Bodyweight: 73.6kg (!!)
Activity:

Last nigth is a bit hazy but I ended up a reception party I didnt know about beforehand and lets just say unlimited food and drink for someone who hasnt eaten in 14 days is either the best combination or the worst; depending on your perspective. Lol. But i'm eyeing finishing off the job and getting to 72.0kg 70.0kg and then ending this #forevercut. Lesgo.

Suprised to weigh only 73.6kg post feast tho, i will prob reach 72.0kg a lot quicker than one might expect from yesterdays 73.0kg? Will see. Didnt get a chance to do lower body yesterday, so will do that today and sprint and cardio hopefully, then back on the diet monday.

Ive added +2kg to my weightvest also, +6kg was starting to feel too light. Now at +8kg, will maintain this here since this is 10% of eventual goal weight (80kg @ 10%bf). That leaves 2kg unused for now.

I must say it feels amazing to have a good night sleep, somehow my alarm didnt go off and i woke up around 1pm, catching up on some much needed rest and recovery. Normal bowel movements, feeling not-suicidal / lethargic, it's ace. Got that to look forward to in addition to being ripped at the end of this process.

Bball game

Notes:
Haven't recovered yet from last session squats but i wanted to do 6x3x120kg and it didn't happen. May just adjust expectations for now, can chase 120kg later when lean.

I played a game where I was the best player on the court and I only scored 2 points. Im not sure what the fuck is wrong with me but im a terrible basketball player. I passed up shots to hit team mates with assists which went begging. Like imagine if Lebron played with some scrubs and was finding the open man who couldnt hold the ball, except im not lebron by any means. So bad.

Don't stress about it mate. You play that way by habit. I do the same.

I'm pass first but being a 'little' more selfish would do wonders for my game. Just aren't wired that way tho!

chasing athleticism -- a journey to the bottom (1/14)

Legs feel fresher but im starting to look pretty sloppy again, arresting the decline. I find my memory was failing me as well which was as interesting, perhaps my brain functions better off on low carbing, idk. For example I had a face in mind (that i came across recently) and I couldnt think where I know it from. Which wasnt the first instance of such a failing. I'd drive to the shops and start wondering why I was ther and what i was supposed to get. Weird.

Having this idea of trying to have a dunk session but my heart isn't really in it. I have had 2 dunk attempts since Sept, both of them at the end of the last 2 games i played (garbage time basically). I didnt cleanly land either but. I do think my foot is healed. I dont know if dunking will reinjure it. I also dont think i will be able to jump very high anyways since im not lean or strong or both.
I want a good project, thinking of making a compiler for my language. I haven't got any ideas for languages yet tho .. so idk, but i just want something to hack on this weekend and the next couple of weeks.

Ha! I got my first dunks in 6 months. Funny thing is i'm pretty much in the same place I was prior to injury. I have zero movement efficiency for jumping .. havent done jumping at all (esp off 2 legs) since sept. I put it down to squatting. I shud never have doubted it but getting my squat ratio up is prob the only thing which will improve my vertical. Oh well, no more self doubt.. got work to do.

Also did some sprints, 6x50m max effort, then finished with 6x100m(20s each) intervals with 20s rest.

So the training recipe is easy frm here, get leaner, get stronger, get fitter and practice dunking and sprinting. hopefully that will be enough for some sort of peakiness to my game come easter.

Why are my abs so sore today though. Dunking / sprinting? I also did some bounds just to see if i could do them painfree and I could. Interesting.. !

LOL!

Don't worry bro most of it is probably just water weight. My weight can fluctuate 2-3kg in a day depending on the time of the day, how much I've eaten, and how much I've sweated etc.

You're right. Ive been pissing all day, woke up twice in the late morning to go to the bathroom. I reckon ive gained a decent amount of fat too though. Maybe 2-3kg :/ what really perplexes me is last saturday i had a better workout after 2 weeks of hardcore dieting (24hr fasting, 1 meal a day, zero carb, zero fat) than i did this saturday after a whole week of icecream! it's like my body struggled to adjust to increased calories and carbs. To be fair a lot of those carbs were sugar so maybe more toxic than if i had got them from oatmeal or something. Still, what's done is done haha.
