June Week 1 of 5

Sun May 30

5:00am
Inclined Cardio Walk 1.2miles. 3.4-3.7mph@6% 20mins 129HR max 225kcal burned

Squats 315-405-495
Inclined Cardio Walk 1.2miles. 3.4-4.4mph@8% 20mins 140HR max 260kcal burned
Seated Shoulder Press Machine 140-155-170x3, 185x2
Row Machine 235-250-265x3, 280x2

* increased intensity of my inclined walking to 8% grade. plan was to 3.4 pace all the way to 1.13 miles. always a 20min workout. that would give me a good 245kcal burned number. was a good plan. got my heart rate to 125-130 quickly. got bored at the 15min mark and wanted to see if i can do the same 1.2mile distance. had to go all the way up to 4.4mph and hit 1.2miles. heart rate up to 140. it was not a good idea. il get tired doing it this fast. will stick to my original plan of 3.4 all the way to 20min. total mileage is ugly at 1.13 but kcal burned is a solid 245 number. the extra 15 kcal burned by going very fast on the last 2 mins is not a good tradeoff.

Inclined Cardio Walk 1.13miles. 3.4mph@8% 20mins 133HR max 245kcal burned

* skipped yesterday afternoon workout because i got tired from the inclined walking. was very strong this morning and had to problems doing an early squat routine.
* even this steady 3.4mph at 8% incline is tiring. i find it easier to walking at a faster pace with less incline. il give this 8% a couple of more workouts and see if i can adapt to it.

11:00am
Squats 315-405-495
Inclined Cardio Walk 1.33miles. 4mph@8% 20mins 150HR max 245kcal burned

* did a little cardio experiment after the squats. same total 245 kcal burned but used more speed instead of incline. it felt easier to me muscularly to finish the 20min routine but it gave my cardio a good beatdown. my heart rate was redlined at 150 and i was sweating and breathing hard. legs felt alright. resistance of the 6% is easy. i prefer this routine except for the massive sweating. it was a hot day so on a typical cold morning, my HR won't be this high. this is post squat also so starting hr was already in the 110+.  skipped the rest of the workout because my clothes got soaked. felt dirty being this sweaty

* doing the inclined walking at home now because this hot summer weather is getting me all soaked up. also walking barefoot for more freshness. 3.6mph for 20mins is a very good walking pace for fat loss.

* 8% incline is not a lot more effort from 6% in a 3.6mph pace. the extra 35kcal burned is worth the the effort. getting leaner faster with the extra cardio. been very consistent also with these for more than a week now.

* long gym story short - big powerlifting guy who asked to work in talked shit about the whip of the bar i was using. i did my 3 singles without rest. told him the bar is ok. new guy at gym had no idea what just happened.
* i guess a whippy bar is good for explosive paused squats that bends it at the get go. by the time i reach the sticking point, the unbending is helping it drive the weight up. lol. what a cheat. thats why i paid for a fancy eleiko bar.
* legs a bit on the consistent inclined walking. did more inclined with less speed and kept calories burned consistent. 3mph@8% feels easier to me.

* skipped the morning squats because i'm not very strong in the mornnings due to my caloric deficit. slowly leaning down to 208-212 again. first time i did cardio at the beginning of a workout and it took more than 5 mins to get my heart rate over 120. did not break the 130-135HR even at a few mins of 3.8mph. don't want to get too tired for my squats later.

* bw 208-210 slowly now. i've already removed the morning squat routine. my lunch squat now is starting to feel heavier too. calories in the low 2000s, with added calorie burned by my 20-60min/day inclined walking. i'm getting in the low teens BF now. will add a few more carbs before a 495 squat workout but still limit calories on other workouts.

* took cardio to another level and tried a 40min walk. noticeable difference post workout on my hamstrings. felt them almost near cramping when i sat down on the shoulder press machine. nothing a dedicated stretch can't fix.

* i like this routine. been doing same thing consistently. the walking pace depends on how well i feel. if i feel good, i do 3.4 for 2mins only and go 3.7-3.8 until im close to 1.15 miles, then slow down again to end at 1.2 miles at the 20min mark. if i'm sluggish, i do more 3.4 until the 10min mark and 3.6 until i catch up on the pace.  i have to be at the 0.9 mile mark by 17min to make it. 3.8+ is too fast and brings my heart rate pass 135. not good for what i'm doing this for - fat loss. target is 70% so ~ 125bpm

* bw steady now to near 210lb. been low on total volumes of other exercises and removed the leg isolations. doing too much with low-maintenance calories. don't want to feel tired and lethargic anymore. still doing light-medium weight cable upright rows and rows at home in my functional trainer. will lift better with more volumes later after this caloric surplus breakfast.

