Update time
Foot injury and training
Since I injured my left foot, I had only 1 training. In the meanwhile some heavy family stuff going on so I decided to stop/pause training sessions with my Sensei in Crossfit temple but rather to motivate myself to work out at home. I have always wanted to reach a point of training without any weights and just doing body weight exercises. With proper nutrition aka calorie deficit and right ratio of macro nutrients, I will reach physique that will be phenomenal.
So heavy training with Sensei is off, training at home will be on. Expecting to get from Sensei 20ish in home trainings from which I will then create extra variation + include pull up program 3 times per week.
Another reason for deciding to do this is to stay at home more and grind. When I am out to train and then coffee place, on average every week I leak about 22 hours to those activities. Staying home and working out 3x week will take me 3 hours tops and then omitting coffee place all together will save me even more time. So that is 19 extra hours per week that I can use at home to prepare meals and regenerate between grinding. I have a lovely balcony which I use a lot, has amazing view and I love to sit there regenerate, drink coffee chill. So I will use it every day with new time management.
Stopping with 5 a.m club
I did over 100 days with 5 a.m club and it was amazing for my mourning routine, nutrition, energy levels through out the day. I however decided to stop it because I cashed out BR from Poker Stars and now need to adjust to new schedule for grinding.
I still wake up by habit at 5 a.m every day but I add 2 more hours of sleep to it to have extra 2 hours by the end of the day for grinding. That is the idea anyways.
Poker
As I said, BR is moved from Poker Stars and testing phase is still going on. Right now my results are looking very good, way better then on Stars actually - but sample is too small to be sure, it could be positive variance. I will have more on this by the end of September when sample will be more complete.
I can say that right now, this feels like a PERFECT move and timing because I feel my 1) hourly is higher vs playing on Stars (which is most important factor when it comes to making money!) 2) Stars despite killing RB from 28% to 5% or less, introduced that ridiculous format which will take even more recreational players from Spins. So the only downside is that I have to grind different times and basically find my new grind schedule. It is something that I am struggling the most and in ideal world I would like to do 2 sessions early morning (7-9:30 for example) and 3 in the afternoon (after 2pm until 9pm to fit). Reality is that traffic is better everywhere after 4-5pm when people come home from work, so that may dictate my grind to 5 sessions from 5pm on which with brakes means I will hit the bed at midnight or so (assuming I grind without longer brake).
So yeah, this feels excellent, I won't get into number but like I mentioned I expect my hourly to be higher then on 30$ Stars 3 tabling with 28% RB or 4 tabling 15$ on Stars. I may post a graph after some games but I would rather focus on posting how many hours I grind each week because for me this is the biggest struggle right now.
Nutrition
I decided to eat at home, in line with grinding more and working out at home. So my plan is to get food scale which is very practical to weight certain meat and ingredients for portion sizes. I will get it tomorrow after that private clinic visit.
Foods that I will eat will be protein rich/heavy like eggs, chicken, fish/tuna along with salads made of tomato mostly with added fruits and vegetables but limited portions due to sugar inside those fruits. Expect with this nutrition and cutting out ice cream which is my major -EV move for weight/body fat loss, I will reach my goal within weeks.
That is all for this update. I will update next time when I know results for my foot and course of treatment, in the meanwhile work work work or grind grind grind - going for 30 hours of grind per week to set as steady habit (6 days x 5 sessions).
Enjoy your August on and off the tables!
