Oi, blessed by leg day on this, the first day of the third cycle. By now you should have experienced massive gains and seen stalling in several areas so it's time to mix it up as I outlined in my previous posts. Remove what isn't working, update to what you're actually doing, rebalance to again make gains in stalled areas and continue to push those stubborn ones.
For me, I stalled on lunges, as if lunges beyond 3x15 without cheating is some hard limit. I am chipping away at it, but in three cycles it should have improved more.
I see people even girls doing lunges with extra weights and shit, fucking show offs. Idk if they're doing 15, I don't stare at people and so I'm not counting their reps.
I continue to lose weight, 202.5 awesome American units this morning. As compared with as much as what 214? I forgot what my local max was after summer. I'm doing a week of carnivore starting yesterday so that should purge the unholy carbs. I am full ketosis based on the flavor in my mouth and noticed no difference in energy or endurance. Leg day is a breeze though. I'll go back to some carbs at the end of the week. I will have to cut back more though. My weight has followed 12 lbs in 24 weeks so half a pound a week, not awful, just slow. However this slower pace has actually kept me from looking gaunt in the face which often happens with a diet level that attains 1lb/week.
I like the up and down, I just don't want it to get above 205 again because I feel heavy.
I did true pull-ups yesterday and dang, it was so easy, like not even comparable to what it was like at the end of summer.
I remember this back in 2019. Just like voot voot voot like launching the head up over that bar and 2023 summer just barely getting the nose over, so weak, so pathetic.
We pray to you, lord of gainz, help me be American and not Euro, help me be the strength that carries the world and not the pansies that complain about sand [n-words] but do nothing.
Ah-men
