    Despite the deficit diet I had tons of energy today.

    Bwt 223.8 plummeting..cutting is easy, just shove less stuff in your pie hole. Measuring helps qualify that it is indeed less.

    Deadlift
    135x5,225x4,315x3
    405x1,455x1
    525x1@8
    415x6x4

    Bench tng
    45x10,135x5,185x3
    205x5,215x5,225x5x3

    High bar pause squat no belt or sleeves
    45x10,135x5,225x3
    315x5x3. Again easy but no pressure to push more work on this slot. I am up to 18 work sets for lower body this week from 14 last. No need to thrash myself as Sunday is the more important competition squats.

    Decided to push the final bench assistance slot and chin-ups and fluff to Tommorow. Adding a 4th day to spread the load and keep times reasonable.

    Bwt 223

    NGBP
    45x10x3,1355,185x3
    205x6x3

    Chin-ups 6,6,7
    Could do more work on these but this seems effective at the moment and I don’t see a reason to take the time or resources. Lp these back to decent getting easier with the weight loss of course. So I wore jeans with belt, sweatshirt and all that stuff to keep,the weight close to the same.

    Weekly lower body work sets
    18 with 93 total working reps

    Weekly upper body pressing sets
    19 with 110 total working reps.

    Feels pretty sustainable

    223.2

    Squat
    45x10x3,135x5,225x3,275x2
    315x1,365x1,405x1
    465x1
    365x5x6sets

    Testing more volume and lower intensity for my Worksets every other week. More building less testing.
    2ct pause bench 1”ff chest
    45x10,135x5,185x3
    205x5x4

    Superset
    RDLS 135x5,225x5,315x8x3 lighter version this week I think deficit SLDL is more effective but it has a wear and tear factor On me I need to be aware of so I insert a very light version every now and then to get some work but reduce some stress.
    Chins 5x5

    Press

    145x5x3

    All work today was easy just working on developing the tolerable volume aspect. The discipline is not to worry about the working weights(and satisfy the ego with working set loads) and let the volume accumulation have a Chance to work.

    The progress in this slot is qualitative not quantitative. I am making progress.

    A little fatigue accumulating.
