8/11-8/13

Catch up since I haven't posted in a few days. First off, 8/13 was an off day mostly since my back was a little tense and didn't want to aggravate it by squatting. Workouts have been solid and by being a stickler with myself on form and really focusing on the negative parts of the movements I feel as though I've made some good progress. Weight was at 185 yesterday so I know I'm on the right track. Everything has been feeling good and strength has been solid. Overall really pleased with where I stand. Diet has been on point and had a cheat meal this weekend, but only one, trying to just "cheat" by having more good food on one occasion and noticing I feel like I have more energy and just better overall.
