Last night I dreamed I did 10 butterfly pull-ups in a row. It was the kind of thing you wake up from thinking it's real, feeling accomplished. So it was a bit of a let down to get into the gym and realize how difficult they are. Kipping comes easier now, after working on the swinging bar in "the Crypt." Butterfly and chest-to-bar, those are my new pull-up skills to work.
Yesterday: Off
Sleep last night: 5.5 hours or so, not really enough.
Workout today:
5 x 5 deadlift, 225#
Notes: I warmed up to this with two sets of 5 at 135 and 185#. What surprised me was how easy it is now to warm up to a weight that used to seem very heavy. My first set at 225# was broken for a second between reps 4 and 5 so I could readjust my grip; after that I used a half-reverse grip.
Then, I ran through one of the possible bodyweight workouts for the Hybrid Winter Challenge:
5 rds for time
7 clapping push-ups (chest to ground, then clap)
30 double unders
TIME: 4:35
Room to improve. Messed up double unders a few times, and had some muscle fatigue by the third round of push-ups. Knowing it's only 35 of them, I should crank right through if this comes up in the challenge.
Food today:
breakfast: coffee + cream, oats + butter
snack: lara bar (cherries + pecans)
lunch: salad with chicken breast and dressing, two fried eggs
snack: many almonds, piece of beef jerky, coffee with cream
dinner: a little turkey chili i was cooking for tomorrow, sweet potato with butter, Emergen-C
