    I believe elevated respiration and heart rate means shit about readiness for the next set. I agree with Tom's ascertion about work capacity for the prepared athlete. The gain lbm while on a deficit is a huge unknown. I don't like absolutes, they reveal what we don't understand. Adequate stimulation, hormones and protein seem to be important.

    Hanley was the inspiration for that one actually. Just the topic in general reminded me of how common it is to see powerlifters over-rest.

    I've heard Jordan's argument that it is impossible to gain muscle while losing fat. However, in my personal experience I was able to go from 203 pounds (~23%bf) to 190 pounds (~20% bf) over about 10 weeks and all of my lifts increased. I kept doing the same program that I had been running for about 5 months prior so I definitely do not believe there was any significant improvement to neural efficiency. I lost the weight by cutting back, not eliminating, junk calories (i.e. snack food, desserts, alcohol, processed food, etc.) The simplest explanation seems to me that I lost fat and gained muscle. If that's not possible than what happened?

    BW: 193.2lbs

    Competition Squat /w Belt: in KG
    190x5
    205x5@8, shoulda stayed here
    217.5x5@10, lol
    This was my third squat session this week so I had no business attempting a PR but I guess I have no discipline or respect for the process. 480lbs x 5 is a 5lbs PR. Cool to do it while fatigued but also stupid to do, too. I can't build on this next week.

    Medium Grip Pause Bench:
    110x6
    120x6
    130x6@9.75-10
    125x6@9.5
    This was another case of EGO lifting. Pinkies on rings. Idk what I'm doing today.

    Hammer Curl:
    35sx15,15,10
    30sx10

    GHR:
    BW+EZ Curl x 10 x 5

    Maybe because that junk had a lot of carbohydrates and salt so when you stopped eating them, you lost a lot of water. As explained here The Energy Balance Equation : Bodyrecomposition

    If you're looking for topics, I'd be interested in a video on mobility and warming up. I joined a black iron gym recently, and it seems like everyone does 15-20 minutes of mobility work as a warmup. Foam rolling, stretching, banded walks, etc.
