I remember learning that most weight loss occurs through breathing, i just didn't know it was from moisture loss. Perhaps that's a separate, additional weightloss to the loss from cellular respiration (and thus breathing out CO2 and whatnot)

Wait why am I annoyed. I lost 12lbs in 4 weeks (both starting and ending weight dry fasted). That's 3 pounds a week and didn't lose any strength!

45º Incline DB Bench Press (Superset B)
65's x 5
80's x 3

Ok whoa, the 45 degreen incline DB press felt real nice on my pecs. Usually I go with a lower incline because otherwise I get too much front delt activation. But maybe after doinga low incline for like a year now, my upper pecs have caught up and so they can be activated with a higher incline. I think I'll try going for 37.5 degree incline next workout to see how it goes.

late 20's now
vertical... i have no idea. i stopped jumping. but at my best i was at ~37" running. could easily 2 handed tomahawk off 3 steps at my peak. height was 6'1

Already reached my goal weight of 190lbs earlier than I thought I would. Nice. Maybe I'll drop a few more pounds - I'd like to be 190 carbed up. And I think I'll be carbed up with a week off from work coming up soon plus guests at my house!

Best part is barely any decrease in strength. RDL went up, in fact.

I think I should slow down the weight loss now. Maintenance on workout days, and eat only 1200cal max on fasting days (after my fast is done, of course).

90’s x 5

Not sure how much longer I can keep up the 315x5 squat and 385x6 RDL on this cut, but we'll see. I've lost a decent amount of weight so far without strength loss so i should still be happy with a slight decline in strength even as I head towards 190lb bw and below (dry fasted weight)

Looks like a longer pause than the 495 @ 208bw on the previous page. Also a stronger ascent too
