I lost 15 lbs last year (200->185) after getting blood work done and seeing that lifting weights doesn't affect your blood sugar; got crazy about veggies.

Lost 25 more 185->160) over the last year ish since starting Adderall back up for the first time in about 10 years. My lifts have completely ate shit now that I'm back in the gym, of course.

I've gone from squatting 315 to barely managing a plate. Shoulder press has slid from a plate to straining with 80 lbs. Everything else is predictably poor, except...

My cable row is still solid relative to my current scarecrow (6'3, 160 lbs) weight. My 1RM is 210. I still got the dependable Doritoback.

I've recentered on core more than I ever have so I can feel some progress while I get my nutrition back in order. I've been doing modified spiderman planks, where you tuck your left elbow and right knee into your stomach, then vice versa, while maintaining your plank. You alternate every rep to keep the movement dynamic. It's brutal, but I've never had such a great core workout that also actually felt stimulating; planks bore the shit out of me otherwise.
