It's slow going but I never lost strength this way...and it was fairly effortless as mornings are pretty easy to stay busy and keep your mind off food. After 2-3 weeks though your weight loss tapers off and should go back to normal routine. You'll gain a few lbs back but then stabilize...or at least I did. As for deadlifts...like you I never could get my form down. I would make micro corrections as I constantly was trying to get it to feel natural. In the end those micro corrections caused a muscle spasm which tweaked my lower back, pulled my left hip up and took me out of the game for 3 months, with pain that I still have 2 years later. My advice would be if you're struggling with your form, keep the weight VERY light where you're not struggling. Focus more on the form where it feels natural at that weight..then start increasing...SLOWLY. I was doing 405 when I threw my back. Now I'm at 225 and absolutely refuse to go heavier. |

I can't remember what I was doing when I did do dead lifts when I was younger. I don't do them now as I have lower back issues. Oh and I'm 6'5". |

The two counts you want to focus on are AST and ALT.

I do dead some and not sure I can comment much. Im 6 foot and had the feeling at times I'm trying to get knees out of the bar path which forces you to straighten legs early and be out of position. Focus on dragging up shins pretty much and watch some video of technique. Allan thrall comes to mind but others may chime in.

Swam last night. Broke down and ordered a center-snorkel. Seemed like it could work, IF I get teh nose plugs now. I made it about 1.5 laps before I just couldn't stop snorting water. Old habits die hard. . . .

I feel like sh!t. Haven't been in the gym all week, nor done any cardio (run 4mi after every workout but leg day), doing stuff on the new house every day after work, and doing more today. Ugh maybe I'll make it in tomorrow and just go full-body...

Try to get a homeworkout in. Obviously doesn't beat the gym, but you can at least stretch out and do some HIIT training if you'd like. Prolly hot as hell there like it is here, so maybe catch a run later in the evening. Your body is probably enjoying the time off!

I'm just using this as an excuse for a rest week, so I can hit super hard next week.

Well she promised to do a run to the beach with me this afternoon once I finish up, so I've got that going for me. (we're about 1.2 mi away, tough life I know, but we've got a door route that's around 4.5 mi)

Getting off the creatine lol, only been a week, but I'm holding so much water it is ridiculous. Got about 3 weeks til vacation, might just start leaning out idk lol.
Hit shoulders saturday, chest sunday, and arms this morning. Each day with a solid bit of cardio. Future mother-in-law was in down the last few days, so diet was off, with that said I didn't drink a lot this weekend so that helped. We will see how this week goes! |

Outdoor work all this past weekend. Cutting tree limbs off the cabin @ 7000' KILLS, especially shoulders when using the 20' extension with a saw while standing on 8' ladder, on a slope.
Then there is the walking up/down said slope, dragging the brush to a cutting spot. Drove 180 miles Saturday, got to the cabin about 5:45, and STILL got in over 14,000 steps. For reference, I work at 11' . . . |

It is funny how your goals change, a few years ago I just wanted to be a massive freak. Now, and this partially has to do with work/business goals, I'd rather stay more lean. I still hold a solid bit of muscle, so I don't have the drive I use to in order to get massive lol |

Man it was nice to get back yesterday. Monday is International Chest Day afterall, but I made the most of it.
I take a small scoop of creatine with each protein shake, just to help enhance the little that the body creates. I don't take enough to really cause myself to retain water (and I avg. 2+ gallons water/day out of habit). I haven't loaded up on that since HS and even then, I don't think that it helped much then
