I don't know how you can eat cow meat... first of all it really sucks taste wise and secondly, and most importantly, it takes about 10 minutes to masticate one piece at a time.

I remember when I was struggling to squat 130x1 one week ago after not squatting for a week straight... and complaining about it... and then I just came back the next workout and squatted 130x5 no problems. So... who knows? Maybe the next time you hit the gym you're going to squat 405x5 no problems.

Then why don't you warm up to a heavy 5 rep set and then come down from there for the rest of your 4 sets of 5?

I think it could be anything. You could be sick and not know about it (some mild infection or something). Or it could be something as easy as not having the correct stance (too narrow of a stance throwing you off the rhytm) or something along those lines.

I mean, it's obvious you can't lose enough muscle in that time frame for this loss to occur so it has to be something else. Bad sleeping/bad eating/infection/overtraining/going to the gym at a different time of day than usual/a combination of factors.

By the time you got to 209 you tired yourself up with all those lower weight sets... why do you go that route instead of warming up with lower rep ranges and then go for a top set?

When I warm up I usually go with:

20x5
60x5
90x5
110x3
130x1
~150x1 (1RM)
130x5 work set

WHere is that quote from.

If you want to go on a strict diet it will help, and is a good idea, but a strict diet isn't necessary if you're already pretty overweight and consume a lot of refined sugars/carbs, oils. Just reducing those and eating healthier will automatically get you lean.

Calories in, Calories out. Your body doesn't burn fat unless it needs to for energy. Has nothing to do with how "healthy" your foods are.



So you're saying what you eat, considering the calories are the same, doesn't matter? What about hormones? Like insulin?

You're basically saying "hey if you eat 2500 kcal of sugar or 2500 kcal of good healthy foods per day will do the same thing for your body fat %, body composition, strength etc"? It's not that easy.
