Title: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 08, 2010, 01:15:43 pm
 :strong:

k so took awhile off didnt feel like jumping or playing basketball.  Did a lot of powerlifting and bodybuilding, I have my old stats at tvs idk i tihnk it was 365x2 bench, 550 squat and 500 deadlift.

Are these my stats now? no but probably not far off.  I got into MMA again also so ive been doing a lot of endurance type training so i dont gas out plus to lose weight since i need to be at 200lbs by summertime

i warm up with

1000 count on jump roping
oly lifts
5 laps( 18 is a mile )
speed bag
bw movements (push up, chin ups tri dips)

today will be a "chest" day

Bench- 4x30
Decline DB press- 3x30 (80lbs dbs)
DB flys 3 or 4x10- 50lbs dbs

then ill cool off with a run or some more jump roping

i used to do 1 main lift and 3-5 other lifts since i used to add in tris so the workouts felt weird at first since  i didnt seem like i was doing a lot on paper till i started it

the BW movements i j do 1 set of each for like 5-10 depending on the exercise, it helps to loosen me up

thursday i took a break

today was a leg day, havent really hit legs hard in a long time due to grappling but im not grappling till sunday.

warm up with 135 and 225

315x8
365x5
135x30

then i went into just the leg press for a few sets of 10 at 400lbs
leg curl machine for 3x10 at 130-150lbs

lunges- 5 steps each leg 60lbs dbs

40lbs dbs single leg box squats

ended with some squat jumps and box jumps to get back into those.

at 238lbs i was getting a inch or 2 over the rim off 2 feet, prolly a bit more off 1 foot which is better than i figured



and yeah its a vivitar 910HD, its a cheap one but itll do, i just need to get a SD card for it which will be next week sometime or this weekend if the guy buys my cable crossover machine.

I feel like shit tho at 238lbs haha i need to get down asap

startin tomorrow, back on my chicken breast and tuna fish diet, when i was 220lbs i was dunking off 2 feet pretty good, so im pumped to see if i can get back down to 200lbs

but yeah mondays workout is a "chest" even tho i believe i am going to split it all up now and train for vert and explosive ass shit, which means ill have to dig up my old journals

pc man

DE squat i might stick with the west side method of 8x2 at 45-60% off a high box(18 inches)
DE bench i usually do the same but with 3 reps and i do 4 sets wide grip and 4 sets close with around 65%

If i don't do those then I usually just use a lil over my body weight and go until i can feel my speed significantly slow down(squats)

But i haven't really done speed training in awhile so ill have to play with it a bit, what would u suggest adarq

after the workout i weighed in at 234lbs so -11lbs (no shoes)

today i went in at around 830 or so to do my workout.

Started off with a warm up of some ball and some Olympic Lifts

hang snatchx3 (135lbs)
Hang cleanx5(135lbs)
BTN Jerkx5(135lbs)

went into Speed squats

135x10
185x4
225x4
315x3(weren't really speedy, pretty disappointing)

then some jump squats, alternating 95lbs, 45lbs, 95lbs, 45lbs, 95lbs, 45lbs
1 legged box squats(bw) just tried to do some speedy ones, prolly did 6 each leg
someother plyo shit, and machine work on hamstrings and quads.

went into the pool area and did jump roping, push upx10, side planks and plank for 20 seconds each, crunches etc etc.

ran a mile on 7.5mph with a 3 incline

heres a little video( i need a bi-pod thing) for the camera

cool man, nice vid, speed box squats looked fast, even though I hate them and would never advocate them.. i prefer REA squats, jump squats, and heavier speed squats OFF PINS with a 3-5 second pause.

peace

yeah i did jump squats, just the angle was to low so u could just see my ass and down, figured itd be awkward to put in lol

and ill do the overspeed REA squats next time to try them out kinda seems like its a awkward movement( with the lil hop while your going down)

Title: Re: at it...again ugh
Post by: John Stamos on November 23, 2010, 08:15:18 am
as far as today i weighed in the same, prolly 233 without shoes after a bowl of hunny bunches of oats (3/4 cup, and 1/2 a cup of milk) and i had to take a dump but yeah 233 its still being.  what helped me was i counted calories just for breakfast and i was pretty shocked to see how much i was really eating.

anyway, heres what i did at 7:30am this mornin

Rep Upperbody day

bench- 135lbs 3x40
Incline DB press- 50lbs 3x40
military press- 135lbs 3x15
pull ups- idk like 3x3
Lat pulldown- 150lbs 3x25
curls/ extensions- 2x15

then i ran a mile on a incline of 3 at 6.5mph, last 10th of a mile i put it to 8, to easy of a run tho

later on today i might do a lil bit more Olympic lifts or maybe just save them for tomorrow and do some sort of circuit or more cardio

don't go too heavy starting out, just keep it to 30-40% of 1RM and focus on form, getting those feet off the ground while dropping into a half squat.. make sure you stay tight though.

hang clean- barx10
                   95lbsx10
                   135 3x3/ depth jumps 3x until vert dropped a lot
Jump squat/ REA squats- 3x8 roughly (65lbs, still getting used to the REA squats, form still sucks so not going heavy)

giant set of
weighted jumping split lunges or whatever 3x? prolly around 5
running 2ft jumps(3 steps or so) 3x3

Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: John Stamos on December 02, 2010, 10:59:44 am
today my cousin woke me up so went to the gym at 9ish.

did little shit since today was gonna be a day off but oh well.

jump rope- 2x100 count

pull ups( wide grip )- x5
            ( Medium Grip )-x6
            ( Close grip )- x10

push ups- 3x30

dips- 3x10

plate front raisex10 into "truck driver" or whatever u wanna call it

then tried to run a decent mile.

put it at 9.6mph which is like a 6:40 mile.  Felt good but my right glute started cramping up about 3 mins in so had to slow it down to 6.5mph for a lil bit, then just kept raising it for the last .15 miles i did it at 10.5mph soo overall it was a 7:16 mile at 235lbs which i cant really complain but if my ass didnt cramp up it woulda been a lot better.

tonight ill be working then at 7 ill be grappling for about an hour or so.

plan on going over some submissions and sweeps with them, then just have 1 group do a 4 min round and the other group go on the treadmills and keep switching back and forth

good stuff

yeah, it looked kinda awkward my senior year, i had to do the mile one time and i was 195lbs...pretty lean i might add haha and i was running against kids 130-140lbs, i beat 1 of them and i ran a 5:45-5:50...at least the girls didnt beat me


but yeah today i just worked out.

grappling last night was good and bad, i hate wrestlers and i hate grappling noobs cuz they get in 1 position and keep that position no matter what cuz they dont know what else to do.

but first 2 minute match- 30 seconds in he turned his back i got a rear naked choke
                            another 20 seconds or so later we restarted....got him in a knee bar.
                            last seconds of the round i got another choke

second 2 minute match- not a whole lot went on, he got offered a chance to wrestle with the olympic team back in the day so he just wrestled since he doesnt know jitsu, its hard doing stuff to dead weight pretty much


third 2 minute match- got the key lock in half guard, sweep into electric chair..tapped him out
                                   second submission, took his back...cowboy armbar
                                   last submission- wicked Gogoplata (normal gogoplata but move your free leg opposite side of opponents head, lock it in, u have gogoplata+armbar


Todays workout

bench- 135x6
            225x4

yeah, it looked kinda awkward my senior year, i had to do the mile one time and i was 195lbs...pretty lean i might add haha and i was running against kids 130-140lbs, i beat 1 of them and i ran a 5:45-5:50...at least the girls didnt beat me

nice

but yeah today i just worked out.

grappling last night was good and bad, i hate wrestlers and i hate grappling noobs cuz they get in 1 position and keep that position no matter what cuz they dont know what else to do.

but first 2 minute match- 30 seconds in he turned his back i got a rear naked choke
                            another 20 seconds or so later we restarted....got him in a knee bar.
                            last seconds of the round i got another choke

second 2 minute match- not a whole lot went on, he got offered a chance to wrestle with the olympic team back in the day so he just wrestled since he doesnt know jitsu, its hard doing stuff to dead weight pretty much


third 2 minute match- got the key lock in half guard, sweep into electric chair..tapped him out
                                   second submission, took his back...cowboy armbar
                                   last submission- wicked Gogoplata (normal gogoplata but move your free leg opposite side of opponents head, lock it in, u have gogoplata+armbar


you ever gonna naga or anything?

HOLY FUCK cardio blows

so today went in aaand

did 30 mins on the treadmill- hit 3 miles(1 minute walk in the beginning) ranged from 5.5-7.5 and at the end 10.5mph and 1 incline

      30 mins on the elliptical- idk these things take forever to get good distance i think it was maybe 2 miles

      30 mins on the bike- hit i think 4 miles or 5 miles not sure

      30 mins on the arch trainer- idk like over a mile a lil bit, this thing is weird as fuck

most boring 2 hours of my life


sweated my nut sack off, hopped on the scale in socks, shorts, and under armour shirt, and hit 232...which was where i was originally at but i had a fat ass feast due to thanksgiving and this past weekend.(mainly last friday n saturday)

what i had to eat


woke up at 8, got ready went to the gym around 9, did a leg workout went home.

1 bowl of Total cereal(1 serving) with 1 serving of milk before workout.  hour after workout i had a turky sandwhich, 2 thin slices, 2 pickles, serving of mustard and 2 slices of white bread.  stretched and watched the simpsons.  went to the gym, did my gay cardio session got back and had half a pork chop and 2 perogies (sp?) and hot chocolate with 2 lil scoops of ice cream and whip cream

Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: adarqui on December 08, 2010, 01:42:18 am

Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: John Stamos on December 08, 2010, 12:31:57 pm
yeah there were about 6 left but i only took 2, it was hard but had to do it...i like the 1s with sour cream n onion

anyway tho, today

had 1 egg, piece of toast, probably a lil over a serving of peanut butter and glass of milk

went to the gym.

rack cleans 135lbsx3x8
cleans-135lbsx3x6
hang snatch- 135lbsx3x5
power pulls- 135lbsx3x5

cardio time- set the incline on 3 and went for 10 mins, set it at 5.5 and last minute n a half went to 10.5 to make the mile
                   Bike- 50 mins, hit 11 miles, considering the effort i put in for the last 8 mins, i could have easily done way more than 11 miles

got on the scale.  No shirt, shorts, socks=231.4..........so equals -14lbs

after tonights workout i hope to get -16lbs, granted its the after workout weight but itll still be about 15lbs when i wake up in the morning hopefully

lunch- serving of total cereal and serving of milk, cream of wheat oatmeal crap...the kind that tastes bad with 2/3rds cup of milk.

later tonight ill have a tuna fish sandwich probs

Post by: John Stamos on December 09, 2010, 10:01:19 pm
ok so got the waffles in today

getting about 30"s in them today

which is roughly what i got with my BBall shoes, only thing is when i tested with my bball shoes i was fresh.

my legs now are so tired, especially my hamstrings and i think i even got up higher than in my bball shoes

i will do another test next monday, ill give my legs a rest on sunday and see where im really at.


other then that, today played half an hour of bball and ran another mile to break the shoes in
Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2010, 08:36:31 pm
all n all im around 231-233 which is normal for me to stall for a bit then i gotta break through it.

i just ordered purple wraath from controlled labs so that should help out, cant get it till xmas tho.


anyway today

woke up, went to the gym

did a leg day, speed shit

i dont remember the sets reps i did so ill just list off the exercises

REA squat
jump squats
weighted jump lunge things
sprints
depth drops
1 leg box squats


3 mile run


went home ate a salad

before work had 1 grilled cheese sandwhich

bought a 10th planet hoodie

went to the gym, vacuumed for 10 minutes got bored.

ran again- 30 minutes

started off at  6.5 mph, half way through went up to 7.5mph, last 4 minutes went up to 8mph

i managed to make it 3.5 miles this time

so im averaging over 6 miles a day of a cardio

i stopped the 2 hours a day and just went to 1.  the 2 hours was on elliptical n shit that didnt keep my heart rate up, i figured an hour of hard cardio on the treadmill is more sufficient

came home, made up 4 lil hamburgers, just cheese on them, nothing else

what i figure im gonna start doing is adarqs high frequency thing or whatever he did when he squatted like 21 times a month.

try it out, see how well it goes, since i kinda did it for a week when i first started deadlifts.

when i did it with deadlifts ( i didnt know people actually did it at the time, just dicked around)

day 1- max 315lbs
day 2- max 340lbs
day 3- max 365lbs
day 4- max 380lbs
day 4- max 405lbs

and ever since then, my deadlift hasnt really gone up to much cept the brief time it was at 500 but its nowhere near that anymore, but it never drops below 405lbs

cool man, that was good progress with DL, just remember, your "max" changes daily when squatting 21x/month, so, don't really try and push it when you feel like shit, though definitely get to that daily max triple etc, can hold back a little when you experience tons of fatigue.. for example, say you hit 405 x 3 on monday, well, 365 x 3 might be all you can do on tuesday etc, just don't force out grinder's.

           315x8(belt)
           365x3
           225(for speed)x2x4

then i did some depth drops/jumps

Max jumps(ill be timing them in a lil bit once they convert so i can see how much of an improvement im getting)

leg press, leg extension and leg curl machine

15 min run( ill be doing more later)

no breakfast either this morning

btw, high freq squat is pretty much JUST SQUATTING in terms of lifting, sprints/jumps/etc are used for the other aspects of training.. when high frequency squatting you just can't be expending too much energy on other exercises.. first week always sucks, 2nd week gets better.

yeah it sucks


but jumping in the waffles today

i got prolly a few inches over the rim im not rele sure it was a weird jump off 2 feet so if anything im up about 3"s from the time i rele wanted to get back into it

and probably 2 inches increase on my running vert

im almost dunking again without a oop, if i got a good oop i think i could throw down a weak one

but def 3 more inches and i should be able to throw down again, off 1 foot anyway, 2 feet is a different story

and to help speed those gains up i bought tropinol by Iforce, their new test booster.  i guess they do what Animal does and pick people from the forums to test it out.  they did their blood work n all that got their test levels before and after and some of them rose up 300% or so and estrogen levels dropped so hopefully its a good product that wont get banned for awhile

what i want to do if i can find anywhere cheap, i will get my blood work done for my testosterone and estrogen n all that and see where its at at the end of my tropinol cycle, i hope its already out and not on preorder

pigged out whatevs, i gotta shit a ton tho so im prolly weighing in around 233-234


this morning did an hour on the arc trainer on a interval setting, 15 seconds on 100 resistance 45 seconds on 35. 

it said i burned over 1000 calories, like 1029 and i put my weight as 150 because i usually dont care about setting it. whether or not its accurate i sweated balls.

later today will be a leg workout again and another hour of cardio on that thing

yesterday was a leg day

squats- 135x10
             225x10
             315x5
             365x3
             340x2x5(full squats)
quad felt weird, started tightening up and a weird sharp pain
             225x5(felt like nothing was on my back)

but this squat session felt the best so far, i was able to get narrower with better form and the weight didnt feel like much at all

leg press- 400lbsx3x10
leg curl
leg extension


today will be an upperbody day, itll prolly be chest tris n something else

Peace!
Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: John Stamos on January 01, 2011, 02:43:17 pm
well ive been modifying it to see how well i work with the training.

they want u to use their training plan etc but im not a fan of it

ill just go back to the basic BB program i used from frank mcgrath

except legs will be modified since my ankle is still fucked up.


Day 1: Chest
Incline Barbell Press: 4 sets x 12-6 reps
Flat Dumbbell Press: 4 sets x 12-8 reps
Incline Dumbbell Flyes: 3 sets x 12-8 reps
Dumbbell Pullovers: 3 sets x 12-10 reps
Cable Crossovers: 4 sets x 15-12 reps

Day 2: Back
Wide Grips Chins: 4 sets x 10 reps
Barbell Rows: 4 sets x 12-6 reps
T-Bar Rows: 4 sets x 12-8 reps
Underhand Grip Pulldowns: 3 sets x 12-10 reps

Day 3: Off

Day 4: Legs
Leg Extensions: 4 sets x 20 reps (warm-up)
Leg Press: 4 sets x 20-12 reps
Hack Squats: 4 sets x 15-10 reps
Lunges: 3 sets x 15-12 reps
Stiff-legged Deadlifts: 4 sets x 12-8 reps
Lying Leg Curls: 4 sets x 15-10 reps

Bent Rear Delt Lateral Raises: 4 sets x 12-10 reps
Hammer Strength Machine Press: 3 sets x 12-10 reps

Day 6: Arms
Barbell Curls: 4 sets x 12-6 reps
Alternating Dumbbell Curls: 4 sets x 12-8 reps
Preacher Machine Curls: 4 sets x 15-10 reps
Close Grip Bench Press: 4 sets x 15-8 reps
Skullcrushers: 4 sets x 12-8 reps
Pushdowns: 4 sets x 15-10 reps

Day 7: Off
______________

thats the jist of it, ill be modifying it a bit like

like ill take out incline BB press and put in reverse grip, add in a flat bench, take out db pullovers and superset the press n fly machine to burn out at the end.

for the back days ill throw in Kroc Rows, lat pull downs(normal wide grip), take out T bar row and throw in deadlifts

legs ill stress my legs out before with some leg pressing n stuff and hit normal squats instead of hack since i dont have a hack squat machine take deadlifts out of leg day



other then that, thats what i used before and it worked amazing along with my supps, i was a solid 225 at the end of it

Looking solid man. Never used such a split working mainly one muscle group per workout but might try it at some point. I'll also be training for appearance for a bit while rehabbing my knee... we'll see how far I get. And good luck with the bb.com contest. Would be sick if you win the grand price.  :headbang:

thanks, its pretty cool they give u the free workout and diet plan, alls u gotta do is get a before pic while holding a newspaper of that date then a after pic.

and yeah i like that type of plan more than doing a few muscles a day since you get to focus on each group more, and just watching the Iforce workout videos, learned a few tips on hitting rear delts more and hitting more on your upper n lower back/lats just by back positioning on pulldowns n stuff

            315x1
            225x10 (really slow hardening reps and down to 135

            135x10

Incline DB press- 80lbx4x10
Incline flyes-40x4x10
machine super set- pec deck/chest press 4x20

good workout i was pleased


but yeah if you ever decide on getting tropinol, youll get boners like a mofo and bust a nut like a volcano

now i am taking in 1120 calories roughly a day but i feel full n good, staying away from shit food

today im just gonna do another leg day since im not doing squats so i shouldnt be taxing my legs that hard

ill get a weight today but ill prolly be around the same

my back is breaking out from my test levels being so high from tropinol so i had to start tanning..gay as aids

but yeah i feel 100xs better now than at 245 so ill prolly feel even better at 210


 :ibsquatting:
Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: John Stamos on January 10, 2011, 10:14:59 am
Adding in cardio now that my foot is betterish.

today is chest

pre exhaustion method

cable flyes(at home)
Flyes- 70x4x?
bench- 205-224x4x10
In.DB press- 70x4x10
pec dec-4x10/chest press superset
maybe a band version of a fly

changed my diet up a bit, sticking with 4 pieces of tilapia instead of 5

Breakfast- special k- 1 serving
                 milk- 1/2 serving

lunch- 2 Tilapia
           tuna fish or special k

Supper- 2 tilapia
             salad
             special k

doesnt seem like a lot but its around 1200 calories

once i get to 200-210 ill up my calories a bit(protein wise for the most part) and up my cardio since cardio will be easier on my joints being 35-45bls lighter


supplements- Tropinol
                      oxyelite pro
                      Animal Cuts
                      Green tea

they are still working strong, back is breaking out in acne so a sign of my test levels being high since its been quite awhile since i hit puberty haha so have to go tanning too.

def feel a lot more focused and feel more anxious to go to the gym

overall just feel good


also i tried squats yesterday

i had to lift my heel up a little bit off the ground to do it, if its flat on the ground i feel the pain n stretch of my ligaments n shit on the inside of my ankle, which ik its shitty go on your toe but itll have to do, 225 felt like nothing tho for the 10 reps
Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: LBSS on January 10, 2011, 10:29:26 am
By lift your heel up, do you mean literally do the squat on your toes/balls of your feet? Cause that would be crazy with any kind of weight on your back. Try using five-pound plates or a thin board to elevate your heels.

