Weekday Update, Because it’s too late to claim the weekend.

So, two weeks since the last update. So, pretty much my weight continued to increase, though my measurements remained about the same. For this two week period, I’d added 15 minutes of treadmill running to the end of my workout (which I will continue into the next two weeks). Then last week, I changed my train day/rest day breakdown from +10%/-35% to -10%/-30% (though using the same TDEE from when my weight was 194lbs). The good news is that I’m now seeing a reversal of the weight gain and hopefully it will continue it’s downward trajectory.

I think I’d mentioned another powerlifting meet to take place in April. After getting the correct date (April 15th), I’m now gunning for squatting 330lbs, benching 220lbs, and deadlifting 420lbs in the gym y the meet. Then with the help of adrenaline and caffeine, probably hit up to 230lbs on the bench and 450 deadlifting in the meet.

Luckily, the meet coincides with the start/end of a two-week cycle for me because following it, I’m going to be switching things a bit in an attempt to speed up my weight loss. So I’ll be departing from “leangains” a bit in the second half of April, still eating leangains style but adding an hour of treadmill on my “rest” days (with one true rest day per week). I’m hoping I can be 195lbs by the meet and 185lbs by the end of the month.

Strength stats will be from two weeks ago to now.

• Bench press: 205×1 -> 210×3
• Squat:             305×2 -> 320×2
• Deadlift:         405×1 -> 410×2
• Chinup:          +50×7 -> +60×4
