The Hell in Me

Moved provinces. Gyms are open.

Squat
315x5
365x3
405x3x5

Bench
135x5
185x5
225x5x5

No idea how I’m doing BW wise, but my caloric intake has drastically decreased now that I make all my meals, about 700 fewer/day, so about 1lb per week less.
Squat felt fine, no issues moving, felt strong, good speed.
Bench less fine, bit slower feeling. Will bench thrice/week to get good volume in.

BW is declining. Been a wild ride of 2020. Started around 320, by August I was around 270, by December I was at 310. Mostly due to physical activity being limited by weather/availability of equipment. On Jan 2 I cut out most carbs, am tracking food again. This morning I was 286.

I don’t know when all this will end, but I have to learn to be okay with doing things that aren’t SBD...well I guess just the SB part. 10 years ago I was training for a marathon, I was 180-190 and just started doing a few lifts to try to maintain some muscle and caught the iron bug.

While not my preference (I would rather be squatting with a barbell) I don’t want to be a big guy who “used to be strong” and then die because I couldn’t adapt.

also...that workout was trash. My conditioning was non existent.

Drove for about 13 hours yesterday. I feel it today. Scale said 284 yesterday. Will not be weighed until Saturday or Sunday. Interested to see if this trip impacts me at all.

Bodyweight is between 270-280 now. Gyms possibly reopen on Feb 8. Not sure if that is a definite at this point.
 
Did KB swings M/W x500, Fx200

KB Swing x500 all sets of 50. My forearms were fatigued.
 
Still swinging my kettlebell. Gyms reopened, so started lifting, although nothing worth logging. I bought a stationary bike that arrived today and I took it on its maiden spin.

Down about 40ish lbs since December.
 
Been alternating squat/bench/KB days.
Not really following a program since gym closure is still likely to happen. But it’s nice to just push some weight. I only have the one KB, yesterday I was doing double KB swings at the gym and it was more comfortable than the single KB. So I may need to get a pair of lighter bells to go with the 24kg one I have.

I bought a stationary bike and have been starting and ending my days with a ride.

Consistently between 265 and 270 now. Was around 300-320 in November, still have a ways to go, but it’s progress.