Post by: John Stamos on January 10, 2011, 10:48:11 am
yeah i forgot bout using 1 but it was just like not even half an inch, it was just for 1 set to see how the ankle would do, no full squat workout or anything. but it mainly felt like i was using my right leg anyway haha it was weird

Still, you're just so much more unstable if your foot isn't totally grounded. Asymmetry weird too, any thoughts as to why that might be?

                      chicken salad on the second one........everything else the same
1 can of progresso reduced shit soup

Post by: John Stamos on January 21, 2011, 07:39:41 pm
ankle is still weird idk its been awhile oh well...

TRAININ WHEELS............ :ibsquatting:

Squats- Close stance with a 10lbs plate under my left heel(ankle thats fucked).  It threw me off balance a lil bit but not to bad i dealt with it.

135x10
225x8
315x6
365x4
315x5
225x8
135x?

still not what i used to be but now im not using my knee sleeves or anything just a belt on the 365 so in a few weeks I'll be back up to what i used to be at considering this is the second leg day ive done in a month

leg press(no breaks after the last 400 set)- 400x2x10
                                                                     350x10

leg curl- x10 reps each
        100lbs
        112lbs
        125lbs
        130 something

leg extension- 150x3x15

dbRDL- 3x10x80lbs

overall pretty good, back in the day i was doing 365x8-10 with knee sleeves on so hopefully in a month ill get back to doing that without them

Cardio- 500 calories burned

arc trainer for 20 minutes


today's total on calories is 1300 burned on the cardio according to the machine, of course its not exactly 1300 it could be more or less

breakfast- Half a chicken breast and 1/4 cup of white rice
mid snack- 1/4 piece of a sub
lunch- 1 chicken breast and 1/2 a cup of rice
dinner- same as breakfast but with the last 1/4 piece of sub i had left over

maintaining around 222lbs but my arms remain the same size as i get rid of fat n water etc etc, my triceps are growing quickly i noticed and my lats have developed fast again from the pull ups, chest remains the same, my trapz are getting back to what they were, and legs are 100x more defined now, just they are ghost white.

Ill do some measurements later on and compare to make sure im at least maintaining and not gaining bad size anywhere


but before the cardio this morning which was 40 mins on the arc trainer which burned 800 calories i did a quick giant set of

pullups-x10
pushupsx20
dipsx10

i like it to get the blood flowing, sometimes ill throw in a really light oly lift

yeah today in a bit ill try some jump roping and maybe a little bit of jogging, since the more i work my ankle the shittier it feels for a lil bit but the next day itll feel a bit better, i think maybe i broke something idk cuz the longest ive twisted an ankle for was like 3 days.

anyway yeah ill drop some sick shit, and the reason i want to be around 10%BF is justin harris said in his book that the body is most anabolic in that bf% 10-12b%

Leg day today at 330

I will try bucket squats today, start at 315 and just do as many sets of as many reps as i can, then drop to 285 do the same, 225, do the same, 185 do the same and 135 the same and have the trash can next to me, havent done these in a long time

PLUS it is my last day as a personal trainer!!! well a personal trainer working for a gym.  Its impossible to work for a gym run by old people and chicks.  So ill just be training a guy every saturday which works best for me.

leg press- 400x4x20

leg extension- 150x4x10
leg curl- 100x3x10


did abs earlier in the day

and i could do squats without the plate under my foot so some ankle improvement, couple more weeks then hopefully itll be 100% but after workout i was 220lbs, tomorrow since ive been eating whatever i want these last few days ill go back on a strict diet hoping it kick started my metabolism a bit.

ill do 2 more weeks of a bodybuilding routine and then switch to 4 weeks of west side just to change things up a bit and on my off days ill have a oly day and some work on muscles that odnt get hit during the west side days
Title: Re: Going Back Like Cadillacs On 4 Flats
Post by: John Stamos on January 29, 2011, 09:07:22 pm
I will be trying something for 4 weeks then a deload starting next saturday

saturday- chest shoulders tris
- Bench       - DB shoulder press          - pushdowns
- flyes         - Side delt raise (DB)         - reverse grip skull crusher
- DB press  -  BB front raise

sunday- back bis (normal routine)

monday legs (normal routine might just pick a weight and do 3x?)

tuesday Chest shoulders (1 tricep movement, possibly close grip bench)
-Reverse grip bench                 - BB overhead press
-incline BB press(or decline)     - upright row
-cable flyes                               - machine overhead press

friday back Bis  go light but use a 3-2-3 tempo, no deadlifts, switch it for Tbar row

- 340 calories

brown rice- 1/4 cup already cooked, idk how many calories so lets just say 100
Chops(Deer)- 5oz- 220 calories, 9.5g fat, 0 carb, 32.25 grams of protein
water
steak sauce- idk idt theres a lot of anything in it

320 calories+ 340- 660 calories so far

I will probably have a protein shake post workout- 195 calories, 25 g protein, etc etc ill prolly do 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water

660+195

855

1200-855= 345 calories for supper, so ill prolly do the rest of the chops i have and up the rice since theres only 3oz left of the chops

I will stick to this for 3 weeks and if i stall ill do a week of 1800-2000 calories then get back to 1200 again and do 45 minutes of cardio everyday ranging from arch trainer to maybe swimming

i have 54 more days to get to 190, at that weight for the BB contest online for the body transformation ill get epsom salt n shit and a few days before the contest ends for me ill pretend im doing a BB show and cut out water intake n shit to let my body dry out so i have a better chance of winning the 2500 or 25000 dollars

not 3 weeks out, a buddy of mine has a friend who does BB and he does a cutting period just cottage cheese and water and he cuts weight fast.

and in my diet i have veggies n some fruit but i dont write them down on here since i dont count any of their nutritional values into my totals like last night i had collard greens n spinach etc etc

btw i like this from Animal

To impose control on the unforgiving iron every time, refusing to bend to the will of the crushing weight, is a deadly serious undertaking and not one to be taken lightly. Be prepared to bring it every day as if your life depended on it… Or stay the fuck home.

Post by: John Stamos on February 16, 2011, 01:23:32 pm
not bad, been keeping the same weight, getting a bit leaner here n there but now i think im just carrying a lot of water weight again.

I was gonna update my journal last night but I'm taking Controlled labs Reduction AM/PM and within 10mins of taking the PM i was out.

But yeah keeping around 219, 216 after a garbage bag workout


sunday i did shoulders, worked up to 225 standing military press with a little bit of a dip, but for the most part it was kinda strict and other shit, im trying to hit my shoulders twice a week so ill do them again on thursday, and im taking friday off and doing my birthday leg day at another gym on saturday.

Lats are coming along nicely, ill try to post up a recent pic soon.

Monday did chest, haven't gone heavy in awhile but just worked up to 300 and stopped, it felt like it was a 80% of 1rm weight.

decline db- 100x3x10
flyes- 50x3x10
push ups with 45 on my back for 3x20
cable flyes


yesterday was back- wasnt feeling it but took my AM shot prior to the workout so it gave me a bit of energy.

225x2x15
300x2x2(speed reps)

Tbar row- worked up to 3 plates using a 3-2-3 tempo

BTN pull downs- 150x2x10
                          200x2x5

Front- same as BTN but with a different handle

Today was Dogg Crapp training for shoulders

so 3 sets, 12 breaths in between sets, go balls out on every set


shoulder press
arnold press
side delt raise
front....
rear.....
upright rows(not dogg crapp style)
shrugs

very good, pretty much wanted to cry after each one, by the end of the side delt raises my shoulders were tight as balls

tomorrow might be legs, i havent decided yet, i might do a Bday leg day on saturday at a diff gym since i think they might have a hack squat n shit
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs

Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on February 19, 2011, 12:50:21 pm
todays workout was eh, i was pressed for time, i had to get back to cato by 10 to train my client and the weather is horrible today.  So just checked out the gym and i liked it a lot.  A lot of old school equipment which i found works better than this new shit.


did squats( 8:00am squats is not a good idea) 

forgot to eat, i found a old nutrition bar in my back seat that i ate haha anyway


worked up to 405 for 1 and i thought i was gonna dump it, way to early for that shit.

hack squat- did 4 plates on each side plus 2 100lbs plates

vertical leg press, idk prolly had 600lbs on it

then just some isolation shit, checked out some of the other equipment, and he weight room was twice the size of the 1 at my gym, it had a giant sized cardio room with a upstairs to it, and an ab room with a 45 degree hyper and glute ham raise, plus i got in for free because nobody cares to check if your a member so i just walked through .

overall first time using a hack squat and i liked it and ill prolly start going there more when the snow goes away

Post by: John Stamos on February 20, 2011, 10:27:26 am
yeah thanks, here is the pic when i lost some water weight, plus i think i focused on less flex in my lats and more on my back possible

(http://i51.tinypic.com/2ugm3hj.jpg)

today is heavy shoulders, where thursdays is light dogg crapp shoulders.



and about the dunk contest, idk why they made a big deal about blakes 360, or the car, the off the backboard elbow was nice tho.  And 1 of the guys pretty much watched werms videos and copied his dunks

plus the dunk contest with tfb, i only give props to tdub and kenny dobbs, more to kenny dobbs since they actually tried hard dunks, like the 540, reverse 360 btl oop etc etc

but yeah, decided for now until the snow stops melting, im just going to do my leg days at the new gym

today just did a few sets of 400lbs for calf pushs on the leg press and some bw calf raises, then some quick forearm shit.


30 days left i believe until my contest is over so took a lil break from the dieting since i stalled, put on a few lbs and hopefully kick started my metabolism, straight dieting and weighing shit up again and cardio for the next month, see how i do post my pics up and whatever happens happens.  After the "After" pic my true off season will begin where I am just going to get as diesel as possible until september then start a cutting phase but i wanna try to get to 200lbs by march 26th and maybe stay around 205-210 and Ill prolly go get my bf% taken since i wanna be around 10-12%

Soon I am getting hooked up by my cousin to meet up with a guy out in a rich part of ny to talk about running 1 of his gyms which i guess is big as hell and will also have a MMA section to it

anywho, bout to go out n do all of the reactive shit before i hit the gym up cuz there isnt a whole lot of room there since the gym is usually being rented out to gay ass zumba n shit
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 17, 2011, 03:17:30 pm
reactive shit went shitty but thats to be expected.  Did some jumps not really 100% considering my court is still wet and muddy n shit but its the first nice day so i did it anyway.  Paranoid about my ankle i just did some dunks on 9ft which were easy and i can jump off 1ft now which is a big improvement. 


later i might use the blue bands, do some speed squats and 1 heavy set then do jump squats and whatever else comes to mind or maybe ill just stick to speed squats
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 20, 2011, 09:41:58 am
just been doing some jumping, not allowed back at the rec starting monday so ill be going to a gym using their free 3 day pass this week and i bought some weights off my friend which was a good deal, the bar plus 200lbs+ worth of weights (2 45s, 2 35s, i think 2 25's, and some 10s and 5s) for 60 bucks haha


but since ill be having those weights and and the cable crossover, until i decide on joining a gym, ill be doing 2 lower body days there and 1 upperbody since i can do my upperbody work at home

But working out at home will probably workout better since i dont have to listen to country and i can grunt and drop weights as much as i want


and i might be buying a hacksquat/leg press for 300 on craigslist...yeah buddy

my legs have been pretty sore but still jumping anyway.

I took some vids today but the hoop is out of view and i have a clear case around my ipod but still blurrs the video.


so not sure what my vert was during those videos but oh well

at the gym after a game i did a drop step and got low 30s


so pretty curious to see how well i jump when my quads aren't sore

home chest workout.

bench- 135x20
            205x30
            222.5x20 (yeah i lost a 5 so just used a 2.5 instead)
           
- The benching was done with my upper back on some puzzle mats stacked on each other while trying to keep my butt up to keep my back straight....and benching like this is a lot harder i found out.

floor presses- 225.5x8
                      205x10
                      145x10
                      135(+red band)x10

cable flyes- not sure the weight but just did 3-4 sets using somewhat heavy and keeping it in the 20-30 rep range

rope pushdowns/single arm 3x20

skull crushers- 55lbs+ had my brother apply pressure


sadly enough i felt this more and just as sore doing this than what i did at the gym before i got kicked out

Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 27, 2011, 08:09:57 am

Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 27, 2011, 02:34:57 pm
i dont feel like typing everything out but went FUCKING DIESEL today

cardio on a stairmaster for 20 minutes killed me i was surprised as hell
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 28, 2011, 02:21:59 pm
today will be legs, idt ill do lower back, maybe save it for wednesday or thursday


but ill start off with squats, maybe go higher in weight than do 365 for a lot of reps, not to sure yet, i guess i will judge on how i feel
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 28, 2011, 03:03:57 pm
actually i will do legs and back today

considering its a half hour drive to the gym, and after 3 leg exercises im fried, may as well make the most out of it

some stuff first, my legs weren't fresh apparently, first set of squats my quads felt torn up with just 135 so i threw my knee sleeves on and had a quick squat session.


squats- 135x10
             225x5
             315x5
             385x1(easy ass rep but my quads felt like dog shit)

deadlift(just below knee) 315x3x10
hack squat- worked up to 3 plates on each side and drop set down
vert. leg press- worked up to 2 reps cuz of quads with 630lbs+80lbs sled roughly so all together over 700lbs
calf raise- worked up to an easy 225lbs on a standing calf raise machine


pull ups- 3x10
tbar- 2 plates, this 1 is weird, you are off the ground and like angled back, it feels weird as fuck
hammer lat pulldown- 6 platesx2 then drop set down
low cable row- worked up to 170 then drop set down, just went balls out on reps
lat pulldown(2 different bars)- worked up to 210 then drop set down
hammer row- 4 platesx3x10

biceps- curls n shit
cardio
     -10 min stairmaster
     -10 min elliptical
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on March 30, 2011, 10:15:16 pm
as summer approaches i will change up my routine a bit probably and implement a Home Depot workout

meaning I will buy a lawn cart that has a 700lbs capacity, throw my weights in there and 8 60lbs sand bags and  hopefully itd be heavy enough to give a good workout.

I will also find "battling rope" or whatever its called on MMA sites.

plus i will try to make my own fickle fingers, get a tractor tire, and some various other shit.  Plus a ton of weighted stuff, like weighted shorts n what not

but had 2 days rest, back at it tomorrow for upperbody, my interests and shifted and idc about my ego anymore, ive pulled over 500, squatted over 500 and benched over 400, im satisfied with life right now, the only thing i care bout are my squat n deadlifts, i couldnt give a shit bout how much i bench.

so key points i will focus on are

1. increase squat and deadlift
2. increase shoulder mass
3. increase arm mass
4. get lats a little bigger
5. get bf% down and get jacked ass abs
6. get chest a big bigger and separated
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on April 01, 2011, 09:23:10 pm
shitty deadlift session today.

pull ups- 3x10

deadlift- 225x10
              315x8
              405x2 (usually this is in the 10 rep range)

Im assuming im just fatigued, lets hope so

Hack squat- 180+ red band- 8x4

Vert. Leg press-  360+red bands stretched far out- 8x4

the hack and the vert. leg press felt nice and easy and fast, way better than deadlifts

Hammer row- 135x3x10 (almost shit my pants doing this, had fish for dinner)
hammer lat pulldown- 180x3x10

cable row- worked up to 215 and did a drop set


then some regular light lat pulldowns on the cable crossover.


maybe just a shitty day idk but ill go back to the ME/DE style and keep like 2 exercises for each muscle group

so a ME upperbody will be

Bench(until i have a training partner, I warm up with 225x4x10 then go to the smith machine)
power bench for 2 sets and flyes for 4 sets

SM overhead press
DB shoulder work/hammer press for 2x heavy

some diesel triceps,

seated dips
SM JM press


instead of doing multiple exercises for each one, keep it simple n go heavier

legs tho ill go balls out







Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on April 02, 2011, 09:19:11 pm
I will be doing a cardio session tomorrow.

maybe 20 minutes on stairmaster, 20 minutes on elliptical or something then ill spend some time in the sauna(if there arent other dudes in it)



Idk when my next actual workout will be, ill prolly do another leg day before an upperbody day since my upperbody is still hurtin, chest is sore as fuck from thursday, trapz are sore as fuck from friday, back is sore from friday, legs are decent except quads.

btw i forgot to add in my shrugs from yesterday


315x10
405x10
500x8
600x5
650x2

i have to go heavy on shrugs or else i wont feel it
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on April 06, 2011, 07:44:12 pm
my legs are pretty much dead, i think i strained my quads so wont do another leg workout this week, pick it up again next week.

my squats just fell apart, had 1 amazing day then fucked it all up

squat- 315x5
           385x1
           315x5
           225x10

Hack squat- 4 plates on each sidex5(idk everyone says hack squats are easy but it feels fucking hard and awkward)

leg press- worked up to 720 for 5 but felt like i had to up it up to 750x2

then worked some back

tbar
hammer rows
              pull downs
pull ups- 1x15, 1x8, 1x5
good mornings- 225x3x10
low cable row
lat pulldown
biceps

went to the ab room or whatever, used the 45degree hyper holding a 45lb plate


i think next week i might switch it up, but ill prolly go on to do what im doing now once i get my new supplements
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on April 09, 2011, 05:33:47 pm
did some jumping today while doing some cleans and speed squats outside

my quads i believe are just torn up, my squat has gone way down after that 1 session and hurts just doing 135, so yesterday just did back and calves only

calves worked up to 720lbs hack squat

back, doing deadlifts without straps

315x3x10
225x3x3(speed)

pull ups- 3x?

and someother shit

back raises again

I am going to buy a 150lbs weight vest to use for back raises and other various exercises, along with a sand bag from elitefts and some other cool shit for the summer

right now idk my weight, the scale at the gym isnt right.

but a few more weeks of the bulking phase then ill be ordering my supplements and going on a cutting cycle
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on April 30, 2011, 09:29:49 am
Ive been to lazy to get on here but some updates

i recently decided to just do 100% raw lifting, no belt, no wrist wraps or knee sleeves or anything except my underwear, pants and shirt..possibly sometimes a hat.

yesterday was a back day and the only thing worth mentioning is deadlifts since no1 cares about how much i do on lat pulldowns n shit.

so deadlifts i worked up to 405 for a quick and easy single.  The bars at my new gym seems to be thicker and this 1 was slippery but no excuses, its what i worked up to

my squats have been shitty, idk if its just because i wake up at 430 in the morning and get out of work at 3-4:00pm

no belt or anything im over 400lbs tho still on squats i believe

havent been able to do flat benching on a normal bench because i have no1 to spot me so ive been working on the smith machine

and on there i work up to 365lbs.

other updates idk im still around 220, on dexaprine now from IForce nutrition and plan on doing a workout like this

monday- legs(ME)
tuesday- upperbody(ME)
wednesday- off
thursday- Back(ME)
friday- Upperbody(Reps)


I usually do my main lift heavy then other supp lifts a bodybuilding type routine or i go with DC with rest pause sets

Im going to start doing a lot more cardio i usually walk for 10 mins after each workout considering work is cardio itself.



other then that idk how well i can jump now, its been shitty out so its hard to really tell but this weekend is supposed to be nice and once i  do the Three S's ill get out and do some jumping
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on April 30, 2011, 11:15:44 am
did some jumping, will upload a video later.

rim ranges from 8'2 to 10'+.....not sure how high it is but ill measure it later also

but for now gonna drop a deuce and take a shower while my videos convert

the camera angle in the last part looks weird

idk the rim was set over 10ft, prolly why i could just tip it, idk how high it is tho

but i quickly made it since i gotta get to the gym and basspro to pick my bow up
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 01, 2011, 05:43:11 pm
today i just did some quick sprints, side steps, lunges, bear crawls etc etc while dragging my dads tractor tire chains

then went to the park to do some running outside for a change.  It felt like i was doing my miles really slow until i realized that each lap i was doing an extra 52 meters or so which doesnt seem like much but oh well i still did it pretty fast.

ran 4 laps, walked 1, ran 4, walked 1

next time i might do that again or i might sprint 113 meters, walk 113, sprint, walk sprint walk until i get tired, or sprint half, walk 113 meters, sprint half



tomorrow will be a leg day so I will start off with

squats(might be front squats tomorrow)
hack squats
leg press
45 degree back raise
machine work

I am thinking that ill go heavy on squats and on the leg press and hack squats ill hook up some bands and do some speed work


back raise will be heavy on both leg n back days

lifting without the use of anything to aid me in the lifts, it feels 100% better and my oly lifts feel better also, just need to do more stretching.

