Need to bump the weight on squats. Just added them back in my rotation. Haven't squatted for almost a year so just learning the movement again. Everything else felt great.

Having fun with this cut. Getting vascularity in my shoulders that I've never had before. Traded dips out for a 45* incline DB press. Really trying to build the upper chest.

I over shot my reta dose this week. I've been struggling to get my last meal in each day. I went from 2mg on a high fat approach, to 5mg once I added carbs back in. I added carbs back in in the middle of a week when I was taking 2mg and my hunger went wild. So this week I thought 5mg would do the trick, but it is too much. Tomorrow I'll dial it back to 3mg for the week and see how I feel.
 
Can you lean it back more than 45 degrees? I think you will find the benefits for your upper chest are better at not so high of an incline.
Yes, I've always done 30* incline on both barbell and dumbell presses. This is the first time trying dumbell at 45*. I did a lot of reading before trying it. I did 45* yesterday for the first time and it felt terrible. Definitely not doing it again.

Beside incline BB and DB presses, do you have any recommendations on building upper chest?

An incline fly would be the only other exercise I can think of. Any movement that has both humeral adduction and shoulder flexion will do the trick, though.

I'd add these if I had a dual sides cable stack. I get absolutely nothing with dumbbell flies for some reason. I've never connected with them. The pec deck has always been better for me.

You can always try unilateral. I'm not a fan of dumbbell flies either.
 
How do you stabilize yourself doing it unilateral? I can't think of anything I can hold on to on my rack.
Either stand behind a bench and hold onto it with other hand, or just sit on it and face away from the cable so it pulls you into the bench

Another good week. Had a terrible stomach ache this morning. Couldn't pull a vacuum without it feeling like I was dying. Comparing pictures, this is right where Justin ended my cut and had me rebound. Up 10lbs from then. Since I only have cardio at 30 minutes fasted right now, I'm going to stick to this for another few weeks and see what happens. My training is the best it's ever been so no reason go the other direction yet.

Hard to tell if I need another refeed or if its water dropping from the GH reduction. Hopefully I stabilize soon.

Woke up Saturday morning at 188.2lbs. Decided I needed to slow that shit down so I had a two day refeed/cheat. Had a few things I shouldn't but I don't regret it. I remember now why I love doughnuts and cake so much. Fat kid for life.

Fuck, ate bread, steak and carrot cake last night again because my wife wanted to go out. I look better and better each time I have a meal like that, but I'd really like to get the last bit of fat off. I'm in a weird place because of the reta I think. When I'm eating on plan, I just don't want to eat. It's hard to get my food down. But if I go out, I have no issue mowing through the whole menu. I dropped the reta to stabilize and get me back at a place where I'm dying to eat again.

After dinner I trained calves and abs:

Missed a couple days of logging. Added rear delts and traps as a day but I probably won't keep it. I'll do it one more time in my rotation and see if I change my mind.


Diet hasn't been "on plan" per se. Been eating only fatty cuts of steak/chicken, fat free milk, tiny bit of cheese, and eating at least 8 whole eggs a day. No carbs except an intra with 15g EAA, creatine, glutamine, and 25g carbs from dextrose/HBCD. For whatever reason, once I added carbs back in, I just haven't enjoyed them. Rice, COR, oats just hasn't tasted the same to me since I started eating higher fat. I'm going to see how only having an intra effects performance in the gym, and then reassess if I need to have some preworkout carbs.
