Still feel… Very stable energy wise. Driving close to 300gm of protein down the throat per day on average. And averaging 230gm in fat. Something around 3400 calories…and I’m 2.5kg lighter a week in.
I did have Some carbs last night. White rice only.
Eh, couldn’t help my self. We have a dinner with friends. Made me seem a little more normal. Hahaha.
Mostly I have zero interest in explaining to or talking about diet with my mainstream friends who will absolutely insist that red meat will kill you and Milk is for babies…
They have no idea that I put away close to a 600gm’s of meat from the spread. Lol.

I copped an earful from a woman a work once about Pepsi being fucking dangerous or whatever and should never drink it.
Same woman piles in the carbs, lives for cigarette breaks… And looks like shit.

Very awesome to hear the outcome. There’s a bit of a “water weight” trick going on when carbs are cut out, but that’s also why I like going low carb: I feel less bloated. Plus, when you DO introduce carbs, your muscles just swell up like mad.
I hear you on eating with company. I actually PRE or POST eat with events. I have small servings and pick at stuff when out socially and eat my REAL meals later. It’s just easier.

Not bad. Expected worse from deadlifts after yesterday. But actually performed better than the other day with the same weight. Bench was great overall. Just need to stop being a bitch with this lift, and good things will happen.

Still getting your daily work in. How you holding up?
You bet man. Feel way better lifting daily. Though I might need to lower the volume on deadlifts.
The beauty of a daily routine is that is allows you test out ideas quickly. And I’m a little off in the set up of deadlift. So will adjust that moving forward as I’m not seeing the desired response. As I said previously here I think, it may not wind up being a “deadlift everyday” thing. But let’s see how the changes for first.
But everything is else is feeling well balanced! Bench is improving. As is the Press. And squats feel quite good also.
Also the low carb thing is going well, though weight it starting to creep back up again. I guess calories in vs out still matter, despite what some online zealots push with this style of eating.

Yup. No tricking thermodynamics. But carbs have always been easier to overeat compared to lean protein. Mashed potatoes or rice are gonna slide down much better than chicken breasts, haha.

130x2 misgrooved second rep frustratingly. But I got it.
Not bad. Lower back fatigue was real from past few days. Yet my bar speed indicated I had the very same Estimated 1rm today - 248kg. Interesting. How you feel and how you perform are often not at all related.
The fatigue is real though. Lol. It should dissapate over the next day or two and we should start seeing E1RM’S over 250.
Bench E1rm was 136kg. A far cry from 155(best ever E1RM - The day I benched 150kg about 17months ago…).

Pretty standard fair for me lately.
450gm of porterhouse (Strip loin or New York Strip for my friends stateside).
180gm of quality Greek yoghurt.
400ml of full cream milk. Dairy products both from a local supplier near my house.
I salivate hard for a meal like this now.
All cravings for literally anything else have ceased.
