dcDogz very normal log

ok full rundown

sooo good news first

174.5 same as yesterday which is perfect!
with the refeed today we can see how it affects my weight tomorrow if it all. probably a little id imagine.

push went really well
not gonna post numbers since im super behind today but basically maintained still!
with the extra carbs I felt really damn good, and felt like i coulda gone really hard buuuut I had to be careful because i have little injury.
its like a little tear/sprain on my tricep/bicep area.

its super minor, and doesnt hurt or look wierd and full range of motion. I was ultra careful today and was kinda able to figure out what feels sketchy and what doesnt.
super annoyed since I actually dont know w hen or how it happened.
I noticed this bruise LAST week, but I thought it was a pinch from bjj so didnt really pay any attention to it, but after yesterday and today realized it was a little more serious then I thought.
its not bad, but babying it so i can get through this shit. it just feels funny/tight/weak at times.
really noticed it on rope pushdowns today, not much else.
and like i mentioned its not like it HURT on rope pushdowns, and I didnt feel like I couldnt do my weight but I felt extra tension/pressure so i just dropped weight on it and repped it out a little.
didnt aggravate it at all what soever today so all good really, just letting it rest and heal up. Im not even sure if it isnt a bjj bruise lol but it feels weird and we are in prep so
im not taking any risks. on some of the pec exersizes i did feel a slight kinda tingle twitch but nothing really. so seems fairly safe to be honest.
just gotta get past upper this sunday and ill be careful that day too.

so today was probably my last day of bjj, said bye to my bros. rolled super light, and getting my cardio in later today.

beyond that we gravy baby, and great timing for some extra carbs to heal up, im sure var will help a little too, plus bpc.
 
I knew that shit was too easy. I went back and double checked my Amazon subscription and found out that the sneaky cock suckers changed it from 54 to 27 servings. I canceled that shit and just bought 2 tubs on Walmart. For 69 bucks, a piece
Thx @WED
The only issue on the Walmart site was that they have a limit of 2
 
174.5 no change!

Teeter tottered 174.0 and 174.1 then settled .5 🫠

Pretty good tho!

Took it easy today.
Steam deck died, had trouble falling asleep.
Not too bad but felt kinda beat up.
My body was so fckin hyped to tear it up, had to listen to my mind.
Mind was screaming be careful today.
Arm is good felt a twitch on delt cables a little, and on prone rows once on warm up other then that felt fine.

Just played it safe and deloaded weight a little. Felt pretty good over all today.

Same foods! From Wednesday just chicken no skrimps 😞

Gonna get some steps before i leave gym slowly.

Like 3k just because im tired and getting steps on leg day so hard. Keeping that NEAT up. Its also supposed to rain today. Getting little head start.

Now we have a baseline of refeeds.

Another subtle win for me at least was that i was a little worried extra food might send my hunger crazy or maybe i wouldn't be able to handle it. But was totally A-okay jumping sorta off diet and back on.

I was so obese not that long ago really so being able to control myself always suprises me.

Bro, it's crazy how the body reacts.I think about it, and a month and a half ago I was doing nine hundred grams of carbs a day... Now i'm down to 3 hundred and almost have to force myself to eat. Some of that might be my condition and the medication, but still it's just amazing to see

173.2! new low! down 2.6 for the week.

About to check in with coach since im up a little early.

Slept damn good last night thankfully.
Im just up super early so little waiting game before cardio since i got the dogs in the garage and dont want to let them out at 3 am lol.

I feel fckin good tho yesterday i felt pretty down.

I did wake up a little hungry not bad yet.

Bjj promos today, might get a stripe, maybe nothing.

Dont care just like hanging out keeping busy.
Might go to jasons deli after and ill eat some of the salad bar lettuce, if anything.

Arm feels alright cant really tell until tomorrow start lifting. Playing it safe.

gonna start peeling shrimp soon then do my AM fasted cardio and grill up a bunch of those shrimps.
 