As of right now I am not really concerned with strength besides in my squats and deadlifts, so I might do some balls out work on upperbody, just rep shit out


also in the near future I will be getting a sandbag from elitefts, tractor tire, ropes, sled, (not a prowler i see it as pointless to have one if you have a normal sled) and maybe some other fun stuff.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/6334857/fgrtgerg/

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/6334853/dunking_again/

first one was from yesterday, second one from today

in the first video its the same height as the second video but i think a better less shitty angle


im probably weighing in at 222(last time i went to the gym) and still under 6ft and stopped growing a long time ago.

I am trying to get a CO job down in north carolina or virginia  so i would buy a new camera but i have to save up for if and when i move.

I am going to follow a certain set up of routine like i outlined earlier but I will just do whatever my body will let me and go balls out on it. 

anyway, idk my reach and idk how high the rim is even though ik its over 10ft since the 10ft hole on the rim handle  thing that you use to move it up and down is below where you obviously put the bolt in to keep it at 10ft
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2011, 06:49:40 pm
today was legs.

Waited for my brother to sign up for his membership and a guy was curling in the squat rack so i decided to do heavy leg presses first.

Vert. Leg press- worked up to 650x5, then drop set by taking the 100s off then taking a 45 off each side
squats- dog shit, im going to start doing front squats instead for now on
hack squat- just 1 plate on each side but wanted to get as low as possible for slow reps
45 degree back raise

along with the 2.5 miles i did yesterday, also running with my dads tractor tire chains, this was enough

tomorrow is upperbody
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 05, 2011, 10:28:40 pm
finishing this week up with a deadlift session tomorrow with cardio, taking the weekend off and just doing some cardio and fishing.

starting next week I am going to try elliots workout

Ill start with the 2 week beginner thing just because idt my body is conditioned for this type of training so its better to get at it being 100% than what i am at now

I will only be able to post progress stats and not the actual workout, since its copyrighted and plus i paid for it so itd be like taking a girl out to an expensive dinner and not getting a bj

but as for today did upperbody

warm up- bench

135x20
225x2x10
135x20

Power bench- 4 platesx20
                       6 platesx5
                       6 plates+quartersx2
                       4 platesx20
                       2 platesx20
cable flyes- 80lbsx3x10
another cable chest movement-3x10

machine hammer flyes-50lbsx3x10
seated tricep dips- 3 gripsx10 each using 4 plates
tricep pushdowns- 80x3x10(rope)

then 10 minutes on the bike and 10 minute walk on the treadmill

i am currently at about 219 or so depending on the day i suppose.

tomorrow deadlifts will be 100% raw going heavy, then some just going below knees, and do someother shit i havent hit yet this week like trapz and abs and shoulders

Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 06, 2011, 05:29:32 pm
w/o eating and with shoes and jeans on i weighed in at 220 so probably hanging around 218 or so

anyway today was a short day, just to deadlift n do shrugs and a lil bit of shoulders

deadlift- 135x5
              225x5
              315x5
              365x2
              415x1.........on a scale of 1-10 this felt like a 8 or so, i probably had 425-430 in me being 100% raw

worked with some front squatting using the olympic style grip i guess instead of the crossed arms, and i definitely need to work on my flexibility but other then that they felt better.

shrugs- did it on the power bench and worked up to 10 platesx10(no wrist wraps) so 450lbs

starting next week i will be doing elliots program like i mentioned earlier, and it starts with a 2 week maintenance type week or its used to just get you used to his type of training.

I will be taking a before and after pic, lets give it until July 6th to see how I am doing 
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 07, 2011, 09:42:26 am
I am about to go out and do the bw circuit in the program, I am sure ill be fine  hopefully, it doesn't look to bad

Ill be going on my diet pretty soon, whenever i can get to the store, but ive been buying whole and half things of chicken and eating whatever is semi decent around the house

Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 07, 2011, 10:46:46 am
got back in, took my dexaprine, opti-men, primrose, and south african mango extract(with green tea)

and i did 2 sets of the circuit and here is why, it was a lot fucking tougher than i thought.

basic movements we used in gym class in middle school to warm up felt like a gym workout, i had to stop a few times the second set and threw up in my mouth a lil bit.

after that and being a maintenance phase, i have high hopes for this program

got some new footage just now, gonna make a video soon.

not the best, my 2 foot was lower by an inch or two but wasnt 100% hopefully, my 1foot was up though, a few more inches and ill dunk on 10ft again

anyway, the rim goes from 8ft to 10ft+ again, i lower n raise the rim from 10ft to 10'?" to show the difference.

idk if its in hd, i had it on hd but i think i went over on the hd allowed time so maybe it switched to normal so i could keep recording idk

anyway ill put the link up soon

Post by: John Stamos on May 11, 2011, 07:19:58 am
monday i did the first day of maintenance and i almost puked, it was killer

one thing ill say is after every set i did 3 pull ups to keep my heart rate up

its explosive movements with running or another exercise in between each set



today is the second workout, then friday is the circuit, next week i might have to modify it because im heading to North Carolina on tuesday, and staying until the monday after because i have to take my Corrections Officer test, and the monday im heading back i have to stop in Virginia to take the agility test there, sooo busy busy busy week


But if i get the job in Virginia which i will hopefully, my plan is buying a somewhat decent house with a lot of land, and building a gym thats bigger than my house, probably a joe defranco type gym

I dig it!  Good luck with the job.
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 12, 2011, 12:36:13 pm
thanks, the test is a joke

12 pushups in 1 minute
12 sit ups in 1 minute
1 mile in 12 minutes
51 meter sprint in 20 seconds

i did it a few days ago, i did the 12 push ups 1 handed
12 sit ups with no problem obviously
1 minute in a easy jog for 8 minutes
and 51 meter sprint idk ik my old 100m dash time was 12.1 back in hs and idt im to far from that right now

anyway today's workout was mainly back and "legs"

it consisted of push press, bent over rows, lunges(substituted for leg press) incline db chest press, some ab thing and something else i believe

i did 5 push ups in between each set so i did roughly 75 push ups within the workout

medium intensity high volume low rest periods

I am going to do this until after my fitness test as i dont want to pull my back out doing heavy deads the day before i have to run


did a quick dunk session and weighed in with shoes and a sweaty ass shirt at like 220 so im guessing 218-219lbs


Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 14, 2011, 10:09:45 pm
today's workout was the same as Mondays or whenever i did it, the maintenance day has 3 workouts, 2 weights n 1 bw, but i was near my gym so i stopped in.

Things i learned from this workout...

1.  I need to start doing yoga
     A.  I was so inflexible that i couldn't even front squat and i cant do the Oly grip

2.  From the Foam Rolling I did i need another deep tissue massage as i have knots everywhere

3.  On C&J i need to be explosive throughout the whole thing and say fuck form for the most part

4.  my "core" mainly abs and lower back have gotten a lot stronger by ditching the belt and my forearms have grown and been diesel by ditching the wrist wraps

5.  I need to start working more hammys with some good mornings and possibly do some zercher squats

Anyway the program is usually heavy on C&J and high reps on everything else but i did heavy on C&J and front squats, well i went to 225 on front squats for shitty form

anyway my whole body is just tight so ill be doing yoga starting tomorrow
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 15, 2011, 10:58:15 pm
Idk if i want to do another maintenance week or i should get right into the actual program.

I'm leaning towards maintenance since it involves more explosive shit but on the other hand the actual program will focus more on strength so I can probably modify it to do both
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 16, 2011, 09:19:23 pm
I think it was a mix of not eating before the workout, and taking dexaprine which lead me to puke before the last exercise which was renegade rows.

but today consisted of heavy lifting for the most part

incline BB press(smith machine)- worked up to 315x2 then 325x1, had maybe 335 in me
bent over rows- 225x3x8
standing db OH press- 70sx3x8
pull ups+35lbs-3x8
curl machine+tricep dip machine super set
renegade rows- i just did the hammer lat pulldown since i was still feeling like shit

tomorrow involves stuff that makes it so i have to do yoga tonight and tomorrow in order to do the workout properly
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs

I'll be doing the workout today, my back is amazingly tensed up so ill be buying a foam roller tonight from amazon and when i get shit situated with the job ill get a massage

Also i have a new way of doing front squats so maybe ill get a video of how I will do them, if it goes well then its a good way to do front squats if you arent flexible enough and you wont deal with any wrist or finger pain

i havent been to the gym much, just a few times a week, still getting used to front squats

anyway this week i start my new job and i have to go somewhat past my gym to get there so this will make things better for me.

in shoes and pants i was 221 at my physical but last night was a bachelor party and im surprised i didnt drink, well we played dizzy bat where you drink a quarter of a beer then you use a bat to spin 10 times then we had to throw a Frisbee at a kan jam thing, anyway we did it 3 times and thats all i had.

anyway, i might do 2 lower body days and 1 elliot hulse day, for upperbody i will probably do 1 power movement like bench and then just shit on the crossover.

my reps on front squats suck since its harder to breath but for 1 rep max i think i can do pretty good, idk I will see soon, maybe on tuesday or wednesday since wednesday is when i start work.

as for my test i smoked i but they didnt look at my app n didint realize i was from NY and wanted me to go back home n send them a email explaining why i got fired from a previous job, which i described to him but people down south generally are fucking retarded and couldnt comprehend it.

anyway soon with this job since I will be making a lot more, Ill be buying a set of farmers walk handles, log press, and a big sand bag probably, and possibly eventually the home gym set from Elitefts so if i have to move during winter time, i wont have to waste time by going to a gym
Title: Re: Road to no more moobs
Post by: John Stamos on May 29, 2011, 06:02:21 pm
what ive been doing lately also is a mini dunk session with some farmers walks

anyway tried to do a mini session just now and my ankle just feels fucked so idk, a clear sign to say fuck basketball and just focus on jumping, since the number of times ive fucked my ankle up while dunking is 0 and playing ball is like a million

Both of my laptop batteries took a shit on me so I am stuck on the other computer until i can buy a couple new ones or just buy a battery and a desktop, it'd be easier.  Anyway though, I have this bad pain in my foot that arises when i land on my foot after a jump.  Its fucked around the middle of my foot and my heel, so I am guessing a problem is with my old shoes since idt its my ankle since i haven't rolled it since December.

So today i did farmers walks, i put a gallon of water in the water jugs along with the 80lbs of concrete and went for about 1600-1800 feet total.  On the way down i dropped it 3 times and on the way back i dropped it 4 times, which isn't to bad i guess.

I will workout again probably tomorrow in the gym since thursday i have a 14 hour shift, unless i decide to  go early in the morning on thursday, and possibly friday.

Next week though I will get on a better routine, like monday, thursday, friday for sure, since those are my days off and sat. sun. tues wednesday i work but i can workout on the way home from work if i dont have to stay late

also I will be able to afford my nutritionist and some equipment for home so ill be pumped

Post by: John Stamos on May 31, 2011, 07:03:13 pm
The foot problem is because of my shoes, I put my gel insert things in my bball shoes and it worked a lot better.

Highest i dunked today was roughly 9'9-10 off 2 feet and it was a lucky lob

and the highest my rim goes is 10'3 and i usually get around 2"s above that

but as soon as i get paid from my new job ill get some kobe 4s? idk the new one

soon ill be working with shelby starnes finally since my new job pays a shit ton more and ill be getting some strongman stuff and ill be able to workout a lot more, but my 2 foot vert has either stayed the same or increased due to front squats and a decrease in my back squat so ill stick to front squats
Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 06, 2011, 03:26:18 pm
May 20th was the last time i worked out and today i finally made it to the gym.

I weighed in at 218 with shoes, soaked shirt and pants, and i had to take a shit so without all that id say 215.

i mainly focused on lower body so deadlift went up to 405x1 easy as hell
                                                      Fsquats- 225x2x5
                                                  hack squat- 8 platesx3
                                                  vert. leg press- 660? i thinkx3( easy )

then just some quick benching, shoulder shit and arms.

before the workout i stopped at the local park and did some jumps to see how much i lost.  And i gained probably 2 inches from the last time i jumped since i went from snapping 10ft to hanging on it (i have footage) but i cant set the footage up until i get my laptop battery.

anyway i was pleased i actually gained on some lifts after 16 days of not working out

anyway Ill be back on a normal schedule now
Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 13, 2011, 01:21:52 pm

Notes- Cleans are getting easier, started out doing 205 barely for 3....today

185x2x3(felt hardish)
185x1x8...idk i just decided to go diesel and it felt 100x easier, coulda done 225 probably pretty decent

chin ups- 3x10

DB overhead press- 3x rep out with 40s, doing alternate presses really fast

goal is obviously to get to 200lbs with shoes on

Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 24, 2011, 06:29:06 pm
Today did some shit

 deadlift- worked up to 425x1...100% raw, no belt, no knee sleeves or wrist straps
       -It was easy but since i use my forearms at work a lot they are usually burnin by the end of the day so my grip was kinda bad

t-bar row- 2 plates+35- 3x10
High hack squats- 6 plates- 3x5(quick)
hammer lat pulldown/hammer row- 3x10
low cable rows-3x10

Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 29, 2011, 02:31:13 pm
yesterday i did various oly shit and deadlift and shrugs

cleans-(not improving idk why) 205xidk not many
sumo high pulls- 135x3x10(very easy)
hang snatch- 135x3x5(very easy so this at least was an improvement)

by now my forearms were fried and the bar was slippery as hell so had to use straps on 405 even though i cant get into a good position with straps and my form sucked, still got it easy though

shrugs- worked up to 630? 1x5 on the power bench, i ran out of room to put more on

5 min run to cooldown and that was pretty easy too

on the weekends ill be walking a total of 16 miles for work in boots and its all up and down hill so hopefully cardio can keep up with that

today im thinking about going tonight just to get some circuits in and some cardio.


Also


I just ordered Axcel from AtLarge nutrition, i heard good things and im hoping this one doesnt make me puke after each workout like dexaprine.  And I am starting my search for dented tuna fish cans
Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 29, 2011, 09:40:17 pm
Before i left to workout i read an article that wendler put up on fb about broz gym or whatever.  And something stuck out to me and said "there is no such thing as over training, you're just under-trained."

now ik not 100% true but you have to do A LOT to overtrain and if you switch it up a lot then you shouldnt worry to much.

I wanted to just do 3-4 days a week to get proper rest and everything but fuck that.  I did oly lifts yesterday and today they felt even better.

todays workout

btn jerk- 135x3
               205x3
               225x1
               250x1
       - These felt really good, ill go heavier when the gym goes 24/7 if im awake and ready at midnight

various speed deadlifts- sumo, conventional, elevated, and my new favorite- 1 handed

all except the 1 handed was done with 250 and the 1 handed was done with 135 - I think the bar is fucked, the left side feels heavier on everything and it showed with how uneven it was today but i dealt with it

speed cleans- 135x3x3- felt like i was cleaning air

DB snatch- 80lbsx3x5 ( felt fast and easy )

shoulder press and the finisher

10 min run


tomorrow will be legs

friday is back



Deadlifts for now will be done 1 handed, my goal is 315 with my right and left arm


Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 30, 2011, 09:02:03 pm
Legs-

getting back into back squats so didnt want to over-do it unlike last time i injured both of my quads doing 315x15 and 365x10-15

135x5
225x5
315x4x3
335x1
355x1( this felt like 70-80% of my 1rm ) so not to bad...and done 100% raw

hack squat- 4 plates- 3x3 (speed)
good mornings- 135x3x10
db swings- 55x3x10
45 degree hyper- 75lbs db- 3x5, then 2x5 really slow body weight
            -  I feel like i can do more than that but the handles on the hyper are way to close together so it makes it awkward

leg curls- 3x10 heavyish then 2x10 1 legged


overall i liked the workout, because i have no spotter and going raw, I will just go up by 10lbs or so each week


Also I am going to put the pins high so when i do btn jerks i dont have to really worry about lowering it all the way down slow

forgot to weigh in but im not to concerned



10 mins of foam rolling and I was yelling, my legs and hips are rough right now

Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on June 30, 2011, 10:16:09 pm
ALso did a dunk session today in my shoes that i wear at work, 13 dollar Velcro starter shoes, no support and poorly made


but on some of the jumps like on 8'7 i looked into the rim, on 9'6 i got maybe halfway between wrist and elbow to the rim and idt im down any weight, so the oly lifting as definitely been helping

the process to work with shelby is taking longer than i thought, tomorrow depending on how much i have, ill start building up my stock of tuna fish and canned chicken and use my mileage check to buy my protein since it'll cost about 130 plus shipping. and every week ill slowly keep building up my protein sources.

but monthly ill prolly spend about 40 dollars on tuna, 40 dollars on chicken, however much on my carb sources and other shit that he has me buy.  And ill be doing roughly 2 protein shakes a day so thatll cut cost as well, or maybe 3 a day not to sure yet.

40 dollars will get me 70 cans so i can go a lil bit lower i suppose if i eat 2 cans a day so prolly 35 dollars a month on tuna fish plus ill have the chicken but im not sure how much that is.
Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on July 01, 2011, 05:42:00 pm
today was back, idk nothing major happened just a back workout

Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on July 05, 2011, 09:29:22 am
Didnt do anything all weekend and monday because i was working 1030am-1030pm everyday, plus the gym was closed on monday anyway.  But work gave me new combat boots which are heavier than shit it feels like and on my rounds i have to walk about 1.3 miles each time and i do that 6 times a day, plus its all up and down hill, so to get my exercise in i decided to jog it and sometimes sprint on monday when nobody was around.  I cant do that when people are there because someone will think shit is going down at the mine.


Anyway, recent updates I ordered Axcel from AtLarge nutrition, 25lbs Recession protein from trueprotein.com, and i bought 70 cans of tuna fish which was a pain in the ass to buy in the store because cashiers are retarded.  next week I will be starting with shelby starnes finally doing a month to month deal.

anyway todays workout, ive seen good shit with doing oly lifts everyday for the most part, i dont do the same ones like today ill prolly do light hang cleans and hang snatches to get the blood flowing and do a chest and tri day, tomorrow could be a straight up oly day


I also had a velcro dunk day in my 13 dollar work walmart shoes, and i was getting a few inches lower but a lot higher than i had expected. 

Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on July 05, 2011, 02:43:27 pm
just did a lil dunk session, went to the park and did some jumps in 3 different kind of shoes to compare, and for the highest i got off 2ft the order was

1. waffle racers- 20 dollars
2. Fly wade jordans- 153 dollars
3. Nikes that idk the actual name- 125 dollars


But for 1 foot, fly wades reigned supreme.  I am just about back to dunking to10ft again but the ball kept back rimming or floppin out but def getting high enough to do so, ill get some pictures

working out soon and gonna switch normal bench with reverse grip


ill just make a video later, its easier to tel that way then with pictures


actually keep changing my mind, todays workout idk i feel like going beast mode and fucking shit up, possibly starting off with a deadlift session with some oly shit and some diesel lower back full of gruntin and weight slammin
Title: Re: Lean Hybrid Muscle Reloaded
Post by: John Stamos on July 05, 2011, 08:09:27 pm
considering how much i hate my sister and how pissed i am at my brother, that plus hemoval and Maximize V2 fueled my workout and went fucking diesel

100% raw-

btn jerk- PR 260lbs
deadlift- 1 handed- 185lbs
Reg. Deadlift- 430lbs (i have WAY MORE THAN THIS in the tank but my grip is bein puss right now)
hang cleans/normal cleans- i switched it up but it was with 135 and it felt like i was just doing the bar
sumo power upright rows- 135x3x10

pull upsx 3x10


this afternoon i had a dunk session where i was missing my dunks on 10ft and i just went beast mode out there, still fired up and joined the 10ft club again after 3 years hahaha

    I am going to go with lower weight this time and hit sets of 20 reps or close to it

Flat Barbell Bench Press 135x5x20
    
Hammer Strength Flat Press 140x4x20

Pec Deck 5x20- oops lol forgot
    
Cable Crossovers 40x5x20- nice and slow, 4th and 5th set i put a bench in there and did flyes with the cables like you would with a DB
  
decline Barbell Press 135x3x20

-   My chest was shot already and my front dealts from doing them yesterday were on fire.  All reps were done pretty slow and controlled so the weight was plenty even though its not a lot of weight
    
Seated Dumbbell curls 5x10
           - 1 set =s 1 normal curl, 1 hammer curl, and 1 tit curl (obv with both hands)

Machine Curls 70x5x12
    
regular machine curls(other 1 was plate loaded) - 40lbs 1 arm 3x12x12( each arm 12 reps normal grip and 12 reps hammer grip)    



for squats and deadlifts and eventually when im at a lower bw, im going to start doing bw reps. and once I hit a goal of lets say 30 reps for my bw then ill move it up 10-20lbs and get at it again


very nice burn and pump, i am up in weight, i weighed in with shoes and pants n everything on at 225-226, but i also drank 5-20oz bottles so there is 6 pounds right there and whatever i sweated out was still on my shirts so its not like it really went anywhere.  and i took a shit before the workout so it all evens out, if i didnt drink so much water i woulda been about 220 which woulda been -3 lbs
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on August 05, 2011, 09:02:25 pm
Leg press- i dont remember the weights but i started off doing 10 reps, down to 8 n down by 2 every set n finally reached 1 which felt like it was 85% and ended up with 1 rep at 900lbs, so its possible i can hit 1000 but didnt go that high so cant know for sure

  Hack squat- 2 plates on each side- 3x10

  deadlift- bw roughly 225x1x20( felt like shit before the workout but this was a fast 20 reps)

   leg extension- idk the weightx3x15

Also i get my diet plan from shelby starnes by the end of the weekend, had to send in pics n tell him my goals n what not so pretty excited for it to start
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on August 15, 2011, 09:17:09 am
cardio over the weekend, overall walked about 9 or 10 miles, the rest of my walks for work i did in the truck cuz the weather sucked ball sack.

I started my diet on saturday and its a carb cycling 1 from shelby, 1 high on most strenuous workout, low days on off days, and medium on everyother.

I am thinking about taking out the second chest day and doing a oly day like i used to.  But if i have to ill take the oly day out and make it a low day.

also cardio is in the morning(if i can, my legs are to tired from friday and the weekend still)

High carb days- no cardio
medium carb days- after workout(or morning) 30 minutes on big stairmaster thing
low carb days(morning)- 15 minute interval sprints..jog for 45 seconds, sprint 15 and keep at it until i hit 15

I am thinking also about lowering the volume a bit and just do 4x10 on bench instead of 8x20 but keep volume high on all the rest of the crap.


While taking roxylean by BPI and the diet, i stay pretty full for how little it seems like i eat(even though i take in over 200grams of protein and between 30-over 200grams of carbs a day)

workout was a quick chest workout, tomorrow will be an oly with some back, gotta make it quick since i have my pistol course.

Update today on my court i had some jumps where my head was at rim level(9ft lol) and a lil higher maybe but my 2 foot sucked dick

Later when i went to play at the gym, im guessing my 2ft 1 step is high 30s and my 1ft i was making the rim muh bitch...kinda haha  I had one stuff where the ball off the oop went rim level  so i hit it against the rim and my a lil bit of my forearm was on the ball....soo possibly 40 or a lil less.  Idk my weight but i didnt eat shit today.

Also I am going to start doing an eggs, protein and kashi cereal diet sincei m getting sick of chicken, and im going to order waxy maize for my carb source since the carbs sources i can have i hate.

 Back on track with the diet, and now I am on an EC stack, may as well come out and say it.   I am being safe with it by taking in a lot of water and keeping my potassium intake up(not to high)

First impressions if people are wondering-

Day 1- 12.5mg(half a pill) of ephedra- warming feeling on my face and overall whole body but maybe face. no unnatural heart beat
Day 2- 12.5mgx3 4 hours a part- warm all day
Day 3- (today) 12.5mgx3- last dosage had 100mg of caffeine since my supplements just came in- My heart rate was actually better during my workout than taking a pre-workout supplement- warm all day- insane pump and hardness in my chest and triceps


todays workout-

Bench- 135x2x10
            225x3x10

Incline DB press- 3x10x75lbs

Cable flyes- 40,50,60,70lbsx10
reverse cable flyes- 40lbsx3x10

Fly machine- 125lbsx3x10x3 second squeeze when my hands were touching


didnt get time to do bis but ill just do them tomorrow
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on September 13, 2011, 07:02:18 pm
I feel like im getting used to the dosage so ill be doing 2 full tomorrow and 1 half(if im wired as shit)

idk what my weight was before when i had a fat week, prolly 230 or over and today in my jordans i was 225, so shitty start but whatevs, at least without shoes im back down to roughly where i used to be
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on September 14, 2011, 10:42:33 pm
did shoulders but anyway

weight-227
Dunked once at my house on 10ft
went to the gym, got 5 down, drop step hung on the rim, and drop stepped and hung on with 2 hands, back rimmed a oop drop step. so overall whatever im doing its working

I somehow never saw this journal till today.
What kind of beast are you , jumping ~40@230lbs???  :o

Also what are your current stats such as height/reach/bodyfat/SVJ/DLRVJ/SLRVJ/Squat 1RM?
Tried to find them on the go but couldn't...

Tried to find them on the go but couldn't...

yeah I am kinda surprised as well haha, when i did the dunks and then i weighed myself i expected myself to be 10lbs lighter than i was.

for my physical for my job i was 5'9 w/o shoes
reach idk around 7'8'' or so
body fat idk 15% or so around there, i havent tested but its a good guess
SVJ- sucks maybe a lil over 30"
DLRVJ is lower than my drop step
Single leg i can get maybe a few inches past my wrist on the rim
and I dont really squat much anymore, focus more on deadlift but im still over 400lbs i bet
deadlift- last time i did it i did 460 pretty decent with straps and without straps 440? i cant remember it says it a few pages back or so.


But i have been doing a 5x5 with really deep(hit rock bottom) on the hack squat or ill work up to 900-1000 on the leg press for a single(true single not a ronnie coleman rep)


Also last time i knew i think i did a BTN jerk with 280lbs but that was awhile ago and maybe i can get 300 now, ill try it out next week
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on September 15, 2011, 07:59:16 pm
Today was a complete rest day, my legs are tired and my hammy is sore


Tomorrow is a leg day, prolly do reverse band deadlifts.  My deadlift is going up and my squat feels like its staying the same or getting shittier but my vert is increasing so fuck it ill keep with it until i stop progressing then switch it up
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on September 23, 2011, 12:59:51 pm
last deadlift day i was feeling sore so i didnt go heavy but i wanted to see how many times i could do my bodyweight

135x10(warm up)
225x30

the gym was so cold that it was hard to breath so i didnt do another set

how it felt- I was a bit tight towards the end but i felt like i could have gone maybe 20 more or so if my grip allowed me to

hacksquat- 3x3x230- all the way down until the sled part hit the bottom and feet were almost touching


this week same ol shit, benching, back work nothing to exciting


today am(well 11:00 since i wake up late now)

walking while pulling a 45lbs plate for bout 5 minutes
sprints with it- maybe 30 yards x 8 then the rope snapped

then i did a dunking session, felt like shit in the beginning but had a second wind toward the end, got maybe a lil bit of my bicep over the rim on 9ft  so that would mean maybe 22"s over, so 10'10 touch about idk 10'8-10'10''


today is another deadlift day idk prolly go heavy, take a long hot bath and foam rolling session.

Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on October 10, 2011, 09:27:51 pm
yeah i was tired as shit, now im doing random ass kind of training, full upperbody days but splitting em up between barbell, db, machine movements.. idk if itll work well but whatevs, trying something new.

out of the 3 upperbody days chest will be done all 3 days but on the day i focus on shoulders ill just do machine flyes for chest or something.

so what i mean is like what i did today

5 min walk, 5 min jog at 6mph for warm up

Pull ups(done every day)- 3x10
BB Bench- 135x10
                 225x1x15
                         1x10
                         1x8

        - felt good, didnt have a spotter so i didnt want to push it

cable flyes- idk nothing exciting to write down

seated alternating curls- 30x3x20
cable curls- 50lbsx3x15

bw dips- 3x10
1 arm pushdowns- 40x3x10
side delt raise- 35x3x15
PB shrugs- 180x3x15
tbar row- 3 platesx3x10
push ups

       - those were done on a tbar row machine, the difference is if u stick a bar in a corner n do them, you can get serious weight on it, this machine thing makes it harder to do so

so yeah a few exercises for back, chest, shoulders, tris, bis

abs- cable crunch-80x3x20

stretching at the end with a 15 minute walk, woulda gone longer but had to take a shit
             



so tomorrow ill do machines so i can seperate the 2 stabilizing days

ill do bb shoulder press as my only bb movement(cept curls)
hammer shoulder press
pull ups,
low cable row
hammer press
power bench
bb curls
machine curls
dip machine
bw dips
push ups

etc etc, seems like a lot but idk i can handle it, the bw movements help with recovering between weighted sets.

i also do agility work in the morning with 10 and 40 yard sprints with a 10lbs weight vest and 2 1lbs weighted bags in my hands(the weights you put in the vest)


and so the next day will be db shit, take a day off and go balls out on legs


considering i did a set of 20, coulda done maybe 5 more of deadlifts for 315 last friday which ive never been able to get 20 without stopping before, ill try for a max, and it was raw, no belt or wrist wraps or knee wraps or anything

I have been mainly focusing on pulls

If i get the job at Golds I will be implementing some crossfit to get in shape and also strong man training since they have tires and shit there.

I have been doing some cambered bar zercher squats instead of normal squats working up to about 350lbs
I am not sure what my raw deadlift is right now since i stopped doing them and only pull once- twice a month

todays workout will be zercher squats and idk what else i feel like doing, some DB front squats and other shit

Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on December 16, 2011, 10:57:59 pm
I'm not a fan either i wont do like a legit crossfit program but ill implement some similar circuit type shit that they do just to change it up for a bit when i need a break from the powerlifting.

but today was as follows

Cambered Bar Zercher squat- 145x10
                                                235x10
                                                325x1(when it gets over 300 i just use singles or ill bust a nut)
                                                365x1(new PR)  I also went low as shit on this, a lot lower than i was planning on

Rack pulls- 5x2- 225 bar weight plus double wrapped mini's

First set sucked but after that i felt good and they went up nice and fast

Calf raises

Leg curl- 130x3x10

Probably when i start working at golds I will be buying a treadmill so i can do it at home if I dont get to it at the gym since its pretty busy almost all day


Will update this with how many calories i burned during the workout when i upload my bodybugg
Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on December 21, 2011, 12:01:16 am
total for the workout was 888 calories

Which idk sucks

I might go back to do a cycle of high rep shit again and include more full body exercises like instead of just doing DB front squats, just throw in a press

according to the bodybugg ill burn on average 2016 just laying around the house a day.

my goal is to hit 4000 calories a day

So in the mornings I am going to start doing the circuit in the lean hybrid muscle reloaded or idk I'll figure something out maybe do a lil p90x workout

                            Ab coaster- 50lbs for 100 reps

Title: Re: Lean Machine
Post by: John Stamos on December 22, 2011, 01:20:53 am
definitely need to cut back on the xmas cookies ugh wtf, started adding in some cardio so hopefully I'll be back down to my goal weight by summertime which is 180-190lbs

Weighed in about 235, so If i can only get to a 500lbs deadlift and be 180lbs that will  be good enough for me

But the video is about 5 min and boring, I bend my arms a bit with shrugs to get an extra inch or two and i cant go slow n shit on them they respond better to just going diesel, I did this without a belt or wrist straps, i can usually get 7 per side for 5-8 without straps if i dont do a back day beforehand.

http://www.metacafe.com/w/7895782

the power upright rows or whatever prolly look like shit but whatevs had to throw some kind of explosive lift in

Post by: John Stamos on April 04, 2012, 07:18:43 pm
Haven't updated in awhile

just been working and being lazy, my membership ran out a few days ago so im going to check out a new gym that i pass by when i go to work tomorrow.

workout today-

Husafell stone carry- just started and tested it out for a few walks to get the hang of it

1x10ft- i didnt want to drop it on my foot so i got nervous haha
1x15ft- building confidence
2x60ft- ight got the hang of it

the stone i made weighs god idk 330lbs or so, its only 5" thick but i extended the length by 4inches so it was a lot bigger than i thought it would be.

inbetween the walks i did a sled drag idk for 100 something feet getting low and sprinting. 

Ive also been doing barrel carries.

but when i left the gym

last leg day we worked up to 315x8x2 with a green band wrapped around something and 2 DBs so id say 200lbs of tension at the top, then speed rack pulls with 225 plus red bands quadruple wrapped.

My benching was pretty solid still, havent bothered to max out

shrugs on the seated tricep/power bench machine i worked up to 810lbsx6

deadlift idk i was only going 3 days a week so i just stuck with the rack pulls.


um if i join the gym tomorrow or if they give me a free 3 day pass like they sometimes do itll be a chest bis shoulders and  friday will be back tris n legs

Today had my 3rd interview at budweiser and did cardio afterwards.

45 mins of jogging ranging from 5mph to 6.5mph, and I hit 4 miles at 45 minutes or so.  When i joined my gym a month or so ago i went from hardly doing half a mile to 4 miles so I'm pretty pumped about it.   I weighed in at 248lbs and I went from not even coming close to wearing my old pair of jeans to being able to wear them now.

Later I am doing chest and BIs at 5:30ish...sooo high rep shit, will probably look like this

Bench/DB bench super set- 205x3x failure/ 70lbsx3xfailure
         - I hit rep ranges 25, 15, 8 for the bench
Incline Hammer press- 1 plate for 3 sets of 20,
Machine fly and cable fly super set

Barbell/EZ bar curls(both wide and close)
db hammer/normal/tittie curls
face curls(or guillotine curls I think thats what greg plitt calls them)

some ab work and light cardio for 15 minutes


my week will look like this



mon-chest bi- rep
tues- back tri
wed- shoulders
thur- legs
frid - chest bi- heavy

Next week

mon- back tri
tues- shoulders

etc etc etc

                    185x3
                    225x1
                    265x1(on a 16" bench or prolly even shorter then that so parallel or below)

                             - It felt decent but i didnt want to risk going higher n crapping out since i never do Front squats

hammer leg press- worked up to 8 plates and had the seat as close as i could get it, did 4 sets of 8-12 range nice and slow
leg press- 8 platesx3x15-20
1 legged leg curls- 65x3x10

weight- 254

10 mins of cardio on the elliptical

did some machines and cable work for tris and back just stuff i didnt do during the week


20 mins of HIIT on a bike
     - when my heart rate was between 65-70% id kick it up to level 15(out of 20) for 30 seconds then do it again once my HRT went back down to 65%  I got maybe 8-10, takes awhile to get it back down since i was averaging about 160

walked for 10 mins

10 mins in a sauna at 130 degrees



made protein pancakes

5  egg whites
1/4 cup of oats
half a banana
lil bit of water

Ive had a lot of shoulder problems in the past which kept me away from incline benching but monday i believe i started with incline and hit a PR

the most i did before was 250 and because I workout with someone weaker  ill just throw 10s on to make it a 45 or whatever so its faster to switch to his weight and i miscalculated and thought it was 265 but i managed to get 275.

other then that just been doing some full body stuff still with strength increases and my weight going down.


After eating like shit for however long ive managed to get back down in the 240s again

i have a video of me warming up for the workout with a dunk session only on 8'6 haha but it was fun buuuut its not really worth posting
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on June 14, 2012, 09:13:27 pm
todays workout

incline db press- 80sx4x10(easy)
cable flyes
cable tricep extensions(idk if this type has a name but you use both cables and you form an x with the cables so the sides are in opposite hands and just do extensions)
dips
rope extensions

some biceps

mile run

cool down 2 mile on the bike


dunk session which I will upload shortly when i make the vid

bassically the heights are 8.5 warm ups, then 9'6 then the first slow mo is 10ft then it goes to, back to 9ft then a 2ft jump at 9'6, 1ft jump at 9'6. back to 8.5,  then to 8ft for fun

the ball was flat as shit so gave me a chance to get some height and work on some tricks i guess(weather went from 90 degrees when the ball was all the way pumped up to 60s in no time and it became flatish)

tried a leg day but didnt turn out good

squat- 135x10
           225x5
           275x5
           315 - Got under the bar and my quads cramped up really bad so shook it up and went under again and it happened again and just said fuck it.  I only went to 2 and i was fighting the cramp and the weight and ended it there

leg press- 4 platesx3x15 slow on the way down then explosive on the way up

hamstring curls
140x3x10


someother lil shit



today was 2 mile run, bench just went cold and did 300x3, would have gotten more but my spotter messed my grove up on the second and grabbed the bar and pushed down on it cuz he thought i was doing 1

just a random ass day, prolly ate about 6,000 calories, had a MSHA training thing at a fancy hotel and there was a shit ton of food for lunch.

my last leg day sucked

over the weekend i bought a pedometer and found out i walked almost 15.5 miles a weekend, If i had walked my first round then it woulda been about 17 miles but there was a thunderstorm.

today I think i am going back to 1 bodypart a day.

Chest

Bench(probably smith machine)
Incline DB press
Hex press
Hammer press
flyes
push ups

cardio- slow 1.5 mile run, maybe set it at 6mph then each week increase it until Im in the 10 min mark for the mile n a half

the rep ranges Idk for the bench just work with 225, db press go heavy
the others work for reps



today i did a dunk session and idk I bought a new ball and its bouncy as fuck so it messed me up a bit but there is 1 oop drop step that i am curious to look at.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on July 09, 2012, 05:00:13 pm
why one bodypart a day?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 09, 2012, 08:02:11 pm
just going to do it for the week to take a break from what i was doing before and maybe ill go back or figure something else out.  By now I was hoping nobody would be at the gym but it hasnt died down like every other gym ive been to and what i was doing before had me using a lot of different things and a lot of people like to do curls in the squat rack and that bullshit.

But i was thinking about going back to doing strength and focus on deadlifts and bench, bench press because a lot of states now have the bench as a test for state troopers and deadlift because my jumping was at its best when my deadlift was a lot higher



today

bench- 135x10(felt like nothing was in my hands)
            225x10(felt the same)
            275x8( felt easy)
            185x10

Hex DB Press- 65x3x15

Hammer press- worked up to 3 plates for 3 then went back down.  The other hammer press i used to use i could do 5 plates for 5 reps so not sure how this 1 is that much different.

2 different fly variations

machine press.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 10, 2012, 10:12:38 pm
gotta start working on my grip

deadlift- worked up to 315 for 10, had prolly 15 more in me but my right handed grip sucks balls which is shitty because the most ive done is 28? reps, somewhere around there.

