Today was measuring day of Week 2 into Ketosis. Also had a shoulder and abs workout today.
Took the routine pictures and stats log. Weight on the scale didn't change much, maybe .25 kg at max, but the visible changes on the mirror are quite astonishing. Back 'feels' more ripped than it has been in a long long time, liking the chest definition quite a bit. Standing in front of the mirror without any pump or anything, abdominal wall was quite visible and peeking through...motivated a bit further to see the results at the end of 4 weeks and then 6 depending on how long we need to go.
Lifts are kind of stagnant, not much of an improvement, hit the same old PR 135 for 3 reps, and 3 was super slow, but lifted with a different technique, the CNS wasn't adapted to, so acceptable I guess. Increased lifts in other shoulder exercises though, hit a 405lb Rack Pull from the 2nd level for 1 rep, after that I believe I attempted a 385 and couldn't even get that lol. Fried I guess.
If at all the only thing I'm questioning, is the number on the scale, everytime I have cut before, I go for a 1kg/week rate of loss, this comes out to ~ 8-9kgs or so that I lose over 6 weeks including water and glycogen of the 1st week. I personally feel the aesthetics for me strike at ~77-78kg, I have never found reason enough to go below that up until now. Let's see how long it takes to reach there, or if we even have the need to reach there at all.
Hope everyone else is making good progress and improving performance as well!
Next post going to come up pretty soon, w.r.t Broscience or 'I've heard this stuff' vs Scientific Facts.
