How do you know the calories expended with your training?

It gives me the estimated expenditure and the heart rate curve

hahaha,

Oh dear, thank you for remember!

I am heart-splitted (don“t know if it means exactly what I will describe).
I have a training log in a cyberspace here, in Brazil. An old one. I was missing them too.

January I ran 5/3/1 here.
Frebruary, on the other hand, I am logging there.

On March… ā€œI will be back!ā€.

~13 pounds until here

Love you all

I think you have a few more pounds in ya. You took a long road to get to the top set and the fatigue was starting to show.
Great work!

In both meets it was scheduled minor loads.

  • squat 1RM scheduled: 317 x 1RM achieved: 374
  • bench 1RM scheduled: 300 x 1RM achieved: 308

Adrenaline…

Your comment was valid for all my four meets (I will post the deadlift and the ohp). Lots of unecessary initial lifts. But the meet I felt what you said with more emphasis was the deadlift meet. Wait to see…

Next meet I will be more disciplined
