WHAT'S GOING ON?

Hey, this is about it for 2011.  Buh bye.

My training is going really well.  I've been focusing on the EDT workouts and working in some 2HP, axle, levering, and very light grippers.

One of my major goals right now is a physique goal.  Essentially I want to drop bodyfat.  Call it vain, but I want it so I'm going for it.  The EDT workouts are great for this.  I really tightened up my diet and that has made all the difference in the world.  No dairy, no sweets, no fruit, no gluten.  I've been eating this way for about a month now and have never felt better.  I started running again as well because I had a ton of pent up energy.

I also lost about 8 pounds during December!  Right now I'm down to 154-155lbs.  I can't remember the last time I was this light.  Probably in high school.  Abs are popping.

Meanwhile, all the lifts I'm training are improving.  Push ups and pull ups for example I've started adding weight and increasing density in the workouts.  My core workouts have made it possible to deadlift again.  That feels strong.    

I just got another 1HP block from FBBC and will rig that up with my wooden pinch block so I can start training pinch pull ups.  That's something I've wanted to do for a while.

2HP I have been training in gloves and really like that.  I can do more volume without the skin tearing.  I have not tested myself on the actual lift since the Fall Decathlon.  I hope to be pulling 180-190 in early 2012.

The 82.5kg class is going to be a fun place to be during 2012!  Looking forward to next year.  See you there.
