Joe's NLP Log
My motivation here is to keep myself accountable. I feel that I've progressed OK but I might have gone overboard on the eating part of The Program and put on too much bodyfat. I had a two week break in August and got covid on a separate occasion which combined probably took off three weeks of progress. My form on the deadlift also sucked for a while and I kept resetting it to try to get better.
I've never strength trained before (went to the gym years ago but never stuck with it and didn't have a plan). I'm not very active besides playing disc golf and going on walks.
I was tracking my calories at the beginning and was eating 3500+ calories daily with lots of ground beef, steaks, milk, rice, potatoes, juice and vegetables. I got lazy and stopped tracking but I'm starting to track again because I'm feeling like I weigh too much for how weak I am.
I'm 31 and 5'11".
