Gym was good. Because I´m losing fat, I´m not even trying to use intense loads but instead am trying to offer my body new kinds of stimulus that will still give me progress and allow me to experiment a little bit and have fun. I did decline deadlifts with just the 20kg bar standing on a narrow step, this was challenging but I was impressed about my balance and it was fun. Definitely challenged my core! IN HINDSIGHT THOUGH I should not have done that inside the power cage because a) the bottom bars of the cage got in the way on the way down, I still got an incline but not as big as I would have gotten on the floor and b) if I had fallen forward, the horizontal bar in the power cage would have eaten my teeth. But hey, I´ll be wiser next time, and now that I know I have enough balance to control the movement, I feel confident doing it on the floor next time. I of course did think about safety, which is why I usually squat and DL in the power cage in the first place, but different exercise -> different circumstances -> different things that are the safest.
I also did bent over rows with 30 kg because I just like doing them, so didn´t feel the need to modify the exercise other than skipping the use of stoppers so I had to focus on coordination a bit more. I did delt raises in the cable machine instead of with dumbbells, and cable chest press instead of DB chest flys. Feeling happy. Heard some rice crispie sounds from my shoulder joints, but because there was no pain, it was probably just air bubbles, I´ve noticed this tends to pass after I have done some new exercise a couple of times. Maintained control and good form so there should be no worries about injury etc.
Got home, had some rice with marg and soy sauce. Gonna have a shower and then eat protein, which I´ve gotten way too little today.
I have dieted since... Uhhh Monday? Now that excess fluid is out, definition has already improved. Gotta stay mindful and not undereat though.
