Weight is falling off easily. Kinda curious to see how low I can go.

 

Fuck that, if novice allows up to 231 I'd be staying heavier. Why cut now?

 

Just because I might switch to open on the day of weigh in if they allow. And I’ve been riding the “power belly” train long enough. So trying to drop some excess bulking weight and get a healthier platform to build on.

 

Got the first round of the covid vaccine yesterday. Kinda feeling tired and sluggish this afternoon. Or it could be from waking up at 2:45am to go to work and lift.

 

Still getting roughly 150grams of protein a day and probably 80 grams of fats. Just cutting back on carbs on non training days.

 

Hope it all goes well man. I’m sure we will all
End up getting it eventually.

 

Was gonna ask if you were working any of the crazy ass shenanigans last night.

 

Luckily no. What a shit show. People have lost their damn minds.


Thinking I’m gunna ramp up doing a couple two a days with cardio in the morning and lift at night. Being hitting the echo bike after some lifts and it’s been a rude wake up call for my cardio.

 

Do you feel more autistic than normal?

 

Blowing bubbles in the bathtub as we speak.

 

@PackCon may have a recommendation for a weighted blanket to calm your freakouts....

 

.7g/lb?

I personally do better closer to 1g/lb especially if i am beating myself up. ymmv though.

 

Probably have a recommendation on technique for blowing Bubbles as well...

 

I haven’t tracked or really counted in a while. Always ate clean but never exact numbers.

I’m starting to/try get my diet on point to feel the best. I was eating 1g/lb for a little bit but kept getting the worst protein farts. They stopped when I dropped to .75/lb.

Don’t know if it’s related or not.

 

I don’t typically get gassy unless I crank my carbs up or have too much protein powder. That said, fart yourself to greatness man. WHATEVER IT TAKES!

 

protein farts are the worst.

 

18in deadlifts followed by 350lb per hand farmers pick and hold today. Grip is feeling solid.

 

How many comps you got planned? How often should/would a person compete a year?

 

And fuck. That’s some nasty grip strength

 

1 as of now. I say go for as many as you can for experience. I'll probably do 5-6 this year unless I qualify for Nationals early.
