Training today

BS 2x140, 1x152.5, 4x135, 6x107.5, 6x105, 6x102.5, 6x102.5, 6x100

Notes:
Legs weren't really up to squatting heavy but i still progressed my heavy single. My reasoning is that i need to make the repeatable EOD min of 150kg lighter/easier and the only way to do that is to squat a fair bit heavier than 150kg on a regular basis. Will go for 155kg on saturday and then progress it +2.5kg every 8 days.

Wanted to do a volumeish session and did so, albeit with ligth weight but i have a good feeling about it, the form is easy good, which i like. Will see if that works rather than beating myself up with heavier but not so perfect form.

Rest. Why did it suddenly get so difficult to lose weight. Esp wit the stakes being as they are.

Rough plan for a cut
Say im 91kg and i need to weigh 87.5kg max and give it at most 6 weeks to achieve. The min rate i'm looking at is 0.5kg/week or a daily deficit of 530kcal. Estimate my TDEE at ~2500kcal, i need to limit daily intake to a maximum of 2000kcal.

Training today. Doc gave me the go-ahead to stop taking my meds. Said i could just stop but i'll taper off b/c i dont wanna get any rebound sides from discontuining the beta blocker. Hopefully i'll lose about a kilo of fat ive put on since on these two months.

BS 6x120, 1x155, 1x160B
Paused BS 6x100 (PR; new exercise)
Back Xtn 12x50(PR; new ex)

Notes:
Did chinups last workout and today my abs were not fresh enough to do pretty squats. did an ugly 160kg but all things considered i'll take it. This might be the most trivial observation for a frequent squatting program .. but ive got some sort of accumulated fatigue goign on which means 160kg which ive done for a triple a month or two back felt heavy AF almost supramax today for a single. Im okay with that. As i adapt (abs from chinups and body from regular heavy squatting) i'll get better at this whole thing.

Finally saw a <90kg scale reading for the first time in a while. Nothing to get excited about until i get consistent sub 90kg readings though. Im locked in on the goal of 87.5kg so it doesn't even matter really until i get to 87kg. Training today. Got my Alivecor device, i stuck it to the back of my gym phone so i can use it regularly to take readings whenever i feel like it. Kind of cool b/c you get a nice clean ECG anytime so i can monitor myself without needing to go to a doctor

Rest. Made it to 7 days eating clean. Has become routine. Good. Letter for surgery appointment arrived. Thought i'd closed that chapter now im revisitng the decision. I feel like there has ALWAYS been something off about me in that during games i cant perform well. I always put it down to 'bad conditioning' but it makes sense that there was something deeper to it that i hadn't accounted for. But being out of shape right now im not sure if the surgery will fix the right problem or another one. That's frustrating. The treasure at the other side of this gamble would be suddenly being able to play at a higher level and become the athlete i never was. But the 60% chance of developing Afib is scary if i do proceed with the surgery.

Training today.

Fasted Bike - 15 mins (HR 100ish)

Paused BS 6x107.5
Bike - 15 mins (HR > 100)

Notes:
 The bagel i was gna eat was only 52g carb so had 2, this means today became a carb up b/c i didnt wanna under-eat carb. I think it's ok, after squat volume it will help recover and progress. Rough estimate is 300g carb for the day.

Training today. Never had this much trouble losing weight before? I see some ppl on google report weight gain (like 12kg in 3 weeks) on rivaroxaban. Which is most probably just internet bullshit and  you cant rely on any of it but I haven't seen that sort of change but i look and feel fat af so maybe there is something to it. If it's just water then it doesn't matter but im not sure. Anyway, im eating clean and doing everything right so wont change anything for now.
