bw- 88.6 (down again)

Rest day

Getting the new program sorted and will be doing a cardio/strength endurance based building block for 6 weeks. Not going to be lifting heavy at all which will be hard to do but should be a nice change up for the body. Wanted to get a cardio base and increase work capacity earlier in the year so pretty happy to finally bite the bullet and do it. See you in 6 weeks barbell.

Going to eat at or around maintenance during this time as no doubt the addition of cardio will do a lot for any calorie deficit I was planning.

Sorry Fam I been slack on the updates. My team has still only lost the 1 game all season and I've still been a slack bitch when it comes to going to the gym.

A youtube video of a try I scored a couple of weeks ago:

“The two combatants have for the past month lowered the bar for civility and eagerly swapped racist, misogynistic and gay slurs in desperate hopes of marketing their pay-per-view event. That they've leaned on hate and ignorance to sell their fight says a lot about them and none of it is good. What's it going to say about those who buy it?”

must redouble commitment to stretching.

Potentially the most repeated comment in my log that fails to be adhered to. It's a goal that just gets renewed like my car insurance policy without ever really using it.

yeah, it's funny: i went through a few years where i just decided that stretching and SMR were dumb and so i mobilized before workouts but never really stretched after. didn't seem to hurt me none. but after noticing the big change in my right wrist after just a couple of months of not-even-that-intensive stretching and movement, i'm back on the bandwagon. let's see how well i do.

i just finally quit stretching. forever. i finally gave up on the idea of stretching. I feel pretty good though, but I haven't been training hard consistently the last few months. i've had so many stretching related tweaks that I just decided, no mas.

:/

i don't believe you about "forever." you've certainly hurt yourself more stretching than anyone else i know -- a weird amount -- but i wonder if that's just because you need to find a better/healthier way for yourself to do it. your injuries often seem to come while you're trying to press and hold deeper/longer into a static stretch. the GMB approach i've found very healthy and helpful. it's gently dynamic and it's a lot to do with organization, e.g. using your quads and glutes to pull yourself into position for a deeper pancake, or using your bodyweight and back to pull yourself into a deeper posterior-shoulder stretch. ymmv.

have you read "stretch to win"?
