    Robert,
    I’m 10 days into my LP and I’ve been tracking my nutrition per Nicholas Racculia’s instructions just to see how my body responds.

    Male, 26, 5’5”

    I weighed in on 5 July at 154.4 lb with a waist circumference of 31.5”. This morning (15 July), I weighed in at 157.2 lb with no change in waist. All lifts are progressing, nothing coming close to a stall.

    Average count/day
    Calories: 2988
    Protein: 172
    Carbs: 271
    Fat: 133

    Thoughts?

    Thanks for posting buddy. What are your lifts currently at? I’d say roll with this if it is working

    Thanks for the reply.
    My lifts as requested as of tonight below.
    Squat 135 -> 175
    Bench 120 -> 130
    Press 75 -> 85
    Deadlift 175 -> 215

    I’ll keep things rolling how they are unless you say otherwise.

    Thanks again, Robert!

    Yep drive those up. Especially that deadlift, don't be timid with it, you can lift more than you think. If you start having a hard time, push your weight up a few lb and see how that works. Both fat and muscle help with driving progress under the bar so don't be timid with weight gain at this stage in the game.
