To elaborate unnecessarily, I think what I meant by “good” was simply that in comparison to last week it felt strong enough. At arm’s length, I am not 100% pleased, I seem to get in a rut of lifting the same weights. I need to add 5 kilo across the board or something, but my brain dislikes the odd numbers.

I wouldn’t worry about it, next week you’ll come in feeling like crap, have an awful session and hit a 20kg PRs across the board.
This is your way (I’d love it to be “the way” but it doesn’t work for me unfortunately).

With any luck, yes.
Today was just easy stuff, nothing too dramatic. But solid enough.

Couple days of doing bullshit. Jumping, pulling, whatever. Not gonna bother logging it. Today was some boobs stuff. The dumbbell thing was a PR. Harder than I thought it was going to be, first and last one were tough as balls, would rather have it on a slight incline. Not sure about 110 on the incline. PR territory, but I don’t actually know.

Also, probably going to drop 5 to 8 kilo, so things are going to absolutely suck going forward.

Woot. 
This is nice pressing but with your other press numbers I would have thought you would do more on this.

Same here. But I rarely do these movements, and when I do I tend to use a slight incline. Not really used to it, I guess.

I mean, I’ve heard them all.
I’m right there with you. Pressing is going well (probably because I’m fluffier); might as well ruin it with a cut. But I think my body weight goal is more important in terms of long-term health and overall well-being, so it wins.

Yeah, and I loathe even the minor drops. Pressing tends to be less-effected for me by weight/gain loss compared to other things, but it still sucks because it is the one I care about the most.
Anyway, I have started dialing food back, so I am underway I guess. Hasn’t effected anything yet. Squats today felt strong, despite a back that has been cramping up the last week and a left knee that hurt a bit on the warmups. Rep at 170 was very solid.

Day before yesterday, I pulled in the downwards direction, but not gonna bother to record it. Some pullups, too, trying to figure out how to do them with less pain.
Yesterday deadlifts. Took it very easy.
