for the record, by "bulk" i did not mean "GOMAD!!!" or "pizza every day!!!"

WEIGHT: 179
SORENESS: lower traps, hip flexors
ACHES/INJURIES: left ankle medially and laterally, below and behind the malleoli. top of left foot just posterior to the third and fourth toes.
MENTAL STATE: lightheaded, out of sorts

- warm up

- a few jumps

felt wack so called it. i'm going to take the day off work tomorrow so i'll do today's workout during the day and then play my frisbee game at night. not ideal but i'll just go extra light on wednesday. this keeps more or less on track.

yeah but you're up near where your squat was before and IIRC you hadn't done the super-heavy calf raises until the last however many months. did you just do GHR/back extensions before, or did you have some isometric work in before, too?

edit: i am ashamed.

herp derp.

we are the same weight now. will be interesting to see where you're at with squats and jumps once you get back on the wagon.

WEIGHT: 178.5

MENTAL STATE: fine

good workout, despite poor jumps and difficulty of squats. will keep weight same next week.

jesus christ, you're not fat. you've done an incredibly impressive job cutting down. the discipline is there, no question. but you're starting to get like adarq circa 2011 with his athletic anorexia shit. i realize you're kind of kidding but distorted body image ain't a joke. you're getting to the point where no matter how much weight you lose, you won't look that much leaner because you're thin. t0ddday had a good post about this a while back. three 6' tall guys at ~10% bf, one weighs 165 pounds, one weighs 175 pounds and one weighs 185 pounds. all else being equal, who looks leanest? the heaviest guy. adarq, even when he was under 150 pounds, never looked super lean. whereas t0ddday and kingfish look ripped despite weighing more at shorter heights and probably having equal or higher bf%.

what i'm saying is, let's do a bit of a bulk together, my brother. you can always lose the weight again later.

awesome depth on the front squats, btw.
