Do more squats

While my neck has been feeling much better recently, my left hand is now in a splint. Whoop! Whoop! My doctors don't know yet what is wrong, but I have a knot under the skin in my left palm, that's sensitive to touch and causes tingling in my hand. They want me to rest it and take ibuprofen. They don't think it's a cyst, and the knot does not seem to be attached to a tendon. It also did not show up on X-rays. I guess, that's a good thing. But of course it limits even more what I can do at the gym. Can't grab or hold anything. Anyway, I went today, and we watch a bit of  the Games. Patrick Burke, the owner of MBS - the gym I go to now - finished 9th today in one of the Games WOD. Pretty good. I coined the term "Six Pat" since he is at the games for the sixth time! Pretty impressive. Let's see where he can finish. It's pretty cool to watch him compete.

So, at the gym today I did this:

Warm-up

100 air squats
100 alternating pistols

WOD:
3 Rounds of
about 250m 100# Sled pulls
20 alternating tire step ups
1.5 mile air dyne (use legs only)
1' plank hold
20/20 GHD

Measurements and Baseline


Baseline WOD


400m Run
40 Air Squats
30 Situps
20 Push-Ups
10 Pull-Ups

Time: 4 minutes 51 seconds

May 1 before working out, I had my measurements taken.

Weight: 142Ibs / 64.5kg

Chest: 35.5in / 90cm
Waist: 28.5in / 72.5cm
Hips: 38.5in / 98cm
Thigh: 21in / 53.5cm

BodyFat%: 18.8

So, I guess I should be setting a goal.
I want to improve in one month.
If I could do the WOD in 3 minutes, that would be great. I am better on 10min+ WODs but that's ok. I am already doing RX on most WODs though. inch-wise I think I can lose around the hips, possibly thigh and waist but I think my chest is not goign to get smaller, rather bigger. Similarly, I am barely in the athletic range for body fat, but 15% would be pretty awesome. Weight-wise I have no idea. But 135 would be great, yet, I really don't care about my weight.

I have no idea if any of these are realistic but let's say these are my goals:

Performance Time: 3 minutes (1minute 50 seconds)

Chest: 35in / 90cm (0.5in)
Waist: 25.5in / 65cm (3in)
Hips: 35in / 90cm (3.5in)
Thigh: 19in / 48.5cm (2in)

BodyFat%: 15

Weight: 135Ibs / 61.5kg
