Im looking forward to workout today; gained 3 lbs Friday, thought it water weight but it seems to be dug in and here to stay. So I’m looking to take it out on the gym today haha

Wk2 day 1 complete. Been going hard since August & forced myself to take a few days off.
Maybe you guys have some thoughts on this. I had 2 years of medical issues and started lifting again in June. I've always been able to run a deficit and lose weight when I lift but I haven't lost a pound. None. My body shape is changing certain areas but my body fat was 29% on August 1st & it's 28% today. My diet is actually fairly clean but i do have my cheats (nothing too crazy, haven't had real junk food in years).The belly fat is what concerns me. I'm thinking I need to throw in some HIIT at the end of some if these work outs.

How are you getting this measured?

It is typically the last to go, make sure to watch your back for changes in definition.
W2D3 in the books here, was supposed to complete it last friday but just didn't feel right. 3 reps at 82% was tough but got through it and the elbow feels decent.

Focus more on this and less on the scale or BF%.
Getting stronger? Looking better? Forget everything else.

I suggest using a flexible tape measure and tracking body fat using waist and neck measurements once a week. My scales do bf% via impedance, but it doesn’t really track with anything in reality as far as I can tell.
I use this calculator:

Having said that if you’re 28-29% bf then you’re most likely not actually in a deficit if you’re lifting weights and even half assedly watching diet and not losing over 3-4months. Are you weighing and tracking all your meals? I know the shite sucks but it might be useful.

This is similar to what I've been doing just doing my measurement right above the belly button. Same method we used in the Army. 42 inches and hasn't changed. I had a rapid, unexplained weight gain in July - 20lbs - that I thought was related to statins but that weight hasn't come off & the measurement stayed the same. Since then, I haven't gained another pound. Haven't lost any either lol. The only real change in diet since July is that I've eased up on drinking but I wasn't really a heavy drinker to begin with.
I'm gonna stay the course for sure & I appreciate the advice.
ETA: that calculator is great. When I had the weight gain I put on 15lbs of lean mass & 5 lbs of fat.

That will do it, I will usually lift before lunch or after a light meal. I got a shite night of sleep last night but I think the pre-workout helped me out a ton today.

I had to do my cardio this evening after squatting and then cooking/eating supper. Did not enjoy it; was even shittier than usual cardio.
//edit meant elliptical cardio; not PPSA cardio. I love that stuff ;)

W2D5 completed, going to take the next day or two off then start Week 3 with actual rest since I feel there was meant to be a break between weeks.
Posted on 12/14/22 at 5:16 pm to bad93ex
W2D3 done: added weight to pendlays and close grip even tho it went up a set. Feeling strong like ox. I’m a big fan of this program
