Cardio, Notes & Thoughts

I split my push workout up between yesterday and today due to time and feeling a bit under the weather last night. The only exercise I skipped was squats due to soreness. Hamstring is feeling really tight lately so I need to take some extra time with recovery for awhile.

I also dropped my calories all the way to 2500 now. My weight is slightly under 130 and I'm getting really lean. Of course I like this, I love how I look, and well, very confident arounds girls haha. Anyway, my weight is way too low though and I could still drop a few lbs. Not happy with that part at all. I want to be 135 ripped! Walking around over 140 at that. The fact that I was close to 145 in my bulk, means I didn't do a very good job at all. I lost probably 10 lbs off my bench press yesterday and was very weak in it almost losing balance pressing upwards. Not good, I need to refocus on my weight lifting and make sure I'm making and keeping strength gains during bulks/cuts. My plan is to stay lean for a little while then start going up 100 cals every 2 weeks. This will hopefully be a slow enough move I can gain as much muscle and little fat as possible. I don't plan on doing anymore 3-4 month bulks/cuts. My gains kept was too small, something needed to be changed this time. I'm still really interested in cutting out any arm work even though it is needed. I want to simply do 3 exercises a workout, 2 workouts, and keep them strictly compound. IDK what I will do though, not at the moment haha kinda scattered actually.

Now onto the late night cardio..

Pre-workout; egg omelette, toast, honey
Post-workout; shake (1 cup oats, 1 scoop whey)

Cycle

30 mins 70-80%
tabata sprints

Farmers walk

Off to the usual stretching and balance work. Need to remember to keep doing ab workouts since I missed my barbell rollouts yesterday. I'm loving roll outs and they will continue to be in my routine. I will usually add them twice a week following my heavy days. I also really enjoy working my neck too and will continue to do that atleast twice a week for now but plan on tapering off to once a week and make a sorta grappling routine. Thats basically what I do now I just dont call it that, but my grappling condition is usually neck work, some core, glute raises, mobility drills, and grip work. Speaking of which, I want to add farmers walks once or twice a week probably after my heavy days as well. Since I didnt yesterday I added them in tonight. I'm trying to get as much work done as possible during days so I can take a little more time to myself and have 1-2 full rest days. Since I'm usually only working out once a day on days I work, it will be more beneficial to do things like that after heavy lifting days.
