  • Aye, couple of days into the second week it was game over - I had weighed myself on the body composition scales before I went to see how much i'd put on, came back 3kg down & the rest has came off since then as I really wasn't eating properly until a week or so ago, 5kg off in 5 weeks is pretty wild so i'm determined to keep most of that off.

    Some will go back on in water weight as glycogen is restored & i've started taking creatine again but i'll be keeping an eye on my fat mass / % over the next few months - been maintaining a slight defecit recently but with ~1.5g protein / kg it should be enough to keep going in the right direction.

    Gonna aim for 140kg on the squat too - 3x3 at 120kg felt fine yesterday with no belt or knee wraps, (was previously doing 130) so i'll start creeping that up too... in hindsight I could have probably hit that and a 100kg bench in April/May but i'm wary of injuries, would rather have it comfortably than risk any setbacks

  • Sounds like a full 1/2/3/4 plate goal in the works 👀

    (60kg ohp, 100kg bench, 140kg squat, 180kg deadlift)

  • I would be happy with 0/1/2/3. The 0 would prob be the hardest for my lack of mobility.

  • That's a fair target alright - although looking back at my ohp numbers i've done a few reps at 62kg before, from memory that involved a fair push with the legs to get it moving though, so not sure that counts. Bench and squat should be achievable, but I haven't trained deadlifts for a couple of years & best I had then was ~140kg, still - food for thought!

    Nice work on the dl / squats - that's impressive!
