Just be sure you're training for yourself, not everyone else. This shit is ridiculous. Find yourself a little woman and then you won't have to stress so much over that bullshit lol. You'll always be your own worst critic anyways.

Another option is to workout very late at night. I've done that. It's not really any better though. It's a tossup. Late at night you are physically tired and perform poorly due to that problem. In the morning you are low on energy stores and perform poorly due to that.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I've been doing and it seems to be working, down 1.5 - 2 solid lbs after a week. No loss in strength, in fact just hit a PR on deadlift.

Just curious what your diet is. I'm trying carb cycling and it only sucks 3 days a week. I don't work out those days at all.

One of my good friends in college was an oly style weightlifter and he lifted 6 days a week. He was completely natural too. I think you should be fine, especially if like you say, it's lighter training. Recovery is pretty quick on those full body movements.

I really want to try carb cycling for fat loss. I researched it for quite a while and decided to take the plunge. My stats are as follows: weight 207 lb, height 6 foot, bodyfat 18-20%. BMR I calculated to be between 2900 and 3000 calories per day. Fat loss kcal per day would be around 2400-2600...

On bench I didn't want to go heavy since I had just benched heavy 2 days ago. I really wanted to work on my form after reading the bench thread and watching the Dave Tate video a few times. I was hoping that it would make the weights easier when I do go heavier but it's hard to tell so far since...

Bench: warmup: 1x5x115 warmup: 1x5x135 warmup: 1x5x165 warmup: 1x3x195 working set: 1x5x225 - I don't even really want to count these. I had a bad spotter who helped me lift the weight. I was hoping for 1- 2 reps but he helped me so much I got 5 reps easy. Really frustrating, cuz I had been...
