Good idea...is a good idea!!

Yeah man. Hoping I don't have to lower cals or do a diet break. Went awhile without a cheat day and had one the past two weekends. Hoping that's it an it's just water.

Eager to lift tomorrow. Gonna lay off squats with my back but gotta do something

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you don't need to lower them there calories! Water weight is likely...but unlikely to have added that much actual bodyweight...even if you ate at a slight surplus. Crush those lifts...and ya, lay off the squats if they could negatively impact your back. Looking forward to lift updates tomorrow!!

[phozosado]

Oh careful with that back now. There's a LOT of this going around thanks to totally unnecessary and absurdly dogmatic focus on so-called "proper" squat depth. 80% of the guys on here tail tucking and just haven't hit that wall yet. 90% of them still in their 20s.

I'm not really sure what you mean by tail tucking. I'm gonna take squats out for awhile. Anything that I don't like how my back feels I'm gonna bang it. Thanks

He means butt wink, they keep doing ATG with butt winking and will eventually do some damage after a few years.

LOL at tail tuck explanation.

"What is 'tail tucking?"
"Tail tucking is BUTT WINKING, dude."
"oh, I get it."

You can always have someone check your form. Might be a bit of butt tuck going on.

I just meant I'd heard that term. Jason looked at one of my vid and disnt mention that

[psychodiver9]

Yesterdays macros 2781 86.5/304/200. Fats lower and carbs higher than I'd like. Just one of those weeks I'm making due because I need to get to the store.

I've decided if I don't drop back under 201 this week I'm going to drop cals to 2700 max. May do it anyways

No lifting walked the dogs for about 40 minutes. About 2.5 miles.

Calorie drops suck, I know. Right there with you. Hungry ALL THE TIME right now.

right now hunger hasn't been a major issue but me feeling like a fat bloated cow is so it's likely what I'm going to do. Just frustrated and tired of it.

Also considering some type of routine change since I can't really squat and dead right now. Not sure what
