-Understandable. We're all glued to tweets/hob/etc. Workouts haven't been affected though.
-Picked up a whoop because I'm trying to have something to monitor my sleep and recovery. Seems to be ok. Still not in love with a wearable in bed but it's way lighter than my watch. So far, I sleep like shit. Not surprising, especially after vacation last week.
-Didn't lift last week. 4 bike rides to kick off the season. 2 days of mobility. Ate and drank like an asshole, which undoubtly affected my first weigh in since the fall. However, coming off that shit has me lazer focused.
Starting point for 12 week cut:
*227 / 23%(which I'm a bit dubious on, should have a better reading Friday without all the water from booze and cheesecake hangovers)
*Obviously, more bf than I would have liked, wish it was 20-21% granted it probably is. Mirror test suggests it is. Still plenty of definition. Belly isn't near what it's been at that weight before.
*Strength is through the roof. Shoulders and Back mass seem to be the big gainers this round. Belt loop was getting snug one loop up on about 15-17# increase.
*Big thing, at that weight I was very comfortable. As agile and flexible as I've been since probably 18. Also, no pain or injuries.
* Dropping calories to 2000 for a quick 2-3 week burn vacation off, then aiming for 2200. Yesterday was 2030g cal, 256g protein, 47g fat, 63g carbs. I won't stay that low for more than a couple weeks.
*Strict counting of calories including condiments and grazing.
*Increasing weight, decreasing reps, increasing cardio, decreasing carbs, increasing proteins, decreasing fat, increasing sodium and water, decreasing booze, increasing sleep, increasing sauna and definitely increasing plunge.
Want to be <15% by July.
