2017 Plan
January
My plan is to finish this cycle of 5/3/1, take a couple of days off and then do a mock meet on the 16th of Jan to mark the anniversary of my injury. For the remaining 2 weeks of January my training will be unstructured - my priority will be deadlifts and getting back into kettlebell swings. Throughout January I will avoid all sugar, but my diet will otherwise be flexible.
February
In February I will move to the middle of nowhere and take my kettlebells with me. I will run Dan John’s 10,000 Swing routine with a 28kg kettlebell. This routine will be perfect for kickstarting my fat loss, improving my conditioning and working my posterior chain while I can’t get to a barbell. Having said that, any opportunity I get to deadlift I will take. In February I will switch to a full paleo diet.
Starting Pictures
Here is my extremely unflattering cold relaxed starting picture. This was taken on Friday morning at a fasted bodyweight of 98.1kg (216lbs).
