Reflecting on my past weeks, I believe the reason I was thinking I had hit a plateau because I was my loss rate was tapering off dramatically. The real reason is I was eating more and more. Still sticking to the foods I normally eat just more of it.
I had lost my calorie and macro sheet I had compiled several years ago and essentially I was winging it. The reason for the weight loss as I gave up beer and alcohol entirely, but eating the same types of foods. My motto was if I was going to eat carbs it would be in the form of an IPA (India Pale Ale).
By quitting beer, that brought my caloric intake to probably my maintenance level and with the surge in weight training, I was able to lose.
I started the Kill22 Challenge. Was able to do 2 sets of 11 assisted PUs at 22:00. Maybe it is from the killer chest workout this morning, but I will get back to full swing before this challenge is over.
I am glad I found this site as since I started (last Thursday), I realized I was way overeating. By bringing my calories down to REAL target levels, I was able to lose weight. Now that I am dialed in, and with my new weight program, it will be interesting to see what the next 8 weeks will look like.
Completed the workouts back to back. Two muscle groups together is a bit much. Chest was second, and it suffered a bit. I will likely go to split sessions when more than two groups involved.
Total weights lifted are as follows:
Back: 25,540 pounds
Chest: 10,620 pounds
Daily Total: 46,815 pounds
