Cowboy's Switch the Darkside

[Btcowboy]

Haven’t seen black bands...what’s the weight on those?

Think mine are as follows
Red 35lbs
Black 75lbs
Purple 100lbs
Green 135lbs..

I am pretty positive on the red and blacks not the purple and green

Probably should have, just want to hit 205lbs before Meet prep.... figure if I can hit it before Feb 28 then I can coast the last week or 2 on diet and cardio before 13 week prep....After this next week I should have a good idea on diet and cardio and be able to make some adjustments

 

[Btcowboy]

New A7 singlet showed up with some A7 deadlift socks...gonna take some getting used to lol.... question on the undershirt rules say, no reinforced collar or seams, and no seams in a position that may assist. All my shirts have a seam across the shoulders, even A7 meet shirt does as well. This said what will work for a shirt?

 

[Worf]

Those bar grip shirts are USAPL and USPA approved , should be the same up there

[Btcowboy]

Also add the little injuries keep piling up lol.. A Ganglion Cyst bottom of left wrist under my thumb. Painful as shit, keep pressing on it hard and heat to get the fluid to go away so it quits hurting, a bit smaller today

 

[Worf]

Form looked good even with the deficit

 

[TheIncomparableMrHarrow]

Looks good. Didn’t know you use hook grip. Well, at least it looks that way. I tried it a couple times but it never worked for me.

Double overhand until I cant then to hook grip. Took me a while to deaden the nerves in my thumbs, and skin toughen up

Weight today is a piss off.
223 exact same as last week.
I am eating 2400 cals (500 cal deficit) and probably a bit less as I have skipped a meal here and there. Cardio has been every morning 30 mins fasted, some stairs, firefighting calls and training, amd my normal 4 day a week weight training. I don't understand why, even a mix up on calorie calculations the added cardio should account for a loss.

I guess cut calories some more, and add some more cardio. Its funny had a thought after lifting yesterday, while tired my numbers on my lifts really didnt drop much

Keep it static another week. Sometimes it takes a week to get it moving. Happens to me then I decrease cals and end up loosing 3 lbs the next week
