Weight (today): 170 lb

Notes:
Backoff week before I start cycle 4.  I'm planning to swap assistance sets as per the BBBC for this cycle, primarily because it feels like my presses would benefit from more frequency.  My 0-carb stretch also ends in a few hours when I start about 24 hours of carb-up for the week ahead, per Anabolic Diet.  It's been 10 days since my last actual carb intake, so I'm likely going to gain 3-5 lb before tomorrow morning.  Given that, I'm moving my weigh-ins to Friday or Saturday morning so I'm weighing me and not all the water my glycogen will need.

Notes: Monday sucked, rest of the week wasn't too bad.  I think I need more frequency on presses, so I might swap accessory work in the next cycle per the BBBC layout.  Dropped post-workout carbs and IF after Tuesday, going VLC this week until this Saturday.  Switching from IF/LeanGains protocol to Di Pasquale's Anabolic Diet, mostly because I think the constant morning fasts might be too much stress, and PWO carbs were giving me afternoon brain-fog (not too mention doing frackall for my gainz).  I also quit tracking my food entirely.  I've been tracking meticulously for about 6 months, and it's gained me literally nothing measurable.  I'm 2# heavier and my lifts are worse than they were 6 months ago.  Oh, and I was totally neurotic about food all through the holidays, which was fun.
