Working till 630pm today. Get home at 7pm. I work an overnight shift tonight 11pm to 7am. then no sleep, working 830 am till 530pm... then off to some market research study till 730pm. Won't have time to go home and nap after that before deadlifting tomorrow.

Yep still here. i have a fulltime job 9:30am - 6:30pm 5x a week. Then I have a side job, just doorman/porter. Shit pays well though, and it's super easy, so I kept it. Also the tenants are super rich in the building I work at, so you never know. Connections n stuff.

Pull day tomorrow. Then push day again right after that, so that I can be back on track.

I'm down to 191.6 today. Must have lost some water weight. Or maybe not. I did notice that my scale says I'm a higher H20% as I get lighter and lighter. I guess that's true, considering I've been losing fat?

Anyway, I felt great at the gym today even though I was so light and still cutting. Must have been due to that extra day of rest. Once I get under 190lbs consistently for a week straight, I'll switch to maintenance.

This happened at the gym today. Never heard more horrifying screams of pain in my life. His foot is completely in his shoe, btw. It looks like he barely has his shoe on, with his heel sticking out or something... but nope.

Careful out there guys.

Dreyth · « **Reply #263 on:** January 12, 2015, 12:52:24 pm »

Can't wait to squat again. Damn. I've got that "feeling" back where I can't wait to hit more PR's.

That's always a good sign! Today I'll do my pull day (non deadlift) and then push day again tomorrow so that I can be back on schedule.

Dreyth · « **Reply #264 on:** January 12, 2015, 01:38:32 pm »

405lb squat at 195bw puts me at a 34-35in standing vertical:
http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljumpcalculator.html

I'll def be there. i think my estimated max is 405lbs as it is right now, and i'm down to 192bw.
Perhaps i'm capable of a 35in standing vertical (and who knows, maybe even 40in running) if i put in a lot of practice?

I should start playing a few pick up games. From what i remember, my movement efficiency in my jumps shoots up fast after about 2 weeks of playing 3-4 times a week. but i would like to put more emphasis on my standing vertical than i used to this time around.

I'll do that when I finish my cut.

I ate a ton the day before this since I had to workout 3 days in a row. Needed recovery. It made me shoot up 4lbs right away! I know it's water weight but its a bit discouraging to think that once I get to sub 190 like I'm aiming for, once I eat at maintenance I'll shoot up to about 193 or so :/ I'd like to stay at a consistent 190 for several weeks and get that tested 405lb squat at that weight.

Didn't weigh myself this morning. I didn't want to see that I was heavy again because it would discourage me, especially since my deadlift is down right now as well as my seated cable rows. I'd be thinking "wtf... im trying to cut, but im a bit heaver than before AND my lifts are lower?"
