With that type of dedication I take back anything I said about cutting/eating clean/etc being hard for you.

Damn.

Yes. Truly amazing.

Lol. Thanks guys. I'm under 200! this morning. I'm hoping the next few kilos will come off suddenly, because scale has slowed down strangely, and it usually does that before a bigger drop.

chasing athleticism -- SPP phase -- W4D2 (of 12wks)

BW: 90.5kg/199.51lb

Training
FBS 1x132.5
BS 4x2x132.5
BP 1x95

FBS notes:
Progress in a way considering i was pinned by 132.5kg the last 2 attempts. But it's mediocre compared to my 145kg PR, so i'm quite unsatisfied. Will slowly work my way up to a repeatable 137.5kg anyhow.

BS notes:
These were 10 RPE sets. I would have liked to do 2 more heavy sets with a belt. Thought i might save it for tomorrow when i'll try squatting again because today my core (back and abs) were just too thrashed to do justice to my squatting ambitions.

Training
90 mins basketball

Notes:
Yesterday was a clusterfuck. I had about an hour or so worth of sleep. Went to move furniture all morning, had lunch at a buffet (! mistake) but i only had 2 plates, so i think it was ok. And then i napped about half an hour before going to basketball training. Was a mess, no springs in my legs, a step behind my mind. Bad passes, got beaten on defense a lot. Missed most of my jumpers. Couldnt finish near the rim. Couldn't dunk, felt completely exhausted.

Why is that every week I go to basketball either fatigued from gyming or life and I can't play 100%? I think that's something I need to address. I should be striving to be the best players ont he court. Instead i'm allowing myself to be mediocre because of excuses.

Next week i'm going to go ball fresh, and i'll dominate. It's the only way to play, mediocrity doesnt get me anywhere!

Bodyweight: 90.1kg/198.64lb

So i'm getting close to breaking 90kg. But still not quite there. I haven't been strict with my diet at all. Just stuff keeps coming up and I can't stick to my usual routine of eating jack shit. It's fine as long as i'm home preparing my normal cutting meals. But when you go out, it's not easy to stick to the plan. So you have 2nds when you wouldn't normally. Or have desert when you never have it at home. No excuses, going to fast my way under 90kg, starting monday i'm gonna be 100% serious and going to finish feb strongly. I need to wrap up this cut quickly so i can get my lifts back to 160/170kg territory, and get my basketball ability up to a PR level for the comp in april.

Training today, abs and chinups, can't wait.

Training
FSB 1x132.5
BS 2x132.5, 2x135, 1x133.5, 3x115
CR 2x15x207.5 (PR)
WCU 6x96 (PR), 5x98.5
CND sprint intervals @ 5 x (20s on, 55s off)

FSB notes:
At least 132.5kg is repeatable right now even in the darkest and weakest of times. But i want more, much more.

BS notes:
Have not recovered from basketball yet. I could have used another day of rest but i forced myself to train. Next time i'll kick ass.

Calves notes:
Next time i go for the big 5 plates, at least in my gym, 210kg! Can't wait..

Conditioning notes:
I started doing intervals today. I will aim to keep my effective weight above 90kg on this and every other power activity. I won't do steady state cardio type running until i weigh much less (~85kg) and that will be done as light as possible (because it's not power).

I can't do a full sprint for 20s right now, too unfit. So i run out of juice, maybe around 8s (just guessing i didn't check). So not sure if I should use a smaller on interval to start with, or just keep the curent one. Thoughts?

Ok new plan. I'm going to cut for another 21 days only to reach a morning bodyweight of 87kg / 192lb. And that's it. After that no more dieting. I'll eat at maintenance, or perhaps a slight deficit in an EOD fashion. The goal will then be to recomp. At that point the majority of my fat loss and body recomposition will come from conditioning. Taking my conditioning to PR levels will get my to 85kg morning bodyweight by the start of the basketball tournament.

So diet for another 3 weeks. Get to 87kg/192lb. Eat at maintenance. Work hard on taking my lifts to PR territory. Do a lot of conditioning work on the side to reduce bodyfat down to 10% or so with the eventual goal of being a lean 85kg in the morning.

In the meantime my effective bodyweight for all power exercises (squats, raises, jumps and sprints) will be done at an effective bodyweight above or equal to 90kg. The way i'm gonna do that is by drinking lots of water, or whatever, or maybe even getting a weighted vest.

weighted sprint intervals (2x weekly) and playing full court basketball 1x week. And when i'm lighter, i'll add in a session of longer cardio (~20-30 minutes).

Bodyweight: 90kg/198.4lb

lol, the scale read 89.99 before it stabilised on 90kg. In any case, i'm going to be under 90kg by the time today is over. I'm going 100% strict mode for 21 days to get into the 85-87kg range.

Also endevearing to drink 6 ice cold glasses of water every day. I haven't done the calculation but I'm hoping that'll work out to like a pound of fat loss by the end of the 12 week SPP phase.

I was about to rant about that ice water shit but then i did the maths. It is 8kcals per glass, 50 per day, 350 per week, 4200 in 12 weeks.
Lol, that's interesting, it does sum up to a serious quantity over that time span.
