if that didn't have a Reese Cup in it I would have been all over it lol. Bet it was heaven for you though!
Putting the spoon away for now. Let me know how the stretches work out. I'm still avoiding as much weight as I can for my shoulder but chiro said my internal rotation is knarly.

I wouldn't mind making some of those if we ever did a carb up together or just decided to have some sugar one day :P. Seems like we are always in the same boat . I'm going to put a routine together that should fix it. I'm following Elliot's advice and adding one or two of my own things. It is on the list of to-do's for the weekend.
Welcome!
4/7 Monday
Intake
Cals: 2892, 192g protein, 196g fat, 35g CHO
Workout
DB bench press: 10x45, 10x45, 10x45
tricep extension (rope): 10x96, 10x96, 10x96
Chest flies: 10x35, 10x20, 10x20 (35 was too high for a deload)
Reverse Grip tricep extension: 10x84, 10x84, 10x84
Narrow grip bench press: 10x65, 10x65, 10x65 (narrow grip really kicks in the triceps here)
I'm pretty sure the last two days of higher calories was enough to get my body to drop its water weight that it has been holding on to. Guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow and on Monday. Either way I'm stoked to get back in the gym and do-it to-it. I needz more gainz and to fix my weak and imbalanced muscles!
By the way, in case anyone is interested or has rounded shoulders like me, I'm going to post a video to help with it. I need to start correcting this ASAP as it is even effecting my biceps and chest. Probably will give me better shoulder presses too. Elliot is the man!

No doubt, he knows his stuff.
4/11 Friday
Intake
Cals: 3277, 200g protein, 231g fat, 66g CHO
Workout
Leg Press: 10x270, 10x270, 10x270
Calf raises: 10x90, 10x90, 10x90

Seated calf raises: 10x45, 10x45, 10x45
Currently my weight is holding at 224, loaded to some degree on sodium. Looks like the high calories helped. At work today I got to grill a chit ton of hot dogs so I ended up smashing 4 plain hot dogs and 1 hot dog with a bun because I wanted to add jalapenos to it. Good feels. I decided to adjust by not eating any cheese today keeping me in a deficit so none of this will effect me, without doubt. Tomorrow and Sunday I'm going to 'keto refeed' and finish flushing the sodium out of my body and hope I'll start next week off under 224. Guess I'll see if it happens or not, I think I should be able to.
My week of deloading is over!! Been so bored doing nothing in the gym and it has given me a lot of time to reflect. With wanting to fix my rounded shoulders (which isn't a quick fix) I've come to realize that I'm going to have to pick it up in the gym. Not only do I want to keep my body moving forward but I gotta pick up the slack in those lagging area, my core, and keep pushing myself forward. I also have a personal goal of hitting 210 lbs by my birthday. I have just over 2 months to lose 14 lbs."I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be." -Ken Venturi

For the rest of the day I made corn beef and turkey clubs. One slice corn beef, slice sharp swiss, slice smoked turkey, slice sharp swiss, slice corn beef topped with smoked bacon and mayo and wrapped in lettuce. I managed to eat a whole pound of bacon today *grunts*

And I shouldn't worry why??? haha
I don't really have programs lol. I usually rotate workouts and stuff like that when I get bored. I just feel better when I keep mixing things up usually. I usually stick some exercises in the beginning that are the focus point but that is it. Name of the game is strength and rebuilding weak areas from growing up. 12 years of wrestling plus being big wasn't easy on the back or shoulders. I'll give a quick run through at the bottom of my goals coming up.
4/14 Monday
Intake
Cals: 2892, 193g protein, 197g fat, 37g CHO
Workout
Military Press: 10x90, 10x140, 10x180, 10x210, 10x210, 10x210
Rear delt flies (pully): 10x170, 10x170, 10x170
Side lateral raises DB: 10x20, 10x20, 10x20
wide grip upright rows (pully): 12x84, 12x108, 12x108, 12x108
Hyper-extensions: 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15
Wrist rolls: 4x10, 2x10, 2x10
New Workout Goals
Fells good to be back in the gym. A little struggle after taking a week off but nothing horrible, picked up where I left off for the most part. My new split is going to be shoulders/misc on Monday, Legs Tuesday, Wednesday off, back/biceps Thursday, and chest/triceps on Friday. I feel like this is going to be more optimal for my goals. Rear delts will now get hit twice a week, hard. I also plan on doing a chit ton of rows to strengthen the middle and upper back with the rear delts. For shoulders my main focus is now the middle and rear heads. Adding in planks twice a week and hyper-extensions twice a week to strengthen the core and adding in wrist rolls to hit the forearms more than I already am to help with my grip, ya know, just a little extra. Other than that everything else stays the same as I'm just trying to get stronger.
I just got my new cissus today, twice the strength I've been taking . Got my new protein powder as well. I gave MP combat a try to save $10 vs trutein but that was a mistake. Trutein all the way for me now. Just taste way better and a superior product overall.
Now for my weight update. Last week I should have posted some where around 224 but didn't due to water retention from stress. I upped my cals to drop the water weight and by Friday I was at 224. Before that I was 225.5 I think so I got my 1.5 lb loss. Now this weekend I went hard on the intake. Straight fat boy status. Today I weighed in at 222.5, another ~1.5 lb loss .
This is what I expected to happen and it happened just as I expected. Hopefully I can get more people to follow me my belief of rewarding the body for producing results. On the weekends you let the inner fat kid out of the cage and when the week days come that pudgy little fuk gets back in its cage or it gets the hose again.
And the weekly picture.... 1/3 the way there.

