200KG X 12 deficit deadlift - woke up this morning feeling shakey with sweats. But really wanted to send it! Stoked to be able to get 12 despite feeling rubbish the entire day.
Never judge how you feel first thing in the morning or even before the gym. Always go and warm up and just see what happens. Worst case scenario, you just donβt do the workout. But you never know.
Rig update - Getting close to 5K calories and still maintaining 6 pack with veins etc weighing 93 (I was 94 a few weeks ago but my body has adjusted to this level of food and is starting to get me lean again lol)
The metabolism will adjust to any level of food you give it (provided they are whole foods IIFYM DOES NOT COUNT. And also changing ingredients all the time doesnβt count either it slows down everything) Which is honestly mind blowing because my whole day revolves around getting the food in. To be losing weight and struggling to get it down is crazy stuff.
Measuring whatβs happening to your body each week is crucial for knowing when to go up in calories. Having never been on this level of food before we decided to let the body settle at this amount because any increase before hand would have just resulted in fat gain. Which is pointless.
We are up 3KG since starting this bulk a couple months ago. My belly pinch was 5-6ML then and is only 7 now. A lot of my muscle definition looks the same, but now we are up 3KG and looking/feeling fuller π
Goal is to bulk, but never lose the abs in doing so.
In a couple months time we will be on 5K calories and high rep conventional deadlifting. Very, very keen for this.
thank you as always β€οΈ
