OH Press Note - increased time between myo reps to 30 seconds for this exercise only as it has become significantly more difficult on the first rep of the myo reps once at 90% of rep max but this was still not long enough today so will need to leave longer between myo reps or just leave a 1 minute gap and do AMRAP on 2nd set

Weekly weigh in - Friday 29 January 2016

184.2lbs / 83.55kgs - down 0.2lb / 0.09gs

Average nett daily calorie intake - 2767 = last weeks body weight x 15.01
Average gross (before cardio) daily calorie intake - 2767 = last weeks body weight x 15.01

average daily macros (c/p/f are from food only)

carbs @ 38.2% (264g)
protein @ 38.3% (265g)
fats @ 23.5% (72g)
alcohol @ 0%
===============
Note - My caloric intake has reduced from BW x 16 to x 15 as I decided to lower carb intake from an average of between 300 and 350 g per day to eventually ~200 g (stepped decreases over a few weeks) so will have to up my fat intake to compensate as Protein is already around 1.5 g per lb of body weight.

On another note I think i need to reduce my caffeine intake as calculated I use approx 2.5 g of instant coffee per mug and I generally drink 8 mugs a day which I think converts to about ~750 g of caffeine a day (93 per mug) which is 2.5 times the recommended amount of 300 per day - decaffeinated coffee is back on the menu.
