In week 12 of stronglifts routine this week. Had a week off with the flu and had to deload by 10% which took a while to recover from. I'm doing my first 100kg squat tomorrow, something I didn't think possible a couple of months ago. Can't believe the progress. It's tough, but I still seem to keep upping the weights. I'm 42 and have dabbled briefly with weight training but always given up as I didn't have a clue what I was doing. This is the first thing I've done where I've seen progress. I've become slightly obsessed with it!
A quick question regarding diet. I have been hammering the food...mostly clean but a with a bit of filth here and there. I'm not tracking my calories/macros but my weight has been going up. I started lifting at 94kg and I'm up to 98kg as it stands. Am I better tracking everything or should I just be happy that my weight is going up? I'm not getting any fatter. I tracked previously and I found it grim...just the idea of scanning and weighing everything (this was a few years ago mind).
