AM steps/temp/hr/bw: 15/36.9/61/87.4
AM skinfold(mm): pec(9), sup(10), ab(16), lb(25), sum(60)
Weight Vest: 5 (93.2)
Supplement: 200/400 CEGCG (with vitc, 1g fish oil, 500mg cayenne) - 0800, 1200; 2g cayenne, 400mg EGCG 1400; Caffeine 250mg, 30mg p-syn, taurine teaspoon, berocca tab - 1700

Training day.

BS 6x122.5(p0), 1x155
Paused BS 3x130(PR), 6x117.5(PR)
Farmers walk 6x69kg (5kg vest, 32kg kbs; PR new exercise)
RVJ Jumps ~ 20 (some with vest)

Notes:
All that talk in Coges log got me thinking about weighted vest training. Played with my 10kg one while doing fasted walking inthe AM and ended up going OTT and using plates to do farmers walks. I  might have found my new obsession. It fits the bill - an endurance / strength exercise that involves the upper body .. hell the whole body really. Perfect.

Did one good jump with the vest. Not sure how high. But i may post it on insta.

Squatting was brutal. But that was the last heavy day while dieting. Only one workout left, monday's which is an eod minmax day and chest. Thinking i shud do a refeed but maybe i will do it wednesday. lets see.

Notes:
took skinfolds on the rhs of my body. so cant compare past measurements anymore. i cant think of any site where i feel confident that im taking a decent accurate measurement, it's too much error, but especially lower back - which unfortunately is where i hold the most fat. Maybe it will get more accurate as i lose weight though,i can see measurements being easier to take with smaller skinfolds than 25mm which is ridiculous.

Notes:
The conditioning work ive been doing lately (daily pushups / farmer walks etc) has paid off nicely for upper body. I pause benched that 98.5kg (which is a pause pr come to think of it) and i just couldn't lock out the 102.5kg but if i wasn't cutting maybe it goes up.

Back Xtn 6x100, 6x100, 8x100, 20x15

Notes:
Did i lose a kilo overnight? Nah. Usually the lightest day of the week because it's the morning of the carb refeed day which is the longest since the last one.

Ok it was a good idea on paper but it doesn't really work in practice. I had though i could add every kilo ive lost on the scales on to the bar. Not sure why, but the relationship isn't 1:1. Maybe i'll try 1:2. Sorry for the ugly squats ive subjected ppl to on insta!

Jumps
Bike PT  - 12 mins

Notes:
Dropped below 85kg .. visibly leaner. Not quite there yet but signs are promising. With the ab skinfold, the fold was so big before that it was harder to measure accurately, as i get leaner, paradoxically im getting higher albeit more accurate measurements. If that makes any sense?

I messed up my left hip doing one of the jumps. Im so pissed off about that b/c i dotn even believe in doing these jumps and i might have hurt myself doing something pointless  :pissed:

Notes:
Thankfully my left hip and right thigh seem fine. Those jumps were just hard on me because i was using the stupid crossfit shoes with no cushioning for the first time and also i was taking an akward runnup. Still got the cold but i think the fever part is over at least, now just the gross runny nose / sneezing / etc. It doesn't help the temperature last night was like 5 degrees and im not sure what it hit this morning but it's kinda cold, we dont build our houses here for cold (central heating etc is doesnt exist).

Wow, so you soured on the Metcons? I'm surprised to hear that they lack cushioning. I think they are the perfect jumping shoe.
