10 weeks out

after bodyweight dropping last week to 172lb at just under 11 weeks out, I know I started to creep ahead of schedule a bit more than planned.

Sunday, I had a higher kcal day/refeed to really put the brakes on weight loss & it worked a treat, I have regained any lost flatness & weight loss has been non existent this week. I also made sure I rested more in conjunction with this & used even less volume than usual. This goes against the temptation to really PUSH and dig to deep into a deficit. I need to be ready just before showtime, keeping any extra muscle mass is priority this time around, I am no longer the heaviest in my "class".

so this last week of training, I have focused on just 1 working set per exercise (after 2-3 feeler sets), still training hard but a definite deload/devolume compared to normal. I now feel fresh, with very little fatigue and ready to push for this next level over the next 10 weeks.
