Well, I have a question to ask today that has been bothering me all morning

#1: As most of you know, I have been dieting a while well I took a small break and just held my ground and weight and now I have started up again to finish the second half of the race, I was 218 pounds 3 days ago and I just weighed myself again today and weighed 213, Normally Ide be very proud but I was concerned I may be losing muscle. I eat aprox 150 - 200G of protein in a day and work my ass off non-stop exercising, but I think losing 5 pounds in a little under 3 days is alot (probaly 2 of the pounds lost were from less salt though)

In the last 3 days I have: Sprinted a mile overall
Jogged 2 - 3 miles
Lifted weights for a hour x2
2 HIIT sessions (7 & 8 mins [Im going for 9 on Friday]
45 minutes of random jogging/biking/stretching/whatever (was bored during commericals on american idol lol)
+calories burned from walking around (I very rarely sit down Im always standing really

Now Im curious, I have been exercising alot but I think 5 pounds lost is still alot, but I would like some advice ( Im getting aprox 1500 - 1700 calories in a day (the amount a dieting person should get as I understand)


#2: 2 Questions combined about front squats:

Well, Today I just did front squats for the second time and the first time I found the socket ok but today I just couldnt seem to find the stupid thing no matter how hard I tried, instead of it fitting minorly uncomfortably I got massive pain from holding it, any advice?

and just a little extra thing ... Why the hell are front squats so much harder then back squats? I struggle to do a 75 pound front squat and can do a near 200 back squat is this natural haha?


Thanks, Off to go rest so freaking tired Russian Curls + Front Squats + lunges = nap time
