were they good doughnuts? because i still haven't had a truly good one outside the US. or even really seen/smelled one that looked promising.

if so, i demand details.

Not particularly, no. They were crosstown, which are basically just doughnut shaped cakes. I don't know why doughnuts in the UK are so bad.

Edit: imho the best readily available doughnuts in the uk are the sainsbury's 5 pack of jam doughnuts, which somehow only cost £0.80

Notes

The pinch is very technique/set up/sweat dependent, hence the up and down on the 16 holds.

Fingertip holds (only using the last section of fingers/thumb rather than getting as much I can on there) felt good, might make them the primary pinch for a while. Less skin stress that way, too.

Sleep hasn't been great lately, as it gets warmer, so felt a bit flat this workout. A little constipated, too, alas.

Notes

Very low BW this morning, wow. Big drop last couple of days after feeling semi-stalled last week

Lock offs felt pretty good at 90*, not so good at 120*, need to get stronger in that bottom portion. Even weighted was pretty relaxed at 90*, which is fun.

Including one arm scap pulls to hopefully help round out the weakness at the bottom. Haven't have shoulder pain since doing pushups/OHP/pushback/ab wheel regularly, since I think they're all really good for shoulder stability, but the scap pulls reminded me that my left shoulder still has a way to go to get left arm fully up to snuff.

Think the ab wheel w/ weight in backpack is really hard for the amount of weight added, because the weight sits at the bottom of the backpack, so is right over my hips/lower back, so loading specifically at the least advantageous point. That's good, lots of time to progress them then!

Workout

took a page out of adarq's book and did 300 walking lunges, more or less non stop. Took 11:42.

Notes

Happy to see the needle move on BW. Think it's probably because I had a good bowel movement this morning, haha.

Notes

Weight continues to go down pretty fast, but I don't feel weak/hungry, etc., so not too concerned. Could probably safely be eating like 1800-2100kcal, but I don't see the reason to as long as I'm feeling okay?

Sleep has been bad, lately, though this predates the calorie restriction. Haven't been able to sleep past like 7am, even when there's no need to be up, for ages. So, skipped workout today to nap, 3 days off is fine. Tmrw a big sesh + feeling a bit more rested, I hope.
