opabiniaI fell off the LJ, and most of the planet, again. Gotta catch up.
Bleah. OK, so I hadn't lifted in nine or ten days. Not sure how that happened. The poundages are so low, I'm proceeding as though there had been no interruption.
Yesterday (Sunday), I shoveled snow. Then,
deadlift 2(5) @160lb
push-up 10
push-up +25lb 3(8)
I stopped the DEADLY FRIGGIN' IRON PALM thing for a few days, in order to recover from some bruises. Resumed on Saturday. My setup still needs some tweaking:
1) The pedestal wobbles just a hair every few strikes, because the floor is uneven.
2) The aquarium gravel I've been using has to go. It shatters into inhalable, skin-dessicating, dust-bowl-reenacting fines too easily, probably because it has relatively rough edges. (I went back to the canvas bag, because it lets more of the filler's irregular surface reach the hands, which is better for conditioning, according to Ultimate Iron Palm. The drawback is that powdered gravel can fly out with every hit.) I'll switch to a smoother substrate in a larger particle size.