1 arm DB row- worked up to 155s for 2x10

some cable stuff and kayak rows

pull ups

tomorrow is a off cardio day

thursday is arms n shoulders

I've been working a lot since i moved up to being a BPO and i wrote down a few workouts i did on fb that ill post on here after this

Todays chest workout-

Bench
warm up- 225x3x10
                315x5x5
              -  I probably could have done 1 more set of 5 full ones without help if i had enough rest but my wrists were pretty fucked by this point

DB flys - 30x10
              40x10
              50x10
              70x10

some machine work and light shrugs

doesnt seem like much but doing 2 extra sets of 315 and im more worn out than doing 3 sets and doing dumbbell presses

i started to throw in a half hour cardio each morning while im still fasted a wee bit


     
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2012, 07:26:11 pm
this is what i was doing at my old gym back towards the end of september

Chest/tris (this has to be done on a smith machine, or if you have a squat rack that allowes you to do this then get a partner to spot you)
working set 1(4 sets to this giant set and no breaks inbetween each exercise)
 
                                      Bench press- 380x1
                                  Floor push upsx20
Smith machine pushups on 1st notchx20
                                          2nd notchx20
                                          3rd notchx20
BW tri extension on smith machine 4th notchx20
tricep push upx10
                                        -For the bench press I went 380-315-225-135
 
Giant set 2(your muscles will be cooked already so dont expect a lot of weight to be used)
DB Incline press- 45x15
Hex press- 45x15
DB fly-30x15
low db fly-20x15
 
Giant set 3
( dont remember the weight but all high reps)
Tricep rope pushdowns
single arm extensions
cable kickbacks
overhead rope extensions
 
End it with a close grip hammer press or machine press
 
This is a perfect workout where you should leave your ego at the door because 135 on my last bench set felt like 315
 
so to recap- when you do the sets do the exercises one right after the other, the only break you get is taking weights off or putting weights on
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2012, 07:27:06 pm
still late september

back and bis
 
same format
Giant set 1
BW deadlift( deadlift a weight that is equal to your bodyweight)x as many as you can
bent over BB rows
pull ups(palms facing away from you)
barbell pullups
 
giant set 2
 
BB curl(go for a heavy 10-15 reps)
bent over BB curl(kinda like your rowing but the weight should be thigh level and so you can curl the weight up to your chest)
BB BW curl
 
super set 3
Lat pulldown(pause at the bottom for a 1 count and go slow throughout the movement)
low cable row(same idea)
 
finish with some rope curls
 
At this time if you dont feel exhausted and sore then you didnt do the workout right
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2012, 07:28:20 pm
For a long time I havent been feeling the burn in my shoulders even though ive been going diesel on them, so i sat back and evaluated the situation and experiemented until i decided to do this
 
 
the sets that fix the problem
 
DB press- 15lbs(I shit you not)x100 reps
DB side raises- 15lbsx50 reps
 
Also not full range of motion, keep it on the bottom half to focus on the shoulders
 
giant set 1
 
Db press- 40x20
db front raise- 30x15
db side raise- 20x20
 
trapz- shrugs, bb, db, machine whatever you want, however you feel it works for you
 
Smith machine work
- upright rows- 100lbsx15
  Kneeling front shoulder pressx10
  kneeling rear shoulder pressx10
 
some rear delt work and they were pumped....super pumped
 
 
After the shoulder workout which was at 9:30pm I weighed in at 260.5 with shoes on so back in the 250s without them.
 
Starting weight- 250 then increased to 271- back to 260.5
                     - 10.5lbs
 
 
Whatever you do, 4 sets of each giant set sucks but dont bitch out and skip out on 1 or 2 of them...your body has a lot more potential than what people think.  Just dont be a pussy
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2012, 07:30:20 pm
end of september

I decided to lower the weight because im in a calorie deficit right now and wasn't feeling as strong
 
 
 
working set 1(4 sets to this giant set and no breaks inbetween each exercise)
 
                                      Bench press- 325x6
                                  Floor push upsx20
Smith machine pushups on 1st notchx20
                                          2nd notchx20
                                          3rd notchx20
BW tri extension on smith machine 4th notchx20
tricep push upx10
                                        -For the bench press I went 325x6-275x4-225x10-135x20
 
Giant set 2(your muscles will be cooked already so dont expect a lot of weight to be used)
DB Incline press- 40x15
                            50x10
                            60x6
                            70x3
Hex press- 45x15
DB fly-30x15
 
 
Giant set 3
( dont remember the weight but all high reps)
Tricep rope pushdowns
single arm extensions
cable kickbacks
overhead rope extensions
 


thats basically the format i used, i lost weight and kept my strength through it but it burned me out within like 3 weeks i think
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 11, 2012, 10:56:43 pm
Back day

warm up

rack pull- 315x10
               405x10

fat man pull ups- 2x10


1 arm BB row- 55lbsx3x10

single handle lat pulldowns super set with seated rows 3 sets

straight bar lat pulldowns 3 sets


i think i did more than this but i cant remember, this gym doesnt really have shit to do for your back and the lat pulldown sucks dick and you cant do straight arm lat pulldowns or anything on it.

tomorrow is shoulders, thurs legs and fri is arms, and on friday going to remember to do board presses to get my triceps back strong since on monday im going to try for 405 on the bench
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Dreyth on December 12, 2012, 12:49:51 am
whats the purpose of doing 315x10 before 405x10? wouldnt that just wear you out before your top set? I would suggest warming up properly for a 405x10 and then dropping down to 315x10

i see only bodybuilders do this kinda stuff, whereas powerlifters and olympic lifters pyramid the way I suggested.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 12, 2012, 07:46:21 pm
ill probably do

315x2(speed reps)
365x1
380x1

and then see if im good for 405, if not then 390 or something like that
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 12, 2012, 07:51:07 pm
Regardless of what i get itll be the end of me trying to go for 4 plates next monday

I have to change my mindset and cut weight

to start off Ill prolly just do a 40/30/30 diet with 5 meals a day, my BMR says i need around 21-2200 so itll be around 2200 calories a day but when i plateau on that ill get into carb cycling and my diet plan i had shelby starnes make for me

Not sure if i mentioned it before but i will just be straight up about it.

The "supplement" that ive been using is SD90 which is a superdrol clone, 3 weeks on and ill go 4-5 weeks off, ive done about 2 full cycles and 1 half cycle over the past idk 10 months or so.

Before taking it my bench was at 330lbs, and i had a rack pull of 500 and after my first cycle it was a 350 bench and a 600lbs rack pull, i did a half cycle just to finish the bottle off n focused on hypertrophy.

This last cycle i started out at 370 bench and ended with a 405lbs bench

now ik most people would have a problem with it but i like to experiment with different supplements n workouts and what not so it was more curiosity than anything so i have no interest in competing in anything.

So as a prohormone SD90 to me definitely works and i even saw a 5-10lbs increase on bench or +2 reps on the first day as long as u get all 3 pills in beforehand.

But now that i hit my goal i wanted to go for a 500lbs bench next year but the more i think about it the less i care, unless i bang a 500lbs woman i wont really need to be that strong.

So my next goal will be "Thor" training, basically build up my shoulders and arms a bit more and lean out

Back day

warm up

-db curls- 40x10
              50x10
              60x10
-another variation with the 30s

-hammer curl- 60x2x10

-pull ups using a bar on a squat rack and my feet out on the floor 3x15 with a 2 count squeeze

-Light bent over rows(more of a pendlay row) my lower back burns out fast if i go heavy

 worked up to 185x10

db rows- 100x3x15

lat pulldown/seated row machine


nothing exciting, i keep it simple because seeing pictures when i was leaner of my back when i didnt have as much muscle as i do now, my back doesnt really need anymore work to it

tomorrow is shoulders

Today- overall i felt like i was at half power, hardly got any sleep and had a massive headache all day

315x5
325x1
335x1
355x1(felt easy but still kinda shitty)

Ill have to look up my other gym and see if they are open.

Actually just going to do a workout at home on my cable crossover and just do a full body workout tomorrow
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 28, 2012, 09:41:56 pm
Had to do quite a bit today, took in a 50 gram protein shake and 30 gram waxy maze beforehand

Lat pulldown- full stack 2x10
Row machine- full stack 2x10

Squats- worked up to 380, went a wee bit lower than normal- umm maybe 400 absolute max considering how 380 felt so yeah still pussy status

deadlift- worked up to 405x1- felt really fast and easy

1 arm db row- 100sx3x10

100lbs DB front squat- 3x5(worked on speed)

leg curls

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 06, 2013, 11:53:12 pm
With all of this  holiday bullshit(I despise holidays because it closes the gym down) ive had to do a push/squat/pull routine even though they turned into push/pull+squat because i was sick on the 2 thursdays and I had to work sat-tuesday all 12 hour shifts an hour away.

Getting back on track, the main things i did was just bench- 6-10 sets of 3x315, im sure last week i did about 10 sets idk why just did

deadlift i just worked up to 405, the first week of xmas the 405 was really easy, but last week  i worked from 5-3 and i basically do deadlifts all day long so my lower back was already shot

OHDB Press, worked up to 80s for 8-10 reps with leaning side raises

This coming week im going to switch it up

Mon will consist of incline pressing, heavier shoulder workouts, focus on deadlifts for awhile


Also, just started using chalk and i feel I have a better grip with that then straps and I will obviously get into a better deadlift position.

what else idk I have a job interview with dr. Pepper/Snapple which surprisingly enough is a 50,000 dollar a year job, so if thats the case I plan on buying the house i grew up in when i was a kid and building a massive gym that will take up most of the yard because I hate mowing the lawn.

that is all


ps bw is at 275 and keeping steady, so my strength is still somewhat as high as when i was on the SD but down 6 pounds

ME                             DE

the upperbody day will just be bw exercises and machine work, the other days focusing on dbs and barbells

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 04, 2013, 10:16:27 am
Watched a few old videos of mine, well a lot of them over the weekend at work and kinda pissed me off that I let myself go that much to just to have a bigger bench and be bigger than everyone at the gyms I went to.

So over the weekend i decided to clean my shit up like my diet and my training.

as far as my diet goes

Breakfast (8:00am)-  3 hashbrowns(what can i say they are good and i needed the calories) and a bowl of cereal, maybe 1.5 servings of kashi oats n twigs shit
1030- 90 calorie bar snack
1200- Turkey (slide from the deli) salad with some cheese dressing idk
3:00- 90 calorie bar or banana
5:00- same salad
7:00- 90 calorie bar
9:00- salad

I used 1 bag of salad probably a 16oz one a day or 8 I cant remember and I tried for  1lb of turkey a day

TO me that looks a lot but i think i might not have reached my caloric intake so ill figure it out now

the counter im using says
400 calories for 1lb of sliced Turkey
80 for the salad
1504 for the cheeeeeeese
675 for the dressing
540 for the bars

those are for the weekend so roughly 2400 calories a day(just figured in the hashbrowns and the 1 bowl of cereal)

So i did good i guess but ill switch to a lite dressing and take out a salad when my new protein comes in



But anyway the workout

10 minutes on the shit idk what it is some cardio thing


Supposed to be timed warm up but ill just do like 10 reps since its supposed to be 15 seconds each
Used 135lbs
RDL-x10
Bent over Rowx10
Cleanx10
Push pressx10
Front squatx10

Speed Benching- 225x3x2
Heavy flys 30x3x15
Plyo push ups 3x5 each
          -  For these i put 2 5 boards on their sides(what u use for benching)  and started on the ground inbetween then pushed up onto the board etc etc

machine press and machine fly

3 sets
Jump ropex50
spiderman push upsx10


How I felt- did not eat enough and even 135 in my hand felt heavy.  I had to stop halfway between the warm up to catch my breath cuz its 20 degrees out right now and they have the fucking air conditioner on.


I went down to the court and i can still touch the rim!!! haha barely but i did it off 2 feet

weight- 273.8
Friday I believe my weight was 279.4

-5.6lbs and i drank a shit ton of water over the weekend.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 06, 2013, 06:56:53 pm
My newer rim at home is holding up but i snap the bolt that you slide through to put it at different heights.  And the hoop at the rec Ive bent one of them sideways back in the day.

My goal weight will be a good lean 200-210, if i can get to 190s I'd be happy but for now setting short term goals.

right now im down to 275 and easing around there, the 273 was probably just less food intake

I make nutrition bars at a factory and btw nutrition bars aren't nutritious.  Anyway though I have to constantly transport the syrup liquid to 3 different spots before it gets mixed with the powders n the shit ranges from 8lbs-150lbs for 12 hours.  No help and i made it halfway through work today and strained my back since no1 was helping me.  So i am hashtag pissed off, idk what hashtag means but ive seen it on facebook.

But I wont let it slow me down

All of my shoulder workouts will mainly be seated and I am leaving in a bit to go do a half marathon on the stationary bike and do the routine and finish off with another half marathon

Anybody know where to get good semi cheap olympic lifting style shoes, I found a few for 100 and people said they were good but the heels were a big too soft but good for if your just doing crossfit(which im not) but i dont plan on being a pro oly lifter
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 26, 2013, 10:15:41 pm
Eastbay has a 15% off deal going on so i just went with the shoes on there, fairly cheap, with the discount came to 87 dollars, they arent "olympic" shoes but more for the crossfit people, idk the heel is .6" so idk probably high enough, plus idk how much longer my jordans will last, they are getting pretty beat up.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 27, 2013, 11:16:34 pm
Today was shoulders, nothing special to report really except i tried handstand pushups and I got 2 haha they are hard but instead of going straight down ontop of your head I was going down with my chest towards the floor so idk if that made it harder or not.

But yeah tomorrow is legs and I plan on warming up with heavy cleans

reviews on my shoes

not the most comfortable shoes but they have to be a hard sole and I have wide feet and these are meant for narrow feet but ill man up.
It felt like it was easier to OH squat and do thrusters in these.

Overall pretty good so far, ill know more tomorrow but today is shoulders and i have no clue what I have written down for it
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on March 06, 2013, 05:01:51 pm
be careful with those routines, man. circuit training is fine and pushing yourself is fine but some of that shit is like tailor-made to fuck up your shoulders and wrists.

Post by: LBSS on March 15, 2013, 11:51:55 am
keep up the good work, man, seems like you're making good progress and considering how big you are you're in pretty damn good shape. be careful about some of those crossfit workouts, though. sumo dl high pulls are a terrific way to fuck up your shoulders.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 15, 2013, 10:06:32 pm
yeah i dont go balls out on those, somewhat slow and controlled, plus ive been doing a lot of mobility work before the workouts and a good warm up, so far no problems.  And for my size I think  I am in pretty good shape, Ive been out performing everyone i workout with and i outweigh them by 15-90lbs

todays weight-(after burger king)....well they have the mix and match for 5 dollars, couldnt resist.

266lbs

this morning I worked on cleans, I watched a video of i think they call him coach burgener or something, anyway he made it clear that im doing basically retarded high pulls, worked on form for a bit and decided to go heavy.

worked up to 230-new PR, pretty good considering that I am sore all over and i didnt have anything to eat before the workout, so ill see how good i am next week, hopefully 240 or so.

went again tonight even though ive been doing 3 rest days and did this

10 mins on the minute

12 pull ups
8 push ups
4 front squats-135lbs


being 16lbs heavier than when I was at my old gym, I am starting to look like when i was in the 250s already
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 16, 2013, 08:40:58 pm
I am currently at work and super bored so ill put in the changes that I've made to this weeks workouts

Monday- Legs

I know my box front squat(a lil above parallel) is or was 365 but not my free squat so I will just use 225 this first week to experiment with.

Front squat- 2 rounds, the number of reps is the number of breaths (rest period) i take between each rep, after each round ill take a minute break
1 rep, break, 2 reps, break, 3 reps, break, 4 reps, break, 5 reps, 1 minute break then another round

then the DB circuit
lunges

then the ladder

Last time i did these, i finished the ladder in 1:50 seconds so im going to increase the reps to 15

Snatch- 75lbs
High pulls-95lbs
push ups
OH squats-75lbs

if this doesnt get the blood flowing enough even though it should, next week ill throw in pull ups

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 16, 2013, 08:43:08 pm
Tuesday

Deadlift week for "back"

this is gonna suck

on the minute every minute for 5 minutes

deadlift- 275x5
Heavy DB row(2 handed)- im guessing 70s or 80sx5

Morning-

did the wod 12.5 and made it to round 18

 it wasnt that it was super hard, just my back and shoulders were already worn out from previous workouts so i felt the burn pretty quick

did some walking twists with a 45 and went to the hardware store to pick up a 4ft pvc pipe.  My old foam roller is soft and doesnt do anything really anymore so i just tried the pvc out and having it on my upper ass/lower back for about 30 seconds got rid of the pain.


gonna go buy some epsom salt, a actually timer so idont have to keep checking my phone for how much time i have left in the circuits, and someother shizz


todays workout is "chest"

idk same as what i posted earlier i guess

circuit 1- team circuit so as many rounds as we could in 10 minutes(it ran to 13 minutes cuz he took so long), 5 reps each, barbell stuff was 135lbs

sumo high pulls
db swings-60lbs
power curls

we each did 4 rounds, i think, my rounds were about a minute and his rounds were well over twice as long as mine, he was going amazingly slow and taking breaks when he just wanted to run down time.  Also bitching and moaning, oh i cant get into it today blah blah blah it was pissing me off but i just let it slide

If i did it by myself i could have gotten probably 8 rounds or more done

lat pulldown- 175lbs
row(had the seat low to try and get a good squeeze in the middle
back extensions(50lb db)


clean- 135
pull ups

3 rounds about 10 reps each


ladder- 1-1-2-2-3-3- etc to 8, was going to do 10

clean-135
pull ups

if we did 10 then we would have ran out of time, he legit fucking took a 30 second break before he did the first round, it was 1 FUCKING CLEAN! and he kept doing that throughout, last time i did this with bench i was pouring with sweat and i was using heavier weight, i felt fresh throughout

then some ab work


with tomorrows workout im just going to throw my headphones on so i cant hear him so hopefully he doesnt try to talk and waste time

2 kids in the gym today lined up next to eachother in front of the mirror and looked at their stomachs, one was just skinny and the other super fat.  It will make me appreciate having my own gym if i get into corrections because I will decide who joins and who doesnt. idk what hashtag means but hashtag i have public fucking gyms

also noticeable gains, weight lol around 270 but

trapz- a lot bigger
and even though im not as lean as I was I can still tell that my back is waaaay bigger than the last time i posted a picture on here

my arms are staying the same with bassically zero direct arm work
legs are a lot bigger, i even ripped my pants that i wear for work(the thighs were super tight, it looked like i had those 70s bellbottoms or whatever the hell they are called on)
sadly my chest is staying the same

w/r/t rain tax: not white house, not sure where you heard that. just maryland, where governor o'malley signed a law last year, passed by the maryland legislature, authorizing a tax on impervious surfaces (ones that don't absorb any water when it rains) for 10 counties and baltimore. basically a small fee levied to help pay for upgrading stormwater management systems. it's up to individual counties how to implement it.

ooo, someone told me they want to start it in new york but maybe they were misinformed. 
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on April 15, 2013, 08:41:26 pm
i mean some places already do impervious surface taxes. the town next to my hometown, for example, and my girlfriend's hometown. it's a pretty sensible thing to tax, really. for maryland, the bay and its tributaries aren't going to clean themselves up, that shit is expensive. hardtop and roofs and stuff are among the leading contributors to water pollution. solution: tax owners of things that harm the environment to help clean up the environment that we all help damage.

If 270 reps (9 rounds) are completed in under 12 minutes, time extends to 16 minutes

of course this will be modified with fat man pull ups and a lighter thruster

I am going to try and find a deck of cards and the exercises will be hmmmm
xfit push ups
squats

sit ups
med ball throw- with my new 1 I made.  My dad hit my basketball with the lawn mower so i filled it with sand, used shoe goo and duct tape.  I think its about 20-25lbs but ill weigh it at the gym

Ill only have mon, tues, wed, friday to workout this week

Morning I might get to the gym before work, If I do then

1 mile run

then some wod

later

Front squat- maybe 5x3
225
230
235
240
245

These were all as far as i could go down, the 240 and 245 i did 3 singles to save my wrists, used a closer grip n it worked out a lot better.  I also have to fix my posture before the next squat workout, I think thats whats making me lift a lot less than I was
Cleans- 185x2x10 minutes OTMEM

The cleans went good, i did 2 reps instead of 3 but I didnt use straps and I went off the floor, which I never do.  Some of the reps went up a hell of a lot easier than I thought they would have.

