Need to update here for the past few days.

Friday: Great training session today, felt strong, and started doing my front squats full depth, as far down as I can go. Was pleasantly surprised to get my last set out at 165x3 all the way down. My uni deadlifts and uni bent over db rows felt good and strong as well, using the 90lb DB for a couple of sets on the rows. Nutrition was great today as well. I had a 200 calories worth of extra raviolis at dinner, and god was I full. Went out had 6 beers between 9-2. Woke up this morning at a surprising 186.4 over a pound lighter than yesterday.

Saturday: Felt like shit all day, and did practically nothing. Slept most of the day and got a little homework done. Had no energy but I forced myself to go to the gym. Cut my intervals one short as my legs had nothing left in them and I was starting to cramp. Got off the bike and I was a little shaky on my feet for 5-10 minutes. My legs were definitely worked from the weeks training. Did my chest work which felt good, but my tris were definitely feeling toasted and were holding me back. Really had no energy and ended up cutting my ab work in half. Felt good to get in there, but afterwards I was absolutely exhausted. I ate well today, but at a lot, probably had upwards of 4000 calories. Brought some cheese into the diet, and got a big sandwich for lunch that had mayo on bacon on it so a bunch of extra calories there. Was just happy to get into the gym today with the way I was feeling. I'm going to try and do the next 2 weeks starting Monday of no drinking at all, and sticking to my diet. Going out on Friday night seems to really throw me out of wack for a couple of days so I think it is going to have to stop. Was 187lbs today.

Sunday: No gas in the tank today either. Slept until 1 and then went to work until 11. Ate okay today, but had a bunch of extra calories again. Probably around 3500 or so. Was 188.8 this morning, definitely shows how when I eat a bunch of extra food how it sits in my body for a while, probably will take a couple of days to lean back out.

Monday: Great training session today. Had to change up the bulgarian squats for front squats because of gym equipment usage. Busted a nice set of fronts squats for 175x3 all the way down. Overall training felt good. I was a little tired so I was going a little slower than normal but got myself through my workout and felt good. Had some nice deads, sticking to straight reps/weight did 5 sets of 315x3 really focusing on accelerating as I was picking the weight up instead of picking it up at an even tempo. Also got a couple sets of side presses out for 60x3 which was good. Nutrition was right on today, stuck exactly to my plan and had about 2100 calories. Looking forward to another good day tomorrow. Cheers.
