2 weeks in the deficit starting to notice some small differences especially around the love handels and my ribs more noticeable. All very slightly though. Lost 1,5kg so far

How is your diet going @GordoDeCentral

As you can see my refeed day did me a lot of good, still got carrying some water but that's normal

I got into the science behind that a few days ago. Never knew carbs contained so much water. The cheat day/meal is more about muscle perseverance than sticking trough your diet continuously, who would’ve thought.

Great physique btw man! Crazy lats

You squat in those sneakers?

Not those, but i dont use special squat shoes, i never go too heavy with squats, i go around 315-365 max for reps. TBH i only like to do squats to turn my CNS on, i find machines much better at working out legs.

That's nice to hear since that might be all I really should be doing from now on

Can you safely work out your hammies?

I have been working everything, but light. At this point I just walk into physical therapy and hit every machine there since no one is going to stop me . Still a bit of swelling around the knee, and hurts to kneel on it. I've been pushing it back for not being 100% long enough, going to return to the gym Friday and see how it goes.

Imho just use bands for legs, and for every other body parts use seated machines negating legs completely. Let it heal.

Good going, dude.

I squatted 80kg for 4 sets of 5 yesterday. So far from where I was pre-injury, but it feels good to push the weight over 60kg for the first time post-injury. No pain, minimal swelling.

It’s the being on my feet all day, moving around, walking, etc that does a number on my knee for swelling. It’s hard to avoid it though, now that I’m working lots again.

The cold compress usually helps me with that at physical therapy, have you tried that?

Cheat meal yesterday (pizza prosciutto with some extra mozzarella and had a half bag of those chocolate peanuts). I learned how bad our nutrition usually is, could immediately visit the toilet several times and had gastric acid all night. Didn’t gain any weight as opposed to a week ago when I had a cheat meal.

Great home workout

Frigged up my lower back doing leg presses of all things.

Think it's just a strain but damn, so stiff I can barely move.

Shit, keep your butt on the seat, always! Ice and ibuprofen

It's stupid. I've done leg press forever without a problem. Last week I watch some video about how low you should go on leg press, the guy says go as low as you can as long as your ass stays on the seat so your back doesn't round. I think, yeah makes sense.

Next session, I go too low and do my back in

Does your gym have horizontal legpress? I personally like those and i do go really low with them, no risk

Love em! Especially the kind where you can adjust the back arch

I'll try it going forward

Glad I skipped the first half of Jj to hit some extra sets of shoulder and triceps today
