JCW’s log

About halfway through a hypertrophy block while on a caloric deficit. I’m basically Mr Fluffy in TBAB, and at 37, Job Number One right now is focusing on getting less fluffy—though I’m trying to maintain lower body strength and build as much upper as I can while on that deficit.

Starting up a log here for fun & accountability. I’m pretty new to being serious about this, with the St Louis seminar being my jump-start into taking this on properly. Anyway. Here we go!

MONDAY - day off. Felt generally wiped out after the busy holiday weekend, so opted to prioritize sleep.

Note on the squat, I’ve deloaded it a bit to focus on form.
