the kcals he eats.
So if he cuts twice as slow, he will just reach a maintenance weight in a 600kcal deficit and then will have to cut the 600kcals again. At the end of the whole process he will have lost weight twice as slow just to end up with the same deficit, only after months.
1200kcal worth of fat is, lets just round it to 2lbs a week. It means he will do this 10 weeks and maybe stall.
If he does 600kcal worth a deficit he loses 1lb a week, stall in 10 weeks, and need to cut down 600kcal more to lose another 10 in another 10 weeks. At the end, he either lost 20lbs in 10 weeks or 20lbs in 20 weeks, but he ends up with the same weight and the same deficit.
This idea of “where will you go” doesnt work. It is often also used for Pharma, like “if you start with 1g of test and 1g of tren, where will you go”. Nowhere. No one goes anywhere he will just gain the muscle these compounds and doses allows him to gain until he maxes out. Just because someone starts at half the speed it doesnt mean he will need less at the end. He will just need twice as much time.
Also, 1200kcal deficit is not even that much of a deficit for someone who has enough fat. In fact i would suggest him cutting like this or faster while he is fat and REDUCE the deficit as he gets leaner, because the leaner you get the more muscle you lose on a deficit.
Okay so I trained my day 3 last week, I just didn’t log it. I’m going to swap out the 531 style Weighted Pull Ups and Yates Row… too time consuming and probably not enough juice for the squeeze. Still going to train these movement patterns, just not 531 style.

Blaming carbs >150g on 3 different days, only training 3x last week, and the metric fuckton of stress I was under pretty much all week. Super stressful work, stressful finances, expensive ass LA birthday party, no days off, not getting along with wife (mostly finance related), overburdened by school and overtime… so cortisol is probs off the chart. Fingers crossed for a better week, which will probably start after I get home at midnight tonight from class 
At least weight is trending downwards after being up early last week.
EDIT
have been toying with the thought of doing full-on DoggCrapp training again. That or the Jordan Peters Full Body series as mentioned/inspired by @throwawayfitness. I already have the book 
I think you should go full on DC training. The only reason I suggest that is that you always talk about it fondly so I’m assuming it will be fun and motivational for you.
I actually gained some good size on DC training before but I didn’t stick with it. Can’t remember why though. It gave good results.
I might end up doing a lot better this way frankly. No more OHP and Deads for a bit… that wouldn’t really be that big of a deal, they wear me out before I even get to the important stuff.
More contemplating on my training ADHD and we’ll see what happens!

Got a finance app, going to make some changes so we can stack some racks for once. Will probably cause short term increases in stress, but will help long term.
Need to catch up on water, feeling dehydrated AF.

Talked about DoggCrapp too much, couldn’t resist. Going to stop changing my log name because my program ADD is far too obvious lol.
Same plan as programmed earlier this year (like January), need to give it a fair shot this time.

Had no time to eat after making meal prep, couldn’t even touch rice and eggs after the chicken. Extra 4oz did the trick I guess.
Hope you feel more settled at this programme

Killed the snooze button at 4am, went in to crush some overtime, now it’s time to crush it in the gym. Fuck laziness.
Those are words I hope to never write. 
Sounds repulsive.
teardrop, lats and abs. well done.
Maybe I’m too deep into dieting to notice, but it tastes the same as regular Jello brand pudding to me.
Its a great dieting hack, but not when you smash ~1000 grams of it in a sitting lol.
Thank you for the words, and thank you for the motivation you’ve given me. Good progress to date, more to go. It’s grind time.
Yeah looking great dude. I’d be happy with your physique if I looked like that. Carey on the great work!
