Re-evaluation: Full steam ahead

Diet:

Ran into a major road-block: Working 80hr week is not conducive to super-clean perfectly timed eating habits, unfortunately. Admittedly, I did slip in a few marginal ways (2 pieces of pizza, occasional diet soda). With that said, I can guarantee that my macro count was extremely low, with my protein being right around 200g most days. It seriously can be difficult to break away from critically ill patients to even down a quick protein shake. Combine that with the fact that cooking did not occur, and I relied on canned chicken/tuna and veggies with all of their sodium-laden goodness...
That said?  My 6 week check had me weighing in at 272. +10lbs in one week. Un-freaking believable to me. I can't attribute ALL of this to sodium; on the other hand, I can attribute it to excessive caloric intake either. Perhaps my experimentation with rice instead of oats along with the absolute inability for me to consistently maintain my macro-timing fucked shit up.

That said: We have made a huge change to my layout to better fit my inability properly maintain macro intake  timing.

New plan: 16hr fasts, 1.1g protein/lb/day, Carb intake post workout. Fishoil, Evening primrose oil, and potentially some DAA or other natty test booster.   Still considering some Clomid for clinical test boostage.


Lifting:

Stomach flu slashed 2 days out of my routine last week. Restarting at week one tonight:  Highlights from lifting though:

Bench: 305 easy CGBP after the previous day of benching. Got a relatively easy 335 CGBP a couple days after that. With a Lift-off (and a bit of work on my leg-drive), I could pretty easily see 365+.

Deadlift: 485 pin deadlift from ~ mid shin. I need quite a bit of technique and mobility work. I apparently am collapsing my upper-back, losing drive... "Pull back, not up."

Squats: Still feel weak, and I feel like I hit a road-block with mobility right around parallel. Weights move fine, and I find myself recruiting more quad with my squats since the last block hammered the b'jesus out of my anterior squat pattern.


Medicine:

It's ICU, what can I say?  Everyone dies... People should accept that.

Spending untold hundreds of thousands of tax-payer dollars to futilely keep a 90+year old alive is aggravating. I understand it's hard for the family, but what is the point to fight so hard when there is absolutely no way this patient will survive the next 2 days.
