Weighed in at 172 again, I was hoping for a half pound drop at least. I’m going to scratch that calorie increase and lower by 50 today and see how my weight is on Thursday again. This is starting to be a tricky game, just enough calories for fat loss but not so much that you start to lose strength. My weights in the gym were down a couple reps on squats and lunges but I kept the focus on squatting deep.
