AugustaAdaByron Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Week 4 - Day 5 Goal 1: Lose the holiday and the illnesses' weight. I ate like an asshole again. Goal 2: No excuses. Rest day. Goal 3: Sleep. Did it. Bonus Goal: Deutsch. Didn't. Bonus (in general): Don't drop out. Haven't yet! So, yesterday was a full day. Too busy at work, then I left in a hurry to go to some stores before closing time because I needed to buy a birthday present. Right after that, I met with a friend (and was late because it took me too long to decide what I'd buy). Then home for dinner and making last minute arrangements with the friend who visited today. (Today was a very busy day too. I'll probably write about it tomorrow, if there's time.) I'm calling today (Saturday) the last day of the challenge though. Bad news is that deadlift sucked today. I sent a message to my coach asking if we could concentrate a bit more on it after the competition and he agreed. I could probably go heavier if I yolo'd my form and the coach kinda green-lighted yolo for the competition but I'm not sure I want to do it. I've been trying for so long to get the form right that I'm more worried about form regressing than the weight being lighter. Good news is that bench didn't suck. I managed all 8 sets of 3 at 45kg (which I had failed about a month ago) and then did a single at 45kg to commands (training buddy decided to go for an evil pause) which looks like it'd get white-lighted. I'd very much like to go 45-50-52.5kg but I'm not sure if 50kg would go up after a pause. 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Week 4 - Day 6 Goal 1: Lose the holiday and the illnesses' weight. Have no clue. Goal 2: No excuses. Did as much as possible with the exception of accessories that I didn't do because I wanted to minimise time at the gym. Goal 3: Sleep. Did it. Bonus Goal: Deutsch. Didn't. Bonus (in general): Don't drop out. Haven't yet! Not sure what to write. The weekend has been very busy. Since I haven't dropped out yet (despite considering it every time I'm at the gym) I'm considering this challenge to be successful! (Now I only need to not drop out for less than a week) 8 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
