I realised today that last night in my posts I forgot to mention that I won't be kicking full in to gear for another week or two. Reasons for this are:
- Currently appear to have some inflammation or tendinitis (not profesionally diagnosed) in my left forearm. Certain types of gripping cause a bit of pain and am feeling some stiffness in the elbow at times as well. I've been trying to take fish oil, rest that hand and massage the flexors with a golf ball. Hopefully should come good by next week.
- I've just finished University exams. During that period I didn't train for about 2-3 weeks so I'm slightly out of whatever shape I was in. I'll ease back in to it, no rush.

Boxing Sparring
This was mainly just mucking around with mates, no real hard punches but the ticker was working.
Approx 5 x 1 minute rounds
- High bar felt pretty good today. Low bar felt like it was stretching my right shoulder a bit too much. Also, despite their ludicrous size (big) my quads are apparently proportionately weaker than my hamstrings. So I figure High bar can't hurt for a little while. Weights were all pretty easy on the legs, surprisingly tough on the abs.
- Press was pretty easy, just wanted to do something upper body that didn't involve any gripping.
- Boxing was good, got the swing of things a little bit better towards the last few rounds. When I do this properly I have no doubt I'm going to get fit/lose weight. It's hard...
- Diet was crap today. Binged on junk food. No reason, no excuses just a stupid decision which I'll avoid making again. Am thinking I'll try go back to paleo pretty soon, just requires a bit more prep and planning sometimes.
- I'll do some more mobility work again before bed.
