I was a bit worried about weighing myself this afternoon (got to the gym a little later than I would have liked, but oh well) because fasting has left me a little… deficient in the fiber category, let’s say.
Last night I supplemented some fiber as well as some magnesium. Got rid of a week’s worth this morning. Felt like a workout in itself 
I weighed in a 163lbs. and 19.5% bodyfat. I suspect a lot of water loss here, and it does edge my lean mass closer to 130 than 135, but I’m not worried. I’ve had carb-depletion phases in the past that have done the same thing to me.
All my lifts went up, so maybe I’m just optimistic for that reason. Bodyweight go down + lifts go up = Happy Eric!
Dynamic Warm-up
I warm up for upper and lower back independently (I don’t do a warm-up on the rows), but before I do my first warm-up set with deadlifts, I do 20 shoulder circles and 20 leg swings, each limb.
Deadlift
- 1×2 @ 200lbs. (left under)
- 1×3 @ 180lbs. (left over)
- 1×4 @ 160lbs. (left under)
Chin Assist
- 1×5 @ 50lbs. offset
- 1×4 @ 60lbs. offset (I don’t think I’m jumping down far enough)
- 1×6 @ 85lbs. offset (this felt like enough but I was FINISHED)
Horizontal Row
3×5 @ 70lbs.
No cardio today. Dad was nice enough to go out of his way to take me to the gym after mom ditched me this morning, and I didn’t want to him waiting. Nor do I like to spend more time than I have to in the gym after deadlifting, so… heh 
While I was getting a breather at the chin station, I overheard this (ERC = me):
| BRO: Girl, what you tryin’ to do? Git over here. CHK: Uh, you know. Just… trying to build up my legs. Lose some fat. BRO: You need to be doing squats! ERC: *INTEREST PIQUED* BRO: Here you go, squats releases chemicals in your body so fat comes off your belly. CHK: …Okay. How do I do one? ERC: *LOOKS OVER* BRO: *sits her down in a leg press machine* ERC: *FACEPALM* CHK: How many do I do? BRO: How many SHOULD you do, or how many do I RECOMMEND? ERC: (this is a surprisingly good question…) CHK: …what do you recommend? BRO: Bout five sets of ten. ERC: *DOUBLE PALMS TO FACE* |
…so then I did my chins.
And my girlfriend called to ask me to help her with her training when she gets her car. I have no idea how people, who have no idea what my training schedule is, still manage to call me with fitness concerns while I’m dealing with my own. Story for another time.
