Oh yeah good call, I would never leave a piggy lonely! Wonder if they would make friends with a tarantula… Always wanted a huge pet spider… I would snip his fangs of course…

Spiders aren’t that bad! I mean I’d flip my shit if I saw a tarantula in my house because they’re not native here, but we get to deal with brown-recluse instead. I’ll usually clean up their webs but let them settle back in and eat all the other damn bugs that make it in here.

Can definitely add weight for the pullups, sweet. Used a safety pin instead of a barbell in J-hooks for the dips - MUCH better! Going to keep them for the next cycle and go a little higher on the reps, see if I can feel it in my chest more than my abs.

Didn’t get any conditioning work or climbing in this weekend like I was supposed to. I did sleep quite a bit though, and it was great.

Going to be somewhat warm tomorrow (40’s woohoo!) so hopefully I can clear all the ice mounds and crap from my driveway before it drops below freezing again. Fun stuff winter is.

Tuesday morning weigh in: 171lbs

This is pretty baseline for me I think, considering I didn’t do much but relax and eat all weekend I thought I’d be up a pound or two.

Was not excited to hit this one tonight. Spent a chunk of the day chopping ice and shoveling, and not eating or drinking water. Made it through just fine at a good pace though, surprised my back wasn’t angrier at me. Last few reps of raises were cheat city.

C2/W1/Conditioning

Warmup:

Medball throws
Band shoulder dislocates

Jump rope:
9x50 quick jumps
Bunch of high knees - didn’t keep track of the number

Heavy bag:
Power drills - 5x60s
Endurance drills - 3x90s
Speed drills - 8x15on/15off
Footwork/accuracy - 12 mins

Decided I’d combine the footwork and accuracy stuff since it’s a pretty logical combo. These damn low ceilings really limit what I can do with the rope but I think I can work high knees in if I can get better at them.

C2/W1/Bench day 1

Warmup:

Hip/thoracic mobility
Jumps/throws

90x10
110x10
125x10

Landmine twist:

T-bar row:

BW tricep extension: (j-hooks at 17)

Good session overall. Raised the j-hooks a bit for the tri extensions so I could do more full-stretch (head under the bar) work. It was a good idea, movement felt way better and stress in the elbows was much lower.

Need more weight for those rows next time.

Dumping the straight bar dips. My setup as it stands just isn’t that great for them, will put in new push assistance work next session.