Last WOD

Bike 3000 meters
75 Kettlebell swings, 1.5 pood
Air squats-100 reps
60 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
Run 800 meters
45 Pull-ups

for the KB swings I used 45lbs, did 45 reps, break then 30 reps.

air squats, did 5 sets of 20 with 2 leg shakes inbetween

med ball throws broke it up into 2 sets

the run was shitty, my legs were fried, hardest half mile ive ever done

the fatman pull ups, idk i dont think im going to do them anymore, i cheat on them anyway most of the time cuz i find them pointless and just want to get them over with.

basically all week was high rep shit, nothing new and today after work(1030pm to 6am) I went to the gym and tried to see how fast I could get 1000 wallball throws.  It took me 50 minutes But i could have gotten it faster because I was shooting to go for 2 hours but after the first hour after my rest I was fried.

today

went to the gym...for free, the people that work there never stand by the front desk so I was happy

I've been watching a lot of barbell shrugged podcasts and they had louie on there talking about how to incorporate west side in a crossfit routine.

I may do the workouts i posted earlier or yesterday i cant remember, definitely the morning one but I might move the cleans to the morning.  The afternoon workout, i may switch the Fsquat to a heavy doubles free then box. and idk I have it all written down, I guess ill go based on how I feel.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 12, 2013, 03:18:09 pm
This morning

did jackie, took me forever because I tried to do the run too fast and it killed me

before that I did cleans off the floor.

135-155-175-195-215(i think this might be a new pr from the floor)

soon I'll be heading out to figure out what I wanna do
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on August 12, 2013, 03:24:49 pm
much as i disparage crossfit i love following this journal. somehow it is very entertaining. how much do you weigh now? competition plans anytime soon?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 13, 2013, 09:01:59 pm
I wont be able to compete for a long time haha Id say by the time I'm 26 or so, im 24 now.

my weight id say around 258 or so still, ill lose a bit of weight, pause for awhile, lose weight quickly again then pause, its a bitch.

I have a feeling my squats and everything are going to shit because all of the knots appeared again in my back and hips are a wee bit off so my form isnt what it was when I started.

If anyone has tips since I'm just winging it, its somewhat hard to find the balance between strength and doing the metcons.

This morning I did

DE Push

Incline Bench press- worked up to a few sets of doubles with 225
Push press- 6x2x155
side db raises
front rack DB walk
2 rounds
1 min incline db press
seated shoulder press

few hours ago

Jerks, worked up to 235
did a few sets of snatches, sumo high pulls at 135
DB high pulls

Jump rope- for ever 100 I got in the 5 minutes I did  10 burpees after, got a 589 count so I did 59 burpees and 59 push ups

Tomorrow is a pull day.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 13, 2013, 09:03:24 pm
Also the ultimate goal is to open my own CF gym in Ithaca, NY and compete in the games before I'm 30.  If I do then I will have to idk put a laxative in rich fronings drink before each event so hopefully it slows him down.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2013, 09:14:51 am
About to head out for the ME pull day

Hamstrings are sore as balls so Ill deadlift based on how I feel so I dont snap a hammy

but I'm thinking working up to

deadlift- 5x1x?
PRows-  5x1
DB Deads- 5x10
lat pulldown
straight arm pulldowns
KB swings
back extensions

later today I will just pick like 3 WODS or 2 or whatever I feel like to do for the cardio aspect, even this workout I will keep the rest periods shorter than I normally would have during the whole bodybuilding and strength getting fat phase
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on August 14, 2013, 10:38:27 am
well you could compete in PL or something in the meantime.

and i bet if you focused harder on cutting some fat and got down to maybe 220 or 230 you'd do pretty well at CF. although i guess i don't see you doing muscle ups, handstand push ups, double unders, and some of the other stuff that really improves with concentrated practice.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2013, 01:00:11 pm
yeah I've tried handstand push ups and a bit too heavy for them, handstand walks is a no right now and I'd practice muscle ups if I could but I'd have to have someone weigh down the tower on the other side so I dont flip it haha.

I'll give everything a try when I cut weight probably around 220, ultimately I want to be 195 or 200


This morning had to change it up a bit

Rack pulls below knees(hammys still sore as hell) just did singles from 315-355
PRows- worked up to a single of 185
Powerlifter rows- 315x10

        WHat i mean by powerlifter rows is I've seen a lot of powerlifters just side the bar up their legs for bent over rows, but I'm practicing what john north calls the catapult technique for more hip drive through the cleans and I figured thatd be a good thing to get stronger at.

DB deadlifts- worked up to the 100sx10

Lat pulldown- worked up to a heavy 5 then back down and did a set of 10 while holding at the bottom

Some arm work and to finish it off

Some people came in to get a idea of the equipment in the gym, and I pissed the old chicks off after they told the people we dont need new equipment, but I budged in and hopefully because of me we will be getting rowers and maybe some hammer press machines and bumper plates
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2013, 07:10:17 pm

Post by: seifullaah73 on August 20, 2013, 06:44:31 pm
I have to ask since i see you do power cleans.

when you reach the part where you use the hip to push the bar up to the top do you attack the bar with your hip to make it go up or is the bar touching the hip and your are just pushing it up like standing hip thrusts and then come under the bar.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 20, 2013, 08:37:50 pm
I hit the bar with my hips, its how jon north explained how he teaches it in a pod cast.  I think I hit it hard with the light and medium weights like 135-205 then above that ill hit it with the top of my thighs or hips but itll be like the standing hip thrust.  Idk I'll go to a olympic gym sometime in the future and learn the right way haha
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: seifullaah73 on August 21, 2013, 07:39:29 am
I say this because i don't know how to do it and when i tried attacking the bar with my hips, and it hit my pelvis bone and that was painful, so that's i was wondering how can anyone attack the bar with the hips like there is a space between your hips and the bar and then you attack it with your hips and won't that really hurt your hip area as you are attacking a heavy metal bar with your hips.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 21, 2013, 10:34:19 am
maybe change your grip so its a tad bit higher or lower than where you are now.  Im about to head to the gym for my pull day and what I can do is warm up with cleans and tape it on my phone.  Also remember I am in no way a olympic lifter, my form i think is just good enough so I dont get injured haha
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 21, 2013, 04:31:22 pm
vid cam wouldnt last long enough so i need a new sd card

Felt really weak and my lifts today will show it haha

worked up to doubles of 185 for cleans, a lot weaker than normal

other then that, deadlifts, bent over db rows, lat pulldowns, nothing exciting

185 push pressx3
     - minutes 5-9

seated shoulder press- drop set(machine)

ab work

Rough idea of what Ill be doing in a half hour

Incline Bench

Yeah its peaceful, if i could somehow do everything throughout the day that I do now while sitting on a toilet, I'd do it in a heart beat


Incline bench
135x5
185x5
205x5
225x3(all paused
255x1

havent gone heavy on bench in a while and i mean it sucks now but the 255 wasnt too bad, i probably have 275 in me

I had another training partner quit on me without telling me.  What I'm doing now i do with the guy I train and he has dropped a lot of weight and he went to the drs and hes off of his high blood pressure medication or at least most of it and its back down to normal.  So basically I'm going to hold auditions for a training partner for now on cuz im sick of scheduling my day around theirs to make it work.

end rant

Incline db press(alternating hands)
60x5 each
70
80
100

tricep work

a lot of different push ups variations

Post by: seifullaah73 on August 23, 2013, 07:44:29 am
I have an idea set up a gym in your bathroom, and you can do everything you do now while on the toilet.

Sit on the toilet, with barbell in your hand, lean back and do your incline bench that should work and that's what you did today, you can also do overhead press seated, single leg box squats, but you will have to stand up and sit down so maybe you would have to control yourself.

seated bicep curls, seated dips.

the opportunities are endless
lmao

cleaned my car, had to bleach my seats and clean my door

jerks- worked up to 235- fairly fast

some side raises

idk someother shit

went to the store to pick the stuff up for my car just smelling like a dirty ball sack, i almost puked a few times driving to auburn, idk wtf my buddy ate but it ended up all over my door.

today

bench- just did some speed sets at 215
incline- alternating db presses with the 60s
flyes
worked on getting the snatch with a squat.


did the bar until i got the movement down
then went up by 5lbs every set, did 3 reps and didnt move up until i had a perfect one.

I think i did 125, coming up i walked forward though haha oh well, the weight wasnt heavy just need more work with it.

tomorrow I will probably work on my cleans with a squat catch

jesus christ, the 1.75 mile run holding a 20lb med ball wasn't enough shoulder work? how long did that take you?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 29, 2013, 04:38:33 pm
It took awhile and a lot harder than I thought haha, I used the treadmill since we cant have anything out on the track since they think it will fall on someone down below on the court.

I used about 6-7mph and I underestimated it so I havent done my shoulder work yet haha, they were burning and probably one of the hardest and most uncomfortable thing I've done.

Time wise I'm not sure, the burpees took the longest though.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 29, 2013, 07:01:21 pm

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 30, 2013, 09:38:13 pm
yeah, the night guard had to go to the Cornell museum of finger painting n shit art because someone "important" was getting married so they expected some massive wedding so I had to take on like 6 hours of his first shift then another 4 of his other shift. then got home at 1130 at night n woke up at 4 to go to work today at my other job where i actually do manual labor for another 10 hours.

Im getting a pain in my hip/ass so i might lay off the lower body work this week and just do shitty bodybuilding gay bullshit for my upperbody and work on stretching everything out and on friday see if it feels better.


But I may get a job doing the nuclear shutdowns and it pays 25.00 an hour working 7 12 hour shifts a week for 2-3 weeks, so if i can get 10 3 week runs then in a few years if you can prove you're an adarq.org member you get a free membership at my gym, what whaaaat

Hang squat clean- worked up to 210(new pr)

Fsquat- just did 3 quick singles of 225

1 legged box squat holding a 30lb db
calf raises

good nuff

we didnt finish work today so we are doing it tomorrow and I'll be home by like 9 or earlier so im just gonna finish up legs and do some metcons in the morning n go back later and do push or just do it all at once, not sure yet

Post by: John Stamos on November 30, 2013, 12:06:49 am
Chest/tris (this has to be done on a smith machine, or if you have a squat rack that allows you to do this then get a partner to spot you)
working set 1(4 sets to this giant set and no breaks in between each exercise)
 
                                      Bench press- 4 sets, start with heavy weight for 1 rep, then lower it, im thinking(ill be by myself)
                                                          275x1
                                                          225x?
                                                          185x?
                                                          135x?

                                  Floor push upsx20
                                          1st notchx20
                                          2nd notchx20
                                          3rd notchx20
BW tri extension on smith machine 4th notchx20
tricep push upx10
                                        -For the bench press I went 380-315-225-135
 
Giant set 2(your muscles will be cooked already so dont expect a lot of weight to be used)
DB Incline press- 45x15
Hex press- 45x15
DB fly-30x15

 
Giant set 3
Ill think of something for this since I made this program when i had a good cable crossover to work with
 
End it with a close grip hammer press or machine press
 

I will also start each workout off with an Oly lift and later on for this week I will do this for cardio

1 mile run
200 medball wall ball shots
.5 mile run
100 medball wallball shots
.25 mile run
50 medball wallball shot
1.25 mile run


After this coming week i will switch that up but that will be a general outline of what ill be doing, i might switch the distance up or the exercise like burpees or thrusters instead
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on November 30, 2013, 12:07:39 am
back and bis
 
same format
Giant set 1
BW deadlift( deadlift a weight that is equal to your bodyweight)x as many as you can
bent over BB rows
pull ups(palms facing away from you)
barbell pullups
 
giant set 2
 
BB curl(go for a heavy 10-15 reps)
bent over BB curl(kinda like your rowing but the weight should be thigh level and so you can curl the weight up to your chest)
BB BW curl
 
super set 3
Lat pulldown(pause at the bottom for a 1 count and go slow throughout the movement)
low cable row(same idea)
 
finish with some rope curls
 
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on November 30, 2013, 12:08:27 am
I'll adjust these later

For a long time I havent been feeling the burn in my shoulders even though ive been going diesel on them, so i sat back and evaluated the situation and experiemented until i decided to do this
 
 
the sets that fix the problem
 
DB press- 15lbs(I shit you not)x100 reps
DB side raises- 15lbsx50 reps
 
Also not full range of motion, keep it on the bottom half to focus on the shoulders
 
giant set 1
 
Db press- 40x20
db front raise- 30x15
db side raise- 20x20
 
trapz- shrugs, bb, db, machine whatever you want, however you feel it works for you
 
Smith machine work
- upright rows- 100lbsx15
  Kneeling front shoulder pressx10
  kneeling rear shoulder pressx10
 
some rear delt work and they were pumped....super pumped
 
 
After the shoulder workout which was at 9:30pm I weighed in at 260.5 with shoes on so back in the 250s without them.
 
Starting weight- 250 then increased to 271- back to 260.5

depending on how I feel I may do a leg day tomorrow or do UB-UB-LB-UP-LB

soo im thinking (chest- back- legs- shoulders- legs

probably have the last leg day be my heavy one and do high rep shit on the other one, idk ill figure it out as i go
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on December 03, 2013, 12:08:50 am
10 minute mile at 270 pounds isn't all THAT bad. i mean it's pretty bad but if you lost some weight you'd be faster (obviously).
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 03, 2013, 07:30:45 am
Yeah I can definitely go faster, figured id try to pace myself but I havent done the wallball shots in idk how long, but after this week I will be used to it again i hope.


but off to do back and bis

the cardio is just going to be me doing some biking, maybe 5 miles or so
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 03, 2013, 09:49:42 am
Deadlift/bb row superset 4 rounds

used 265 i did idk 5 reps each round for deadlifts and 10 reps at 135 for bent over row

did the curl superset and the bike for 5 miles

idk not a whole lot to report on since idk i wouldnt even want to read how much someone was curling for their sets lol

later today i might do something, not quite sure yet.



Also, I talked to my buddy before thanksgiving and he is going to open a gym with his brother and wants me to join in.  I guess itll be a privateish gym to train hs and collegiate athletes, strongman shit.  So at least whenever that happens I will have access to good equipment and wont have to ******rig everything(figured id be nice and put the ** in)

worked up to 315 for a single for squats, the movement was easy but my legs were torn up

I might go back later to do some stuff

Strong lifts man. What are your goals right now?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 21, 2013, 03:20:54 pm
since I was 16 I always had the motivation and drive to workout and I had no problem getting to the gym after a long day or even when I was sick.  8 years later however many months ago I started to not care about going to the gym and had 0 drive.  so my goal is to get back to where I used to be mentally.  Then I could get back to where I had the 500#+ box squat or the 405#+ bench etc. etc.

forgot to put my weight and what i ate

normally before workouts i take my tropinol and eat a piece of bread so i dont feel sick during my workout but this morning I had maybe 11oz of cube steak with onions.

weighed in at 273.

trying to just keep carbs at 0-30 grams a day and just listen to my body when i need to up the amount.  I used to snack on chips(ik bad) but a 20lb box of almonds at work was damaged and they couldnt use it so I grabbed it before it got thrown out so ive been snacking on almonds.

low carbs and high fat n protein im trimming and progressively increasing each week.

This morning

Modified Open workout 14.2

Cleans-75lbs
wallball shots- 20lb

so you have 3 minutes to complete 2 rounds of 10 cleans and 10 wallball shots, then you take the rest of the 3 minutes to rest
Next 3 minutes you raise the reps from 10 to 12, same deal and every 3 minutes you keep raising it by 2 reps until you cant finish the 2 rounds in a 3 minute time cap

the original workout is OH Squats and pullups, but I hate OH squats right now and i couldnt do 1 round of pull ups lol

I completed a round of 16 and did some of 18, i gave up after like 5 reps of cleans for round 18 my body was just absolutely shot

in 2 hours I will be doing a chest day

I almost got into 2 car accidents this weekend driving to work, one old guy decided he wanted to pull onto the road as i was already turning n if it wasnt for forza 5 and kicking on the E Brake he woulda nailed me.  Second was theres a church in auburn thats by the road(2 lane) so people use the right lane.  This guy decided to drive up to the cars that are parked and without signaling or anything try to pull out in front of me,  i jammed my brakes and he did too so i yelled out come on cunt just go etc etc, he just sat there so i started to go then he started to go again and almost hit me twice. So i got out of my car and tried to go after him since i didnt think he had enough room to get out but he did unfortunately.  Also a weekend full of gay fucking easter sunday drivers thinking god is going to save them if they are doing 40 instead of 55.  Basically I'm irritated as fuck so instead of what i posted earlier, i did something else

cleans- worked up to 210 which pissed me off cuz i used to do a lot more
then i did the jump rope, air squats, snatches, and pullups.

im saving the db burpees for a leg day

im throwing the conjugate system into my training routine but not exactly

this week is

Mon-ME Chest
Tues-DE Back
wednesday random
thursday-ME shoulders
friday-DE Legs

next week
DE chest, ME Back, random, DE Shoulders, ME Legs


ima see how this works out, i have my doubts though.  If it doesnt then ill go full conjugate system but instead of some assistance work ill do wods or something

Post by: John Stamos on April 21, 2014, 02:56:38 pm
true that, i have to drive 102 miles each day so i encounter a lot of it

also, what do you think of doing my normal bodybuilding/crossfit set up but doing the me and speed days, waste of time and go with full on west side or try it out?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on April 21, 2014, 04:53:49 pm
i think it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. that's the main issue with @fit, it's kind of hard to use it to progress toward anything. so what's your main goal right now? if it's just to get in better shape and you refuse to do normal cardio,* i'd switch to more DE stuff (oly lifts but heavy, NOT for time or reps or some bullshit like that; power lifts for DE or heavy doubles/triples) and skill work (HSPU, double unders, KB work), plus more of the longer, grindier workouts, like eva, chelsea, jackie. and i'd do them submax but i'd do multiples. so like, maybe do jackie twice through but not try to murder myself on the first set. or eva x4 but forget about the pull ups. no crossfitter is doing real pull ups, anyway. SLAP tears are for idiots.**

*and i don't blame you if you don't, rowing 5000m sounds like hell.
**like me, maybe a little bit but hopefully it's just irritated. but from grabbing the rim, which makes it okay.***
***fuck.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 25, 2014, 06:42:16 pm
Yeah I think im going to keep the same set up, this week went decent, skipped yesterday cuz i felt sick, more stress from work than anything, didnt have anything to do with the workout.

Ill probably do the girls, jackie n then twice on DE days and ME days do longer skill work like the double unders n what not.

this coming week since i was so pissed at work i told my buddy/boss that im taking it off to relax since his brother pissed me off n he said its fine so ill be able to do shit in the morning.  I'll probably do the wods and skill work then and do a mile before my afternoon workouts

but thanks for the advice


as far as today went, i did zercher squats- worked up to 300lbs, not used to the pain in the arms yet, i used to rock 500lbs with this lift but ill get there.
box front skwat- worked up to 315lbs for 2 singles
db squat- worked up to a heavy 5 reps with 100lb dbs on my shoulders
some hammy work, went lazy today but oh well ill kick it up next week
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 28, 2014, 09:43:55 am
Trying to figure out what im gonna do this morning but I want to remind myself to do tabata push ups for my workout in the pm

Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2014, 01:40:18 am
Bro day, didnt do a whole lot, idk if its cuz of the high rep stuff or the functional training but whenever i do this and i try to do a isolation type movement i never feel it. so i did some straight bar curls and db curls and some tricep work, more or less a rest day

tomorrow is skwats
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2014, 03:54:54 pm

split squat- did it john meadows style so only 1 db is used and worked up to a set of 5 for each leg with 75lb dbs
hammy curls but leg cramped up quick so not a lot was done
ab work


I usually always stop about 10-15lbs shy of my max for that day, I feel as if I was good for about 390 on the back squat and probably 300 for front squat

not too shabby i guess

I think I might do my first powerlifting meet, a gym I used to go to a few years back is having one for the wounded warrior project.  I have absolutely no intentions of changing my training now for it but I figured I'd do it just for fun.  I think thats in about july or something, so idk hopefully im down in weight and up in strength by then
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on May 05, 2014, 12:02:39 pm
I didnt really eat a lot yesterday but i spent the day at work stretching and what not.  And I only got about 6 hours of sleep, I tried to get more but i went to bed at 1am and woke up at 7 and couldnt go back to sleep

This morning I did my OLY lifting and i was down about 10-15lbs from last week but im weighing in at 8lbs less than about the same time as last week.

