Adam07 trying to get back into it

[Adam07]

O and my bw today was 170.5? how in the world did I gain 5 lbs? It has to be water weight. Anyone have an idea?

5 lbs is nothing, it could be water from increasing cals. It could be that you normally weigh yourself in the AM and this was in the PM......hell, you could have drank a Gatorade then stepped on the scale....don't sweat it. AT your height 165 is very light and you once were in the 180s......this is a good thing, don't worry at all.

I am happy to be gaining weight I was just surprised that I had gained 5 lbs. I hope it keeps coming.

I have a question that I was curious about. I haven't came across this yet since I started back lifting. Probably because I havn't deadlifted yet, but why would my max deadlift be 405 and my max squat be just like 305? Doesn't that seem to be a little off? Porbably just a weak squat. o well just wondering if you had an idea.

If you are wondering why i am posting at this time while i should be in school it is because school is closed today because of a winter storm. So i'm not skipping. lol.

Everybody has stronger lifts due to builds and leverages. My best deadlift is over 100lbs more than my best squat. Some people are built better for either squatting, or pulling, or pressing. Typically, most are more gifted on 2 of the 3.

If you squat ATF with a closer stance and you pull conventional and you're not sporting copious amounts of abdominal fat, your DL will more than likely be higher than your squat.

Ok that makes since. I guess the reason why I thought maybe it was off is because no one else at the school gym squat ATG. Thanks for all the help

Well today since school was closed I couldn't go to the gym. So I went out in my 4 wheel drive pick up and did some 4 wheelin in a few feilds.

I did a ton of eating today just being at home. I feel huge now.

Well as far as training went I just did BW stuff.
regular push ups 3x50
Incline push ups 2x25
Decline push ups 2x25
I am not sure what to call this I had someone hold my feet and I did like hand stands. 2x10

bw squats 3x20
one legged squats 2x8(each legTh)
These were really hard.

This was a fun workout. But I want to get in the gym. Hopfully they will open it up tomorrow.
