After two years of lounge training and minimal nutrition, the result from last year is
- lost 4 kilos muscle mass
- lost ~10% strength
- lost ~25% endurance
Pretty nice deconditioning.
Took a quick glance at your site. Are these singles?
Dips followed by deads.....I bet you were sore....good stuff

Not singles.
Standard stamina - sets of 5 reps @ 87%, 84%, 80% ... Variants • SpiderStamina.com
Half stamina is only first 5 sets, not 10. I'm beginner now :-) Big volume will make me sore/sorry :-)
Stamina Dips @ 40kg means that 1RM is 40kg, first set is made @ 40*0.87=35kg; second @ 40*0.84.....

What? Really! I thought you were more serious about your trianing and nutrition than anyone. What happened?
Did you find your appearance changed negatively? I remember the 10-pack abs....you looked like you were in phenomenal shape?

I had some tough time this year, looking for motivation and ideas about me and my work. Everything in Bulgaria goes very slowly and I have many to do ... this makes me crazy sometimes.
Last two years, especially the last, I minimized and stopped my training. This made me to minimize my food intake, I don't have appetite when no training. As result I lost weight, strength and endurance.
Now, as you can see from my log, I am on the road again :-)
You, the people at JP's, make me feel good. You are so positive and with open mind. Thanx a lot to all of you!

You pull off some amazing feats of strength Milko. I'm surprised, but I understand the loss of motivation. I got foolish with my eating and laziness over the summer and have a lot I need to get back and lose.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you accomplish.
I just found it so surprising that you would stop training since you seem to have a real passion for it. And you are still in better shape than 99% of the population, even in your deconditioned state. I know you don't compare yourself to others and seek to challenge YOURSELF, but be proud of what you still have as a level of fitness. It still amazes me.
I just went back to your old log and read your posts on low-carb and high-fat. I really need to print that out and put it on my wall. I have to consciously eat more fat...it's good for me
So. No training at all for 2 years and you have 4% bf?
Not "at all" but at 20%.

I am strict in my food - that is the secret.
I believe that the body needs confidence. I don't change my food and training radically. My body knows that I will supply quality food sooner or later.
If you body is afraid then will steal (make you lazy, etc.) calories and store them, even if you eat little amount of calories.
