Starting progress

Generally the idea with weight lifting is that it's more ideal for muscle mass than other forms of resistance training. But so far I'm seeing more weight loss than I ever noticed when I did this last year. In terms of muscle mass, I'm seeing less size because the chosen resistance is less than what I was doing with time under tension. So, I'd give myself about 2-3 progressive overload days to get back to where I was at with bodyweight exercises (which was 3 weeks of progress).

My only concern is that I did change from the barbell row underhand to the overhand, and I don't know if progressive overload with that exercise at the same time as everything else is considered overtraining. I think 6 days for the new grip position should be fine, but if I lose gains then I guess I'll have to get through another 4-5 days of overtraining recovery.

So to recap:

Gains are slightly reduced

Body fat percentage is lowered

Today I changed from the underhand to the overhand barbell row

I'm trying 6 days before progressive overload with the new overhand grip
