No gym tonight as my SI joint / lower back is fooked. I couldn't bend over this morning to pull my pants up.
It's slowly loosening up so I don't think it's serious. But no gym tonight to let it recover more. Will focus on upper and cardio as soon as I can walk normally. Frustrating.
Calories...
Have kept my calories within budget the past 7 days. It is definitely a different vibe working out on a deficit and I can't say I am that fond of it 😂
I also decided to do a little extra stretching at the end and something popped in my lower back. 😖
Gonna be an ibuprofen night.
Calories: 2008...
Calories have been going better this week. I have kept it around 1600-1700 on the weekdays and allowing a bit more on the weekend.
Gonna start logging o. the 8 week comp thread from Monday if it kicks off.

So far I feel good. See how I go the deeper I get into a deficit. I'm going to allow higher calories over the weekend but not go crazy.
I think types of food and timing around workout are key I guess.
Man, I could really smash a Carls Jr burger right now though. 🤣
Really really didn't want to go to the gym tonight.
Hit a pr on squat out of spite.

Had a recent blood panel and things seem to be dialed in pretty good I think. I expected slightly higher T levels on 150mg, but these seems like good numbers. This was from Monday morning, so a 72 hour trough from my Friday morning pin.
For reference, I am currently prescribed 150mg of Test...
I really enjoy this routine.
