Flex Friday. So weight loss is very slow but I don't want to screw up by going too fast and losing muscle and strength like I did last time I cut. Back in August or so I could only bench 225 for 5 reps. Today I got 300 for 5 and 325 for 2 shortly after. I think the extra protein is helping because I've actually gotten stronger since I was 215+. I don't know why I dropped it again, I noticed an increase in strength last time I was getting a higher percentage as well. I guess my love for carbs+fat combos makes it harder to get as much lol. I'm currently at 205 pounds. My goal is to bench 2x my body weight again eventually. Last time I could do that I was 175 pounds. Funny enough, I was on a low protein diet then but age was on my side. I think it's good to have multiple goals to distract from slower progress that will actually stick. Measurements, strength goals, etc

You're welcome Wannab and Hebrews, I feel like I've been slacking in that area, been busier lately! Jheeden and Shir, thanks! The support makes me feel better about still being a ways out from my avatar pic. I want to get there with more size and strength. :D

Legit bench. Nice work building strength on the cut. That's no easy feat. Have you considered competing?

I want to pay you about 20 different compliments😍 but they're all probably inappropriate and I don't want your sweet, amazing wife kicking my butt!😁
You definitely should be competing!

Yeah Def wouldn't go over with the wife. Prior to me being public on here, it was a bit of a free for all with some pretty yucky comments. 😉

aintgotnoname, you can always relay inappropriate comments via Chris. we've all accepted the fact he has very few boundaries, right DP? 😆
