BW - 66.9
Workout
Chins
BW x 3, 3
+13 x 6, 6, 6, 6
Deadhangs
HC@24mm
BW x 5s, 5s
HC@21mm
BW x 5s
HC@18mm
BW x 5s
+8 x 5s
+16 x 5s, 5s, 5s
Planche Lean
BW x 5s, 5s
Tuck Planche
BW x 13s [much cleaner form than last time], 13s, 13s, 13s
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.
