So I thought I was running out of time, but it turns out I left the gym an hour early... pretty annoying, but maybe this little "de-load" will turn out to be beneficial.
Squats felt weaker, RDLs got stronger.

In other news, I got my first cat.

What type of cat did you get?

Dreyth · « **Reply #1324 on:** November 13, 2019, 11:24:31 am »

adopted him at 4mo old! He's very chill. i can hold his paws and he wont pull them away, it feels really nice pressing into his "palm" and feeling his toes spread out and claws protract.
kinda trained him not to playbite and grab human hands. he still does it every now and then, but much less so, and is extremely gentle with his play biting with my hands now if it does it.

and yes, he purrs like a motor

Very cute. My cat play bites every now and then. He also walks up and bites my hand in the middle of the night too. Nearly shit my pants the first time it happened. I now sleep with the door closed haha

Funny related story:
I had a cat when i was a university student. He liked that bite your hand when you sleep thing. Full commando style, he would go under the bed and do sudden attacks, then retreat to the middle of the bed where he was unreachable. Long story short we started sleeping with doors closed ( was living with my brother ). One of my brother's doors was a rolling one though, which wouldn't lock. But it seemed too heavy for a few months old kitten to open. The little bastard figured it out. He would lie parallel to the door, but both of his front legs in the few milimeters opening ( his claws actually ), pull with all he got until he created a couple of centimeters opening, then stand up go stick his face in there and widen it moving his head, then the same with his body, boom, he was in. And he was doing it mechanically, routine style, like "i got this, 3 steps to open it, 1,2,3, done"
Dreyth this one has an awesome face.

Dreyth · « **Reply #1327 on:** November 15, 2019, 06:54:12 am »

^ha, oh man. I dont get any sleep attacks (yet...). He likes to sleep by my feet. Sometimes he’ll plop onto my actual pillow above my head and share the pillow with me. Lately he has been sleeping in other parts of the house and now i miss it lol.

And he is definitely handsome!

been missing a lot of workouts lately.
weighed myself at.... 201.8lbs dry fasted. WHAT! That was fast weight gain lol.

Planning on starting my cut this Sunday with a full day fast and hiking that morning

Lots of volume today. Lowered the rest times on shoulder work from 90sec to 60sec since it's getting easy and I'm missing a lot of dumbells at my gym.

Cut starts Friday (today at the time of writing this). Planning an all day fast. Afraid my squat will suffer tomorrow due to not squatting since last week plus cutting, but oh well.

Slight decreases in strength. RDL went from 365x8 to 385x3, but I think th 365x8 corresponds to a higher max, especially since I couldn't imagine pumping out 8 reps of it today.

We'll see how much strength I can keep on this cut. Of course I'm low on muscle glycogen and all that stuff from all-day fasts so my strength noticeably dropped almost immediately, but hopefully it doesn't drop much further.

Lowered the volume since I'm cutting hard. Highly doubt I could have done one of my higher volume workouts today.
Again, strength is down probably due to way lower muscle glycogen levels. Basically I'm working out every other day and doing and all-day fast on my rest days.

Dreyth · « **Reply #1334 on:** November 25, 2019, 12:43:10 pm »

Ideally i want to workout every other day and fast on the rest days, but that can't work since my gym is closed sundays.
So i'll probably do just 2 completely fasted days per week and eyeball a maintenance eating day on workout days. Workout days consist of pre workout meal 8am (usually some whey, oatmeal, banana and coffee), post workout meal 11am (more whey, some fruits, cottage cheese, etc) and then dinner 6pm or later (varies, an actual meal and more protein)

Trying to avoid processed sugars and get in complex carbs and casein.
