I worked out earlier this morning. I do an upper body/lower body/full body work out split during the week. This is the first workout since my small cut. Some observations:
1) cutting the isometric exercises during my cut did impact my ability to hold them longer. I may decide to not artificially lower them next time to reduce backsliding
2) the deload at the end of the cut gave me the recovery I needed. Even with the strength exercises and lowered progressive overload there was some muscle mass loss
3) unlike other forays into exercise I have not injured or over trained yet. Another credit to the deload week.
4) my side lateral raise feels different. I'll likely be able to drop the extra lower weight set and be able to do more reps.
