Wife's birthday today, knowing the food that was in store thought I'd go for a bit longer walk today taking the longer route up the maunga, 5.4km
Ended up jogging up the steps, then pretty much running, albeit a slow pace, down and back along to my car.
HR hit 190 briefly but I did try to keep it above 140 from the ascent.
-
Yesterday did a workout where I started with 3 reps, then 4, 5, 6 through to 12
Walkout push ups
Goblet squats
Upright rows (resistance bands)
Seated rows (resistance bands)
Bicep curls (resistance bands)That took alot longer than I expected, and the last few rounds of Walkout push ups were hard.
Finished with HIIT of 25 sec work 10 sec rest of Skipping and punch bag for 8 mins.

Hit the gym last night!
Stll well in net calorie deficit, weighed 98.2kg this morning, which is 1.5kg loss since I stopped my anti-biotics 8 days ago, so unsure if that had something to do with we retaining weight.
Still having issues with my tennis elbow, nothing major, just annoying, people I talk to often say how painful it is, mine isnt painful, just annoying.
Bit harder stretching the muscles on the top of the forearm, but trying to up the stretching and work on them overall.

I get that when I do elbow push ups, my right ( I’m left handed ) flares up and is pretty sore. Everything else seems fine, just those particular exercises
I just Deep Heat the shit out of it and try and ignore it.

So weighed in at 97.4kg this morning, almost another keg in a week, so things starting to move in the right direction.
Also been doing a few new exercises for flexibility/mobility of hip flexors and shoulders, can really feel the benefit of them in my creaking old body haha!

She's hot work at the gym currently with no fans and water stations off!
Stuck on 170kg for my deadlift, so might need to dial it back a little and try doing more reps at slightly lower weights for a bit.
Hovering around 97-97.5kg at present, starting point of 101kg 6 weeks ago. I'm consuming on average 2200 cals a day, going to the gym 4/5 days a week.
So 96 was Dr's goal for me to hit and maintain for my cholesterol check, but I'm going for 95, and I reckon my cholesterol will be right.

96.4kg this morning, pretty happy with that.
Better eating playing a big part, but also finish every workout with 10 mins cardio helping too I expect.
My gym has turned the fans back on in the last few days and also turned on the drinking tap again, thank fuck.

So a week on and still at this weight...so has slowed, despite looking like I'd hit my target of 95 fairly soon.
A bit frustrating, but this weight loss is certainly different to when I've dropped weight in the past (can usually shed 5kg in a month pretty easily - purely eating better) but with the gym and eating more (although still in calorie deficit) it is alot slower.
Also decided I need to stretch more, flexibility is ok, but ok isnt ideal, so been doing a fair bit, mostly on my shoulders, lower back and hip flexors, but have noticed improvement already.

Do plyometrics and jumping exercises. Great for flexibility

Farking so hot working out at moment, getting through 3L+ of water during a workout.
2 huge workouts this weekend to offset the fact I knew my calorie intake yesterday and today was gonna be huge - 5000+ past 2 days (conservative estimate) but that is the worst Xmas weekend (in terms of food/drink) out of the way until Xmas actual.
Been taking my boxing gloves to the gym and finishing on the bag for my cardio, been worried it may affect my tennis/golfers elbow, but I think it might turn out to be good for them, certainly good way to finish a workout!

I put being a bit leaner these days solely down to shadow boxing and bag workouts ( although as we’re in an apartment while looking to buy frustratingly I can’t do the latter at the moment, the bag is in storage ).
Top boxers are, in my opinion, THE best all round athletes on the planet ( although top Rugby players are up there ) and just throwing lots of punches, moving, bobbing and weaving I can see why. If you do it correctly it’s not just cardio, it’ll work the explosive power fucken well too. I wish I’d done it more regularly years ago but better late than never.

Doing rounds on the bag must be outstanding cardio. Really should get into the boxing side more.

More fun than swimming, tougher on joints though !

That's the downside. High impact. But damn it fooks you up in a good way.

working on a bit of volume for deads, to work up to try to hit a PB before end of the year.
Tonight was 5 x 100, 5 x 140, 3 x 150, 5 x 140, 5 x 120, although hammies/lower back were a bit tight from hyperextensions supersetted with RDLs last night.
Rest day tomorrow, and a work lunch at a new restaurant... probably
-
hit the gym early this morning to beat the heat!!
Havent done alot of squats lately, a bit worried about my dodgy knee, but have been working on my overall depth and flexibility lately so did some today, only went to 100kg, and after did some trap-bar deads standing on a platform, super-setted with step ups (onto box jump box)
Heart rate well and truly up then!
Some work on my shoulders, again, alot of flexibility, stability stuff but def feel it working.
Good 15 on the bag to finish (had some time on the foam roller on my scapula area a few times during the time too)
Weight loss has slowed again, sitting in the high 96 low 97 now, but given the work I'm doing and intake, I gotta be losing some fat (stuff round the middle is tough to shift, but can see it is moving) wife said I stopped snoring, so thats a good thing haha
-
was meant to hit deads today in one last volume sesh before trying to beat my PB before NY...but my glutes and hammies were still singing after fucking reverse lunges on Saturday so was a light round of defecit deads.
Really liking time on the bag to finish my workouts though, if I wasnt sweating already, this just finishes me off.
Even not hitting it hard but just some fast combos for 10-20 seconds is killer.
-
did some dead volume yesterday, 5 x 100, 5 x 140, 2 x 160, 5 x 140, 5 x 140, 5 x 100
I wasnt feeling particularily energetic yesterday and the 2 at 160 were a battle, so unsure how I'm gonna add >15 to beat my PB...but anyway.
Weighed in 96.7 this morning, been a battle to get below 96 though!
-
wouldnt you know it, wake up Xmas morning, weigh in 96kg (which is the 5kg loss goal Dr gave me) so yeah, Christmas Day, like most people I expect, eating, drinking, eating, drinking...
96.5kg today, so back at it!

Have a dump, that should sort it.
