FRIDAY THE 13Th

OOOO!!!

Training:

Squats: barxmeh 135x3,3 185x2 225x2 265x12x2 --very good!
front squat: 225x3 255x3x3 --stronger than February. OK

bench press: barx10 135x5 185x3 225x5 240x5 255x5 270x5 295x5 (PR). --I'm topped out on the 5's.... new bench plan detailed below

bent row: 245x3x8

abs: decline situp 35lbs x 15

bench plan:

Monday: long pause BP 7-8 sets of 3 (add 10lbs per week, starting at 255?)
Friday: regular BP, 5 sets of 3 starting with top 5 weight, warmup with singles (e.g., 225 255 275 then 295x3's). Keep form tight!

I'm basically going to work on trying to trick my body into handling either more weight or more workload continuously for 6 (well, 5 now) weeks

diet:
1. 3/4lbs turkey-beef mix (lean)
2. 4 serv. Nitrean
3. .5lb ground sirloin
4. 4 serv. nitrean
5. (late, PW) 1lb. turkey-beef mix
6. 2 serv ON Casein with 4 tbsp. cream (upping fat intake as experiment)

I tested for ketosis yesterday and today and I'm pleased to report that I seem to have breached the 5mg/dl barrier. I was usually between "trace" and "none" before this. I'm going to keep zero carbing over the weekend if I can (depending how I feel after Sunday's workout) until I start to go flat. I need to find a carb-up level where I can stay in or regain ketosis in 12hrs or less.

An experiment I wish to carry out is the Kekwick Fat Fast over a weekend, to see if I can jumpstart after the BeerFest debauchery
