haha I dont know if you noticed, but I started @230lbs, so im going in the opposite direction. #RoadtoUltraLightWeight
Wasnāt paying attention at all thought you were 190-200lbs this whole time.
When I first Started posting in November I was 200lbs, packed on some fluff so i could survive the winter. Now, if i want to find a mate, I need to cut down the fluff to around 215lbs.
Did you hibernate though
I entered a hybrid-hibernation stage were I only woke up 3 days a week for 2hrs to lift.

Notes
- First day of the program that my coach wrote for me, gotta say its really different than what I have been doing, which is great. Change is good.
- Worked up to 3 reps at 485lbs for the deadlift, the weight is gonna be going up every week
- Afterwords worked on the Axle, no straps allowed for the comp so I wont be using any in training.
- They were amrap sets, but coach said to stop at 12reps, he will be bumping the weight up alot next week
- First time using a SSB Bar, was really excited about this cause I have always wanted to train with one. Definitely gonna take a couple weeks to get used too.
- Was supposed to do a 1x5 set with 345lbs, but 315lbs felt heavy the first go around, so I did another set with it really focusing on the technique and how the bar felt on my back. Will be trying 345lbs next week.
- Last set of exercises was completed as a group, going from one to the other for 12 minutes. Was able to get 4 rounds in. Shooting for 5 rounds next week.
- The slides were the hardest by the end, need to work on maintaining a tight core/body.

Fuck no, putting my shoes on this morning was such a struggle my hammies and low back are so tight. Just tried to touch my toes and barely got past my knees. I can normally do palms touching ground.

Dips 4x10(BW)
Band Face Pulls 4x12(Medium/Heavy Resistance)
Notes
- Still donāt have access to a log, but the AP Bar simulates it very well so Iām glad my coach put it in the program. Does the job of putting the weight far in front of you like a log.
- The last set performed was an AMRAP set with a 12 rep cap, got the first 8 strict and the last 4 were push press.
- Worked up to a 5RM for the 1-Arm Press, RPE around 9(Gonna start using RPE cause its what the man wants)
- Definitely a lot stronger on my right side with the 1-Arm Press, was able to get 5 on both sides but the last rep on the left side was a lot harder. Think its more of a balance issue tho.
- Had to do 30 Reps of pull-ups, got it done in 2 sets.
- Last set of exercises was completed as a group, going from one to the other for 12 minutes. Was able to get 4 rounds in. Shooting for 5 rounds next week.
- Started off at an RPE 6 and ended around an 8

- Lot of conditioning today too, doing theses events, so that was good, need to work on that.

Notes
- Deadlifts felt great today, was in a good position every rep, speed was unreal. Easily an RPE 6-7
- Axle Deadlifts were smooth and easy, even after a week I feel like my grip has improved, had no trouble holding onto 300lbs. RPE 6
- Feeling more confident with the SSB Squats, keeping my upper back tight and pulling the bar into my traps, two things I wasnt doing properly last week I feel like I succeeded in today. RPE 8
- Still only got 4 rounds this week, but all the reps and movements were alot cleaner and I wasnt as winded as last week. So still some improvement.
- I was a fat fuck this weekend, so I actually need to get my shit together diet wise.
