Fruits good, but you don't need veggies. Meat has more nutrients than veges which are largely leaves and stems, and can be toxic. I don't eat any veges, but depending on you definition of a vegetable... cucumbers and avocados are more fruit than vege I avoid all leafy things, seeds and grains
Meat, fruit, raw honey, maple syrup, A2 milk, cheese is all I eat
Upper body moderately achey from yesterday, much less than expected. Lower body still fairly sore... posterior chain also more sore from the high angle rows yesterday.
Plus hamstrings got worked today when I went to pick up 6 second hand Hansu 25kg calibrated plates from Facebook Marketplace... Originally was only ment to get 4 plates, but the guy had 2 more and the whole lot was cheap, so why not.
Not that I need 150kg more weight, but I wanted these for easier loading on chins and dips and other things As these are much thinner than my 20kg bumper plates, and even the regular rubber coated 20kg plates. Six of these 25kg plates occupy the space of three 20kg bumper plates... Although I doubt I need to do 150kg chins or dips anytime soon

Thans for the insight guys. Yeah i guess that if nutients/kcals are the same it won't make a real difference. FWIW, i don't like breakfast, so im close to 14/10 IF even when i don't try to. So i think ill stick to that for the whatever ketones fat-burning voodoo hype shit. Ill just actively try to make the gap bigger, bring it closer to 16/8 or more. What's the deal with fruits and veggies though? You mean replace carbs with them, or just make sure you have them too, for the vitamins & fibers?

different people respond differently to different diets. you gotta just try stuff out and see what works best for you. for example, my father-in-law started IF'ing and had absolutely no trouble adjusting. he loves it. i tried it once ages ago after discovering that weird swedish bodybuilder on lyle mcdonald's old forum, martin something. hated it, i need breakfast.
calories in, calories out is the core, and you have to get vegetables and fruit and enough protein. everything else can vary, or doesn't matter.

Comments:
Felt somewhat weak in the squat. Can't believe how heavy 100 kg feels like, even low bar. Also, the deadlift was difficult and felt like something I shouldn't be doing, although to be fair it came after heavy work during the squat which took quite a lot out of me.

Still feeling achey all over
Planning to move into an 8 day training cycle - so an extra days rest. maybe even a 9 day one, still planning things out Also stopped doing lower body today, back to a proper lower/upper setup Although, my lower body does still get hit today.... Quads feel quite pumped after the loaded pushups
Did feel good just doing upper body today, much shorter session. Felt "refreshed" post session, especially after loading up on whey, milk, maple syrup and dried sultanas
Reboot - Week 25, Day 3 - Upper weights
Body Weight: 89.6kg with shoes
Ball circles at wall:- 12 each direction - front 2x24 , side 2x24 BBall overhead single arm plank againt wall: 3x33 secs
Popliteus Internal foot rotation ISO against floor 3x33 secs Sartorius seated bent leg ISO pull against opposite leg - 3x33 secs
Front plank hold - 33 secs Side plank hold Bent knee abducted - 33secs glute bridge hold x 33secs
Wall sit - heels off the floor - pushing into floor at 70% effort - 5x33secs Patella tendon ache until third set
rotating sets - 1.5 to 2 mins between
Band external rotation activation: - while slow overhead pressing - Light band x2 x 3sets done between warm up sets of the press and chin
Chin up - various hangs and scap shrugs, and mid hold ISO to warm up - leg assisted BW x3, BW x3
Straight legs - slight L Sit posture Chain belt+5kg - 5 sets of 2 @RPE 7.5 on last set
Lats and biceps felt achey A little experiment in loading and progression - will progress 1 set each week with a rep until 5 sets of 3 Then add 2.5kg and reset back to 5x2
-10 sec rest on mini sets, still did not drop off. No right brachialis pain, so it looks like it's starting to finally heal...
Deficit push up: - Using dip handles, feet on bench, elevating feet 5 inches above parallel paused - BW x5
Dip belt + loading pin on mid thoracic +10kg x8 +20kg x12 @RPE 8
5 mins rest +25kg x10 @8
Used the dip handles on my squat stand. Felt good, solid and stable. My core and quads were firing hard on the 25kg set though, as the plates slipped closer to my waist. I have a cheap rock climbing figure 8 chest harness coming from Aliexpress, with large carabiner, that will replace the dip belt, which should keep the plates over my chest. Just hook the loading pin to the carabiner, much easier.
The +25kg set would be around 80kg total weight, so it looks like I'm strong enough to bench around 110kg. Reading around, getting to +50kg for 10 reps, will allow me to bench 140kg for a few reps. The strength will be there and the range of motion is greater. But pushups are more stable than bench though.
Single arm dumbbell row - arm supported, elbows out, controlled - 45lbs x12 @8 Lying face down, overhead Y raises: - 35 degree incline bench - 3 sec hold at top - 1.25kg x8 @RPE 8 face down Y raise into W press: - 35 degree incline bench - 1.25kg x10 @8

Moderately sore all over. Didn't feel my erectors work that much with the back extensions yesterday, but they feel it this morning upon waking. Along with my upper hamstrings, posterior shoulder and upperback from the wide snatch grip
Reduction in overall volume helped, feeling better than I usually do this day of the week

just be careful to ease back into jumping, tendinopathy tends to flare up bad after a long break. Body doesn't like sudden spikes in loading rate. Patella and achilles in particular
