Really busy this week + deload, so I didn’t bother even hitting the gym. Nutrition stayed on point, tho. Sitting at around 242-243 right now, leaner than I was at 228-230. Crazy. I’m Recomping without trying to. I feel I’d REALLY have to eat like shit to get fat on this blast. I literally drank a 12 pack of bud select on Friday night, woke up weighing less on Saturday.

Week 5, Day 1. Bench program

-Good bench session today. I think if I didn’t do volume beforehand, I could’ve gotten 245 for 8-10. Either way, I’m happy with where these numbers are going, for sure. Everything still feels good, no Tendonitis.

Sorry about the MIA bros. Pinched a nerve in my shoulder pretty bad and Life hit hard these last 2 weeks. A lot of family stuff, and to top it off, my shepherd got killed by a car this morning. Fun fucking times. Anyway, back at it…Giving up on full-on powerlifting for right now. Can’t stand being injured…Gonna learn from PA’s injuries, before I amass too many of my own, and just go for hypertrophy for a while.
