Haha well the good news is you’re like 6 inches taller than me so when you fill out some more you will just be much more impressive looking all the time, where I have to get super lean and take my shirt off.

Oh and by the way the lowest my weight got was 162

Looking swole bro.

haha thanks for stopping by man, I appreciate the comment

It’s been a while, finally something relatively worthy of an update:

So I think I overdieted back in June. Basically went too restrictive/too low BF while also having too much life stress/not enough sleep/etc, call it overtrained, call it whatever you want, basically I lost a bunch of strength, felt like absolute dump and lost my motivation for eating well/working out hard. For about 2.5 months in the summer I ate lots of everything. To make matters worse, for a month of that my neck was hurt so I was barely lifting, while eating way too much, and the rest of the summer as well I went on trips and so on, still getting to the gym but not as much. I did have a lot of fun, but I got in significantly worse shape over that time period, and did not gain back the strength I lost when dieting, because I wasn’t doing the right things.

HOWEVER

September came, routine returned (with a much less stressful schedule), and I’ve been killing it for 6-7 weeks. I’ve gotten noticeably leaner and stronger (and looking a bit bigger) while losing a bit of weight (was up to about 181-183, now at about 175-178).

So, deadlift news: My PR was 520, and 495x2. 7 weeks ago I could not get 495, since then I got 495x1, then 2 weeks later 495x2, the next week 495x3, and today 505x3! Best progress I’ve experienced in a long time. All of those were dead stop reps, so I feel like I must be good for a big ol 1 rep pr soon. My plan for the next 6-8 months is focus on eating well and having awesome workouts, while staying around 175 pounds, and continue to slowly get leaner/stronger at this bodyweight. Also get that 2x bodyweight bench press sometime finally.

Deadlifted 535! That’s a 15 pound PR, pretty happy about that, really good workouts lately.

Mmmm yes good.

Thank you good sir. Good to see you logging again as well, I’m following, I just haven’t posted in it because then when I click on it it takes me to my post, instead of the most recent post, which is inconvenient.

Well that is probably my favorite compliment ever! Thanks Spock!

Deadlift 495x4 today, dead stop reps. I don’t know what’s happening but I like it.

Edit: And bodyweight: 174 this morning.
