I decided to completely cut out all cardio, even though I was only doing like 10 minutes once per week lol. I don’t mind doing my sprints and I enjoy the effects I get from them, but I want to start out with no cardio so that I can add it back when it’s necessary. Right now, I don’t find them necessary because I’m not trying to lean down. I’m also only training 5x weekly instead of the usual 6x weekly, also because I’d like an extra day to add in training when I decide to cut and I hit a plateau. I did well in the gym this week. On Monday, I got in 3 sets of 6 pullups each where I usually do 1 set of 6 reps and the rest are 4-5 reps. Almost all of my lifts felt easier. Leg day on Tuesday felt crappy though, for some reason it feels as if my strength is getting weaker, contrary to what I believed would happen if I cut out cardio. My usual squat weight felt impossibly heavy. On Friday (leg day yet again) I felt super crap!! I wanted to leave after my 5 minute warmup! I had no energy, I was emotional and frustrated for an unknown reason and I just wanted to go home. I suck it up and finished my workout, I didn’t stretch as usual though. This was a great week, no binging, no excessive over calorie intakes and no cardio lol! My weight was mostly stable although I did not do cardio on Tuesday as I normally do. My weigh ins were as follow: Monday- 59.8 kg ; Wednesday- 59.9 kg ; Thursday- 59.9 kg ; Friday- either 60.2 / 60.7 kg or something else, I forgot to log my weight and my memory sucks! I hit my numbers quite well, if I went over protein, I decreased the same amount of carbs so that my calorie intake will still be the same. I did not track or weigh myself the entire weekend, Friday to Sunday. I enjoyed time with friends in the bush, I didn’t pre-pack any food, I probably went slightly over fats and carbs and didn’t have nearly enough protein. I did not binge but I also did not say no to ice cream or chips! My calorie and macro intake:
Calories= 2565
