Today was a pretty good day. Did chest at the gym. I need to improve my bench press form... I do it too far up my chest and don't go all the way down. Even with the incorrect form, I only managed 135 for 6, which remains my top.
Eating wise, it went well. I'm not counting EXACT calories, but I definitely am looking at the nutrition for everything and making sure it adds up to around where my macros are supposed to be, a little more or a little less maybe. Had a delicious eye of round steak with seasoning for dinner.
Still feeling very motivated. I was tempted as I was looking for something to eat, but managed to overcome the temptation and pick up the beef jerky instead of chips. Adkins protein shakes are a welcome addition to my day and added some much needed sating to my sweet tooth.
After the gym, I grew slightly frustrated with myself... my form for the main compound lifts is very sloppy. I've just begun to fix my deadlift... the full squat is impossible because of my differing leg lengths, and the bench press is a total mess. I have to keep reminding myself that I've been cutting for the past year. Even so, I've made great strides. I've gone from struggling to db press 30 lb dbs to working on the 60's. It's not fast progress, but at least it's progress. I swear to God I will be one of the best looking cats on campus next school year if I die trying.
I'm going to be gone most of Friday and Saturday, so I will work out again tomorrow instead of Friday.
