Default until we meet again fatloss...

So, I finished FL2 three days ago. In about a week I move on to my first hypertrophy program. Pretty excited. Interested to see if i'll actually see some weight gain. I still weigh pretty much the same. 136 lbs, and although I still have some fat left to lose, i'm contemplating upping my calories for Hyp-1.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results of FL2. I definitely look better, feel better, and lift more since starting the program. Upon looking back at the numbers, I feel like there were some things I could have done better. There are some exercises I maybe didn't push as far as I should have (*cough BSS *cough)

I had trouble with deadlifts due to grip strength, but i'm getting better. And on the front squats/cable row, I was never able to get the rests under 50 seconds. The squat racks are just too far away from the cable machines in my gym. That's the one part about Hyp-1A i'm not looking forward to. It seems like it's going to be an obstacle course. I'm not sure what i'm going to do about that yet.

I think BSS with OHP, coupled with underhand grip lat pulldowns should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. It was nightmarish.

Anyway, here are my starting and ending marks for the exercises where I used weight.

Front Squat
3x12x95
2x8x135 and 1x7x135

Wide-grip cable seated row
3x12x75
2x8x95 and 1x5x105

Barbell push press
3x12x60
3x8x100

Dynamic Lunge
3x12x40
3x8x80

Upperbody russian twist
3x12xbw
3x8x25

Snatch grip deadlift
3x12x95
1x8x145 and 1x8x155 and 1x7x155

T push-up
3x12xbw
3x8x15 (15lbs per hand)

BSS with OHP
3x12x20 (20lbs total, not each hand)
3x8x30

underhand grip lat pulldown
3x12x90
2x8x100 and 1x5x105

Romanian deadlift/row
3x12x50
3x8x70
