Diet:
lots of meat......way too much i think....
Overall Impression:
ok i got tons of stuff to discuss here. firstly, i wasnt gonna go workout but i decided to last minute and im not sure whether i regret it or not because monday's workout will tell me if i regret it or not. if i do regret it, i will not go the coming friday and instead only go next friday (week 16). the main reason i went today was to check whether my fluke squat of 295x4 still holds true or not. i guess it does. this means my 1RM is now 335 lbs. i just added 35 lbs to my lift in 14 weeks but if i consider where i was before, i went from 245x6 to 295x4 with better form on 295. i guess thats pretty good. ok, videos were taken and they will be pm'ed/put up out here soon enough.
moving on to specific details:
Squat: im not sure if me doing this exercise was good or not. warm-ups and DE sets and ramp sets were fine. i just hope that my 295x4 thing doesnt fuck up monday's progress because then im gonna cry
Bench: one more rep. thats all i needed. DAMNIT! i guess i have no choice but to pull off 195x5 next week. i think it will be possible. there were some minor problems i faced or rather mistakes i made today for this lift. i will better explain them when i send the vids. for example, i wasnt as under the bar as i like to be, my grip was a little off and my feet werent firmly placed on the floor. and i messed up my breathing once.
diet: ok so i have been doing a little bit of experimenting with my diet off late. actually, this whole week and so far every single workout has been great with my pre-workout diet. so, here is what i ate 1 hour before my workout: popcorn, protein shake, banana and yogurt and 5 BCAAs. then around 20 minutes after eating thsi on every single day ive been feeling very sleepy. but, after 1 hour when i am sipping my protein shake, i am fucking ready to rock

i think this is good. now i need to figure out about post workout. oh well, baby steps all the way...
overall, im happy. new PRs on both lifts because i didnt go completely a2g before on the squats. but the vids will speak for themselves.
thanks for reading everyone and make sure y'all have a great weekend
