Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone reading my journal!
The last week I haven't trained as I've been enjoying the holidays and had my girlfriends sister and family over from Brisbane so been busy entertaining/drinking. It's been good. I've got a couple of weeks break from work so been making the most of it. Probably put on about 2kg/5lbs from all the alcohol and food I've been enjoying, but there's always 2017 to get back into training and good habits.

Daym, i havent paid much attention to elections leadup .. hoping deep down the US would make the right choice but now it seems that wont happen .. what a shitshow
Yup, gotta keep at it! Looks like it does loosen things a lot, e.g. more than an extended stretching session at night, weird. Didn't do 2 previous mornings, did today.

1@140kg , ( +10 kg ) season best!
-Awesomeness. 140kg wasn't easy and wasn't pretty, but it wasn't an ugly grinder either, something in the middle, 3-4s with some back rounding. Maybe even happier with 120kg, it flew up in perfect form.

C2 ROWER ():
10 minutes , 1650m
Resistance level : 8
Style:HIIT , 30seconds ME , 90 seconds easy ( ~25spm )
Max pace i saw was at the end of the 4th of 5 sprints, 2m/500m, the others would max at around 2m10s/500m
C2 is funnnnn! Also was much less tiring than i expected. Being smoke-free is such a game-changer!
This 2m/500m max pace i got, if i could keep it steady i would do 2km in 8m , that is a WR time

Hey maybe that's a dumb question but sometimes I have a hard time distinguishing between pain due to muscle soreness (stiffness) and actual soft tissue, joint related pain. How do you that? ^^
nah not a dumb question.. i wish i had a good answer though :/
in general, i think soft tissue/joint related pain lingers around longer without getting better.. so there's that, at least. ie, calf soreness vs calf soreness + achilles pain. Calf soreness will go away, achilles pain will linger around longer. So unless we do something really crazy (like out of nowhere high rep heavy squats), soreness that doesn't go away for like 4+ days is probably a bad sign.
there's also the fact that muscle soreness can "disappear' after we warmup.. but joint issues/non-muscle tissue damage should still give us some signs that something isn't right. ie, after warming up really good, then going to squat, and our hip feels really achy.. and then we slowly try to work into it and get the pain to disappear - which it may or may not.. and then we just continue squatting. That's probably a bad idea -> body is telling us that there's a problem. Also calf soreness vs calf tear, soreness will disappear after warming up, the tear will keep telling you it's there.
so I guess pain after warming up is a pretty good indicator of a potentially worse problem.
I wonder if there's some other tricks like, "if you ice it for 15 minutes and it still hurts, it's a problem" .. hehe.
There's also the thing that happens in my brain, where: "I know it's bad, but I don't want to admit it to myself".. I guess that's a great sign of something being a tear/tendonitis/joint injury.. I know for a fact that I mostly get those thoughts when something bad is going on. Those conflicting thought processes are basically an alert.
i dno, i'll have to think more about it for sure.
pc!!
