Good luck with the dieting.
Also, someone wants to say goodbye to you. He told me there were no hard feelings and will be waiting for you when the diet’s over.

Thank you, I think I may still have to pay pizza a visit in two weeks when I have my first cheat meal. Its going to be hard having a long distance relationship though.
July 14th- Bench
Welp this is it, first session of 5/3/1 part deux. Things went well, I could definitely feel a difference not having a thousand carbs in my body during the workout.
Bench
1x5 185
1x5 215
1x9 240 -A PR of sorts I believe, I wanted 10 but number 9 was slow so I just racked it.

1x10 60s
1x10 80s
BB Row

Its the kind of hate you want to have, thanks bro.
Morning weight=261.2
Diet is going well so far, it isn’t that big of a struggle not eating shit all of the time, at least not yet.
July 16th- Squats
Morning Weight=261.2
Day 2 of low carb diet, so far so good. I am already reading various menus online, mostly pizza places, its way better than porn.
I am already feeling the effects of the low carbs on my lifting. I don’t necessarily feel weaker, I just feel kind of like I am dizzy, but its a different sensation, its hard to describe. The rest of the day I feel great though.
Squat
1x5 230
1x5 265
1x6 300 -Heavy, but at least they were solid reps.
Walking Lunges
3x8/side 50 -These sucked as usual, thats why I do them.
Ab Wheel Rollouts
3x8 -For the ladies.
Seated Calf Raises
1x10 -10 counts down, 10 counts at the bottom, fast up.
July 17th morning weight=260
July 18th- Overhead Press
Morning Weight=258.8
My weight is on a nice, steady, downward trend, hopefully it stays that way for a while. Training felt good today, my strength was lacking a bit in the press but that probably has to do with the fact I haven’t done overhead work in 4 weeks.
Overhead Press
1x5 105
1x5 125
1x8 140 -Not bad, I was hoping for 10.
A. Pull Ups (2 sets wide, 3 neutral)
5x5 Bodyweight
B. Dips
2x8 BW
3x5 BW
Preacher Curls
1x10 70
1x6 80
1x4 90 -Haven’t done these in a loooong time, I figured I would throw them in for fun.
DB Reverse Flies
3x15 10s
Overhead Tricep Rope Extension
3xSome 60
It looks like a lot, but those last three exercises weren’t much.
July 21st- Deadlift
Thus far I haven’t felt much of a strength decrease, I do feel a little less energetic in the gym without carbs in my diet though. Whenever I feel like using low carbs as an excuse in the gym I think of what Alpha wrote in his log once. I don’t remember the exact words but it was something to the effect of “if soldiers can still fight after days without food, I can do some giant sets on a low carb diet.”
Morning weight 19th- 258
Morning weight 20th- 257
Morning weight 21st- 257.6
Deadlift
1x5 275
1x5 320
1x5 360 -I was going to go for more but I decided against it, I am going to work my way into pulling for high reps, as they were the only thing that has ever gotten me injured while lifting.
GHR
3x10 BW
Seated Cable Rows
1x10 120
1x10 140
1x10 160

Seated Calf Raises
2x 1 minute 2 plates +25
July 23rd- Bench
Well I had a pretty awesome cheat meal on Wednesday. 40 cent wing night at DJs Dugout so I got 18 wings and a basket of waffle fries, ate it all, easily could have kept going. I was planning on going 2 weeks before my first one but what the hell why not.
As a result my weight went way back up and is just now getting back to where it was.
Morning weight 22nd- 261 ish, somewhere in there.
Morning weight today- 258.4
GREAT training today, got a bench PR I am very pleased with, I think smolov jr definitely did me some good.

I meant to take a video of the benching today but I forgot my camera. I haven’t posted any vids for a while because my laptop was at hp getting some stuff fixed so I haven’t had the computer with all of my uploading software on it. They will be returning soon!
Very nice bench PR!
The weight seems to be comin down slow, but steady.
So much fucking shit to log.
Fix
Well so far my lowest weight is 251.2, I am happy with my progress thus far. I have been very busy/ very lazy so have not updated my log. I also no longer keep a paper log so this is all going to be from memory so I am not guaranteeing 100% accuracy.

You like to keep everyone on the edge of their seats, trying to guess what you’ll do next: just like Brett Favre.

Would they have had to convert an offensive lineman to play QB if he opted not to come back?
