9/15
30 min jog, low-moderate intensity

Met with ortho knee doc. Swelling is no big deal apparently and unless I have new symptoms, I don't need a follow-up MRI

awesome, that is great news.

Quote
9/16
2 hours frisbee golf w/ 3 discs ~200 throws
hill sprints knee
Chin ups 4x8, 1x5
10 mins stretching

9/17
2 hours pickup, moderate-high intensity: knee swelling same before+after which is really good.
1 hour walk
10 mins stretching

Didn't have a lot of homework this weekend so I'm actually kind of disappointed with the total workout volume because I had a lot of time. Depending on knee might try to get a good maintenance session 3pm after classes tomorrow + practice at 9pm, before which I might do some sprints and jumps. I also have practice Wed, Thurs

Activity: 12.5
Misc:
Diet Compliance: 14/14, 0/5, 9/9, 0/2, 4/4, 0/2, 14/14(PR)

Here we go. Heavy day! Last training session at 33 y/o.

SVJ PR!!! RVJ PR!!

BS 5x132.5(PR), 5x135(PR)

Hill Sprints 4(PR; +10kg vest), 4(unweighted)
BackXtn 12x60, 12x60, 10x60

Notes:
First session out of the way. I bailed on the 160kg at quarter squat position. My weaksauce quads just can't look out what my glutes and hips can bounce out. This is frustrating but i know now with the tarpbar filling the gap (training the portion of quarter squat from dead stop) i will FINALLY address this weakness. Anyway! Im gna go back for the 2nd sesh later tonight!

2nd session was dope. Killed every set i attempted. PR for daysssss. It still seems unbelieavable to me but the only exercise which causes my legs to fatigue or get a burn .. is ... freaking tarp bar DL. And im using such modest weights too. So maybe i got it wrong all along. To get stronger legs i needed to ...... DL .. all that time spent obsessing about my squat nevertheless left my legs weak. lol. So awesome to discover that after all this time. All along I hammered my strong point instead (glutes & hams) of my weak point(quads). Now we know. Having said that, i need way more reserve PC strength to make up for my shit build for squatting. So im gonna keep progressing EVERYTHANG .. but now also my weaknesses which i wasnt hitting before.

that is pretty much the definition of a "PR fest" .. was awesome scrolling down my IG feed and seeing "PR", then another "PR", then another "PR", and one more "PR".

 :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record:

and turns out, there's even more PR's, not video taped. lmfao.

happy birthday man.. keep riding this wave dude, straight up beast mode.

Happy birthday btw. May all your jumps match or exceed your age.

thanks! The tarp thing is from the old internet forum i cant remember which, either Power & Bulk or Irongarmx where they'd always mispell it. Never learned anything else from there tho

Haha ok cool. I just assumed you were updating from a phone and it was auto correcting.

i assumed he didn't know how it was spelled, but, i also had part of me that thought he was spelling it that way on purpose for fun .. kinda like how people spell "the" -> "teh" .. hah.

Just got the TENS machine for 45.99 from $70.... seems like a total pos but it gets the job done.....

Zapped my finger so bad too when i grabbed it on accident while it was on HIGH, still stinging right now lol.

^^ LMFAO'd. hah.

Adarq- yeah lots activity is good, I want to gain some strength while I cut. I don't feel doing just 3 x 10 reps at a light weight is adequate. I'd like to do 3 x 10-12 reps at a decent weight while I cut, like 255 or higher. I don't do upper body lifts at all, lol.

btw when I said nice and light, I didn't meant it as "light weight". just to clarify, I was speaking about 10RM. 10RM is still well within the range for strength gains, and even more so in the range of hypertrophy gain than say 5 RM. So you can definitely gain strength using 10RM's and it's easier psychologically/nervous system wise than lower rep ranges, when calories are fluctuating below baseline.

as for upper, i'd at least do some bodyweight upper: dips/pushups/pullups/chinups are more than enough for maintain/gain upper body mass, and improve upper body strength/explosiveness.

Lol at the NWO theory, very interesting.... I've definitely thought about all of that stuff. Today people are more dependent on the stuff that corporation offers: pharmaceuticals, processed foods, soda drinks, tobacco, etc etc.....

Entropy-- I don't know about ephedrine.... seems like it has some adverse health issues..... I just take some caffeine though and even that I tend to take too much some times. I used to take 200-400 mg a day when I got back to training, now I am at Kingfish level taking 600-800mg a day..... it's not good imo.....

8048
damn 20 dips, beast PR. you were wrecked the next two sets, understandably. <3 dips. I remember when I couldn't even do one, tried one at like age 24 or so and felt my chest break in half.

also ya, SVJ's before lifting, especially lower, are also just a great warmup for the lifts themselves.

Going the change up the workouts

3 full body days
A form of squat every day
2 weightlifting days/cf days
Long walks each day

nice. full body w/ moderate to high frequency is where it's at. also nice @ long walks. on occasion you can also throw some light runs in there, just when you feel good, get in a nice relaxed run of ~10-30s, throwing them in randomly.

btw you meant a form of squat every day on your full body days? or literally every day? I assumed the former.

