Been an insanely busy couple of days! Jan 5th consisted of waking up to complete the farm chores, then work in a near by town, then I picked up 458 pounds of pork that we had sent to the butcher. Got home completed afternoon chores and then our sow went into labour…in minus 43 degree weather She laboured from 4 pm till 6am…a long night for everyone, but we have 8 new happy piglets Yesterday was a mix of my day job and the farm and thats it…was pretty beat and hit the sac early.
Jan 8th I shovelled for 2 hours. Yes, I am counting that as activity lol. Jan 8th was also the day the DOMS started kicking in lol.
Jan 9th 50 min of LISS cardio.
Today (Jan 10th)
KB figure 8’s (each pass through my hands was a rep)
30x20# x3sets
Single arm clean to should press (ea. arm)
10x20#x3 sets
10 single arm lateral swings (I dont even know of these are really a thing but…) @ 20#
superset with
10 front shoulder raises (both arms) @ 20#
x3 sets
Floor press (punch? shoulder off the ground at the ext.)
15x20# x 3 sets
superset with
single leg glute/ham raises x10 each leg.
*I’ve decided I am most likely going to stick to the KB workouts for the rest of Jan and then hit the gym…the KB’s have been a refreshing change and I am liking the challenge of them instead of trying to get back into my old barbell routine and then feeling frustrated with myself.
*still doing good with food. I haven’t been tracking or anything, just making better choices and no alcohol or sugary drinks. At my BF% I can get away with that and still loose In about 2 weeks though I plan to start so that I have some sort of base number to work with.
20 windmills (each pass through my hands is a rep. I loose track other wise lol)
20x20#
Good morning, to reverse lunge, to shoulder press while down.
10 each leg x20# for 3 sets.
Stretching. <— one of my goals (other than trashing the fat pants) throughout this challenge is to gain flexibility. I am stiffer than I have ever been.
Final pics start weight was 146 and now I am fluctuating between 133 and 130.
I have also turned into an Oreo Cookie apparently
My plan moving forward is to maintain the 133-130 mark and start building on strength again. Sadly, my elbow has been killing me from winter chores (water/feed bucket hauling and pouring ) and its really made doing anything upper body difficult
