HT Comp - Squat Reps n' PushPull - Assessment - June 29

One month on this HT Comp cutting cycle, numbers are pretty good. Best numbers in a long while, actually. Weight hasn't really changed so to speak, but 1.5" off the midsection means that the calorie restriction is burning fat. I'm not working hard, most weeks are 1 on, 1 off because of my work schedule. 

HT Comp - Shmotel - June 26

A long week of too busy running around to exercise. Okay for a week, and okay on this program, but not okay in the long run. Not where I want to be for the long haul.

HT Comp - Simple Triplet - June 17

Good thing I'm not working on gains right now. Not the time, not the energy to work really hard. Cutting is easier when you don't have the space or inclination to eat.

Probably should have shot for 10-12's each set, but I almost stayed in bed this morning as it was. Not optimal, but a win for baby steps.

8.5 hours - 2200/0630. 14 mins total. PE: 6. 225/13.

BF% showed at 10% on Sunday, thought the scale just needed a new battery. 13% solid for today and on Saturday means that I actually have seen some movement on Comp.

HT Comp Following JB's Lead - June 13

Just doing whatever John's got on the schedule for today. I wasn't really up for anything this morning, but I'm glad for the positive peer pressure. This worked into the schedule pretty well, actually. I needed to DL, for certain.

HT Comp 2.4 Triplet - June 5

Another day feeling jittery and sickish. I'll feel better in a few days. Today was supposed to be AM ab wheel rollouts, but I did the PM work instead. Nice and cool outside, don't want to waste the weather.

HT Comp 2.3 Squat Reps - June 4

Easy squats just trying to limber up. Just started some new meds yesterday, kinda jittery and nauseous, but just getting the groove greased. Not much to say about today, just doing something because it's better than doing nothing.

Oly Squat

HT Comp 2.2 NEPA - June 3

AM
NEPA walk to Beach, where I did 3x max reps neutral grip pulls on the HT timer.
Walked back with three .1 mi accelerations.

Running felt really tight in my lower back. Would have done this yesterday morning, but my right achilles tendon was painful - maybe from walking around Disneyland in Converse, maybe consequential tightness from RDLs. Felt okay today though, just the back bugging.

PM
No time to do anything at lunch (doctor's appt) or evening (sissy's birthday dinner!).

7 hours - 2330/0630. 30 minutes total. PE: 6. 228/15.
