Been pottering the last few weeks. Still balling and adding in some upper body sessions. Lost track of things a little. Weight is still in the 89s and I think the bf is lower than before. Am eating more but the weight is still dropping. I'm away somewhere sunny next week so not going to stress too much. I'm feeling kinda skinny so once I'm back the aim is to get to a lean 95 by the end of the year. Not too stressed on training the next couple of weeks either. Will get whatever sessions I can in and see how I go.

Not too much training for me this week due to work and family commitments. Only 2 sessions with one of those being 15 minutes of deadlifts. Ball game Wednesday night too but that's been it. 

On the diet front still crushing it. BW is now 89.3 and my waist is down to 34". Ideally I don't really want to go much lower than this. Have had some sleep issues the last week too which may be a symptom of being too low. Again based on the mirror test I'm around 10% maybe a little under. Getting full separation lines in the quads too. Will keep on for the next week or so and then start working my way back up trying to add some lean mass. First change will be a post workout shake. Something nice and easy to do (50gP & 200gC). Been reading a lot of Poliquin's stuff and it's been his meat and nuts diet that has got me this far so figure I'll work back up using his info too.

Keep us posted on the new workout.
I'm doing my own thing right now, but have that same workout on the app.
Trying to keep my ankles, knees and shoulders healthy and get a little more jumping in right now.

I will do. I'm dipping my toe in on the workouts this week and will hit them fresh next week once I get my head aropund everything.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, why are you doing your own thing? From what I can see the anti gravity program has pretty much everything you've just described.

I tend to get a workout ADD, plus I need some extra ankle and shoulder work right now.  I think you're right though.  Probably start the ATG workout next week and follow that for 12 weeks or so, adding in my Iso's and extra ankle and shoulder stuff along the way

I'm similar to you. Normally get ADD but I somehow stuck with the ATG system for over 6 months straight. Glad to change it up a bit now. Just looking through the sessions and it seems to have everything covered that you want so it makes sense to stick with it. I'm the same in that I'll change it up every 12 weeks from now on.

Ball game last night. Aside from being freezing in the stadium it was a good game. We had a couple of fill ins who could hit regular threes and it just makes the game so much easier. We smashed the other team pretty much all over the place. Found myself lacking for energy and then realised I haven't had much in the way of carbs all week so there's no surprises there. Going to keep this up for another week and a half and then start adding carbs back in around workouts. I was 90kg on the knocker this morning and even though I'm lean I can see the differences on an almost daily basis. Fingers crossed to get sub 89 in the next week prior to starting to add some carbs back in. Having said all that I may end up doing this for longer if I am still feeling good with it.

Have just started a new program with ATG. I was hanging for a change and this looks pretty good.

Two days of force production, 2 days of force protection, 2 days jumping and 1 upper body bro day. Very keen.

*Edit- on a diet note I've got this locked in now. Losing fat has never been so easy. I'm down to 90.3 while retaining (visual estimate only) most of my muscle. Meat and nuts for breakfast, eggs and salmon for lunch, meat and veg for dinner, two protein shakes as snacks. Easy. Also while loading creatine. No cravings for sugar, no cravings for carbs either. Been on less than 50g of carbs for 4 days in a row and am not suffering at all. It's golden.

Damn yeah my wife had all hers done at once. They were impacted and infected too. Just horrible. I think I've been pretty lucky. No real pain so far and seems to be a solid recovery.

Ball game last night. We won easily but played against a bunch of wanna be morons. Lots of pushing and shoving from them. Elbows thrown under the rim. Lots of c bombs thrown about. Just lucky for me I'm bigger and stronger than them. One of their players got sat twice during the game for abusing the ref who was an 18 year old girl. It's so satisfying to win against guys like this.

6AM training highlights

Split Squats- top set of 10 @ 48kg total (equal PR I believe)
Seated Good Mornings- top set of 10 @ 45kg (PR is 50 I think)

Dips- 6, 7, 5 (struggle street this morning)

Some other stuff.

Had a wisdom tooth out on Monday morning. Haven't eaten too much the last couple of days as a result which is actually a good prompt to get back on the fat loss wagon. I was 92kg fully clothed after gym and breakfast this morning so that bodes well. Should be sub 91 first thing.

*edit- note to self- I had a meat and nuts breakfast with eggs and kale at 8am after the gym. It's not 10.30 and I feel awesome.

damn wisdom teeth pull nightmares (for me).

cool that u rediscovered some fasting from it tho hah. and ya, feels better (for me) when my diet is more random, with big blocks of non-consumption.

I had another out last year and it was the easiest thing ever. Dentist threw a screw in there and it was out in 5 mins tops. This time was a good 20 min struggle.

On the fasting I think it just gave me a nice reset. I'm actually eating 5-6 meals a day now (a whole 2 days haha) and I'm feeling pretty good with that. Weight was 90.4 this morning so edging closer to that sub 90 range. Def carb depleted though so no doubt that's half of it.

jumping over a guy always makes me think of this legendary moment:

Ball game last night. The game itself wasn't brilliant but I felt pretty good. We ended up winning by 40 and the other team only had 2 guys who could ball. Makes everything super easy. Couple of nice blocks and I hilariously jumped over a guy. Granted he was only about 5'8 and he ducked but it was great. He stopped on a fast break under the rim and pump faked me and I had a full head of steam and jumped. I ended up fouling him though as I had to push his head to the middle so I didn't knee him. That jump was off two. Had another chase down scenario where I was at full speed and pulled up cause I didn't trust myself off 1 just yet.

Gym this morning. Hammies and left shoulder a little sore but otherwise all good.

Easy ball game. Felt super bouncy during the day. Attempted two dunks in warm up. First one rattled out and second one got rim blocked. Was completely cold so no surprises. It's pretty clear to me that I need to do more in week jumping. Finding the time is key.

Definitely fitter during games too. I'm always running back and pushing on offence and don't get anywhere near as tired as I used to. Good signs.

Good stuff!  More bounce and more endurance at the same time.  Still on the ATG workouts?

Thanks. Pretty surprising and I didn't realise till my teammates were telling me to slow the play down cause they were tired lol.

Yep. Still on the basics. I only have nordics, RDLs and the core stuff to get off the basics. RDLs I will knock off this week or next and the core stuff maybe the week after. Nordics... :pissed:
