7 Weeks
May 20 is the deadline. The goal? lose enough weight to be down 2 pants sizes since January. Trying to fit a pair of pants might seem a feminine goal, but fuck it. Pants don't lie. The scale is a mocker and the mirror is only as accurate as your mind's eye anyway. 7 fucking weeks. A four-pronged attack. Can I muster enough discipline? Am I smart enough to plan everything properly? As long as I constantly remind myself that I am of singular puprose, progress is assured. Singular purpose. The mental training is going to be the toughest. 24 by 7, always thinking, always dwelling on the goal. The ante has been upped in spades. If don't put down something, ANYTHING in this blog DAILY that pushes me further along the path, it's all for shit. EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. I only have 49 of them, starting with today. One down, brah. How'd you do?
SUNDAY APR 1
tired. Yesterday was fun. Tippin' back beers with the fam is always worth it, but now it's time buckle down.
warmup: near continuous movement for the length of one song. did various exercises with an empty bar.
push press: 135x5,5 155x2 185x2 205x2 225x8x2 basically on the minute. --good. good speed, form is improving. Wrists STILL a little dinged from god knows what. Experience tells me wrist pain heals slowly whether I train or not, so it's best to train. Good speed. Repeating this on Wednesday.
Bench press: worked up to 225x1, then did 265x1, and it felt "just right". Worried that I would miscalculate what weight I should use, but this felt good. I can always go heavier on Thursday. 265x3x1,2,3 --good, solid reps. I'm gonna pause more of them as I go. 36 total reps or bust, and that's with increasing PP volume weekly as well
wrist curl with DB, Jeck style: 60xouch (right hand not right) 50x sets of 10+ for the left, and 6-8 for right. I dunno if I like this, but I'll hang with it at least on Sundays
tried some pullup machine, but shoulders were tired and wrist curls fucked my grip so I said fuck it. Would have done it right away but two tools were fucking around on it. The perils of waiting till 3:30 to go to the gym. I wanted two meals in me anyway first.
Called it there. Not ideal, but I am gonna like this new setup, I think. Adding volume in the bench is gonna be damn doable
Grip: Wrist and Pinch
when I got home I hit the block weight. Got it with my right hand, no chalk. I'm gonna work on it no chalk first and use only the bare minimum after. I'll stick the the half 50 indefinitely, but I'm surely gonna work on plate pinching as well, perhaps if I get stuck jumping rope in the gayrage when it's raining out
I also hit 3 sets of max reps of band pullparts with the green band. paused each rep at peak contraction. Hit the upper back pretty good!
Diet:
woke up late.... I am a lazy cunt
1. about half lb ground sirloin cooked through with mushrooms and onions, with a slice of cheese (I drained the grease from the cheese)
2. (1hr pre workout): 2 servings ON Casein with 4tbsp heavy cream (this may be limited, specially when I get my nitrean. But it makes the shit taste sooo good)
3. (post): 3 servings ON casein with 4 spoons cream
4. a piece of cheese and a ton of water (I"m feeling dried out today. mouth is dry, etc)
5. about a pound of chuck steak and a few cups salad veggies
that will be it for today.
