how were you eating before the cut?

total cals, or macros.. whatever if you were tracking.

Honestly I got lazy and didn't track. I was pretty sloppy though. Too much cake and too little protein.

Must've been eating through those sticking points!

Yeah I think my sloppier eating helped drive my strength to an extent, though it surely wasn't optimal. Thanks for stopping by my log by the way.

Bench 220x7
Press 135x5; 140x5; 145x---
Kroc rows: 90x10-20
Standing triceps extensions: 67x12/10/8

I picked a conservative weight for bench and found out it felt shockingly easy compared to some other recent sessions. Guess I recovered well. I felt like I could knock out an extra rep or two after the 7, but held back as I didn't want to fry myself on the first week of my cut.

I think I should go up in 10% increments opposed to 5% for my ramping presses as at these weights the 5% doesn't really create much of a discrepancy. I probably could have gotten 145 but 140 felt hard enough for today.

I had a little bit of sarcasm in my post

You look fairly lean already. You must carry it well. How tall are you?

Good luck w/ the leaning out. I'm trying to gain myself now, and am probably close to you body comp wise, but 20lbs lower bodyweight and weaker.
