🫠 Update No.15 – Progress and Pain 🫠

Since last update I have lost 5kg in weight putting me at a nice 110kg ( from my starting weight of 115kg or around 250lbs ), my bench PR so technically I can once again bench press my bodyweight. I’m hoping to go beneath 110 into 105 but we will have to see how that goes.

The fast is definitely a challenge, the discipline and self-control extent of it becomes routine enough, ruining that makes things much harder but nonetheless I am still moving forward. The main challenge for me is lack of energy due to nutrient deficiency and my naturally high impact style of training and physical activity.

Today was deadlift day, typically a back and arm day, but due to a wrist injury I am playing it safe and avoiding training arms the way I typically do. So today was exclusively deadlifts, my goal was to do 180kg, 3 sets, 3 reps but after one set I was unable to muster the strength to do more so I decided to challenge myself in a different domain because I refuse to leave a session of training so bare bones.

I ended up doing 100kg for 50 reps, not consecutively but I still managed to complete the 50 and my lower back was as stiff as wood, truly very tight.

My main goal this year is to pull 500lbs or around 227kg off the ground but that will have to wait until I am eating sufficiently again, once I am lighter.
