New Year, New Log - Pursuing My Goals

Pursuing the goals I set for this year,

starting with the loaded carries workout in the last week of my 3 week load cycle.

This thread continues where the old one ended (Unorthodox Methods - Over 35 Lifter - Forums - T Nation)

Didn’t up on the flys and swimmers, but on the side raises. Had two 9 kg DBs lying around. Cut back on the sets, but upped reps and/ or weight.
Was in Berne this afternoon, didn’t get bike maps for the italian side of the alps, nor a barbell, BUT two nice books on yoga/ stretching. Some of the exercises are overlapping. I’m more on the mobility side than on the stretching one, but good stretches are the ones that combine mobility - as does yoga.

Foam Rolling and Stretching

So far the week has been quite some fun. The TGUs (quite clumsy) made me bit sore because I’m not used to them - yet!
The BW is sufficient for now, since I’d like first to incorporate the motion - left side is much more difficult. Maybe I do them with my 4 kg KB on Thursday to add a little weight.

Today huge focus is on grip. I Want to try a few things and noticed, I completely skipped the wrist curls, while writing down my schedule on paper (and textfile).
BUT with 7 exercises for grip in total, that should be sufficient for now anyway. I replace the DB-Holds with KB-Holds.

Today 74.1 kg
the last days I hovered around 73.3

I upped the daily kkal intake with 400 kkal more, so I should eat 4,000 kkal/ day approx.
I do that for two weaks, or until I cross the 75.5 kg threshold (73.3 kg plus 2.2 kg - a nice figure anyway)

You need to get 16kg and 24kg kettlebells 2 of each. You are strong enough to use them.

Very good work in here.
