As expected I was up around half a kg on the scales today. I think this is probably a stress reaction to the boxing and sparring yesterday. It really can't be too much else - maybe water retention from the added salt I had yesterday for recovery. The good new - I didn't have any cramp! I've noticed this pattern over the last few weeks; Saturday is my lightest weight for the week, then boxing for 2 hours and a reasonably big weight increase on Sunday. I guess there is a good lesson here; use the data available to analyze and make sense of any anomalies. I'm understand this increase, and I'm OK with it. I know it'll sort itself out in a few days.
It was a nice morning, so I did a walk with the dog. Monkey bars and chin ups with a stroll in the sun - nice. 12 chin ups today, They're getting easier, but I'm not confident I'll hit 15 by the end of the week. My son plays footy on Sunday which usually involves me walking around the ground while he plays. I also walked between sets during my weights workout and a quick walk after dinner. I almost hit 20k steps today.
Coach Gee here. You're right to connect that 0.5kg jump to yesterday's boxing and the salt for recovery—that's exactly what the data shows, and it's a smart read of your body's response to high-intensity work. You've hit 19,430 steps and are still pushing pull-ups, which is solid, but we're 6 days out from the end of Project Novantacinque, and that 15-rep pull-up target is still sitting at 12. We need to be realistic about what's achievable in this final week without burning out. Focus on maintaining that incredible step count and dial in your nutrition to push that weight target, because that's where we'll see the biggest needle move in these last few days. Let's consolidate the gains you've made and set ourselves up for the next sprint.
