It wasn’t the cut that did me in, that was fine and successful, it was the work, life, and financial stress on top that burned me out. That and that I didn’t take a diet break like I should have.
Ya I started light, at
155 squat
95 press
245 deadlift
135 bench.
Now at as of tomorrow, and Monday for press
245 squat
160 bench
345 deadlift
120 press.
All of which easy, except annoyingly the press, which in the past used to fly up.
