Week 2 Start

Squat

Bench

Deadlift


Still ramping up, and looking to add the accessory lifts. Lifting has been hard, especially the first session this week. Conversely, the cut itself seems to be going well.

It's the first week of summer and I'm trying to make it as productive as possible.

My intention is to begin tracking the progression next Monday. In the meantime, I continue to try to figure things out.

I'm in an aggressive caloric deficit, and I think the difficulty I'm feeling in the gym may be somewhat related to meal timing, so going to attempt to move a carb-heavy meal closer to training time.

I quit caffeine 9 days ago. Somewhere around day 6, after the horrible symptoms of withdrawal had let up, I started getting the kind of sleep I've been dreaming about for years. I dream every night. I wake up every morning energized and ready to go. Where sleep is failing is, I'm staying up too late and horsing around.

My thoughts this week: add in accessory lifts, dial in sleep, and adjust meal timing.

Wish me luck!

Strength Train with JJ (Let's Start)

My regret being that I lost this valuable lifestyle, I am eager to restore it-- alongside anybody who wants to join along for the summer. Many years ago, I read the opening paragraph of "Starting Strength" and it has proven to be true to me, time and time again. The importance of physical strength cannot be overstated.  The importance of exercise, movement and diet cannot be overstated. These foundational pillars of our very being bear real effects and consequences on our lives, moods, perspectives... and once you engage in an undertaking of fitness, you might very well find yourself transformed into a lifestyle you never thought possible. It's yours for the taking. This blog is a limited time undertaking as I restart my training and reach a novice baseline...

Week 2 Wrap - Patience and a Holistic View

On the menu: Squat Bench press Deadlift It's been a challenge, and I think I'm way more de-conditioned that I realize. I'm affording myself more time to catch back up and adapt to compound lifting as a whole. When we think of adaptation, we think of probably a linear progression in a particular lift. But the entire lifting session is a cumulative stress, the activity of all three lifts together, to which me must adapt. Sleep has also been a bit short. I gave up caffeine and am now reaping the benefits, because when I do sleep now, it is deep and profound-- I gotta recommend giving up caffeine to anyone who asks. I figure another week or two to really get back in the swing of things. I also adjusted my nutrition to put my carbohydrate and fructose intake nearer my training session. This has been a smoother ride. Onward to week 3! Lifting is one of the best things I do for myself.

Week 1 Wrap - Put Your Backpack On

Squat Bench Deadlift The groove is getting greased. The weights are heavy and I'm a bit sore, but every day more momentum builds. I think it will take probably 3-4 weeks to really click back in, so it's nice to be a quarter of way there. I have also given up caffeine and drastically cleaned up nutrition, and all is interconnected. Since my restart protocol is not really a linear progression, I don't tend to track it as much as I reach for a baseline. I expect next week will bring a baseline I recognize, and I'll start number tracking/a more earnest progression at the beginning of week 3. For me, a restart protocol is really about understanding recovery and what DOMS (delayed onset of muscular soreness) is. And also restoring a lifestyle and a habit-- finding the love again. Let me give a small example. The first couple of days back to the gym, I did not bring my backpack... since I didn't need all the lifting gear at this point of the journey. But looking at the bac...
