Awesome to see my lifts keep going up! Hoping to squat 315x10 soon after which I think I should cut. Abs, though looking softer, are still visible. My main issue is putting on weight on my face which I hate

Added some volume with more lunges and goodmornings since I couldn't deadlift much without my straps

I used the weird 90lbs dumbells for back up sets... it'll do. Strange to lift with them but hopefully when I can knock out 12+ reps with them, I can be consistent with sets of 5+ on the 100's.

Ran out of time. My gym's closed sundays so i dont know if i'll be able to do back. Maybe i can lift with my friend at his gym

Here are the 90's at my gym. When you pick them up, the bent one rolls in your hand lol. They are slightly different shapes, too:



Here are the 100's. Clunky and tough to get off my chest for the first rep:



I think I'll just have to suck it up and use the 90's for work sets until I am strong enough to consistently hit 5 reps with the 100's for sets.

I did a full on 3 day dry fast a 2 weeks back playing BBall and walking a lot on each day - felt super weak on day 3, but good to know I can survive for 3 days without food or water 

you are a stronger man than me 


There was a youtube vid i cant find right now about a study done where participants had severly restricted calories and basically just ate like 800cal of carbs per day or something, and they compared the results of that to various people who lost weight through straight fasting. And it turned out straight fasting was a far superior way to lose weight in just about every metric. total weight lost, energy levels, hunger levels, muscle spared, etc.  Apparently it also helps retain the skin's elasticity more so people who drop 200+ pounds or whatever dont have as much hanging skin afterward

so its nice to see more people fasting for weight loss

Upped the volume a little. The db benches with the ankleweights on my biceps/elbows were weird because they were too bulky. Didn't feel natural. Pretty annoying I don't have decent 90lb or 95lb dumbells, because clearly 100's are too heavy for me to make decent use of right now. Maybe I'll have to make do with the 90's until I can manage 5 solid reps with the 100's?