* right lower back tender. too much 295x3 rows in succession. its from the initial pull of the row machine to starting position. i had to use a staggered grip with left arm on the top handle and the right hand on the actual grips i will use. i cannot have both hands on the lower grips because i can't reach them.
* the 405 did not feel heavy but i can feel my lowerback strained. did more singles of 405 and each single made the weight feel lighter and lighter. light enough for me to get a comfortable 455. the 475+ could be a back breaker. save the 495 for later.

* skipped the 5am morning workout because i felt unrecovered from the high volumes of backoff from the last workout. did a 11am workout and my body is still fatigued. there is nothing strained or broken in my lowerback but i can feel the instability while i was warming up with the 405. too much time under tension on the shoulder pressing. i do the heavish triples with reset but went non-stop on the light-medium 10 reps. bad idea. had to rest more and get the 495 this afternoon.

* too much weight kills the form on leg extension very fast. the stack goes all the way to 295 like the seated row machine. i can't make it halfway within 3 workouts. i'm doing a hold at the top ROM and making sure that i get there every rep. will see if i get more newbie gains fast.

* im still doing very well with this combination of push/pull using the hoist machines. i cannot go heavier on the lat pulldown so il save it for last after i already tire my back with heavy horizontal rowing. the seated shoulder press eventually tires my back when i go too heavy too often so i save that last on the workout too and use medium weight/high reps.

* adding volumes of the horizontal pulling slowly. i damaged the skin on my hands doing very heavy reps for too long.  squats staying the same with no overshot to 545 anytime soon because i'm trying to lean down a little. tilapia fillets and white rice with some brown eggs in between when i feel very hungry.

* after doing plenty of reps on the close grip chest pressing, i felt the need to hit an area of the front delts using a regular grip. the parallel grip hits the triceps a lot more but still gives the front delts workout. the pronated just hits it from a different angle.
* getting very strong and comfortable already with the seated row machine. 295 is max and i stopped at 265 for now.

* i was solo at the gym 5am on a sunday. after the squats, i did a circuit style routine alternating push/pull using machines. they are right next to each other. sets of 10 with medium heavy weights. #18 is full stack. this is the roc-it series from hoist. love using these.

* weekend mornings are at 24hr fitness because its the only one open at 5am. the lunch is at crunch fitness because its a lot closer to my place. they have the same hoist machine so i did the same routine with more volumes. i still have to figure out how to move up on resistance on the lat pulldown without straining either my back or my legs. i'm getting pulled up with resistances in the stack 12+

* row machine already full stacked and still feel like a medium weight. had to use the other single arm row because this one goes all the way up to 130lb (260 on the selectorized plates). lower back is very fresh and strong so i went for a 495 backoff double. 3rd would be too much too soon. i'm only 210-212 with lowered carb for the past few days.

* didn't really plan on doing a 3rd workout but had an errand close to gym so spent 30mins to get my bare minimum workout in. felt very good. i don't know why coming from the same manufacturer - hoist, the seated row has so little resistance compared to the rest of the lineup. it still has the same 18 stack of plates but the 18 resistance on the seated row feels light relative to the other equipement. the lat pulldown feels the heaviest because i can't properly brace myself.
* added squat log of wife since i'm helping her get to a 185 top single. i think the quads start to form into a square once you reach the 2 plate mark. 1.5 plate can still be very feminine. shes been doing squats for a long time and even has better form than me because of better flexibility. shes just not lifting seriously because of lack of time.

* lowerback one more good sleep away from being completely strain free. its from the vertical pushing. very small form changes affects the strain on the back so fast. i'm already reseting between heaving singles. i'm focusing on the neutral arc of the back. not worth it to have a weakened lower back. a close grip chest press works almost the same thing so il just do that instead.

^ appreciate the thumbs up.

i'm not the type to do things for attention or approval of anybody, so no hard feelings if no one cares at all.  ;D

i do this for myself. i've lifted countless times on an empty gym at 3am.

* been on a slight caloric restriction and now beginning to feel a little weaker. lift numbers are the same but takes more effort now. i do not have enough energy for backoff sets anymore.  anything over 495 will crush me. dropped 4-8lb and at 210-212bw. i was 216-220 when i got the 545. that extra bodymass makes so much of a difference.

* yup, i strained my lowerback from this mornings very slow 3rd 190 rep on seated shoulder press. did 315-405 like routine but when i was about to eat air on the 495, i felt a whole body shock feeling then suddenly felt the loss of tightness in the lowerback. i tried 315 and yes, my back is shot. the rep was easy but the stabilizing muscles of my lowerback are severely weak. will probably skip the 495 later and hit it again tmrw. its not as bad as it sounds but i don't like feeling broken

* started going sets of 10s because im resting my lower back that i strained doing a very slow third rep on the shoulder press. been favoring 10s now because it makes me look bigger. the movement needs more concentration because the sets take longer with more time to screw up the supporting back muscles.

maybe its time to get interested in something else.

daily RVJ  :ninja:

too old. i'll probably train more for health and looks than strength. more inclined walking, more abs, more of the little movements. il have more energy on a workout if i was not squatting with this much intensity this often.
