Mental fog is heavy but im keen to get thru today and punch in the clock. While running my heart rate went crazy, hovered over 160bmp and got up to a max of 214!! so idk, either im really unfit or theres measurement error or both.

Of course your HR would have nothing to do with the PSMF I guess  :ninja:

I don't want to sound like a prick and half the time I'm not sure I even know what I'm doing but seriously mate, you start a no carb/no fat diet, have a shitty workout and then go and smash some maccas to make yourself feel better. Because #recovery. Stop thinking in terms of 10 day cuts and mini cuts and mini bulks and whatever else. It's so frustrating to sit here and see you spin your wheels. You say you're unathletic/obese but I call bullshit. You've got great ability, dedication, super long arms and when you train and eat in a sane fashion you get great strength gains too. Fix your relationship with food first and everything else will take care of itself.

(yes I realise this is a case of pot/kettle given how I train but fuck me it's so frustrating to see someone else do it)

this morning

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: normal morning upper back/neck tightness
MENTAL STATE: good

- yoga x 50 mins
friend slept over and we'd agreed the night before to get up a bit early and do some yoga before work. felt awesome. i'm not going to be able to do 50 minutes every morning but if i can cobble together a 15-minute yoga/calisthenics routine out of the work we did this morning i'll be a happy camper. opening the neck and upper back alone was worth it.

cool, good reminder to do something in the morning after waking up. i don't know that i'll ever be a morning training person, but just 10-15 minutes of dynamic stretching makes a difference throughout the day.

even short courses can have negative health effects, not least on your mood. and if you're already in a bad place, is it really worth the risk of exacerbating that? risking a deeper trough than you're in right now?

don't take them now. if you're going to take them, wait until you're feeling good and stable.

I reckon you can definitely pull pretty well with those kroc row/trap DL numbers! It just take you time to develop muscular endurance. When I was training with the sprint squad we'd do a fitness circuit 2x/week doing 3xF pullups along with other stuff. I went from your level (7-8/set) to doing 14-16 per set in a couple of month and a max of 23 after a full season; you'll do the same if not better.

eh, maybe, but it's relative. bench and squat just go up faster/easier than DL or pull ups. maybe i just like them more. anyway i kind of like trap bar DL, if my knee is going to keep being annoying i might work it in 1-2x/week.

ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
SORENESS: hamstrings
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- pull up x 8,8,8
frustrated that i'm not getting better at these faster. oh well, keep at it. i think, not for the first time, that i'm just built for pushing rather than pulling.

- bench 77.5 x 8,8,8
wrecked these. there was a kind of jacked bro working in with me doing set of 5 partial reps @80 with ugly/twisted form and i got competitive. he was mirin.

- kroc row 36 x 16L, 18R
back was tweaking a little from the rotation. careful.

- TTB x 10,10
straps

- trap bar DL 150 x 1; 180 x 0
there was a dude repping out 180s and i miscounted the weight, was curious whether i could pull it. 150 went up pretty strong but 180 didn't even break the floor. obviously. that would have been a massive lifetime PR. counting is hard  ::)

- superset x 2
-- DB curl 10s x 10
-- DB shrug 36s x 10
-- tricep pressdown 45 x 10

- stretch

knee still a little sensitive so resting. could have squatted today and been fine.

also i lost my jump rope. damn it.

Thought on Pelicans acquiring DMC via trade??

curious how they'll make the twin towers thing work, boogie and davis could complement or clog each other. interesting challenge for the coaches in NO.

sacramento isn't getting much but maybe it's as good as they could have gotten for an unhappy star who'd wanted to move for a long time. tbh i haven't followed closely enough this year to know how stacked the draft is, so not sure how much value the kings are likely to get out of that pick.

health risks not worth it. you're stronger and leaner than ~99.99% of the population, what good would roids do for you?