173.8

Lol so i went to bed like 930 little late for me. No biggie enjoyed some family time and decided not to stress about sleep. Its fucked up might as well have fun fuck it.

take a bath, Checked weight and was pretty light. Thought might get new low
Well I wake up feel kinda groggy get on scale and kinda heavy hmm.

Okay whatever pin, toss var and clen mouth. Letting it disolve and put watch on 1130pm lol. Wtf oh god. Spit var and clen out and hop back in bed. Thank god fell asleep and woke up feeling fckin great. Even had a little chuckle to myself driving to gym at how awesome i felt. Just super rested. Rare feeling atm.

Pretty okay upper
Was super conservative and careful since have no idea how got injured.

Felt fine tho deloaded 5 ish pounds across the board roughly. Took my time good warms ups all that good stuff.

No changes in foods.
Getting steps in atm just like 30 min light.
Last week didnt do this and had to catchup end of day about 2.2k and was super annoying. Getting the 2k right now so dont have to worry about it later.
 
172.6
New low playas 😎

Slept so so, made some dinner adjustments and didnt seem to affect me one way or another so keeping it since it was pretty tasty.

Pretty good lower today

Increased var dose a little and uh felt that pump pretty nasty lol

Good lord

Had to drop a little hack.

Getting light steps and even that walking flat 1.5 its brutal!

Pretty good either way still maintaining surprisingly and im.now down 25/26 lbs
Starting week off 1.5 down but since friday scale not moving toooo much anymore slowing down just a tad, to be expected.

Dinner adjustments rest same

really torched them.
fkcin hell man.

fatigue setting in a bit more, some days its pretty fckin bad like yesterday, for whatever reason my low day it was easy as shit.
i wasnt really hungry some how, and i was g2g all day.

wierd but whatever ill take any little good days atm since most are pretty mid and just getting by the skin of my teeth.

hobby lobby had puzzles on sale, and me and family have been working on them non stop. pretty fun, work on it 30 min, stop go do shit, come back to it. rinse and repeat all day.
never really a puzzle guy but we're having a good time with it.

arm is feeling better sorta, and bruising gone. i get a twitch every so often in the tricep, but other then ropepushdowns nothing really HITS it where its like oh shit this did it.
rear machine pec deck felt a little funny but def not that.

i stressed tested it one set on delt cables and seemed okay. just gonna give it another week or so before really getting after it until i feel like im in the clear.
basically im just stopping like 1 or 2 rir roughly. once i feel it get kinda tight i stop rigth there. i dont need any more problems i got enough right now lol.

I have and use this. Almost bought their half round nug things and just bought a $15 foam roller half. I love the stretch I get on it during flies vs a flat bench

They go in between your shoulder blades. Helps open up your chest some. Def feel a bigger stretch.

On legs: Using this occasionally is fine, but I would only use it occasionally. There are a number of negatives that come with it such as more knee stress, limits ankle and hip mobility and masks a number of limitations that you don’t necessarily want masked. once you start using it, it’s very hard to go back. That’s all I’m saying and will weaken the issues you are trying to mask. Just my two cents.😉

great pull sesh I think i maintained literally everything maybe a rep lost here and some gained. not even gonna bother with the numbers right now im tired lmao.


I have unfollowed on insta every single influencer that posts food lol.
im only following one, who is pretty big 100kfollowers, since he trains bjj with me. he doesnt really post anything Im interested anyway.

Been browsing menus non stop for post show food. Its a little cathartic for me atm, and a good time waster when im hungry.
well see how long that makes me feel better before I delete my browser.
Mostly settled on a burger post show. Just a matter of picking where.

top 3 for me atm is
shake shack
5 guys
cheesecake factory

ive only been to shake shack one time, maybe 2/3 years ago and I had one bite from my kids and I have never stopped thinking about it lol.
im not really a burger guy or anything but that did something to my taste buds so maybe ill indulge this one time if I make it.

theres a bunch of bougie places I could probably pick that would technically be better, but aoili, hollandaise, arugalla bull shit not really my thing. rather keep it simple.