Ill try to eat a big lunch and some carbs about 2 hours before my PM workout where i think its speed work again for chest

Post by: John Stamos on May 09, 2014, 05:35:30 pm
I felt like shit the last 3 days, pretty much had a 9-10 hour Metcon at work, today was only 5 hours since i got everyones ass in gear to get shit done a lot faster.

Post by: John Stamos on June 03, 2014, 10:50:04 am

Post by: John Stamos on June 19, 2014, 05:21:39 pm
Ive just been working long hours from 6-7 days a week lately and been lazy as shit at the gym but its going to calm down next week.

I just ordered a set of bumpers and a new bar from Rogue and I havent felt like going to the gym after work but if i had a weight set at my house I woulda done Grace or something but now I can.  Im just going to make a shitty oly platform or just get some plywood and put the rubber mats on it so my bumpers dont get too fucked up

Ive been hanging around the same weight and its because of my wknd job so I'm going back on my shelby starnes diet for the wknd only for now.  During the week i have to wake up at 4 to go to work and its just a pain in the ass but I am taking a test for a new job and im sending my apps out to be a CO in NC so shit should start getting a bit better
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 02, 2014, 06:22:25 pm
The bumpers are a big help so i dont have to drive to the gym twice a day and have some old fucks complain because while I'm doing my olympic lifts, they jump on the bikes right behind me and then complain to the front desk saying they are scared that im going to fling the bar at them.  Ive also started doing a bit more cardio, yesterday was 20 minutes of walking with an incline, was going to do 30 minutes but i kept having to adjust my balls so I got irritated and jumped off.  This morning I did 20 minutes on the arch trainer and my fatass now was whooped afterwards.

I've switched to squats n shit on monday, tues is chest, wednesday is back, thursday is shoulders n friday is a free day which I will use for random shit or if i dont do anything one day then i have a free day to push things off a day.

My lifts are severely down and my gut is severely poofed out.  I lost motivation for a long time after working 6-7 days a week but I received my convass letter from the state about an interview for the corrections officer job that i took the test for idk a year n 3 months ago.  I know the fitness test is easy so I'm not too worried about that but Id like to drop the weight that ive been saying i want to drop for a year now so i can be fairly light in the academy since bw movements are my kryptonite.


The academy is a winter one so assume it starts in november/december

from july-november I want to go from 278 :uhhhfacepalm:  to 228, that gives me 10lbs loss a month

Here is my punishment if I don't

Idk if everyone knows about the speech jammer, but it messes me up fairly bad, makes you sound like you have a bad speech impediment and idk its just fucks with you and I will post myself trying to pick up random girls while using it.

I will also pick 3 Hero WOD's....yes the very hard ones and I have to do them back to back to back no matter what.

So i have a physical punishment and a mental/emotional punishment haha
Title: Re: Eric's Journal

Tonight I'm thinking about heading to the gym to do a wod n some cardio before it closes and my diet that im applying for the weekend which will technically start tomorrow since I have to work my 12 hour shifts fri-sunday is...

Work Diet WKND

Meal 1: 30g carbs, 45g protein, 3g fish oils

Meal 2: same as meal 1 (switch this with any meal to make it your postworkout meal)

Meal 3: 45g protein, up to 2 cups veggies, 1.5 tablespoon all natural peanut butter or almond butter

Meal 4: same as meal 3

Meal 5: same as meal 3

Meal 6: 45g protein, 2600mg evening primrose oil, 1 teaspoon macadamia nut oil OR extra virgin olive oil


Protein: chicken, lean cuts of steak, fish, turkey, egg whites (ratio of 6 egg whites to 1 whole egg), whey, caseinate, any high quality, low-fat, low-carb protein powder

Veggies: broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, asparagus, salads, cucumbers, pickles, spinach,

Carbs: oatmeal, rice, potatoes, yams, cream of rice, Ezekiel bread

 

You can use any zero calorie condiments and spices to your meals. Also feel free to drink any zero calorie beverages at any time (diet soda, crystal lite, coffee, tea, etc.).

I cooked up 5lbs of chicken and i have more lean burgers to cook up for probably sunday depending on how much chicken I eat.  I also had this diet made up for me a long time ago by Shelby Starnes, and when I used it for 2 weeks before I became broke cuz I wasnt working that much compared to now, i think i lost a pants size or 2.

Im thinking about doing this monday morning after legs.

With the stress of working for dumbasses n buying another car that wasnt rebuilt the right way, ive gone the opposite direction that i wanted to go..and getting sick yesterday, who fucking gets sick during summer? This guy.  No reason for excuses, theyre like assholes, everyones got one n they all stink.  But with the crossfit games n hitting 225 clean n press for a double from the floor, its lit a fire under my ass.  Ik ive said it a million times but this time is different, no excuses, no more i dont feel like working out today.  Im already a month behind on my weightloss goal but that just means i have to step it up a bit.

This morning i did some db stuff for everything.  Tomorrow morning will be oly lifts and tire flips

Hex Press- 60sx4x10
tricep work
machine work

unless i'm misreading it, this sounds basically impossible. no way can anyone do 28 reps of cleans and 28 of wall balls in a minute, let alone every minute for three minutes. or did you mean one round of cleans and one of wall balls per minute? even that sounds damn hard.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 01, 2014, 06:55:50 pm
yeah I probably shouldve worded it better haha

first round I did

I had a 3 minute time cap to do 2 rounds of 6 cleans and 6 wallballs, the time i had left before the 3 minutes was my rest

then i just add 2 reps to each clean and wallball

I generally finished each round in 2:00-2:10 minutes

This morning

Squats- did 225x3x5 with a 4-3/5-"fast" tempo, so 4 seconds down, sat in the whole for 3-5 seconds then just went up as fast as I could
        -  This wore me out quite a bit and did a few 1 1/4 squats with dumbbells and that was it for that i felt like i was gonna pass out

recovered for a bit and did hammy curls and rode the bike for 10 minutes

now im resting and if i feel good by noon or so ill go out and do grace with a lighter weight

Just did some cleans, from the floor(power clean) into a hang clean with a squat catch.  I did that from 95(up by 10s on each side) to 195.  then I just went from the floor to power clean and I thought i had 230 on the bar, just trying to pr my last one by 5lbs but i fucked up and only had 225 on it.  I gotta say though that it was easier.

Bitched out on deadlifts today, decided to do sumo which i havent done since i was 18 or so, well heavy anyway and during my warm ups i heard a pop and a lot of pain in my foot like something tore
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on November 28, 2014, 08:06:59 pm
Along with the foot fucked up i think i jerked a lil bit when it happened and my lower back is fuuucked, last night i thought it was my hip and i couldnt get a lot of sleep but after moving around its my lower back but I was stupid and squatted anyway today.

135x5
185x2
225x1
275x1
315x1
345x1
355x1
370x1
375x1
385x1
400x1
        - No belt or knee sleeves or anything, felt like i had maybe another 10-15lbs in me and it was a fullish squat, definitely below parallel.

Some leg curls and just laying down the pain shot to my quads so i did a bit and left, currently have a hot pad on it and just going to stretch n rehab it this weekend.  Might squat again on monday so I can get into that routine again so my legs wont be dead as fuck by the time friday comes around.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on November 29, 2014, 03:33:13 pm
man take it easy. don't push for no reason, if you're hurt be hurt.

and maybe get back to dropping some weight? i know being heavy make everything harder on your back.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on November 29, 2014, 07:47:56 pm
Yeah i was expecting to be crippled this morning but my back feels good, no pain at all.  I will up the cardio a bit and throw in more volume.  Lately the diet is consisting of rice n chicken with a bagel, turkey bacon n coffee.  Thanksgiving was rough but screw it, i only eat cheesecake on holidays.  Im thinking that im going to do light volume or speed work after heavy skwats n deadlifts so heavy squats speed deads etc.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 01, 2014, 08:14:04 am
Of course I was all jacked up to go to the gym today but last night at work about 2hrs before I had to leave i got a massive headache n then i felt like I was going to either puke or shit myself.  After the worst 1hr drive ever i barely made it to the bathroom and puked up all of the soup i had yesterday...soooo i guess I saved about 600 calories.  Anyway I feel decent but I'll be waiting until later to go to the gym just in case
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 02, 2014, 06:15:43 pm

Skwaats
warm up sets 135-225
275x1
315x1
345x1
365x1
390x1
405x1
        -390 felt shitty cuz i let hair out at the bottom and i guess it caused me to tip forward a bit
        -405 felt a lot easier than 390 but still probably 95% of my max.
Progress is slowing down for Squats so my noob gains are just about done.  Going to start working on heavy triples or doubles and increase and do high box squats(1 or 2 inches high) so i can have a heavier load on my back.  Probably do 2 weeks triples n 2 weeks doubles.
Dropped to 225 and 135 and did rep outs

4 sets of doubles for speed deadlifts at 225

db squats, 55s, 65s,75s
hammy curls
15 mins on a bike
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 09, 2014, 12:20:26 pm
On Friday I believe I weighed 295 eeek

Over the weekend I did a low-no carb diet with increased fat mainly from almonds.
- The most carbs I had were from the sub rolls on my sub then the rest of the day was 1 light bowl of progresso soup and i snaked on turkey sammich meat for the weekend.
-Yesterday i had some eggs in the morning, lunch was a 1lb chicken breast stuffed with steamers veggies n rice, dinner i had another one and for some reason that just filled me right up.
I believe Im sensitive to gluten,  cutting the carbs out or eating 50gs or less gives me more energy, usually I feel like i have to nap a nap around 1 or 2pm but now im wide awake all day and sadly all night.

Todays weight- 290lbs after a bagel and 10oz of water
Workout
Bench- worked up to 305 for a single, felt easy, just didnt want to get up near my max again cuz of what i did next
-dropped to 225 and picked 25 reps i had to do, succeeded with 15, took a break, did 3, took a break did 2 and my triceps were just fucked
-dropped to 165, did 20 without break, then 5, break then 5.

my breaks were about 15-20 seconds each at most.
Incline DB Flyes- worked up to 40sx10
       -Usually go a lot heavier but I haven't done them in forever and just testing out my shoulder
Lying tricep extensions, 10 reps from 25lb dbs-40lbs
lat pulldown pushdowns 2 rounds 10-15 reps each
tricep rope pushdowns- 85lbs
1 arm tricep rope pushdown-40lbs
vbar pushdowns- 130lbs

gonna go eat, relax and hit back later tonight
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2014, 12:55:36 pm
Weight- 287 last night so a drop of 8lbs so far
Back last night

Deadlift- worked up to 405
rack pulls just below knees- 315x3x5 just focusing on dem hips
lat pulldown for 4 sets with the straight bar and 4 sets with the handles
ab work on the lat pulldown doing standing crunches
bike for 15 minutes

Today theres a storm hittin NY and the roads are nasty in my area cuz they suck dick at plowing, so i will either just wait to see what its like later or just hit it hard tomorrow morning.

eating- it seems I've accidentally fallen into a intermitten fasting type program but im just not hungry until about 11.
ive been eating almonds and cashews until my chicken is finished cooking which should be done any minute
2 stuffed chicken breasts with peas and carrots and a bit of shredded cheese with some sauce.

This morning did 3 rounds of
OH press with 135x10

db side raises and other dumbbell work and bicep work.

Later tonight ill do idk maybe a half hr bike ride, and little shit like forearms and some trap work.
I have to get some arch supports for my shoes, I'm hoping thats the problem because id like to get back into running again since after my interview next friday for the county to be a CO, i have to do the mile n a half run. 
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 12, 2014, 04:00:19 pm
Later is skwaats

just now I cooked my food for idk 4 days and figured id count calories n macronutrients again

I made stuffed chicken with veggies n cheese

totals for 10lbs of stuffed chicken

7000 calories
264grams of fat
136 grams of carbs
1096 grams of protein

The protein seemed high but it said 24 or 25grams per 4oz and theres 16oz to a pound so im assuming its right lol

spread this over 4 days and throwing in my almonds n cashews that will be my snacks with a few other things i bought im looking at probably 12-14k calories per week.

I probably will just eat 1 chicken breast per day this weekend since ill be working and I dont do shit at work so that will make it go 5 or 6 days.

so assume 12k calories for the week and assume i burn idk 2500 a day which i know its more than that but use it at as base.

so as long as i can keep at the 12k a week mark ill be burning about 1.5lbs or so which is what i want.  But just in case I'm going to throw in cardio saturday mornings before work.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 12, 2014, 04:26:08 pm
I figured id put the price as well

Walmart prices in NY unfortunately, i hate walmart but its cheaper than everywhere else near me.

Chicken breast-10lbs- 22 dollars, i think it might be closer to 11lbs
veggies- 2 dollars
cheese- 4 dollars

again throughout the week i will be snacking on cashews and turkey sammich meat n what not.

fucked the protein count up, should be 1000 grams  but still probably what i said with it being almost 11lbs worth
Title: Re: Eric's Journal

Still have the job that ive had since 2011 but i had an interview tonight with the county to be a CO, of course at 6 at night on a friday in downtown syracuse.  Absolutely no parking spots, i drove around for close to an hour trying to find one and couldnt and i called the people to tell them and nothing.  I finished everything for the State to be a CO which pays a lot more so thats just a waiting game, probably in the academy by june.  I also have another interview for Nucor, a steel plant in january for the second round of interviews.  Pretty much I have a lot of interviews lol but if for some reason none of them work out, I have 2 years of straight training to be a Seal, I figured that might be a good direction to head in.

Caffeine and Kilos

Was feeling a big groggy n shit so I drank some left over coffee this morning uggh, a little less than half a pot or maybe it wasnt that ful idk, there was a good amount in it.

The Plan depending on how many people are in the weight room tonight

Skwaats- I went for a single last week so this week im going to work on heavy triples again

Last triple workout
 315x3
335x3
345x3
365x3
Box skwat- 385x3

This workout id like to hit for triples
325
345
355
375
385 without a box if my legs hold up, if not then i wont be mad. then progress with box skwaats

Speed deadlifts- im going to do 8 sets of 2 starting at 225 then just increasing maybe up to 315

DB skwaats
farmers carries possibly and some heavy hammy curls with some kind of cardio maybe walking, my foot feels a lot better i havent noticed stiffness or pain lately.

Next week, I bought a few Bud/s prep books for shits n giggs and was going to throw in some of their workouts 2-3x per week in the mornings. I'm going away from typical crossfit since im starting to have a hatred for it like i have for the toyota prius.

WHY DO I HATE CROSSFIT NOW
1. for one the paleo shit....gtfo
2. Glassman sits on his ass and makes i think an article said 5 million per year or more just by taking circuit training and slapping a name on it when he cant do any of the workouts himself
3. When I went full crossfit which is like going full retard, I was weak as hell, yes i lost weight but i lost a lot of muscle and strength.
4. I posted a funny picture on crossfits fb page and they immediately deleted it, it was 1 of the memes with the rock and the girl where the rock says Ok we are going to do cleans today, the little girl says cleans do you mean a regular clean or a squat catch clean and the rock gives her the look.  I thought it was funny, crossfit did not.

I gotta finish up my power dump n foam roll n hit the gym

LBSS, do you see anything I can change, I see my numbers in the squat are still going up but slowely.  I noticed that I had a hard time keeping upright with 415 and up on the way up and my back just feels like its on fire after a few sets in.

I am thinking that i need to stretch since i have the donald duck ass and I am thinking of doing more lower back work like RDLS and good morning.  Probably have to start doing more bb rows and db rows for helping to strengthen my upper back.

But if you see something I can change with my training then let me know and ill experiment a bit

Post by: LBSS on December 30, 2014, 03:35:59 pm
yeah if your butt wink is bad then spending a little extra time, like 3-4 minutes, doing some hip and ankle mobility stuff before you work out is not a bad idea. i'll dig up a vid of what i do right before squats, every time. dreyth does it too and his deep squat is super solid now.

depends on your goals, though. last i remember you were trying to lose weight and work on conditioning for a work physical. if that's me here's what i'm doing, roughly speaking:

1. get diet in order. infinite options here but pick something and be consistent about it. i think you get plenty of protein and veggies so as long as you're in a deficit here week to week you're probably doing okay.
2. lots of low-impact steady-state cardio. biking/stationary biking, uphill walking on the treadmill, maybe some light jogging mixed with walking. easy on the joints, long on the duration. 30 minutes on days when i lift, an hour on days when i don't. alternatively could do some chiller long circuits on lifting days and steady-state on non-lifting days.
3. stretch every day, with primary focus on opening hips, ankles, and thoracic spine. lmk if you want some ideas for a mobility routine.
4. low-volume weight lifting ~3 times per week. work up to a set or two of five for the big lifts (BP, squat, DL) and two or three sets of 8-10 for supplemental lifts (RDL, GHR, rows/pull ups, beach work. try to add weight over time but don't get too pressed about it.
5. at least one day of full rest per week.

that's basically it. you have the dedication/discipline to work out consistently, you just need a little bit of structure i think. i know you <3 circuits but crossfit-style circuits are in that weird medium-intensity space where they're too hard to let you recover from heavy work but too light to be building strength. not a great training focus for most people. you're better off building strength and muscle through PL/BB stuff and building a fitness base through low intensity cardio. still, they can be really fun, especially if you're working out with other people.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 31, 2014, 12:58:20 pm
yeah I will have to dig up some old stretching routines and right now I think as long as I can do a decent 5 mile run time I would be set for the Academy but that is not until June probably.  and yeah my diet has to get better but its not as bad as it used to be.  my weight loss has pretty much stalled but I can tell that my trapz, tris, chest, legs n back are all significantly bigger.  I have a navy seal prep book for bud/s that has stretching routines but ill look at yours as well.  My fav stretch is when youre on your back, ass against the wall and feet on the wall.  Really i cab combine chest n shoulders, i really dont care if my bench goes up, just want to get my pushups back up.  So that will free up 2 days to do low impact cardio n to recover more from deads till i do squats.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on December 31, 2014, 01:05:11 pm
by june, swim 500 yards in 7-8.5 mins, pushups in 2 mins: 100-120, sit ups in 2 mins: 100-120, pullups in 2 mins: 20-30, 1.5 mile run in 8:-10 mins. If i can get to 250 by then these numbers should be somewhat reachable.  When i was 250 i was able to do 800 pushups, 1k wallballs n 1500 jump ropes in about an hr n a half and run the 1.5 mile in just under 12 mins.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on December 31, 2014, 01:43:20 pm
yeah i think a lot of those numbers would improve just from weight loss. here's the hip video i was talking about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBHzXF-mVjY

fwiw i also add a bit of hamstring stretching and pigeon stretch to this sequence, at the end. hamstring is: plant the forward foot and shift the hips back and torso down until i feel a stretch, stretch/release. pigeon stretch is what it is, but always moving around a little and "pressing into the corners" as starrett puts it. not static.

Does Chris hickson still come on here btw?  Hes a stronger puller than I am obviously but it seemed like he hit 800 something at 1 point and then started to get weaker as time went on, didnt know if hes still jumping around in weight classes or not.

Yeah i saw a vid he posted like a month or 2 ago of bombing out on 800lbs, he got it maybe halfway or less and his nose blew up and the lilliebridges helped him up on it.  I just remember when he used to be able to smoke it.

                      - straight bar reverse grip- 115x3x10 focusing on a 2-4-2 tempo

Friday night i did a lot of arm week

This morning- didnt sleep well so i was groggy n shit so I didnt go and I'm going to start tracking how I feel.

