Day 16 - 17

Everyone in Japan enjoying GW?  I certainly do!  I am not in the usual Sunday evening blueness caz I am taking a day off tomorrow.  haha

Started seeing some changes in my figure (as wife pointed out), so it is definitely giving me more motivation to be on this program.  In day 17th exercise, we have new set of activity which is the true pull-up.  I couldn't even finish one rep....  am I the only one who is struggling with my own mass?  With Rat Pull machine, I am usually doing 45-50kg..  my weight is about 77kg so yes I am trying to pull more than what I usually do..  but ZERO success..  man..  felt beat down and defeated..  by the time I graduate from PCP, I hope I will be able to pull myself at least once or twice.

My food these days:  my favorite chicken breast fillet with veggies salad.  I become a bit creative in the dressing.  I mix up my paste (with lots of garlic, ginger and all kinds of spices), with lemon juice and chili powder.  chili powder definitely adds some kicks to the taste. 

I am off to see my grandpa in the country yard in Kochi.  Will enjoy the primitive life surrounded by pure nature for a few days!

Enjoy the rest of GW everyone!

  1. It's still okay to do the incline pull-ups, and if you're more successful at those, it will still strengthen your back to the point of being able to do the full ones over time.

  2. The pull-ups will come with time Keita, glad you're seeing some results, they'll come faster and faster as we go on here.

  3. Keita, I don't think all the PCPers can do all (any) of the full pull-ups. http://thepeakconditionproject-billy.blogspot.com/

    I am having a near impossible time as well. More we keep trying, though, should come eventually.

    This may help the motivation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znQN3oI5oPg
