welcome. this will be an interesting journal to watch. i think vag is right, with your reach and history i bet you get it back pretty quick with some dedicated time in the gym and a solid diet.

on the other hand, you're practically a senior citizen, so you never know. 

I don't understand what's wrong now.

Is the problem me taking sugar; this you are referring to carbs with whey

or taking whey as a post workout, that is should be taken before workout.

thanks

nothing is wrong.

your second and third sentences are not coherent. please rephrase.

lol yeah i was mad.

today:

BW = 174
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- DSVJ x 6

- DLRVJ x 6
way better than i expected, most around 32-32.5. nothing higher but that's not a disaster. hurray.

- MR half tuck x 10,10,10
going for more height than usual, so lower reps

- squat MSEM 315 x 6

- neutral chin up x 5,5,5

- dip x 5,5,5

- stretch

kept volume and intensity way down so as not to kill myself post-trip. could have been a lot worse. the squats were harder than they should have been, but that's okay.

revision of plans. my brother relapsed again tonight so i'm gonna get some quick SMR and stretching done at home and then go out and chill with my parents. rough.

ETA: calf was feeling better but i foam rollered anyway. feels much worse now. lower leg and foot feel weak/enervated. damn it.

did not get any workouts in the rest of the trip. back was still tender the day after the spasms and then the rest of the time was either too work-heavy or spent on the plane. got back this morning accompanied by dull pain in my right leg, from the upper gastroc/peroneus down to the arch of my foot. it's similar to pain i had briefly last week or maybe two weeks ago now. occurs to me that it might be related to a new pair of shoes i got.

i am going to crash really hard in about four hours, but will drag myself to the gym for, at the very least, a good amount of light cardio and SMR/stretching. will take tomorrow off work (plane got in at 6:20 this morning and i'm in the office now) and if i've managed to get a good night's sleep i'll start back in with the jumping and the squatting.

not working out for nearly a week really sucks.

ETA: checked out some charts and i think the origin of the pain might be up in my glute minimus. the pain is concentrated around the lower red area in the third drawing from the left, below (lateral aspect of the gastroc). if the pain is causing a trigger point there, that would explain the further spread of the pain down the outside of my leg and into my foot. would also explain odd feeling of weakness in right hamstring. will attack today with ball/roller and see what i can do.

do you always 180 when you jump?

god, i fucking hate this country sometimes. any civilized country should enable all its citizens to access medical care regardless of cost. sorry, man, that's a shitty situation to be in. i've never been without insurance (went from full time student straight into full time work...knock wood) so i don't know what to tell you.
