Looks like my strength may have stabilized now after losing the glycogen.

hah nice @ the graph.

Haha yeah, i think it's nice to see numbers visualized for easy trend spotting. I'm guessing after the sharp drop in muscle glycogen and water weight, the weight loss should more or less slow down at about a pound every 4-5 days.

Ideally i want to workout every other day and fast on the rest days, but that can't work since my gym is closed sundays.
So i'll probably do just 2 completely fasted days per week and eyeball a maintenance eating day on workout days. Workout days consist of pre workout meal 8am (usually some whey, oatmeal, banana and coffee), post workout meal 11am (more whey, some fruits, cottage cheese, etc) and then dinner 6pm or later (varies, an actual meal and more protein)

Trying to avoid processed sugars and get in complex carbs and casein.

Lowered the volume since I'm cutting hard. Highly doubt I could have done one of my higher volume workouts today.
Again, strength is down probably due to way lower muscle glycogen levels. Basically I'm working out every other day and doing and all-day fast on my rest days.

So strength gains via neural adaption don't apply to RFD

Say what now?
I woulD have figured the strength gains were partially due to rate coding thus leading to RFD

Very interesting study. From personal experience all i needed to do was simply increase my squat:bw ratio while keep practicing my jumps and i was good to go. Never noticed any marked improvements from shock plyos, though i never took them seriously either. But my vert scaled directly with my squat:bw ratio, even back when i was a one footed jumper it did

Slight decreases in strength. RDL went from 365x8 to 385x3, but I think th 365x8 corresponds to a higher max, especially since I couldn't imagine pumping out 8 reps of it today.

We'll see how much strength I can keep on this cut. Of course I'm low on muscle glycogen and all that stuff from all-day fasts so my strength noticeably dropped almost immediately, but hopefully it doesn't drop much further.

Lots of volume today. Lowered the rest times on shoulder work from 90sec to 60sec since it's getting easy and I'm missing a lot of dumbells at my gym.

Cut starts Friday (today at the time of writing this). Planning an all day fast. Afraid my squat will suffer tomorrow due to not squatting since last week plus cutting, but oh well.

been missing a lot of workouts lately.
weighed myself at.... 201.8lbs dry fasted. WHAT! That was fast weight gain lol.

Planning on starting my cut this Sunday with a full day fast and hiking that morning

^ha, oh man. I dont get any sleep attacks (yet...). He likes to sleep by my feet. Sometimes he’ll plop onto my actual pillow above my head and share the pillow with me. Lately he has been sleeping in other parts of the house and now i miss it lol.

And he is definitely handsome!

adopted him at 4mo old! He's very chill. i can hold his paws and he wont pull them away, it feels really nice pressing into his "palm" and feeling his toes spread out and claws protract.
kinda trained him not to playbite and grab human hands. he still does it every now and then, but much less so, and is extremely gentle with his play biting with my hands now if it does it.

and yes, he purrs like a motor  ;D

So I thought I was running out of time, but it turns out I left the gym an hour early... pretty annoying, but maybe this little "de-load" will turn out to be beneficial.
Squats felt weaker, RDLs got stronger.

In other news, I got my first cat.
