I've been told before that while dieting you may not be able to increase weight or reps???

I think he must have compared your original progress with your current state. You look like you are making great progress, keep up the great work and ignore your gym scale!

IMO you should do a recomp till your surgery. Eat at or just above your maintenance calories. For your workout I'd really suggest you get on a program designed by a professional, try picking up "The...

Great job on those sprints! Lovin the way you motivated yourself too!!

I hear ya!! I too still had extra fluff at 116. My goal is to get down to 12-15% body fat, but that is so difficult to track accurately without spending a ton of cash or traveling WAY out of my way...

Whoa! Your doing 85lb lunges!! I'm far from that! Looks like you had a great workout yesterday!
