I definitely haven't been writing as often as I should, but here it is anyway. I decided I would write out the general outline in terms of what I'm doing, both diet and training-wise, in case anyone wondered. Which I doubt they do, because I'm pretty sure they don't read this, but in case somebody stumbles across this, here it is.
Diet:
Kind of a combo PSMF (protein-sparing modified fast)/keto diet. Basically, trying to get 250-300 grams of protein per day, with a bit of fat and not much more than incidentals for carbs. The main reason for this is that I'm trying to speed things up as much as possible so I don't have to diet for as long, while still hopefully giving me enough energy to not allow training to go completely into the shitter. I'm also taking the EC stack 3x per day and replacing the first dose with YC prior to fasted cardio on days that I do it.
Training:
I play basketball on Sunday nights (although I won't for the next 2 weeks due to Christmas break), then try to get some steady state work in 3-4 times per week if possible (3.5 incline on treadmill, 3.5-4.0 mph for 45-60 minutes). Heavy lifting is Tuesday/Friday using Wendler's 5/3/1. Deadlift/military Tuesday and squat/bench Friday. All sets are done for the minimum reps except for the occasional day where I feel like pushing the last set on one of the upper body lifts a little harder. Even then, it is done unpsyched, with the intention of not beating the hell out of myself too much. I do 1x5 on the ab wheel every day of the week (with the exception of Sunday because I'm not at the gym). On the days I don't have my heavy lift, I try to get some single-leg work, shoulder prehab stuff, pull-aparts, pullups, pushup variations, and the like in. Mondays I do 4x8 thick bar curls with 70 pounds superset with 4x10 close grip pushups. Saturdays I work up to a heavy set of 10ish on t-bar rows. Both of those (Monday and Saturday) are on top of the other stuff. So now that I wrote it all out and realized that it's probably confusing as hell, here's what it generally looks like:
Monday
PVC/mobility
Shoulder prehab/rehab
Single-leg work (lunges, RFESS, etc.)
Pullups/chinups/etc. (the single leg and pullup stuff is generally not programmed at all, I just wing it)
Thick bar curls (70 pounds) - shoot for 4x8 (I cut off the set if it feels super tough) superset with
Close-grip pushups 4x10
Ab wheel 1x5
Tuesday
Deadlift 5/3/1 minimum reps
Military 5/3/1
Ab wheel 1x5
Occasionally throw in pull-aparts
Wednesday/Thursday
Similar to Monday minus curls and pushups
Friday
Squat 5/3/1 minimum reps
Bench 5/3/1
Ab wheel 1x5
Occasionally throw in pull-aparts
Saturday
Similar to Monday, replace curls and pushups with working up to heavy set of ~10 on rows
