Notes

Decent session. Week off was nice. Went for a few runs, did two very light lifting workouts, was a lot looser with diet etc. Good to be back, rested, and locked in.

Run - 36 min, 5.9km

Notes

Been bloated/weird-feelling last few days. This run wasn't too great either, tho mostly down to being super humid today I think.

Notes

That's the top weight this low row machine goes too. Only 6 reps, so plenty of room to grow, but fun to max something out.

Weight randomly spiked last couple of days. Realised I accidentally bought (a) salted peanut butter and (b) a brand of cereal with more salt than usual. Given quantity of those things that I am consuming lately, I guess I have the culprit. [and dw, i get my vegetables, omega 3s etc in abundance too, it's not just trash in my diet]

Notes

Switching from stationary bike to running has me needing like 3300 kcal. Replaed my oat-based meal to a huge bowl of cornflakes (lowest fibre cereal) topped with peanut butter.

Going to start doing a weekly round-up on main lifts, so I can compare them easily week-to-week. Just like the "best set" from the _main_ lifts for the week. If these lifts are progressing over time, then I'm happy.

Notes

Good workout.

Trying out SL leg presses. A few years ago when I went to a physio about hip pain from running/squatting, but in a period when I wasn't going to a gym that machines (i lifted at my climbing gym), they were a strong advocate for SL leg presses as a controlled setting for improving hip function/strength. Seems plausible. Related reason for me to add in the abductor/glute work – getting hips strong in all planes can't be bad if I want to run more.

The knee pad was removed (!?) from the adductor machine, so that was (a) uncomfortable and (b) meant the ROM/stretch was less than usual, so could lift a bit more weight.

BJJ instructor was leaving the gym as I was arriving, lol, but he seemingly did not recognise me, so an awkward interaction was avoided.
