Skwats and sustenance.

Weights

On target, following the program as laid out. I've always had a problem with sub max training. I never feel like I'm progressing enough. I always have this wild hair up my ass to try to test my max. I have a very hard time keeping the "train, don't test" mentality. My progress has always blown because of this. The accountability of having a coach run my programming I think is what I needed all along.

Squats are progressing insofar as my technique and glute contraction patterning. The weights I'm using aren't overly brutal, and move just fine. Once I grease the groove for a while, I'm sure large gains will occur.

Here's a video of today's squats. First at 325, then the last (of 8 sets of triples)@345. Bar path is not straight, and on the ascent things drift a little forward, as you can see me rock to my toes. Slowing down or using heavier weights might help stop this...

Diet

Weight stable at 263-264. Work made it damn near impossible to do the rx'd cardio on top of lifting. This upcoming month will be better.

Tracking every single macro this week for the boss. Trying to nail down my problem.

Grilled 3 lbs of chicken and 5 lbs lean grass fed top sirloin, some peppers and other greens.
