Quick one to test cut finger had healed enough not to reopen and bleed everywhere, as it had been doing with some everyday stuff last couple of days. Push/legs/core tmrw.

Lmao, cut my right ring finger/nail open cooking last night (super blunt knife slid off an onion, need to sharpen). Fairly deep cut, so hanging is pretty painful. Amusingly, this is also what happened the last time I trained? Anyway, that's annoying but hopefully won't be an impediment for too long.

Well, went through a bit of a rough patch mentality wise and didn't have the zest to train. Did occassional pushups, max chins etc, so should be back up to speed soon.

Just needed a little bit of a mental reset -- training resumes tmrw.

bleh workout. that one eccentric killed me for the rest of it, though felt a little off from the start. Ah well, down weeks happen, esp. while dieting. scap pulls feeling more solid at least

jam doughnuts are misnamed, but that is still a good tip, thanks.

anyway, THESE are doughnuts:



god i miss autumn in the US.

yeah, i think we're basically in accord on doughnut views here. you don't get anything here that has what matches the iconic us doughtnut texture. i wish i could find some apple fritters.

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

Lmao, not a banner day for eating. Wasn't really a fold/failure of adherence as such, but friend had a 6 pack of doughnuts delivered to us as a gift, and me and my gf felt bad at not eating them, so i did my duty there, haha. Carb fest, basically. Back on course tmrw, when hopefully can use those carbs for a great workout

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.

Taking a rest day. Sore AF from yesterday, and fingers need a break. Had a nap instead of working out, can recommend. Will workout tmrw.

reminds me of an old lyle mcdonald piece about the weird non-linearity of weight loss: "of whooshes and squishy fat."

ah nice one. Read the article, good description of what's going on, I think!

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!

Notes

Rest day today.

Have to say, despite low calories, recovery has been really good lately. I think that's probably mostly to do with really focussing on protein intake, can imagine I was usually just getting like 50g a day, maybe 70 on days I had a shake, before this.

Notes
 
Well, that's a pretty big PR. Failed on the 1.8xBW attempt, but hit 1.785, so am pretty happy with that. Should start to work OAC stuff on alternate pulling days, now, as I guess the strength is there.

The weird numbers for the higher weight pullups are because i got them by measuring total BW on a scale while loaded, so 119.4 was highest successful weight I managed. If I can keep that total aroudn 120kg while dropping closer to 60kg (probs not getting passed like 63-64), then I'll be golden.

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

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