The Referee's Grip

Palmetto Classic training part 2

Alright it is late Monday night but I am here for a short recap since Friday. I am starting to get back on the track. Saturday after all responsibilties were completed I made it to the gym and completed around a mile and a half + uphill 15 degree incline at around 3.7 miles an hour. Total uphill altitude 1198 feet 24 minutes?. Then 100 crunches and 30 obliques each side. This was a pretty good re-entry after being off for four weeks. I went back to the old standby before leaving and did pullups followed by hammer curls on the machine. That actually made me feel better as well working from sets of 10 declining in numbers as I added weight starting with 45 pounds and ending up with the setting at 130 and two reps in the end right handed and 100 with the left two reps. Sunday was kind of a nightmare because the shock on the back and arms was noted but I still made use of the day and even worked a little hammer pronation and suponation late that night. Monday we did the armwrestling practice which was cool but I had a few of the guys that were too sore from last monday however another one showed that wasnt present last week and we dealt it out . We made this practice more about training than pulling but we did pull until people were running for the napersenes. This is because we did the monkey bar type work hand walking . It was pretty severe since it is 14 feet long and down and back is one trip. You add armwrestling after that and people get what they came for. I think alot of people use different things like pin boards and ropes etc. I am not really dieting heavy yet but it was salad for dinner tonight and shrimp cocktail. I am still around 216-217 but plenty of time once the metabolic slingshot goes into effect as long as I am not loading carbs with bread or rice or potatoes etc. that my body can convert. You know what they say > release the grease. Once that starts it will be 2 pounds a day because I intend to still eat otherwise I would drop faster and you dont want to lose muscle so you have to eat. It is all about what you eat though. Still out on the jury about 198 or 220. I will either be like 205 in the 220s or I will just barely come under the wire at 198. It is no matter because both classes will have plenty of targets and they will all be worthy. Time for sleep now and I will report back thursday or Friday of what I was able to accomplish in the week. I never know because my schedule varies. It is the dedication that gets us through and not the schedule normality. As nike says just do it. Night
