I agree with droopy & DT, but one thing that hasnt been mentioned is at the top position, you want your torso to be in a front plank position.

Monte, you live in Indy and aren't even considering checking into IFAST? facepalm.jpg

6 blocks dude. Monte won't even get out of bed if he has to go further than the bathroom and/or refrigerator most days.

cha,

lol me, but yugoisright.jpg. I see my kids infrequently enough as it is, and lunch during the week is literally the only time I have available to lift. No way I'm driving up by Carmel to learn how unbalanced and pathetic my physique is; I have all of you guys for that.

I work a couple miles from Cressey Performance. Not even once.

KumAs?

skittleballzzzz

JA posts in my log and I am up 3lbs in 4 days, despite being under my kcals. Water weight or JA effect?

Au Cheval. Maybe top "thin" burger, Kumas is prob #1 or #2 obv. Thick way-too-expensive bacon / pork belly slice on top of Au Cheval burger seals it's top-5 ranking. I am not up to date on what all the kids are eating these days, though.

Ja effect. Kumas is overrated.

no u.

24kg kb, 500 swings, ladder same as above but no strength movement

total so far 2700/10000 swings.

Are you tracking the amount of time it takes you to complete the workout?

No, but I can tell it's getting faster and I know it was 31 mins today, no strength movement though. I take the full 30 secs between sets and 3 min between ladders. I can prob start cutting that rest down, at least in earlier rounds. Reps are getting more crisp and faster as well. Overall cardio has gone from 2/36 to maybe 12/36.

Once I get the AIDS purged from me I'm going to give this a try.

It's good for an "intervention" or "bootcamp" workout imo.

I'd recommend taking care of your hands now. Filing & bag balm &/or "working hands", if you don't already. Maybe do some light grip work too. My hands are still my limiting factor.

I'm pretty good about keeping my callouses trimmed down, but I need to get some bag balm or something like that. I assume chalk is a good idea? I've got the liquid stuff that works pretty well.

Chalk is weird with KBs imo.

I seem to recall that KB weirds chalk the handle a lot, and then their hands too. I don't do this. I just chalk my hands a small bit if/when anything starts to slip. I should probably do what the KB people do.

How goes the unfattening?

Sorta stalling this week. Started the week with lots of beer and a burger... but I'm fairly certain I stayed in my cals, just **** macros. Then mini-big-man got sick which ****ed sleep for about three days. Now family is in town and likes to drink and we go out constantly...

I think I can still stick to a plan though. I am still tracking, and still making good choices overall, anything else is an exception. Only seven thousand more swings to go!

week 0 - 11/4/2013 - 291.3 lbs (start)
week 1 - 11/11/2013 - 290.2 lbs (-1.1 lb)
week 2 - 11/18/2013 - 281.4 lbs (-8.8 lbs for week, -9.9lbs overall)
week 3 - 11/25/2013 - 279.5 lbs (-1.9 lbs for week, -11.8lbs overall)
week 4 - 12/2/2013 - 276.8 lbs (-2.7 lbs for week, -14.5lbs overall)
week 5 - 12/9/2013 - 274.0 lbs (-2.8 lbs for week, -17.3lbs overall)
week 6 - 12/16/2013 - 270.5 lbs (-3.5 lbs for week, -20.8lbs overall)
week 7 - 12/23/2013 - 270.5 lbs (-0 lbs for week, -20.8lbs overall)

Stall on weight loss. I ate way more than usual. When I did stay within kcals, my macros were only good about three days this week. It's no coincidence that I also didn't accurately log three days this week (I logged, but just an estimate for overall meal vs foods). That said, if this past week came around when I was lifting or just not paying attention, I would have maybe +4 or +5ed it. I will still have a tough holiday week coming up, but I will try to do better on logging my specific foods rather than meal estimates, as this tends to be when I go significantly over my kcals.
