Squat 3 x 5 - N/A
I waited for the squat rack for 30 minutes and had to get a move on so I ended up doing leg presses to the equivalent of around 225 pounds. Felt good, feet turned out my hips have no issues this week. The amount I can do here vs squat makes me think either my “core” is weak or I’m not doing something right on squat. Really considering getting with a trainer at least once.
Press 3 x 5 - 105 lbs
Almost too light today on this. I think I had a major jump in strength and it shows. I’m gong to up it to where I’m running a 35lb plate on each side next workout and see where that takes me.
Deadlift 1 x 5 - 135 lbs
Whoa nelly. I change my form closer to what the book shows and it got MUCH harder and felt like I worked more muscles. I think this weight should stay the same for the next session until I get my form down. I was gassed at the end of this set but I also wasn’t resting properly between other sets due to time constraints.
all in all today was semi successful and I can feel myself getting stronger. Dietary changes such as adding two eggs to my breakfast seem to have helped fill the void that was once there between breakfast and lunch. Keto seems to be okay for now on this strength training program, we shall see how long I can go without breaking out the carbs though. As of right now my weight is 189.8 so I’m still losing weight vs gaining but that was my ultimate goal anyways since beginning at my starting weight. Till next time
