I failed to do cardio today, but I did get a nap and sometimes that's more important
Got a good chest workout tonight. I get a little frustrated at my lack of strength sometimes. Lifting lighter than I used to. A couple years ago I was benching close to 150 for 1rm, sets for reps were always 105 or more. Today I did sets at 65, 95, 85, 75, and 65 again. I'm working out really hard. Didn't take any time off. It sucks to see the numbers so low.
I'm spending a lot more time under tension and taking much shorter breaks. I'm sure those factors play into it.
I dont train for strength, so I try not to focus on those numbers, but I admit it still bothers me.

Had a good diet day. Stayed on track.

Have a great week, everyone!

You always lose strength while cutting calories. It sucks. I don't train for strength, but subconsciously I still want to bench press a truck one day.
But I did hear when that happens (loss of strength due to cal deficit), you should keep the weight the same (if able) and do less reps. Buuuutttttttt who knows. I feel like a lot of these "experts" are really just making conjecture and there is really no science to back it up when it comes to stuff like this.

Got some cardio this morning. Did some skating skill drills. Not too intense, but a little something to get back into it

Had a good diet day: egg whites, chicken, more chicken, steak, and protein "ice cream". And plenty of veggies. Low fat, low carb day

My motivation is high bc I'm feeling so fat lately. Big weight bump after my cheat meal Saturday

I'll start posting my weight and pics

Night y'all!
