This past week my shoulders have been extremely tight. I did have a short back rub yesterday but it hasn’t totally alleviated the ache. Looking in the mirror my shoulders are rounded quite far forward, most probably because I’ve re-introduced bench pressing into my program, so my pecs are overly tight. As a consequence I severely fail the pencil test.  I was considering purchasing a backnobber to try and work out the knots but decided that I would save my money and just attempt to attack it with a lacross ball and more stretching.  No gym today. My schedule is screwed up from not being able to go into the gym on Monday, so I figured that if I reseted today and moved my rest days around I could get another weights day in tomorrow. Feel like I’m making good progress with IF on a -20/0 protocol, which for my weight/height works out to be around 2400 calories on rest days, 3000 calories on workout days. Numbers are going up but weight is managing to stay around the same. I will keep an eye on my weight over the next month or two. If I manage to stay under roughly 200lbs but not suffer any really strength slow-down/stalls, I might keep this protocol going for the rest of the year. *** * Weight: 192lbs * Workout: Rest Day
