Training Log: 898

First time in 5 years that the first two numbers on the scale have read "1" and "8". 189.8. In 2.8lbs, I'll have 20lbs total loss, which is about as far as I want to go, but if I can keep losing fat while getting stronger, I'll take it.

Training Log: Entry 897

Heavybag, 2 minute rounds, 30 second rest
6 rounds 16oz gloves
3 rounds 8oz gloves

Notes: 30 second rounds are doing a lot better on taxing my conditioning.  Wore my gel-wraps to help with the pain in my hands. 

Ran for a little more than a half mile afterwards, just to keep in running shape.

Training Log: Entry 896

SSB squats of 365
5,3,3

of 245
5

Notes: Had more in me, but going with my strategy of staying low on volume for my PR.  The SSB is pushed back pretty far, but I'm beyond caring.  Low bar squat rules anyway.

Bench of 285
5,3,3

of 185
1x12

Notes: Lowered the pins, so the ROM is a little futher.  Touch and go on the last rep, but I'm ok with that.  I need to warm-up better.

Chins of 65
6,4,4

Cluster

Heavybag: 2 minute rounds
6 w/16oz gloves
3 w/8oz gloves

Notes: Technique is a mess, but my conditioning is great as a result of the weight loss.  I actually hung up the gloves due to my hands stinging rather than being tired.  I should get some decent bag gloves.

Bodyweight: 190.5

Goddamn this has got to stop.  I'm doubling my protein for my morning meal, and will have to make a conscious effort to eat more.  I've been cheating a ton on the diet, and I'm still losing weight too quickly.  I wasn't expecting to hit this weight until November.

 

SSB squats of 360
3x5

245
1x5

Notes: As my bodyweight drops, my mobility improves.  Very easy to hit depth now.  My current programming is working great as well.  Weight felt light.

DB rows of 130
3x5

off floor
1x10

Strict press of 155
3x7

of 95
1x9

Notes: Training the main sets as touch and go for the majority of the reps, while my work capacity sets have a pause.

Took some pics of me at 190 with a pump post workout.  May upload them sometime.  What's remarkable is my trap development despite no direct trap work.

SSB squat of 355
3x5

of 245
1x5

Notes: Greatest set ever.  I'm stacking the bar a bit lower on my back, and it allows me a much better arch and easier depth.  It dawned on me that double bodyweight has moved from 400 to about 380 now, so it explains why the weight feels so heavy.

Chins w/60lbs
3x6

Cluster

Bench of 280
5,4,4

of 185
1x10

Notes: Need to drop the pins a level and put on the padding.  I'm hiting pins before chest pretty often unless I really crank my arch.  The ROM hasn't changed, it's just jarring on my joints.

Training Log: Entry 892

Bodyweight: 192.5

Notes: I'm being too strict with my diet.  A 2.5lb drop in a week is not acceptable.  I'm going to eat more this week, and expect to maintain or possibly gain at the next weigh in.
