Notes

Down 3.5-4kg now from start depending on what start point is defined as, and absolute strength is about the same (fairly easy sets of 6 w/ 80kg total on chinups, for example), which is exciting. Looking a lot leaner. Ab fat remains stubborn, of course, but hopefully the next 3kg will sort that out.

The fact that absolute strength numbers are staying the same (maybe slightly improving? Haven't maxed out, ofc, so can't be sure) makes me feel more comfortable with the fact that my weight is moving down pretty quickly. That and the fact I don't _feel_ too tired or weak or anything.

For planche I'm going to do more sets of shorter hold in future, just to improve rep quality. The first one was great, the others shaky. Serratus strength/shoulder blade positioning still feels like the weak point.

Been super busy and training not been a top priority, glad to get two lifting sessions in though, as that's probably what's required as a minimum to maintaning muscle up top, running an extra, will probably be able to get one in on Sunday, maybe tomorrow morning if I feel energetic, but might benefit more from just sleeping.

Next lifting sesh will be doubles w/ +32kg, and if I'm still ~67kg then that's sets w/ +48% of my bw, which is kind of startling to me.

i think he won gold in the in the 2017 world champs.

he's now looking like a gold medal threat in Tokyo. i like the dude, hope he stays healthy and can have some great jumps there.

pc!

Yeah, first to defend the high jump world championship title. Sotomayor won it twice as well, but at non-consecutive games.

Hoping Barshim is still in shape for 2020, I'm sure he's dreaming of Olympic gold.

BW - 67.4kg

Waist @ navel - 78.5

Neck just under larynx - 36cm

Per the Navy body fat formula this puts me at 13.6% body fat, which seems about right. So to get to ~10% I need to lose another 3-4kg. That's fine by me -- optimal BMI for climbing (which I'll extent for my purposes to OAC strength) is 21 apparently, which for me is around 63kg.

May run later today.

Notes

Felt possible to go for a triple on the last set of chins, and wasn't too bad in the end. That's good since I have to jump 3kg up to 32kg for the set doubles session, since I have no convenient way to load something intermediate.

Back to weighted hangs. Felt nice. A bit weaker than I left off, but endurance hangs are v different, so I'm sure it'll come back nicely.

Planche progressing well.

Tuck Planche

Notes

Weight continues to move well. Have got in the rhythm with dieting -- no desire for snacks any more.

Tuck planche balance/focus a bit shoddy -- weakness feels like the serratus/shoulder blade control rather than delts as such. Good to work on that stability, probably helpful to avoid injury with OAC stuff too. Will get better as I practice the movement, but, yeah, exciting that strength feels like it's there. Hopefully can move to pushups or advanced tuck soon.

Up to 25.25 for the next 4 rep sesh.

Running while cutting feels tough. Hoping to finish this cut in about 4-5 weeks.
