This morning's weigh-in was mildly alarming. 177.6! This represents a major step in the wrong direction. I'm not sure if it's just from a little too much revelry this weekend or whether I'm really just this bad at gaining weight, but I guess I'll just bump my calories up anyway. The estimated TDEE is, of course, an estimate so it being low is okay! That's the entire reason I try to get a good weekly average of weight, to correct for these sorts of things. Plus, now I get to eat more! Yay?
Actually I'm at a point where I rarely feel hungry anyway. I may need to start adding in more high calorie foods. You know I made a couple PBJ sandwiches last week and each one was 6-700 calories!? That's crazy! Makes it easy to hit your daily requirements though, that's for sure.
On Monday I had my first issue of grip strength being an issue on Deadlift. The new gym I joined has signs posted that basically say, "You can do Deadlifts, but don't drop the weights." So, of course, I was trying to lightly place the weight back down when my grip kind of gave out and it slipped. It was pretty embarrassing! This becomes an issue for most people eventually, and an easy fix is switching my grip from both hands being "over" the bar to a mixed grip with one hand being "under" and the other being "over." There are also wraps that you can get but I'd prefer not to do that since it seems a little like cheating.
