69.
Per Whoop, it is currently 42. (No idea how accurate that is). 42 appears to be a pretty good but not excellent number for my age (going on 44). For not having thought about it before this morning, I was pretty pleased.
Now that I know it is already being tracked, I might see how easy it is to increase and play around with doing so as a goal. Seems like getting it above 50 would be a solid number to shoot for.

Had to stop today… doing legs, got extremely dizzy after squats. In light of some serious shit, I’m taking a lifting hiatus until my cardiologist appt on Friday.
- Kook, hopefully that's just a little vasovagal action or dehydration. Take care of yourself, I'm really glad you have a cardiologist appointment this week.
- On that front, exactly three weeks out from beating the widowmaker, my husband got clearance from cardiac rehab to lift (!) Cardiologist told him last week that golfing would be fine too and I've never seen a dude so thrilled to hit the simulator. ha.
- I did this conditioning circuit Saturday and I was in PAIN yesterday. Recommend.

Gonna make these this week for the kiddos. Bought some protein powder for them but they don't like it, so we'll give cookies a try with what's left.

We got a Ninja Creami. Wife has transitioned from her evening protein shakes to protein ice cream. Been working on different concoctions with Ghost protein powder, fair life milk and different mixers. That thing is super loud but stuff tastes pretty good and is smooth to boot.
-Staying the course sometimes is hard AF. Get a good weigh in and think.. "man, I've been strict and had a good weigh in, I''ll treat myself." Next thing you know it's 2 weeks later of "treating yourself and you've added 5lbs. Conversely, when I'm really on I'll want to do things like skip meals, not drink water, reduce protein/cals, just so my weight drops. Since 1/1 I've had like 5 or 6 total way out of bounds meals. 1 weekend was half. Kinda plateaued for a few weeks but today weighed in down 14#s from 1/1 and basically the same muscle mass without the normal loss of strength I get with my crash diets. Still in the 2400 calorie range. 200+ protein. I took evening carbs out and really focusing on drinking a shit ton of water. This has to be pretty close to my maintenance, maybe ~2800?
Anyway, next week is when I typically start my summer cut and I'm 10-11#s ahead of schedule. Spring Break is gonna be a mini bulk. Then goal is to drop 3 more % BF by May 16. Determination on how to final push to ultimate goal at that time. Probably will need a week or 2 reload.
-Little man has been seeing a trainer. She's more of a running coach but since it's off season they're doing some meathead stuff. He was so jacked about deadlifting 75#s for reps last night. More than his weight. Heart was full.
-Transparent Labs has some decent protein bars if you're into that sort of thing.
-Still mixing in mobility 3-4 times a week. It's a slow bitch.

What are you doing for mobility?
On protein bars, we've been eating barebells lately and those things are basically candy bars. They seem almost too good to be true. Are they full of stuff that would make RFK shudder or something?

I can't stomach the taste of any fake sugar, sugar substitute or sugar alcohols or whatever they call them. I've probably consumed a total of 20 oz of diet drinks in my entire life. I say this because barebells were suggested to me and I think they are as gross as any other protein bar.
Mostly a mix of dynamic stretching, CARS, Pails and Rails, and some weighted lifts moving in different planes. Start every session off with 2 sets x 2 exercises.
For folks with feet or toe issues. I found a resource that has me hopeful I can put this shit behind me. Been doing toe yoga, calf stretches, all kinds of toe stretches. It works, I just knock it out at my desk each morning.

I’ve been regularly eating protein bars for 15 yrs and always suspected they probably weren’t that beneficial. I ordered the David protein bars on kooks rec. Ive had to gag them down as they taste like shit but they seem substantially more “legit”

The oatmeal version is out of stock but it's legit good. I didn't care for the almond one. The peanut butter one is solid as well. When I go back up I'll probably add one of these and a 2nd serving of rice to get me at or right above maintenance.

Last little tip of the day. Picked up some creatine gummies. Anytime I get a sweet tooth I pop one of those.
I just started doing that a couple weeks ago - but mine are apple cider vinegar gummies. I have no idea if they’re even healthy.
