I received an ankh for my birthday; I've wanted one since I was very young.

Lots of horeshitastic nonsense in January, I mean ta tells ya!

But rather than get into all of that, suffice to say I’ve been binging rather orgasmically. The only record I’m obliged to place at the moment, is Thursday’s workout.

Depletion workout on Monday, with a return to fasting as well.

Birthday Lifts

Deadlift

  1. 65lbs. x 5 (from hang; hook grip)
  2. 65lbs. x 5 (hang-hook)
  3. 95lbs. x 3 (hang-hook)
  4. 140lbs. x 2 (from floor; hook grip)
  5. 165lbs. x 5 (from floor; left hand under; increase next week)

Incline Bench

  4. 80lbs. x 2
  5. 90lbs. x 3 (stay-at next week)
  6. 80lbs. x 5

Hi-Low Twist

  1. 20lbs. x 5
  2. 30lbs. x 5
  3. 40lbs. x 3
  4. 50lbs. x 2
  5. 60lbs. x none! half-way, static hold (staying the weight)
  6. 50lbs. x 1 (keeping in mind the goal of the de-loaded sets is to get one more rep than the previous set…)

Weight: 161lbs.
Body Fat Percentage: 15.8%

Obviously, I didn’t make my birthday goal. My goal by the end of May is sub -9% body fat. Let’s get to it.