In fact yes, be more worried! LOL
Workout looks good dude; definitely keen to follow this journey. The images I have of the fat kid are way too real in my head but this approach definitely works from the looks of it. I will be getting braver and braver with this going forward. Definitely some "re-programming" is needed in my head but this log is definitely helping.
do you think there was a difference in workouts though to compensate for the indulging? DO you have a certain amount you plan on losing weekly or just take it as it comes? Looking good sir!"It's all about getting back up"

No I don't. My workouts are pretty standard in my opinion. The indulging is just what I do because of my large deficit. I'm some where around 600-1200 deficit. If you use the old logic of 500 calories equals a pound and a 1000 calorie is two pounds and my average weight loss, it kind of backs up my guess. My days vary too much and small deficits suck mentally. I decided on this approach based off reading one of Lyle's articles and the fact I need 'fat' days so I'm playing to my strengths. Here is the article covering deficits by Lyle. He mentions in the moderate to high deficit groups that refeeds and dieting breaks are needed, heince, my 'keto-refeed' approach.

I'm still struggling with taking a week off but basically still where I left. We're just going to keep adding on to this every week.
Since extra calories don't hurt me and tomorrow is a off day I decided to spoil myself and add some bacon to my food. Not sure how much it is exactly but I can't see it being more than 600 calories with the fat and bacon included.

4/16 Wednesday
Intake

+ ~600 calories from bacon including the oil. Its different bacon than I'm use to and I didn't bother to get my scale out for it because it really doesn't matter.
Since I've made it a third of the way I've decided to reward myself other than with food. I'm going to start working on my left arm again so I can try to have it finished this summer. Kids and their body mods, right? lol I think it is highly fitting."I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else.

4/19 Saturday & 4/20 Sunday
Intake
I didn't track calories this weekend. I spent Saturday having fun with that cute girl. We ate a decent breakfast and didn't eat again till we went to this nice restaurant. I'll be shocked if I went over maintenance.
On Sunday I spent a lot of time with the family so I didn't have a chance to eat like I would have liked to since I eat way different than them. I did have some chocolate though and then an enormous keto meal to catch up on calories. Another bad weekend for keto refeed. Now that I can have coffee again though I'll start having bullet proof coffee at my side to save me from these low calorie days.
Oh, and a little more food porn. Pork steak cooked in rib oil, covered with greek yogurt cheese and guacamole and then the rib oil. Other one is horseradish cheddar and bacon wrapped with turkey, topped with bacon mayo and brat sausage. Yeah, I got this keto thing down stat.

Always helps for support!
I just need to start packing liquid calories for times when I can't afford to sit around gorging all weekend. Besides, it is a lot of work to eat all that food. I'm usually sick of eating by the end of the weekend, haha.

Wrist rolls: 2x20, 2x20, 1x20, 1x20
Ahh!! Water retention again . Plus those carbs I ate are adding water weight. Scale has me at 226 again lol. That is why I upped my calories again. Added 4oz heavy whipping cream to my protein shake. <-- Bombtastic.
Going to skip the Monday picture since it seems pointless. I need to get my chit together. No more excuses, though I'm happy with the lifting progress."I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be." -Ken Venturi

Cals: 3304, 195g protein, 241g fat, 40g CHO + 3 slices deli turkey and probably an oz of mayo (I was hungry as fuk).
Workout

Pretty happy with the above. Frustrated over water retention but I know it'll work out by this weekend. I just feel pressed for time with my goal and wanting to try keto bulking."I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else.
