So I'm guessing that's 15 sets of 2 reps for 85kg on the front squat?

Lol, your broscience bodyfat estimates are pretty entertaining...  Think of it more in terms of weight... sprinting is tough to calculate but as far as simple vertical displacement with equal power its pretty accurate actually tonestimate just using a ratio of weights...  for example your 200 lbs and if you cut to 180 then 200/180 = 1.11.  So you would have an increase of vertical displacement increase of about 11%.   

Ive run fat and skinny and buff and I can tell you raw weight hurts more in the 200 and 400 whether its fat or muscle...  from my personal experience I think if you get under 180 your un 23.x.

We'll test the 11% vertical displacement in real life. There are All Comers events in my city all up the way up to March. In 4 months I should be able to lose 20lbs. The biggest challenge atm is dealing with my Achilles, which is severely comprimising my training. Although, untrained I’ve run 23.x before doing nothing but rugby and weights so weight loss alone should result in much improved performance.

SORENESS-
Achilles/Calves- Expected this because of the speed endurance yesterday. I was also reviewing my log and I realised that my achilles was improving when I was only running every 2nd day so it's probably running consecutive days, which has been hampering the recovery.

BODYWEIGHT- 91KG :uhhhfacepalm:
WAIST- 39 inches
BODYFAT- 23.4%
SORENESS- Calves/Achilles- they were improving but I think the jump rope I did this week aggravated them.

I ran my 200m and it was pretty disappointing in the end.
25.59 FAT
I guess apart from being fat I haven't done any speed work or speed endurance because it's been aggravating my achilles too much so all my training has just consisted of intensive tempo, which helps with fitness but not with getting faster. Oh well plenty of time to tweak things. This is complete broscience but I've been thinking perhaps an extra 1% bodyfat equats to an extra 0.1 seconds in the 100m. So if I lost 10% bodyfat that should lead to a loss of 1 second on my 100m, which would lead to a 2 seconds loss on my 200m assuming I'm in shape.

Strong lifts bro!

What's your height and weight if you don't mind me asking?


6'1" and morning weight is sitting about 310 right now, slowly cutting back down to the 275 range and depending how I feel there I may drop on down to 260ish I feel the best around that weight. I can usually dunk a basketball around that weight as well, honestly there's no excuse to be at my current size anyways so I'm going to re-evaluate my cardio training and switch it to tempo style (inspired to by Chad Wesley Smith's new ebook) and also keep the diet on lockdown. I can cut body fat very quickly as long as I adhere to a strict diet and do cardio 3-4 times a week consistently, and plus lets face it I belong to a vertical jump community here so why not try to dunk a basketball again while getting back in shape lol.

That's cool. You'll still be able to drop weight and keep gaining strength. Dunking at 260lbs is beast.

Dont stress it bro, one day's not going to make or break your hard work of weeks. Just take the next one in stride and keep going.

Thanks maxent!
I felt so shit today. Apart from the KFC last night I had a yiros and McFeast meal as well but it's the beers, which I'm most disappointed with. I'm not going to dwell on it anymore though.

It was a pretty good gym session did everything that I set out to do so can't complain.

I've got a meet tomorrow night for the 200m. It should be fun but I'm not really looking forward to seeing people and being slow and having them be like WTF happened to you!? I'm not going to stress about it though because the main thing is I'm just exercising again and slowly losing weight/trying to live a better lifestyle despite last nights antics.

I'm my own worst enemy. I didn't end up going to the gym yesterday. Instead I ended up going to the pub with a couple of my mates and got sloshed and finished off the night with KFC. I did have a great night but as for weight loss/athletic progress it was horrible. That and I woke up with a hangover and a throat feeling like an ashtray. My work already had its Christmas function last Saturday night so my aim is to make it up to Christmas now without having a single beer or shot. Moderation doesn't work for me but it's Friday night tonight and I'm staying home no matter how many people call me to come out. Same as tomorrow night. I'm off to the gym now!

Actually last time I was calipered tested it was 8.4% IIRC this summer. Its in my journal I might be able to find the exact number. 8.42 keeps popping into my head. 7 point pinch/fold test.

Considering that I'll rescind the previous 1.5 and go closer to 1-1.25 depending on day. Ive tracked calories before and its not uncommon for me to hit 4500ish daily. I eat all day lol! Average day is sausage/bacon, half dozen eggs, fruit for breakfast; snacks are usually cheese/nuts/fruit and I snack 3-4x a day. I easily eat over a pound of chicken daily and usually have a few burgers or a steak for dinner. Chicken breast is usually lunch. I grab a ~lb from the deli of tenderloins and grill them when Im cooking breakfast. Usually have a milkshake or something at work. I dont know many people that eat like i do even the big guys at the gym. I'll post a body comp pic iny journal in a few

I wish I can eat 4500 calories a day :(

SAME!
I just get skinnyfat when I eat that much. Gut genetics of peace.

My supps are the following-
Whey Protein- Musashi Chocolate Flavour but I'm thinking of switching to Muscle Milk
Fish Oil- Blackmores brand 1 capsule a day
Multivitamin- Swiss brand 1 tablet a day

I've never taken pre-workouts. I prefer just having a cup of coffee instead.
