20. 223.2 - calories not being counted, but i am being mindful.
21. 223.6 - 2063 cals with 96 grams protein. SQUAT day!! 13 training days until my very first powerlifting meet.
22. 223.4 - 2,321 cals with 106 grams protein. benching, but cut short. not a full training day. bleh.
23. 222.8 - 2111 calories with 59 grams protein - conditioning day. (my least favorite training day!)
24. DNW - 2749 calories with 166 grams protein - deadlift day. also super depressed and my calorie intake reflected that.
25. 223.6 - 2185 calories with 160 grams protein - bench press and squat.
26. DNW - 1,983 calories - 93 grams protein - rest day
27. DNW - 2,483 calories - 108 grams protein - rest day
28. 224.8 - 2,135 calories - 184 grams protein - squat and bench. set a squat
PR!
29. 223.6 - 2,714 calories - 159 grams protein - bench press. set a bench
PR!
so, training is going great. this training cycle is ending with
PR's and high confidence going into the meet in 12 days. but my god. the food is so inconsistent.
really trying to keep the protein UP. when my protein intake is down, my strength soon follows suit.
so, it looks like my maintenance is 2200 calories. not great. i wish it were higher, so i could eat more.
i am going to keep my current goal at 2200 calories and then drop it to 1900 after the meet. no way am i going to shave calories down right before a meet. i am way to greedy for strength. i would like to break the national deadlift record in my federation.
