Average calories is up, while activity is down a bit, and yet losing just as fast as before.

Big size drop in legs and hips, from all that swelling going down, since cutting back on volume and frequency of lower body work this week.

Still feeling achey all over, but starting to feel fresher in the lower body

- bouldering x 90 mins
the gym uses a color-coded grading system, where each color overlaps with the ones above and below it. idea is that yellow is vb (beginner, very easy), red is v0-v2, green is v1-v3, etc. i've gotten to the point where i can do greens and most purples (v2-v4) on the first try, and have been getting some oranges (v3-v5) but it takes a bit and isn't always pretty. made progress today on two black routes (v4-v6) but didn't manage to complete either. will pick them up again next time. in both cases it's because there's a kind of move and body position that i just have never done before and am pushing the edge of my range of motion to do.

my approach now is to do some mobilizations and then repeatedly climb a bunch of yellows an reds before starting in on something harder, skipping over greens because they're easy enough to do first time but still can be a little tiring.

push ups are good for post-climb because they stretch my wrists out

Notes

Going to freestyle training for a bit. Away for a week for a friends wedding soon. Back to serious programming after that, probably.

Fruits good, but you don't need veggies.
Meat has more nutrients than veges which are largely leaves and stems, and can be toxic.
I don't eat any veges, but depending on you definition of a vegetable... cucumbers and avocados are more fruit than vege
I avoid all leafy things, seeds and grains

Meat, fruit, raw honey, maple syrup, A2 milk, cheese is all I eat


 

Friday 31st May 2024

Upper body moderately achey from yesterday, much less than expected.
Lower body still fairly sore... posterior chain also more sore from the high angle rows yesterday.

Plus hamstrings got worked today when I went to pick up 6 second hand Hansu 25kg calibrated plates from Facebook Marketplace...
Originally was only ment to get 4 plates, but the guy had 2 more and the whole lot was cheap, so why not.

Not that I need 150kg more weight, but I wanted these for easier loading on chins and dips and other things
As these are much thinner than my 20kg bumper plates, and even the regular rubber coated 20kg plates.
Six of these 25kg plates occupy the space of three 20kg bumper plates...
Although I doubt I need to do 150kg chins or dips anytime soon
