[WotD] Friday (Part I)

[digitaldiscipline]

Today was the penultimate workout in the Velocity Diet plan; the only one left is the final V-Burn Challenge. When that's complete, we'll take a look back at (my modified version of) the program and see how things have gone overall.

Velocity Diet Workout #23
Total Reps per move = 45
Load = “Moderate” (8-9 RM)
45 sec rest between sets

- Deadlift - 285# - 9/9/9/7/7/7 (48 reps) - was supposed to be Sumo Deadlift, but as noted earlier, equipment dictates otherwise.
- Push Press - 2x36# Kettlebell - 15/15/10/10 (50 reps) - Probably a scosh too little weight here, which was made up for with the next move....
- Pull-Ups (Neutral/Parallel Grip) - 36# Kettlebell - 10/5/5/5/6/5/5/5 (46 reps)
- Hand Walk-Out (from toes) - 15/10/10/10

One other change is that I'm now "lifting raw," without gloves or anything else; on the advice of a strong friend, this should help develop my grip and alleviate the shortcomings some moves have had due to that as it improves. To which I can say: Y HELO DERE CALLOUSES.

glad to hear you ditched the gloves - they never worked for me that well anyway, most gloves for small female hands are a joke anyhow. Get some chalk and a pumice stone for at home, and you'll be fine. Its funny though, sometimes people freak when they shake my hand, and can feel the calluses still... surprise!!!

Can't do chalk at the office, but might go the pumice route at the house (and, if i end up setting up a weight rack at home, i can do chalk there at that point).

i honestly didn't have any problems with the gloves, other than the fact that i bought cheap-ass ones that i'd destroy in six months.
