Happy with the bench today. Felt totally tired and beat up before the gym, but it all went away as soon as I hit the bench. A nice PR and a solid single rep afterwards with high intensity. The last set of the floor press fell apart mid set, so I resetted the form and finished with three solid reps.

I got a couple of cm's lower today with no discomfort. And it totally showed in my performance. Joint angles are funny. Now, no 130kg? What? It was just 2-5cm lower. Weird. Or then it wasn't the best day. We'll see that later.

I was completely depleted allready, had several low calorie/low carb days behind me, hill sprints from yesterday, and all the fun. So I decided to do some test of will and strength, then hit food like nothing matters. Huuuge. It was hard work, no doubt. Diet is ending after the next three low carb days, then it's so long carb cycling, for now. I'm very happy with the results so far.

Deloading. In the next weeks I'm slowly adding carbs to my everyday life, next week I'll have one fruit and some 40g of starchy carbs either PWO or in the evening. Then add a little more (30-40g) next week, and so on. So that I'll slowly raise the amount of carbs to 200g per day with around 2400kcal and see how that goes. If it fits, then add even more. But that's like coming in the next months or so. Easing in.

I lost a couple of kilos, I now weigh 75kg, did also cut some cm's from the waist, which is a good sign how things went. Now, slowly getting in more carbs and calories. Feels good. More fruit! Decided to continue the No-Deadlift program with Power Snatches for variety.
