Return From Hiatus

So, where's my lazy-ass been for the last three months? My last post date was 2014-03-30. That's March! Madness!

Following my broken tow which presented me with difficulty working out, having a less-than-perfect money situation (hence, no protein shake), and plateauing with my weight.

Basically, I was disillusioned and unhappy. Combine that with the fact that term was out, so no jitsu, and a broken toe stopped me from grading... I think I was understandably fed up, and procrastination looked so much better.

Also, my calorie-counting app decided to boot me, in the middle of trying to track a meal, so I just gave up on that.

Fast forward to now, I've been drinking 2x 300ml of milk every day, not scrupulously counting calories and generally just trying to eat more.

I have been planning, on and off, for sometime, to go down the gym and lift weights in an attempt to convince my body to use the protein I give it. Given that I didn't really have money for protein shake, I thought it would be unwise to "invest" in a gym membership and even more unwise to pay the huge fee to use the gym without a membership, so I gave that a miss. And that was when I went back to /r/bodyweightfitness.

Those guys have been assembling a wiki just full of body weight exercises for as long as I can remember, and doing it well. So, low and behold, upon my glorious return when I found that a member of said community had built fitloop.co. That shit is cash. One of the best put together sites that I've seen, and definitely the best that I've seen regarding strength building. If you have only one site for your fitness needs, I think you fitloop.co is a serious contender.

All in all, their intermediate routine took me just under an hour, excluding the parallel bar support practice. I don't have parallel bars.

So, my plan at this point is:

• Eat more. Especially milk and nuts.
• Fitloop.co intermediate workout, 3 times a week.
• Jitsu, 3 times a week
• FUCKIN' GRADE

I may not blog as much, mostly due to time constraints, but I'll try to keep a reasonable log.

Fitloop.co intermediate workout:

• Tuck Lever Row, 3x5
• Pseudo Planche Pushups 3x5
• Pull-Ups 2x5 1x2
• Box Headstand Push Up 3x5
• Deep Step-Up 3x5

Aside, I also read Tau Zero. I really liked it. Like a lot.
