272.2

I was very happy & suprised with this weigh in today. That puts me at 31.8 lbs so far this year. Last week was tough, i had a funeral on Wed & Thuesday and i pigged out. So my Friday weigh in was way high, actually 282.2. Then Friday night i got a bug and stayed in bed until Sunday afternoon. So then i lost all the weight from the virus. I figured it would find its way back so i was real good all week. I kept up with my workouts also, but no jogging. One 200 rep snatch workout and 2 little VO2 Max snatch workouts, the rest was all strength training. I even did my second week of my 5 day a week DO deadlift on a standard bar. So i was only expecting to get back to where i was the week proir. So i weighed myself each day, and each day i lost weight.

It could be because of the new protein shakes i switched to from GNC. The guy said it is there most popular brand and eny excess would not be stored in my body.

It could also be because i did not have a pig out day last Sat because i was so sick. I don't know. I'll see how i do this week and report back on next Friday.

My training is going well for CGC. i am doing everything i should be doing except Blob & Grippers. I concentrated on them before Gripmas and they did not help me at all. Lets see if this new training will help me beat someone in something besides sledge.

I have been training on my Axle DO, 1" v-bar and 2 HP. Hard to say where i am because the Axle is affecting my 2 HP.

Goal on those 3 lifts at the comp
2 HP - 175#
DO Axle - 340#
1" V-Bar - 300#

Then 25# on the sledge and i really dont care about the grippers

The medley wil suck also, but this is still new for me, Gripmas will be the real test in December
1" V-bar - 300#

Made it through the first week. 5 days. It was supposed to be pretty hard but i have room for improvement. I need to step it up this week with some manmaker cardio for Tues, Wed & Friday nights. I will stick with the 2 workouts per day, that seems to be doing okay

The DL stuff is on a 2 week cycle. I should be able to make it all week this week without failing in the DO on the Std bar, but the Axle DL will be close. I will be at 310 by Friday which should be about max for 1 rep after warm up, and i'll do it with 5 sets of 1 with no warm up, hmmm. (PR is 160 with 1 hand)

The ISO's are still doing okay i guess, had to judge them, i'll just keep doing them. I will re-wrap the IM wraps before i start tomorrow morning because they seem loose, that may help wobble the startght 7" pc past 3 degrees, lol

The kettlebell snatches seem okay, i could do more but i need to keep that in check because it could tear up my hands pretty damn quick and i do not want to use gloves this time. I'll just keep adding each week, and like i said this week will be the man makers with the 16 kg, so that should still be okay on my hands (i hope)

My weight was off this week, i had a funeral on Wednesday & Thursday so i ate alot, i was up 4.4 lbs as of Friday morning. Then Friday night i go real sick and today i weighed in at 277.2, that 5 lbs lower then Friday, but thats because i emtied out my whole body. Lets see how i do when i weigh in this Friday. I'm thinking below 275! definately

Made it through Day 1 and did everything i wanted. I also included the sledge work. 5 sets of 1 during the day.

I have decided to try something different with the sledge this time. i will only up the weight every week and never have a down cycle. Just thought i would try something different. So i'm stating at 17 lbs. It did not feel bad at all. Still had a couple problems with my oinky not feeling fully engaged so i need to work on my grip of the handle and pre cock my wrist a little it to raise my pinky on the bottom of the handle.

I am using the 31" handle that is cut to that length, no more adjusting my hand in the handle to make it harder. I'm just going to be adding weight, 1/2 lb per week.

I really want to hit 25 lbs at the comp, that would be so sweet. It would really get everyones attention !!!

I am very sore today but thats good, it will go away soon, i'm about to do my AM workout next.
