It blows my mind every time! A 3200-calorie day yesterday with a 1.5lb loss. Granted, I log the time at the gym, but a million leg presses probably burn more calories than shoulder lifts. It all balances at the end of the week though.

Also, I'm very accurate with my records of food, but I tend to underreport my activity just to provide a buffer. My 500-calorie surplus yesterday was probably more like 100.

I'm still in a great place and within range, so I'm content. Muscle up; fat down 💪

I’m curious. Your failure sets, are they usually more reps or less reps than your others? I find that with machines (at lower weights) I tend to do more but with free weights (heavier weights) I tend to do less the last set. Does going to failure affect the rest of your exercises? Isn’t being accurate on your logging better for muscle gain so that you know what you should be gaining? I always have a buffer in a deficit but I thought accuracy was more necessary in a surplus to limit fat gain and maximize muscle gains.
