Quick update:
PCT is going well. I’ve lost some weight, but am leaning out. I was at 177lbs on the scale today, but strength hasn’t gone down any.
Diet: I’ve been trying to add in 2-3 minimum salads and leafy greens a week. I’ve also been eating 2000 cals a day, with about 35% carbs, 20% fat, and 45% protein. I usually up the carbs to about 40% two-three times a week just depending on what my body feels like it needs. I’ve been sticking to a 5 hour eating window. For me the 5 hour window is much better than the 4. That one extra hour really helps reduce the bloating and indigestion, and I just feel better all around. Also trying to incorporate fish at least one meal a week. Other than that food has stayed about the same.
Workouts: I’ve been using Wednesday and Sunday as either rest days, or only getting in cardio. So my weekly routine is Chest on Monday, Back on Tuesday, rest on Wednesday, Legs on Thursday, Arms on Friday, and Saturday is a freebie of listening to my body and working whatever feels healthy. I’ve also been sticking to a minimum 30 mins of cardio (usually incline treadmill) before workout, and have been adding in some form of cardio/core between sets. Something like 25 jumping jacks, 15 crunches, 30 second planks, 20 push ups, etc. I took a couple post workout pics today and attached them. Hope everyone’s been doing good and staying safe!
