Only a 20 minute row yesterday and lots of calories, today I rowed, ran, and surfed. Lots of calories again. I hope everyone had a magnificent Christmas.

I had the same day.

20 Min Ocean Swim

Fried eggs, mango sticky rice, steamed fish, lobster, absolutely no vaggies, blah blah blah LOL

Life is good! Happy Holidays to everyone!
 
Wish I could get fit. Gained 30 pounds (what a gut!) after new medication was prescribed. But due to hip pain from spondylolithesis, can't do much exercising other than 30 minutes every other day or so.

At least now I know why kenalog injections proved ineffective. Live and learn, right?

Wow Sharky, 4 sets of 20 pullups! Impressive!

How long does it take to recover before the next set?
 
Paddled from the harbor to natural bridges today. Don’t know how far that is but the boat felt amazing and I got to call. We smoked the other three boats.

Generally 60-90 seconds.
I wasnt really keeping track. This day i was waiting to feel recovered before i started another set. I normally do my first set to failure and less reps on subsequent sets. I am a little weaker than i was because of my hand surgery and my failure is around 25-27 depending on the day.

My normal rep range is 25; 15-17; 12; 10; 10. If i go hog wild on set one, my later sets suffer. I was seeing where the sweet spot is. Pullups are more endurance in the end when you get the higher reps.

I have been experimenting with lifting straps and extra wide grip to target more back instead of bicep. Those reps were without straps and normal width which is more of an arm exercise for me.

How about some music for lifting? I usually stick to the same playlist for months but I need to add some songs as I’ve been working out a lot lately. Here’s a sample from my playlist.

Mind Riot, Rusty Cage - Soundgarden
Make America Hate Again - Thy Art Is Murder
Heatseeker, Hard As A Rock - AC/DC
Hey Man Nice Shot - Filter
Glaciers of Ice - Raekwon
Only, Capital G - NIN
Absolute Power - Parkway Drive
Linkin Park - Hit The Floor
 
Playlist: Type O Negative, Project Pitchfork, Pelican.

Today I get an X on my calendar. No exercise. None. Zippo. Ziltch.

10oz protein shake
1 cup cheese tortellini
5oz Modella salami
1/2 dozen of mom’s Christmas cookies
1 big ass bowl of mom’s lamb chili
5 pieces mom's cornbread
1/2 gallon 1% milk

Day 5 in Phuket. I took a couple of days off, which helped my bicep tendon soreness. I packed my lacrosse ball so I’ve been cross-fiber massaging that SOB.

Did something dubbed Lapikov's walk.. Basically get in the front squat position and walk across the gym and drop the bar on the rack on the other side. 10 or 12 ft.

Problem was, I was the tallest girl in the group i was in so I had to lift it from the rack a bit more than the other girls. But we maxed out at 265lbs.
 
DANG, KIM THE POWERLIFETER.

20 minute row
30 minute weighted run 40lbs and 270ft elevation
20 minute row

2 Larabars
1 egg white protein bar
1/2 cup ground turkey
1/2 bag Beanfield's bean chips
20oz protein shake
10oz kale and spinach

Dialing down the calories and dialing up the cardio. Might weight train tomorrow but it's supposed to be double-overhead here tomorrow so I might spend the morning in the water.

Deadlift tonight
10 sets.
 
Last full day in Phuket. Damn it.

But it’s probably a good thing as my workouts are getting shorter and my diet is worsening LOL

WORKOUT

20 Min Ocean Swim at Tri Trang Beach*, Phuket (see pic below)

FOOD

• Turkish Chicken Wrap
• Chicken Curry, Fish Soup & Steamed Rice

*Tri Trang is my fave beach so far. For whatever reason, tourists don’t come here. There’s lots of shade. Clean beach and water. Keep it on the DL.
