DECENT session tonight, kinda all over the place. Very happy with the pull-ups. I am not really sure about my previous DB OHP strength having not performed it one hand at a time very often in the past. And I used the ambiguous lat pulls station for rope pushdowns since it was set up and, like, right there. I don't really care about how much I was moving... consider not knowing a reason to do less pussy machine training.

SO ABOUT THE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM
Here's the skinny. I'd decided early April that, so long as I could maintain my current weight while building strength consistently, I'd keep myself progressing for my upcoming competition by marginally increasing my daily calories. I'm still in a calorie deficit (around 2200 - 2500 per day) most days of the week.

I'm heavier than I expected to be right now. In truth, I appear to have stopped losing weight and started gaining again. I weighed myself at home last Friday (on my unreliable, piece of shit scales) and hit 131 kgs (289 lbs). I've also checked myself at the Pit on Sunday (after a litre of milk and fruit+protein shake) and tonight, prior to training. I weighed in at pretty much exactly 134 kgs each time.

Less than two months ago I weighed 130 kgs (and I hit 129 kgs on my unreliable, piece of shit scales... there are new ones being shipped to me very soon thank jebus). I'd recently bought a new pair of pants in a size I hadn't been able to wear for years... they only just fit. And one of my new shirts (the first one I bought for motivation some two years ago) also finally fit just right... almost. A little tight around the waist when seated, but not enough to be uncomfortable.

YAWN

So anyway these boring details all for a reason. Last night I had dinner out, and wore these same pieces of clothing. The pants were looser-fitting round the waist and the shirt was actually loose while seated! Not to mention, at approximately 4 kilos heavier than I intended to be at this stage, I'm also hitting new PRs on bodyweight exercises and feeling a deal more comfortable.
