I just have a sneaking suspicion Entropy  is underestimating himself at his height/weight.

you are not the first.

Bodyweight: 79.75kg/175.82lb
Fasted Duration: 24 hrs (to be updated)

Milestone achieved, got under 80kg!



Only 5 more days to go, can i get to 10%? lets see

Training
FBS  3x100, 2x110, 1x117.5
BS 5x107.5, 5x105

OHP 2x57.5, 6x60, 5x52.5
WCU 2x91, 2x96, 2x101, 3x96, 5x91, 6x86

CND - HIIT sprints 6x(25s on, 22s off)

CND - 2km jog (not on a TM lol!)

Squat notes:
Back felt ok but i was still somewhat tentative - worked up to a max of 117.5kg. I have to remind myself im in the tail end of a pronounced cut, carb depleted and fasted. All things considering, maybe it's ok that i've taken around 10% off the bar. But still, it's humbling have to psyche up for 117.5kg squat- not just FS but BS as well.

Btw walking out 117.5kg felt so heavy that i realised i've got to do something about that. It's like my body is forgetting i'm capable of squatting, not just walking out, a lot more weight than that!  So i'll do walkouts with both FS and BS racks with 130-150kg - just to remind my body it's capable of that and it should maintain that rigidity.

CND notes:
Idk if i pushed harder than usual or if its a symptom of chronic dieting/fasting/low carbing but i was completely destroyed by the sprints. Such a great workout! For the record i coud manage the first 3  and even the 4th sprints of about 200m fine but the last 2 really destroyed me

Why does it say "BF" 0.11 and 0.1?

I don't get it.

nice! yeah, that's the main benefit from IF as far as i can tell (having never tried it myself but read about a lot of people doing it). you still get to eat a big satisfying meal at some point, you're not constantly forcing yourself to eat less in the moment.

Last few weeks of backsquatting have made my erectors grow noticeably. Thinking I may prioritise getting a 2xbw backsquat and get it out of the way just to fill the gaps of strength in my kinetic chain. It will probably improve my chance of getting a 2xbw frontsquat having got the backsquat goal already. Incidentally, this would be adding around 12.5kg to my recent backsquat worksets so it's not a long way away by any means.

Current BS worksets 117.5kgx6 -> 130kgx6 (2bw)
Current FS worksets ~120kgx3 -> 120kgx5 (1.8xbw)
Current BW 78kg -> 75kg

Importantly getting a 1.7bw front squat is still sometime i haven't yet achieved which annoys me, especially when relative strength is a priority. My VJ and athleticism have gone up regardless though but still it's pretty embarrassing to be in the [1.6-1.7) region. I mean I have a 1.7xbw FS if my bw goes back down to 75kg but it's not there right now. So I really need to reduce my bodyweight back to baseline (~75kg) and nudge my lifts up by 2 or so reps.

This post sums up where i was a year ago. Btw the BW multipliers are 1rm estimates. Only thing is, i haven't improved since then, and possibly gone backwards :/  What happened was soon after this i got injured, lost the motivation to watch my diet while recovering and ended up weighing over 80kg which slowly drifted towards 85kg. Then i healed up, got my shit together and strung together about 3-4 months of solid training but i had to gain about 5kg and weigh 90kg/200lb for those gains. Which would be fine except, i shud have stayed below 80kg given my lean mass. So now what? Just finish the cutting to 6-8% and then get strong as possible at 77.5kg and 80kg before letting myself gain anymore weight.

starting to get to me.

wat.
