57 sitting at my desk, just got back from dropping a deuce though so might be high.

measured in bed this morning at 46 bpm.

Wow, that's crazy man. They should really try to do something to fix that.

IS IT KANYE'S, KIM?!?!?!? THE WORLD WANTS TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dutch Swedish Danish sounds like English spoken backwards.

What the hell are they doing in Copenhagen, then?

MotherFUCKER, I swear to god I actually do know where Copenhagen is.

I've been having pretty bad dorsal foot pain (left foot) for the past week or so. The pain only comes when I wear shoes; the only shoes I have are 3 pairs of Nike Frees; one of the pairs has "Superfeet" (orange colored) insoles, and the others do not have any inserted insoles. Do you guys have suggestions of rehab exercises or shoe/insole recommendations?

Also, it's pretty important for me that I get a chance to walk multiple miles regularly because I'm only able to shit right after a long walk accompanied by coffee.

I don't think that's good.

Didn't get a chance to post last night. FIRST DAY OF ADARQ PLAN NUMBA ONE.

s1: volume-strength
- RATING (7/10)
soreness in abs, pecs and lats, felt a bit flat overall but not bad

- warmup

- ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
30-31, not great but not worried about it given how high I was getting on Sunday

- MR double leg bounds: 5 x 5
Forgot to do these.

- SQUAT: 3 x 3
255, 255, 255

-SQUAT 3x8
225, 225, 225 == harder than expected

- UPPER (SS)
OHP: 3x5
110, 110, 110 == easier than expected
DB row: 3x8
50, 50, 50 == likewise

- UNILATERAL: 3 x 3e (BSS)
135, 135, 135

- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?)
N

- STRETCH
Not well enough but was crunched for time at the end. Stretched later.

First day wearing new Do-Wins. It's gonna be an adjustment, feels really different than barefoot on plates. Not as good, honestly, which was disappointing. The shoes also make my feet want to pronate, which I'm not sure is good. Maybe I'm just not used to them yet.

Abstract

CONTEXT: Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) describes muscle pain and tenderness that typically develop several hours postexercise and consist of predominantly eccentric muscle actions, especially if the exercise is unfamiliar. Although DOMS is likely a symptom of eccentric-exercise-induced muscle damage, it does not necessarily reflect muscle damage. Some prophylactic or therapeutic modalities may be effective only for alleviating DOMS, whereas others may enhance recovery of muscle function without affecting DOMS.

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that massage applied after eccentric exercise would effectively alleviate DOMS without affecting muscle function.

DESIGN: We used an arm-to-arm comparison model with 2 independent variables (control and massage) and 6 dependent variables (maximal isometric and isokinetic voluntary strength, range of motion, upper arm circumference, plasma creatine kinase activity, and muscle soreness). A 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance and paired t tests were used to examine differences in changes of the dependent variable over time (before, immediately and 30 minutes after exercise, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days postexercise) between control and massage conditions.

SETTING: University laboratory.

PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Ten healthy subjects (5 men and 5 women) with no history of upper arm injury and no experience in resistance training.

INTERVENTION(S): Subjects performed 10 sets of 6 maximal isokinetic (90 degrees x s(-1)) eccentric actions of the elbow flexors with each arm on a dynamometer, separated by 2 weeks. One arm received 10 minutes of massage 3 hours after eccentric exercise; the contralateral arm received no treatment.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Maximal voluntary isometric and isokinetic elbow flexor strength, range of motion, upper arm circumference, plasma creatine kinase activity, and muscle soreness.

RESULTS: Delayed-onset muscle soreness was significantly less for the massage condition for peak soreness in extending the elbow joint and palpating the brachioradialis muscle (P < .05). Soreness while flexing the elbow joint (P = .07) and palpating the brachialis muscle (P = .06) was also less with massage. Massage treatment had significant effects on plasma creatine kinase activity, with a significantly lower peak value at 4 days postexercise (P < .05), and upper arm circumference, with a significantly smaller increase than the control at 3 and 4 days postexercise (P < .05). However, no significant effects of massage on recovery of muscle strength and ROM were evident.

CONCLUSIONS: Massage was effective in alleviating DOMS by approximately 30% and reducing swelling, but it had no effects on muscle function.
