My pec IS 100% now due in part to another deload week.. Dropped a little weight off and focused more on form and slowing down the negatives. New month of exercises, same format. Just finished my first week back in and everything was very strong. I think last cycle I started off too heavy which isn't surprising since coming off of the 5x5 lol. I think I'm finally in the cutting mindset and paying more attention to all the little things vs. increasing the weights as if I was bulking.

Weight: 238 lbs

For the past few years especially I've always fluctuated between 245-256 with a max of 262 lbs at one point. After the 5x5 I weighed in at 251 lbs I believe. So it's interesting to see the scale at the lowest point it's ever been since the Marines.

As far as my training schedule goes, there's absolutely nothing fancy about it. Three days in the gym lifting hard and heavy, good frequency, different types of cardio six days a week, and NO stimulants or any other supplement specifically designed for fat loss aside from fish oil..

My thoughts on why this is working is very simple. When someone like myself who is at a higher bodyfat percentage (18-20%), it doesn't take a whole lot aside from consistancy with cardio and dieting to take the fat off. All the weightlifting for me is there for maintaining my size and strength. Many other people who already have a low bodyfat percentage will struggle a lot more for any kind of results since whatever's remaining will be a lot more stubborn to get off. THAT is the time for a strict(er) gameplan.. For instance, do I personally NEED something like UD2.0? Fuck no lol, and the author states that in fact. Same thing goes for all those supplements. Just not needed... YET.
