Surpassingly presses were better after pull-ups...I was usually doing it in the opposite order (first heavy presses, then medium pull-ups).

- presses L, 18kg: (1-2-3)x2, (1-2)x3

 
Friday - Monday: rest.

I felt pain in left forearm after Thursday training... muscle strain, I suppose. I am not happy because of it (I wanna test my pull-ups this week), but it is, what it is.

Tuesday:

- Super- Joints, mobility drills
- pull-ups, light (just checking what it will do with my forearm): (1-2-3-4)x3
- presses, 12kg: 5x5
- stretching

Thursday:

- Super Joints
- "Escape Your Fighting Stance"
- presses, 12kg: 5x5
- bodyweight pull-ups: 6 reps, with added weight (5kg): 3 reps. My actual bodyweight: 60kg (hmm, I've gained some weight, no surprise, that I feel "heavy" while hanging on the bar... :-D).

Honestly - I had better results a year ago, but good thing is that forearm is in better condition. I will take it easy till the end of the year and start my pull-ups and presses journey on January (probably with different program).

 
Last 3 weeks: OFF = complete restart of the system. I had an inflammation of the tendons in the left forearm. Right now it looks like I can load it… starting slowly.

My plan for next few weeks is:
  • to move
  • move often
  • play & enjoy the movement
  • feel good in my body
  • Whole 30 - I am in the middle of it, I gotta say that I have more energy and “a clear mind” without carbs.

I have officially finished Whole 30 today. I gotta say, that it wasn't my first or second Whole30... but this one was definitely the most challenging. I am glad that I was able to stay on track, despite traveling and some emotional distress (normally I would eat a lot of chocolate :).

I know that Whole 30 is not for everybody, but it definitely works for me. I shredded some body fat after winter (however that wasn't the reason I gone through it), and the most important thing = I am feeling good (and healthy!) in my body.
