I’d been neglecting the blog side of things, filming daily and uploading daily to youtube.
It’s about 8pm.
The youtube stuff was earlier in the day, the 5×5 pressing and the talk both.
Alongside the near keto, near carnivore I’ve been half running for about a month now (only stringent about having nine eggs with some meat each and every day – to the point I microwaved just that a couple hours after a big restaurant dinner the other night), the press every day that was day 11 today, I too have been doing some variant of squats, light and high rep in addition.
Today it was outside after dark, 2×15 overhead squatting an empty bar, and feeling good, this is the best time of year to train outdoors after dark, a refreshing chill in the air, but not a snow covered world – I tacked on a 15:00 practice of handstands to it, doing a handful of burpees and too practicing pistols for a handful of attempts starting from the bottom using minimal strength from my second leg raising it as soon as possible.
Somewhere in the 30s °f, and I went shirtless pretty quickly – mostly I concede shoes, hat, gloves to the temperatures, recent upload video evidence to the contrary :)-
I was so happy pressing 185lbs for 5×5
The practice was mostly handstands, and the best one was around triple the length I can usually hold, maybe fifteen seconds, but probably more like ten.
That’s the level of handstand I have baked in, I want it to where I can stay there indefinitely, move my legs around in air, do stuff other than sometimes just hold position briefly.
The ability to move legs around, etc, is where I’ve been for years on the headstand.
I’d honestly expect more handstand ability considering I’m good at headstands.
Funny to think, but at 290lbs it could make sense to go somewhere and get gymnastics and/or yoga coaching – have THAT be my thing moreso than lifting weights.
Whatever.
Soon I’ll be back inside, eat the rest of the day’s egg and meat mix – on a whim I got these mini summer sausage things, dietary equivalent to hot dogs, but not particularly good – though since they’re edible I have that waste not want not thing going with them lol.
They’re in today’s egg mix.
