« on: July 02, 2013, 10:02:11 am »
slept fitfully last night and woke up early this morning with some absolutely heinous gas. seems to have died down somewhat but god damn, i'm glad i was the only one in the apartment. took advantage of the early wake-up to do about 35 minutes of SMR.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: very tired but otherwise okay
- SMR/mobilization for t-spine x 25 mins
still recovering a bit from the travel and sickness, and i did not get any kind of unpacking or cleaning done yesterday because i was asleep or out of it all day. so no gym tonight, but lots of chores and shit that very much needed doing.
back on the horse tomorrow for my first squats in three weeks!

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: everything, especially ITB
MENTAL STATE: sicker than i've been in a good while, 100.2 fever and vomiting and diarrhea since about halfway through my flight back from dubai
- no workout today, just trying to rehydrate and eat something eventually. so much for my modest weight loss, though.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: irritated, have not slept enough in days, the gym was so fucking small i literally couldn't jump rope except for single unders.
- jump rope x 5 mins
got fed up
- exercise bike x 15 mins
- stretch
just wanted to get the juices flowing a bit before the last 15-hour leg (13 on the plane plus immigration and customs and the cab ride home). time to pack up and head to DXB. it's been an absolutely incredible trip but i'm glad to be heading home.

« on: June 29, 2013, 01:11:30 pm »In a bowl:
6 boiled XL, eggs, mashed ( remove some yolks based on your cholesterol levels/diet balance, i remove 4 ).
2-3 slices of bread ( preferably whole grain ), chopped in little pieces.
200g of white cheese ( preferably lowfat ), chopped in little cubes.
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, raw
2-3 tablespoons of lemon
oregano, black pepper
Mix with a fork and then enjoy!
Easy, fast, delicious and very nutritious
what is wrong with you people. i'm gonna be sick. also lol at clarifying that the olive oil should be "raw." what's my alternative there? boil it first?

WEIGHT: 172.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none but generally stiff from 2.5 days of travel
MENTAL STATE: pretty good, very happy to be exercising
- warm up
- max effort SL pogo x 5,5,5
- superset x 2
-- paused bench 60kg x 10
-- low cable row 25(?) x 10
dunno what "25" setting is on the weight stack, but it wasn't kg. i started with 40 thinking that would be an appropriate amount of kg but i could barely move it. maybe i've just gotten a LOT weaker instead of a little weaker.
- superset x 2
-- avishek hop depth jump (AHDJ) x 3
-- slow suspended crunch x 15
gonna stretch some more in a bit. i've lost ~5 lbs on this trip but i think it's not all bad: abs are as or maybe even a little more cut than they've been. i haven't been sick at all and my diet's been good: lots of veggies and protein and not too many sweets. my flight home is at 5 AM tomorrow (in 7.5 hours); i have a 17-hour layover in dubai and then the 13-hour monster back to DC. i was thinking about going to see some souks or go dune buggying or something but i might just sleep, go to the mall/movies, and work out. we'll see.

« on: June 23, 2013, 01:00:57 pm »6/22/13 Saturday BW=158.2
squat 5x185, 2x225, 1x245, 6x225, 8x205, 8x205
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x145, 5x155
calf raise 140# 3x20
p90x abs
tried lifting with 2 1/2# plates under my heels, which feels much better.
I have been lifting in track flats, so maybe its time to invest in real lifting shoes?
fucking duh.

absolutely, you might just be able to operate at the same level of intensity or volume as normal. just make sure you get plenty of protein and some complex carbohydrates during the break fast. and lots of fluids.
there's actually a good amount of research on athletes fasting for ramadan. lots of papers here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=ramadan+exercise+training.
