Deadlifts up - Body weight down…
Yesterday was a great day in the gym. Despite my decreased carbohydrate and caloric intake I was able to manage a new personal best for deadlifts. My workout went something like this:
135 x 8 (warm up)
225 x 8
365 x 8
455 x 2 (solid and with great form)
495 x 1 (all I had left)
This is 20 lbs. heavier than my last max of 475 lbs. about a month ago.
I should have just put on another 5 lbs. on it and killed my goal of 500 lbs. In any event, I am still happy with this lift.
In terms of bodyweight I am down about 6 lbs. since last monday. I am sure some of it is water, a little bit is fat, and the rest is due to having less undigested food in mah belly (I was eating A LOT when bulking). I have reduced my caloric intake through portion control and carb reduction.
Gotta get them abs…
