So, I’ve tried that linear program. And for about 4 weeks it worked well, but I hit a wall pretty fast. So I’m back on Candito’s 6 week program, and it’s going great. This was the second week’s last lower day and I did 10 sets of 3 after squating 118 kg for 10 reps. I’m pretty happy with myself. The biggest change I made is probably the most important one I’ve ever made: proper bracing. I’ve never really worked on my bracing, and now that I started doing so, I understand why people always talk about it. Damn I don’t know how I got up to 140 kg for 3 reps without really hurting myself. I have also lost a bunch of weight since my last time trying this program, I was about 96 kg on that last video, and this morning I was at 88 kg. I´m going to a commercial gym on the days that I have to work, so I’ve noticed that I was really deadlifting on a deficit. The bar at the gym is much higher on my shins, it’s kinda easier to deadlift now, so that’s nice. When I deadlift at home, I’ll do it on the variation days, so instead of doing the usual paused deadliftis, I’ll just consider them deficit deadlfits. I’m pretty stoked with the recent changes, and although I’m not eating carbs, I feel pretty strong. I don’t know how much differece would it make to be eating carbs, but I intend to find out as soon as I get down to around 83 kg. I guess that the most important thing I got from these recent changes is that bracing saves lives. I feel much more confident now when I squat down, there’s so much more stability. I’m really excited to see how it’ll affect my fifth week when I test my one-rep-max. Also, the deadlift looks kinda shitty, feels kinda shitty, but I’m working on it. This was 102 kg for eight reps on a I-don’t-know-how-many inches deficit.