Had that interview and it seems decent but idt the pay is there for me.

something I wrote to someone (cyclist) today:

12:53 <@irma> some research warns against 30's RHR ... but, I wonder if there's a difference in how it's achieved.. ie, achieving it by being very lean & light, with low/moderate cardio, versus: TONS AND TONS AND TONS OF CARDIO
12:54 <@irma> the former seems safer ... your heart just doesn't have to work as hard, not as much mass/tissue to pump blood to
12:54 <@irma> the latter is an adaptation to very high levels of cardiovascular work
12:56 <@irma> i mean you hear stories of some people requiring pace makers later on in life.. like alberto salazar
12:56 <@irma> but, i wonder if that's also partly due to drug use in addition to tons of mileage
12:57 <@irma> i don't want to need a pace maker later on in life, that's for sure

got some 39's in the data!!



46 avg over 22 minutes.

it's funny, a month or so ago, the "lowest" I got was 48's.. :ninja: :ibrunning:

 :personal-record: twins! I had some 38/39s while lying in bed this morning. Still very rarely get under 50 any time after getting out of bed.

haha nice!! :highfive:

interesting though .. so, if you get up and move around for a while, then go and sit down/relax, it's just consistently more elevated? I imagine it'll improve. My HR seems to drop back down if I sit down/relax. The only times i've measured RHR in bed, were manually but I never get a full reading, pulse does feel very low upon waking up. Though sometimes it's actually elevated. I've woken up, after more than enough sleep, with my pulse pretty high; almost as if my body is trying to get me to wakeup already.

Sounds like the beauty of having wrist based HR measurement. I have to go put on my chest strap lmfao.

Imagine walking around low 40's :ninja: probably feel ridiculously heathy.. lol.

peace!

ya he was fun to watch .. i disagree with the palming dunks though, I actually find them much uglier than non-palming/non-blatantly palmed dunks.

sore but body feels fueled up.


09/17/2017

bw = 151
- ate a ton / drank a ton of sprite, so very happy that this was my very-fueled-up-weight!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
soreness = quads slightly, hamstrings moderate, tibs/peroneals moderate
aches/injuries = none
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = stiff
feel = good but tired

wakeup = 9 AM
- slept in koz went to sleep late


diet:
- 9:30 AM: some coconut water
- 10 AM: workout: ~1 km repeats + bw
- 11:30 AM: water + protein, green tea
- 2 PM: 2 x one eyed jack's using (san francisco sour dough bread, large free-range brown eggs), overly sauteed avocado, black tea
-- so good
- 6 PM: water w/ lemon
- 7 PM: workout: speed
- 8:30 PM: water + protein
- 9:30 PM: 3 x fried bananas in olive oil/salt
-- so good

bruh.





stretch:
- 4:30 PM: everything



relaxed 1050m walk back recovery: 3:59, 3:46, 3:43
- 10 AM
- felt crazy fast .. fueling up last night contributed to that
- those last two intervals are ~5:4x pace

damn. hamstrings sore, but felt great. ate alot last night for the Canelo/GGG fight, so I was properly fueled this morning. These were "moderate efforts" but very relaxed. Last ~km could have been significantly faster, noticed my form was breaking down 3/4ths into the run then fixed it. Once I fixed it during the run, I kept looking at my watch and my pace improved immediately. That's good to know.

The form break down was, a "roll from heel to toe", which is more of a slower strike for me. Once I made some adjustments and got back to a "flat foot strike" (quicker GCT), I got faster & it felt more effortless.

Most of the runs i've been doing recently aren't "properly fueled". This is intended, as i'm trying to lean up to the max. So fueling up makes me feel ridiculously stronger.

Plus it's hot af out.. This workout is a good sign IMHO.



bw:
- 11 AM
- ng pullups: BW x 10 @ 8 + 2 dead hang
- full dips: BW x 10 @ 9 + 1 hang
- standing single leg raises: x 20
- standing single leg abductions: x 20



calves/tibs+peroneals/hamstrings sore/tight.



speed work: sidewalk speed - full recovery: ~320m (53.7), ~290m (48.7), ~240m (43.1), ~210m (36.7), 6 x ~177m (30.5, 30.7, 30.0, 28.8, 28.2, 26.4

felt pretty fast tonight!

everything with relaxed acceleration build up, except for the last ~175m where I hit 26.4s (~4:08 min/mi pace). All of the intervals were basically low 4 min/mi pace with running form not sprinting form (like usual), that was the goal. Keep hammering that pace so my body gets more used to it and can produce it more easily.

TBH, i'd like to be able to produce sub 4 min/mi paces easier. Almost seems mental.. like how is 4 min/mi the barrier for me, why not 3:50 or 3:55? Almost seems like my brain is playing tricks on me.









Going to try a new style of progress tracker: monthly, embedded into my journal posts. Obviously this should be something fancy/amazing by now but, will make do with this. Also, going to go "across" rather than down, so it all fits into one small block.

TBH, I really like this so far.. even though I only have a few data points thus far. :D
