11/23/23
3am, I couldn’t fall asleep, so into the kitchen – a few oz of salami, a big scoop of peanut butter (crunchy – the better kind), a cookie, and glass of milk, then I’ll lay back down.
Other than all the delicious (6 dozen) cookies my mom made me the other day, well the egg/keto direction makes sense to me again.
Last night’s dinner of eight eggs with three forms of meat in the pan with them, was right.
I feel that the kettlebell and something in the vicinity of keto will work real well for me at this time.
Maybe push it to 18ct eggs a day, probably 1½lbs of meat across a few types each day.
I’ve already decided it’s gonna be kettlebell volume most days, and keep telling myself how I’ll do them, burpees, and overhead pressing – the three to a high physical level of performance, and to financial/career success.
It’s time.
…..
At 7am not having fallen asleep, well I “went to the gym”, filmed my day’s video.
not bad on any of them
…..
There’s definitely a struggle between filming content vs training.
One thing I want is to get the Sig Klein challenge with this 32 and 40kg pair of kettlebells.
I think I’ll do as many reps as I can get, pause – take a few deep breaths, switch which bell sides, and continue.
I can also do high rep clean and press every rep style with a barbell.
I’ve long had the idea to so a press version of the grace wod, even overweight the RXd 135lbs.
With my assortment of implements start getting into a strength endurance version of girevoy – use that as EVERYTHING rolled into one.
The kicker is I could’ve been doing this for years, now I’m getting there.
…..
No thanksgiving plans ☹️, not having slept – I basically got a night’s sleep through the day.
At about 4pm I went outside with the 40kg and 32kg kettlebells.
I got 3 reps clean and press every rep style, the 40kg in my left, the 32kg in my right (cleaning mismatched, weak side with the heavy bell…if bar path is not on point it’s a gloriously awkward wrestle with the bell into rack position), did a few two bell c&p singles into front rack carries (fun movement – could be a metabolism revver), a couple burpees, a few one arm swings (for whatever reason these heavy are harder for me than a clean or snatch), a couple times I attempted and failed to make the two bell clean whether as a regular c&p, as a gorilla clean (alternating arms) turned one of those into a two arms anyhow attempt – basically played, and gassed way too quick.
However, I know all the work adds up, and I haven’t pushed kb or burpees hard.
Also, 40kg left, 32kg right is for a reason. I’m a righty – this is letting my left catch up…which = automatic extra c&p strength.
…..
Had two cookies before coming outside for this, otherwise hadn’t eaten besides at 3am.
Soon I’ll have a big eggs with meat meal.
I’m thinking 10 eggs, and more meat then last night.
Got some ham that needs eating, plus the usual breakfast sausage, and I still have those frozen chicken breast strips.
I think the kettlebell can serve as the entirety of strength training, that it can cover well enough all modalities – strongman, weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding.
It feels to be like a weights version of grappling strength, to a degree labor strength.
It, and eating lots of meat a surefire way to be an absolute beast.
…..
Ate a decent bit more cookies, had probably seven or eight of what was twelve eggs that I cooked with a decent bit of meat, ended the day (just before midnight) with a strict set of 35 pushups which took almost 30 seconds.
That, they felt euphoric for joint health related to the heavy kb press, but otherwise heavy and slow…only 35 reps in :30! I used to break 100 in a minute!
