I haven't been purposely avoiding them. I have just had other things to post, and to be honest, they were starting to get a bit repetitive.
So how is it going?
Excellent! I have now lost 6.4 kg (109.8 down to 103.4) in 7 weeks. This is actually slightly better than the macro/calorie targets which were a very conservative 0.5kg per week loss target. I picked this because powerlifting is still the primary goal and I wanted to limit any muscle and strength loss while in calorie deficit. Although I haven't got around to doing a proper body composition scan my measurements and strength benchmarks in the gym are showing that most of the weight is coming off the waist and I am still making small strength gains. I'm also having to add weight to my chinups and dips because they are getting too easy 😃. The little bit of extra conditioning work that I have been doing has also turned into noticeable improvements when doing anything that would normally get me breathing heavy.
