December 2022 Flow – 12/21/22 – The Importance Of Barbell Play :

today I found out that I hit 25 subscribers a few days ago – I’d been wondering when that would happen

14×165 = PR tie, yet to hit 15 reps to my knowledge, a bit better pacing could’ve seen 17 reps

12/21/22
Yesterday dinner was 8oz steak, spiced with plenty of pepper and pink salt, a bunch of cranberry juice to drink, milk & oreos alongside – it all hit the spot.

Tonight’s dinner will be near identical.

I’ve got enough leftover, actually having cooked more than one dinner in the pan last night.

The body needs saturated fat, and the less processed the meat the better.

You want to eat steak fairly regularly, cooked to around medium (at most) – it’s just worth more to your body than ground beef in effect.

Ditto to bone in meat, which is how I tend to eat chicken – when you eat chicken eat “dirty” – the wings, drumsticks, leg quarters – dark meat requiring eating with your hands.

However, chicken prices are stupid right now, inflated more than beef – so splurge with steak, kielbasa, italian sausage, hot dogs.

It might be worth making big ole turkey legs for a similar dish – check the prices dude.

Splurge. With these prices:
Might as well make the cooking real simple, red meat and already fully cooked sausage variations meaning ~10 minutes to pan fry the night’s fatty protein source(s).

Hot dogs are better cooked in a pan after the steak.

Probably better to stick to kielbasa, though oddly hot dogs sit real well – have we as humans evolved to processing junk foods well – think about that.

The Importance Of Barbell Play :

I’m really liking this play period to start the session.

Thus far it’s looked like :

•left hand deadlift
•power snatch
•overhead squat or two
•right hand deadlift
•power snatch
•overhead squat or two

And I go through this a handful of times, enjoying it, and noticing that it primes me for the clean and press later in the session.

Other than noting the poundage used, I am not counting the rounds, nor if it’s exactly as written above.

I really like the idea of a 205+ one arm deadlift with each hand.

I view this routine listed above as something not to stress, but enjoy, with plenty of potential to be pushed far.

…..

obviously not me playing with handstands

I too played with handstands a little an hour or so after lifting.

Persistence & Tenacity
