Bball game

Notes:
Haven't recovered yet from last session squats but i wanted to do 6x3x120kg and it didn't happen. May just adjust expectations for now, can chase 120kg later when lean.

I played a game where I was the best player on the court and I only scored 2 points. Im not sure what the fuck is wrong with me but im a terrible basketball player. I passed up shots to hit team mates with assists which went begging. Like imagine if Lebron played with some scrubs and was finding the open man who couldnt hold the ball, except im not lebron by any means. So bad.

Bodyweight: 73.6kg (!!)
Activity:

Last nigth is a bit hazy but I ended up a reception party I didnt know about beforehand and lets just say unlimited food and drink for someone who hasnt eaten in 14 days is either the best combination or the worst; depending on your perspective. Lol. But i'm eyeing finishing off the job and getting to 72.0kg 70.0kg and then ending this #forevercut. Lesgo.

Suprised to weigh only 73.6kg post feast tho, i will prob reach 72.0kg a lot quicker than one might expect from yesterdays 73.0kg? Will see. Didnt get a chance to do lower body yesterday, so will do that today and sprint and cardio hopefully, then back on the diet monday.

Ive added +2kg to my weightvest also, +6kg was starting to feel too light. Now at +8kg, will maintain this here since this is 10% of eventual goal weight (80kg @ 10%bf). That leaves 2kg unused for now.

I must say it feels amazing to have a good night sleep, somehow my alarm didnt go off and i woke up around 1pm, catching up on some much needed rest and recovery. Normal bowel movements, feeling not-suicidal / lethargic, it's ace. Got that to look forward to in addition to being ripped at the end of this process.

Good post. Last time i got my bf% checked  (11 pt caliper), i weighed 100kg and they said I was an even 25%bf. lol lol. By that measure, i shud be 0% bodyfat right now  :D. I was hoping the price of DEXA wud come down here but it's still around $100 and it's not worth the paper it's printed on but id like to take one just for a joke. I reckon it would come back with something consistent with my BMI tho, dont have much faith in the method of testing bf, just rough approximations at best.

Bodyweight: 74kg
Activity: 8k + game steps not counted since band was off

Training today. Started taking Cayenne(500mg) as a thermogenic, will be interesting to see how it performs. It suggested with food but I took it on an empty stomach. If i tolerate it will ramp up to 3x daily..

BS 1x120(paused), 5x100(paused), 6x92.5(paused)
Game

Game was okay, season's done, no more games left to play unless I can sort out fill-in positions (doubtful), im gna have to make do with just practice (alone) & pickup. Not ideal preparing for easter weekend comp but it's just how it goes.

I used 4x25kg plates to load up 120kg for the first time today, that's a milestone. This is how it begins, gna make this a setpoint as per sig. I did the same for 110kg when i got my first pair of 25s, now with 2 pairs I will normalise 120kg just the same as 110kg became warmup ezy eventually.

I expect to have a big scale movement sometime soon (hopefully). Kinda constipated (low carb problems lol). And from here on, if i wake up sunday morning and im not happy with what I see on the scale/mirror then I may just keep dieting. Or take the break as planned, whatevs.

Mutumbo, i'm not skinny fat. I'm just fat. And skinny. But not skinny-fat, there's a diff. Will be lean after i lose a few more kilos (somewhere between 75 and 70kg bw) and then im done cutting. Wont take long, im not wasting time with this stuff, have a wicked deficit going (1 meal a day, 140g of protein, zero fat, zero carb). Plus taking all the supplements and averaging over 6k units of activity a day. Cost of this PSMF is training suffers, cant jump or run fast, will put up it with in the short term but it's not something I have to live with it longer than the duration of the cut. If I have to weigh 70kg to be lean then so be it, it's not my desire to be that light but i'll play the (genetic) cards ive been dealt, no complaining lol.

acole I appreciate the advice, it's good generic advice. I'd give the same advice in your position. It just so happens that it is not fit for purpose. I'm an individual and individuals need tailored advice, that's where the difference arises in practice.Not saying someone else my height should be 70kg but I have to be. I wish i was a lean 90kg like Coges but wishing doesn't make it so. So i'll diet down to whatever low bodyweight (prob in the interval 72.5kg - 70kg), maintain that bodyfat level for a while then try to get up to a lean 80kg. Maybe with steroids, I think I will have demonstrated the right to take them in that case, it's not cheating it's levelling the playing field if i have to take drugs to ONLY weigh 10kg less than someone else athletic my height (eg Coges). But i'll try it naturally first (ofc).

Chris, dont get hung up on the height thing tho. Unless you're comparing someone low to mid 5ft with someone mid to high 6ft, we're practically the same organisms. It makes sense to scale out bw with height but not always, there are limitations, im def in the category where it doesn't make sense to.

Let me just put this number out there, 72.5kg. That's where I am coming to but I was avoiding mentioning it here because I expected it would cause some consternation. Haha, so much for that. There's a whole host of factors to weigh up, constantly making compromises and trade offs and trying to balance things out is exhausting.

FWIW it's not too hard to understand cause and affect. I was struggling yesterday b/c sleep was impaired and b/c i over reached with the overhead presses and reintroduction of sprints. But i'll adapt, more or less.

Thinking of taking up drinking coffee or tea or something, i'm going to make some long term changes to the way I see food & drink. If can learn to enjoy a cup of tea much more instead of say a chocolate bar, i can keep the fat from piling back on once i come off cutting.

Coffee is a wonderful thing. Can definitely replace a meal as it's an appetite suppressant. That's if you can get away with black coffee or if you're happy with the half a cup of milk thrown in.

Not completely unrelated my go to meal the last two months has been greek yoghurt. Throw your protein powder in, some berries and popcorn. Yes popcorn. Top with granola or cacao nibs if you're feeling frisky. Sounds weird but is delicious.

Yah I think low cal is okay, doesn't have to be zero. But obv there is no room for Starbucks sized desserts masquerading as beverages on a sensible diet (~2000kcal/day) for me. Will try your yoghurt idea.

Rest day. Gna try to walk my way to some decent FL tho.

Found out something disappointing, my basketball season effectively ends this week :( Cos we didnt make finals (in either team), no more games after tue and thurs. That means I have 2 weeks off before the easter weekend comp. I can deal with one week break (will just practice) but 2 is much. Hopefully can sort something out for that 2nd week. It annoys me that I played a shitload of basketball this summer of pointless games but when I really need to get match time experience, I run out of season lol. Typical.

Got some no sugar hot chocolate powder. It tasted better with whey than just hot water, but with whey i have to be careful not to curdle from the heat otherwise it tastes off. So will experiment and get the formula right. Also tried plain cocao with whey in cold milk and it wouldnt even mix but im not sure that was that nice but i will see if its an acquired taste
