After an honest evaluation of myself and how I can make better progress I found that diet was the worst. I'll frequently go all day without eating because I'm too lazy to get off of the couch. So hopefully this will inspire some accountability and force me to do better.
I compete in powerlifting both raw and geared
My best raw lifts are:
Squat- 540
Bench- 405
Dead- 545
My best geared lifts are:
Squat- 678
Bench- 462
Dead- 518
For diet I basically can't eat wheat. I eat everything else though. Lots of dairy, rice, meat, and not enough veggies but some.
I dunno if I'll post my workouts in here, I guess if anyone's interested I will.
I'm currently around 230 and looking to stay that way, slowly recomping
My training schedule is:
Mon- Squat and bench
Wed- Dead and bench
Fri- Squat, bench, dead, bench

No its not common man. Basically I felt like I was going to throw up trying to get down to the bar deadlifting every time so I never really set up properly. Most people get a little out of their suit for deads, not as much as squat but maybe 40lbs. My next geared meet I dunno if I'll use a suit or just go raw

Not in the immediate future. I tend to be an 'all or nothing' kind of guy and in the past I've gone through bouts of very meticulus dieting with weighing everything and doing all that to being very lazy.
Usually when I get extreme about it it only lasts about a week before I get lazy again. This time I am hoping to take it one step at a time. This step is just gonna be record everything I eat771/645/622 Single Ply

Terrible day. Usually after a bad lifting day (which I had) I don't eat much. Partly because I don't feel like I deserve to partly because I'm too mad to have much of an appetite. Its pretty illogical but thats what I do771/645/622 Single Ply

Doesnt sound as if you are really cleaning things up.
Honestly, you say you are lazy, but you can pick up a piece of fruit and nuts just as easily as cookies. And if its not in the house, you cant eat it. So just dont buy it. It honestly doesnt look like you are lazy, just that you like junk food.Founder of MMDELAD

I'm not trying to clean up my diet, I'm just trying to eat more consistently.
Besides this, the cookies were home made with almond flour and grass fed butter, don't see much junk there
The chicken fingers are 100% breast meat that I hand rolled in almond flour and spices, then fried in virgin organic coconut oil, don't see whats wrong there
Nesquik is extra delicious calories
Waffle fries, blondie, yes. Bad. Not trying to consume canola oil unless I have to but it was either that or be forced to eat wheat (which will anihilate my head and anus) or have a 200 calorie lunch followed by a 3 hour drive
Friday 3/23
Milk and cereal
2 burgers in potatoes and red onions
Pork chops with salads and potatoes
Didn't eat much, but not even mad because I got 2 huge job offers today. Make up for it tomorrow. Not gonna be training for a few weeks most likely so I might try to drop a little weight at the time771/645/622 Single Ply

I think so too. We'll see though
Didn't track my diet over the weekend, kinda goofed on that.
Yesterday I had tons of Singapore Rice Noodles (home made) and half a Chipotle Burrito bol and some other stuff
Today I had 32oz of milk at 5am and then nothing but a banana and nuts until 6:30pm because my job is insane and I have no other choice, but then I refed with an enormous amount of various rices and meats (sushi, noodles, ect)
Tomorrow I'll be back on track. Going to compete at 231 in June. Would like to get down to 225 within the next 3 weeks so I have some wiggling room and can grow during my peaking cycle instead of trying to stay exactly at 230 the whole time771/645/622 Single Ply

As stated in OP, this is going to be a slow gradual process. Every time I immediately become very meticulus I burn out in a week. Next step is going to be a meal quota which starts on Monday.
Which basically means, I'm going to make sure I get a specific number of meals/shakes/snacks a day. After that becomes normal I'll start being more specific about macros
I know I still have a ways to go but baby steps is my approach this time
Thanks man, tryina get my dead on your level!
