• 7 day rolling average • 180.2lbs [emoji3596]

Current target is to maintain ~182.0lbs based on the 7 day rolling average, currently on the 6th day of the reverse diet (adding 100 kcals every couple of days until weight stabilises), weight has been slowly creeping up but the 7 day average is still trending down due to the two outlier weigh ins of 178.8 and 179.0 a few days ago so target remains @ 2k to 2.1k kcals until the outlier weigh ins have passed the 7 day mark (3 more weigh ins).
 
Monday 11 April 2022 @ 1:30pm

Training style will be ? sets (1st figure in brackets) in total with load for all sets the same with 1st set aiming for ?-? rep range (2nd figure in brackets) with all reps at least 3 seconds on the eccentric with 60 seconds rest between sets, all sets after set 1 will be AMRAP / 1RIR strictly without form breaking down.
