WTF? That is 2 days in a row that i ate 20 wings at Whistlers (near my office in NJ) and 2 days i lost ALOT of weight. Lets see how i do for the rest of the week but i would be happy if this weigh in was on Friday. Maybe not because it is only .6 lbs below my lowest, but to get this far already this week is a big suprise. If nothing else, i know what i am eating when i go out to eat when i am at the office. It tastes great (i got the wings extra crispy this time) and i is just the right amount for lunch. Not too much, just right.
The question is why is this working? i would love to try it for a 3rd day in a row but i am working from home today. I still think it is because i am motmixing any carbs with all that protien! I am doing the protien shake in the morning and all that protien for lunch abd only a couple of carbs at night.
I did class last night at the gym. It was a great workout. We did some overhead holds (with a 24 kg) and also some farmers walks with the 32kg. the farmers walks were for 3 sets of 1 min with a plank inbetween. Killer. I barely made the last set. I mean barely.
We finished up with a bunch of snatches, my favorite. We just did 5/5 every min for 4 min then rested for a min (actually 1:30 rest) and repeated 4 times. So the last 2 sets i did the last set straight through so i did an extra 10 reps per last 2 sets. The best i did was 5/5 3 straight times with no rest. So i am getting there again. The best part is the fact that i did not wear any gloves and my hands felt great. I mean i did not have any pain at all. It is the new style i figured out (not letting it hit my fingers, just the tips by closing my fingers more). It went so well i am thinking i may try messing around with the 32 kg soon. If it works for that, i am going after the SSST in both the 24 & 32 by the end of this year.
Grippers went okay. I am feeling stronger but i still think i need alot of rest before i actually close that #2.5. I got to 8 mils today. Nothing great, but i am getting there mentally. I bet i could close it if i rested for a week before i tried again. I will know more when i am done with this program in a couple of weeks. I am still not close to the #2 with my left. It's sad because i am about 16 mils away. My strap holds are even sad with my left. I do them for 7 sec but a can barely make it with 10 lbs for my left but my right starts at 12.5 lbs and finishes at 15 lbs. IDK
I did learn a new exercise from Brian for my thumb strength. It is doing presses but hanging the bell off of my thumb. It is tough. I started with 3/3 at 20 kg's. I think as i can max out this weight my thumbs will really explode with strength, which will really helb the grippers and pinching work. Nice.
