De-loading (dropping weights down) this week instead of taking a full-on recovery week.
I may need to work on barbell bench form - my clavicle and sternum areas have "popping" this week - no pain, but I'm still gonna back off for a minute.
I've been making incredible progress at the gym with the additional calories, so I can afford the step back to take two more forward soon👍🏼
I've finally perfected my workout for bulking after weeks of trial and error! I found my "sweet spot" for rep ranges and have simplified it all to basic compound lifts with some ancillary work for the baby muscles.
Progressive overload will come quickly since I've dumped the weights down, so I'm looking at my routine and reminding myself "it's only temporary, Jorge." 💪🏼

You are doing great! You are very patient. I bought some barbells, still in box, but will be breaking them out soon.

Have you tried the 60%, 70%, 80% process? We reduce our lifting weight every 3 weeks & work back to MAX. Our high end reps are 8 & that is at the 60% level.

The diet and exercise have to feed into all aspects in a way. I get frustrated sometimes thinking 'surely I live to do more than earn money and lose weight'. Then I settle down and recognize the ripple effect.

omg fulla bella, I can totally relate to the earning money and losing weight thing.. that is all I think about lately. Maybe its cause I have no money and glad to have a job.. but I want to retire.. .so I figure at least I can lose weight. be health , broke and old , instead of unhealthy broke and old. lol