Last skwaat session I felt really good id say 9/10

This workout
Feeling- 6/10
Bar feel- 7/10(how the weight feels on my back)

I lowered the volume because I wanted to get heavier triples instead of wearing myself out

bar-315 were warm ups

365x3
375x3(pr)
385x3(pr)
405x3(pr)
       -  This was a big confidence booster, I didnt feel great and yet now when I look at 405 I dont psych myself out and get intimidated.  I can look at it now and just have the confidence to say yup ima hit this easy

DB deadlifts for 10 reps, 80s, 90s, 100s
hammy curls- heavy single legs and then 3 sets of dub legs

bicep work

tomorrow morning some bw shit possibly and a lot of ab work

Steady weight at 294 which is bad BUT i think im getting leaner and my legs and upper body mainly back, trapz, arms and mid section are getting bigger and bigger

Thank you sir.  Soon I'm going to buy just a cheap belt and get some heavy duty knee sleeves to protect myself as the weights get heavier and heavier from this point.  I'll probably utilize them like the slanger, do as much work as I can raw then throw the belt n knee sleeves on.

This morning

idk weight, forgot to check.

bike for 30 minutes, nice and easy and I havent been sleeping well lately so it was just a groggy day like yesterday
3 sets of 20 reps for medball sit ups(thrown to a partner)

Tonight is chest and Tris


Also, I have been keeping my calorie count between 2k-2500 on the weekends and ill track it today to see if i can keep it around the 2500 mark.

Morning- bagel w/ whipped cream cheese and 5 slices of turkey bacon - believe thats 400 calories or so, lets say 450
Lunch just now- 1lb delmonico steak and a birds eye veggie thing with a serving of bbq sauce- 1000 or so total

Cal count so far- 1450

In college wed get hooked up to a machine that told us our body fat and shit like that and how many calories we burn in a day at rest and at 215 or so i was burning 2300 calories a day at rest.  I would assume that carrying much more muscle alone would raise that upwards of high 2ks.  After I get the state job ill be going to a hospital to have the water tests done to figure out my actual body fat and what not.

Last night was back, weighed in at 292, umm nothing to really report just my last night of doing stiff legged rack pulls and didn't go too heavy because I slept wrong and my back was fucked.

This morning- 20 mins on arc trainer
ab cable crunches - worked up to 130 from 70.  Before my raw days i could do 70 fine but 85 would feel heavy as shit but now adding just raw work in for the past few months have made my mid section a lot stronger
tea pots- worked up to 100s for a set of 10 starting at the 70s
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 23, 2015, 05:12:28 pm

Made it to the hiring pool for Nucor which is a steel mill near me.  With it my gainz might drop when they decide to hire me but even with the lowest paying job there at 10 an hr, with the weekly profit shares on a bad week turns into about 20 an hr.  It'll be good to have until I get to the academy but my weight definitely drop

your body will adjust to the increased work load. your gains will drop only temporarily...

...provided you eat enough! if you dont lose weight theres no reason to keep losing strength.

Bench- doubles
warm up: bar, 95,135,185,225
working sets: 275, 315, 325
Slanger sets: 335, 345, 365

I felt really weak this morning

skwaats- worked with doubles
working sets: 365,385,405(405 was with knee wraps)

again last week i did these for triples without knee wraps.  I might go 1 more week of heavy and see how I am, if I crap out again i will do a deload with just light repetition days.

then the usual leg shit after
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 27, 2015, 04:09:30 pm
Nov. 3rd I started this all again and here is my progress so far
Squats: 335 - 430ish + 95lbs
Bench: 265 - 335/340 + 75lbs
Deadlift: 365 - 430(havent tested this max in quite some time) +65lbs

going on my 14th week, with 2 weeks as just a warm up so this is the result so far in 12 weeks.

Doing things the honest way is good but fuck is it slow, if I were on the prohormones I would have been probably 500 skwaat, 400+ bench and a 500+ deadlift lol oh well
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 28, 2015, 06:01:49 pm
This morning i had a few things to do so skipped the workout but going in about an hour to hit up shoulders.

The plan

warm up- seated shoulder press- 15-20lbsx100 reps
                side raise-15lbsx100 reps

1 arm push press with barbell(have 1 side in a corner and push up on the other)worked up to 2 plates for sets of 10
kneeling 1 arm push press- worked up to 1 plate+10 for sets of 10
upright row-DB/BB- worked up to 50s for dbs for sets of 10 and bb 95 for sets of 10
side raise- 45 degree raises- worked up to 40sx3x10
rear delts- face pulls

Ab work- my standing cable crunches are getting stronger, up to a set of 5 with 145, 130 felt like 145 today about a week ago
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 29, 2015, 04:48:45 pm
this morning just hit some tricep work

tonight is back and tea pots

also going to get into low bar squat, considering my leverage and flexibility right now, low bar makes more sense and feels better so tomorrow when i do my rep session i will focus on getting used to low bar again
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 29, 2015, 08:49:20 pm
Weird back workout

Deficit pulls- had maybe an inch between my feet and the bar
135
185
225
275x1
315x1
345x1(new pr)
365x1(new pr)
385x1(new pr)
405x1(new pr)
       -  The plates i was standing on, my heel was in the middle and the top of my feet were in a crevice on the outside that was lower than the middle which allowed me to be able to squat the weight up instead of a typical deadlift style pull.  More like a Eric Lilliebridge deadlift.  When i decided to pull 405 from the floor without a deficit, it was easy but it was harder than the deficit because I couldnt get into that same position.

speed skwaats- 8x2x225
lat pulldowns
called it good, hitting up rep work tomorrow and just random shit that i havent done this week
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on January 30, 2015, 05:30:32 pm
This morning weight- 291

Slanger bench
225x20
275x15
315x10
345x10
365x3

Just some curls

tea pots

going tonight to do some other shit idk what yet.  Just a bullshit workout and saw a friend there so we all got talking n killed the mood
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 02, 2015, 09:48:51 pm
You guys are goin to think this is an april fools log just in february but its not and I have absolutely no clue how i was able to do this workout today.

On last weeks episode of Eric SkWAATS i did 405 for a double with knee wraps, On tonights episode I absolutely destroy it.

Difference is i started low bar which was idk 2 or 3 inches lower than where i was putting the bar.

warm up- 135-275: At this point i realize its going to be good because 275 felt like i was moving just the bar
315x1: Felt like just the bar
365x1: Felt like just the bar
405x1: Felt like just the bar
435x1: Felt like just the bar(New PR)
455x1: Felt like just the bar(New PR)
475x1: Felt like 7/10(New PR)
490x1: Felt like 9/10(New PR)
500x1: felt like 8/10(New PR)
             - I had a lot more in me but I hit a outrageous number and I am 4 months ahead of schedule.
315x10: easy as fuck i couldnt even really feel the weight
225x3x15 easy as fuck too

Heavy Hammy Curls: Full stack 3x10
Heavy abs

Over the weekend I ate fairly clean and Ive been drinking a lot of coffee with protein and i weighed in heavy at 299 but i think its just shit and water weight.

So I'm definitely excited!!!!! POWWWWW!!!!! :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Post by: John Stamos on February 07, 2015, 07:11:44 pm
I downloaded a new calorie tracker and last Monday I weighed in about 6 to 8 pounds heavier so this Monday I am going to try to do the same thing but just with rice, sodium, & a lot of water to give me a bit more leverage. I also slept probably 16 hours total so I want to go Monday morning and do about 30 minutes of really light cardio and stretchingthen take a long ass nap and try to hit 500 again raw and then throw the wraps on and go heavier.

LBSS:  do you think I should try to hit 500 or more again since last Monday 500 felt easy or go back to doing heavy triples starting with 405 to 475 or so

Went to go get some last night and all she wanted to do was "cuddle"  So i got up and left which sucks because if anyone knows central NY, during winter in Oswego its just absolutely shitty out and i drove in that shit for pussy and came up empty handed.  To top things off when i snuck outta her house i got a message saying my sister got jumped at a bar by the 2 uglies girls you'd ever meet.  So I have a lot of pent up anger, about 2 years worth since I can't get arrested or else I lose the state job soooooo mondays SKWAAT session I am looking towards getting 530 or 550, ik its a big jump but I went from 465 to 505 from 1 week to the next on deadlifts because I was just absolutely pissed off.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on February 08, 2015, 10:48:42 pm
sucks about the failed booty call.

and no, i wouldn't try to go for 500 again right away. it might have felt easy but you felt like shit the next few days. you don't need to hit an absolute 1RM PR every week.

I ordered my knee sleeves n they should get to me tomorrow so Im going to another gym i got invited to do some titties and tris tonight instead
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 16, 2015, 09:43:19 pm
Visited a different gym and did chest

the layout was shitty, the bench that they bench on well the rack was night but the bench itself was shitty, they had it set way too low and there was a hole where your ass goes so my leg drive didnt do jack shit.

Bench- Raw: worked up to 345x1 and missed 355 by a few inches
        Slanger: did 365x3, 385x2
            Raw: 275x10
                     185x20

did some push ups and cable work

regular gym tomorrow for skwaats
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 17, 2015, 09:37:44 pm
 :ibsquatting:
135-365 warm ups(275-365 singles for warm ups)
405x1 no belt or knee sleeves
455x1 belt
505x1(pr) belt+Knee sleeves
525x1(pr) Belt+Knee sleeves
315x10
225x10
135x10
- my knee sleeves I ordered from Elitefts, everyone had me paranoid about the size because the reviews were saying they run small so i ordered a 3xl and it gives me good support but for what they are  I should be getting a lot more so next time I get some ill get a 2xl.
-Skwaats felt good, a bit heavier on my back that last week and the week before and probably had 20 more lbs in me.
-Next time I do a max effort I'll go to the Y in auburn since they have a monolift so i wont have to walk it out.

-Workouts for the following months will be somewhat the same
mon- ME Skwaats
Wk.1 5x5
wk.2 5x3
wk.3 5x2
Rotate back to 5x5 for 4 cycles

Back days do speed work for skwaats and fridays are usually for Repetition work.

the rest of the workout was just hammy work, Speed pulls, 5x2, hammy curls, 5 sets of max reps with the full stack.
hammy ISO bridge hold- 3 sets of 20 seconds each leg.  I must use a lot of hammy and ass for everything because these were rough, my hammies activated immediately while my buddy who skwaats narrow said he couldnt feel his hammys activate.

tomorrow morning do some ab work and bis

Post by: John Stamos on February 22, 2015, 03:42:13 pm
Have a bit more mobility today.  This coming week im going to rest it and do a full body workout each day.   1 exercise for each muscle and the main lifts will be normal set rep schemes while secondary will be 5-6 sets of 12.  Im going to treat it like a deload wk and if my leg will allow it i might do box skwaats or just 600lbs unracks n hold for about the time it takes me to unrack, walk out, skwaat n rerack.  For rehab i will do some biking and light trap bar walks.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on February 27, 2015, 10:57:35 pm
Nothing today, was dealing with fedex all morning trying to figure out where my trap bar was, so after i went shopping for my food and dickin around with them for an hour, i decided to go searching again.  And thanks to my no fucks given for trespassing, i found it in my neighbors extension they put on their house in the back where i couldnt see it the first time.  The driver listed it as put it on the porch and its not even close to being a porch.  So I said fuck it, i cooked my food tonight for the weekend.  thinking of waking up early to get my chicken on the george foreman grill and hit the gym up before work.

This coming week will go back to normal, my leg should be good by sunday hopefully.  I also havent checked out my book yet cuz ik i wont really look at it so tomorrow at work i will look at it and put together a stretching routine.

The Plan

Monday: Wheels/bis/Yokes/back
Back Skwaats: reps at 450, depending on my first set I want 20 reps total so might do 10x2 or 5x5, maybe 10x2 would be the easiest.
Hammy curls
DB Stiff Legged deads
Lat pulldown
Curls
Trap work
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 01, 2015, 04:18:47 pm
just an update: my calf is feeling better and I can flex it and stretch it without and doing little spasms. I may do my squat workout in the morning if I feel good enough, if not then I will squat at night. If I work out in the morning then I will try to tape my squats and also whatever else I feel is necessary.  I haven't done completely raw squats in a while so im thinking something like this

Well I did skwaats in the morning and figured since im weaker in the morning it would stop me from going too heavy.

Notes: After Skwaats I did leg curls and my right hammy(side i pulled my calf on) felt substantially weaker than my left.
           No heavy lifting last week so the bar felt heavier on my back than normal
           My mobility was shit and i was tilted to one side even though i stretched and foam rolled
           On 465, my last set i felt my quad bunch up so now thats pulled a bit too, not too bad got some bengay on it.

135-275 warm ups
315x2
365x2
405x2
425x2(belt only)
455x1(belt ony)
455x2(belt+knee sleeves for the rest)
460x2
465x1(felt the twinge in my quad on the bottom) immediately went to the pool room and foam rolled and found whatever pointy edges i could and just had it sitting on the knot til it felt better, kept doing that between sets on everything else

hammy curls(single leg): worked up t 75x10 for each leg

db stiff legged deadlifts(light) worked up to 70sx3x10

Pulldowns with a var bar handle thing for 4 sets of 10
 
ab work


What I am going to do to improve everything

Mornings: Dedicated to stretching and foam rolling with bike work

afternoon: foam rolling everything

night: main workout, stretching, mainly dynamic stretching

Idk why this happened again I felt good but i guess its just by body telling me im not 18 anymore even though im only 26 but its acting like im 46 lol

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 05, 2015, 05:35:32 pm
I believe that I've had 5 meals so far today

first 2 were protein shakes and rice because I didnt have my chicken cooked yet( well 1 was protein shake and a bagel)
the next 2 were chicken and rice
last one was chicken, rice and a cup or less of left over spaghetti
My next meal at 630 will be the protein and veggies

How I feel today doing this
1. Idk if its directly related but I feel really warm lol My body just feels warmer and its not that warm in my house maybe 65-70 tops and my face is really warm.
2. A bit more energy
Thats it so far and when I did this diet awhile back I went down like 3 notches on my belt in just a few weeks.  I mainly focused on it during the weekend and during the week was iffy with my second job at the time.

Tonight is back and at 6 Im going down stairs with my trap bar and doing some trap bar deadlifts with a shrug to it
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 05, 2015, 07:50:27 pm

At the gym

Lat pulldown straightbar: did 4 sets increasing weight of 10 from 130lbs to full stack
Lat pulldown Vbar: 4 sets of 130 going balls out and getting a good stretch in the lats

DB Krocish Row: 100x20, 100x15 each arm

Diet: Medium Day

THis morning

Meal 1: Turkey Slices and rice
Meal 2: Packaged and flavored chicken and 30 grams of carbs of rice
Meal 3: Shrimp-20 grams of protein worth, Ham slices to finish out the protein and Mac n cheese 30 grams of carbs and pieces of lemon bread to soak up the volcano in my mouth that i created with adding too many red pepper flakes to the shrimp.
Meal 4: 5:00pm- Protein Shake, Pnut butter, fish oil, and veggies
Meal 5: 7pm- Shrimp/Chicken, veggies, and pnut butter
Meal 6: Chicken/Shrimp, fishoil

I feel like I'm wearing a snuggy right now, room temp is normal around 70 but my face and body is just warm as shit.  Im guessing for the majority of the year my metabolism was just slow as shit which is why when i tried to eat decently healthy i probably wasnt taking in enough.


Weight tonight is about Half a pound less than last night, 296.7, so on my second diet day i am half a pound lighter in the morning and at night and I drank quite a bit of fluids today.  So far Im happy with it, gotta go eat my 5th meal
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 07, 2015, 12:47:19 pm
diet: low day

Morning cardio: incline walk for 10 minutes; my calf feels good but noticed the soreness when i was in the incline so i stopped at 10 mins and finished with 20 mins on the bike.

Morning weight: 293.8

Meal 1:protein shake, 2/3rds cup of mac n cheese n rice and a bit of water.
Cardio
Meal 2: same as 1 but chicken instead of shake
Meal 3: 2:00pm
Meal 4: 5:00pm
Meal 5: 8:00pm
Meal 6: 11:30pm

No cardio tomorrow cuz the gym isnt open when i can go.  Monday my squats are going to be same routine as when i first started with 10-15lbs higher each set.

Also cardio will be trap bar walks with increasing weight.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 07, 2015, 05:01:29 pm
Between meals ive been hungry around 2hrs after i eat.  Im guessing its because of the lack of carbs on the low days, other than that its going well and im fairly warm still after each meal.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 08, 2015, 04:00:18 pm
Today hasnt been too bad diet wise, I forgot to bring vegetables so I am just going to do a couple extra protein shakes.  Tomorrow for legs im going back to high bar and in 14 weeks try to work up to 50lbs over my last high bar PR.  So my goal is a 475 high bar
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 09, 2015, 09:28:04 am
I had some Captain Crunch last night after work for my last meal lol but ive let myself sip here n there but kept on course with the main diet.   If I completely throw out all the good shit and just eat my chicken n rice n veggies then ill quite soon so allowing myself small portions of stuff like that here n there will keep me on track.

Im just waiting for my chicken to thaw out right now before i go to the gym so i can brine it n throw idk some kind of sauce in there.

This morning will just be 30 minutes of cardio, probably 10 minute walk with 20 minutes of bike and foam rolling
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on March 09, 2015, 09:30:28 am
reminds me of something i read years ago from tony gentilcore: if you want to not eat sugary stuff, then throw it out. if it's in your house, chances are you'll eat it.

Post by: John Stamos on March 09, 2015, 09:44:38 am
True that, once June comes hopefully ill be on this diet still and ill able to stay 100% committed when I'm a CO.  But for now if i cheat then i can actually cheat in small doses instead of heading off to chilis n getting a triple dipper or something like that...sounds good right about now lol ima go eat

afterwards some trap bar speed pulls
farmers carries, hammy curls
umm db deadlifts

I kept with the workout n did everything, weights arent important, i didnt go too heavy on shit anyway.

Ruined some kids night though lol  He always comes in with a shirt with the sleeves cut off and probably 160 soaking wet. Anyway he tries to always "teach" people how to lift and hes always wrong but acts like hes right n Ive called him out on it before.

Tonight he was trying to tell a couple of girls how to squat when his max is probably around 225.  He told the girl to move the bar up almost on her neck and put your hands against the weights and push and thats your hand position.  So i was on Swole Patrol and told them do not skwaat like that, its making you round over and just absolutely fucking retarded. He pretty much ran out of the gym which is good since hes just a super douche bag.  I need to go to  a different gym or just buy a house before next winter with a gigantic ass garage.

Anyway workout felt good, weight is the same still but i have a scale now and im feeling leaner and looking leaner so idk  if im down a bit after my low carb days then ill know its working.

Tonight is just random shit, biceps, abs, teapots, bike stuff, stretching

Sticking to the diet pretty well.  My pants fell down at work so thats something i guess lol. I am just sick of chicken and veggies, other than that aint shit going on.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 16, 2015, 10:56:09 am
Morning cardio: 30 mins arc trainer, stretching and sitting in the pool room(probably 85 degrees or so)
I looked before the gym at my chicken and i had 1 breast left that i cooked up from the 5lbs that i do each week and its undercooked as a mofo and wanted to get my meal in asap so i bought a sub without mayo n that shit and some beef cuz chicken is blah after awhile.

Tonight Im going to switch up my leg day that i planned already lol  I want to stick with "heavy" weight which im fine with 315 or more for at least 1 or 2 sets with highish reps and if i did my other workout id probably go 185 to 225. Sooo ill change it up like this maybe....i doubt ill be able to do it

SKWAATS: 60 reps total, start with 315 and do as many as i can until i feel its unsafe, take a plate off and do 225, same deal and then finish with 135.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 16, 2015, 09:46:03 pm
50 rep skwaats instead of 60, more on that in a bit
warm up bar-225
315x20
315x10
315x10
-by now my lower back and legs are screaming
225x10
-this set i stopped at because i couldnt really idk feel my legs anymore lol

Dump break

Hammy curls-a lot of them

then some biceps n hwhat not.

Overall it felt good, my leg feels like its back to normal so next week i might try high reps with 365 or something

tomorrow morning is more cardio and stretching, night is chesticles and triceps
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 17, 2015, 12:32:32 pm

hammy work
abs
biceps
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on March 27, 2015, 09:14:36 pm
Ok i hope i can remember everything I did tonight, it's nice working out by myself again and I dont expect my buddy to be doing a lot of lifting for awhile.  Sooo by myself i can do everything i need to do and want to do without hearing any bitching and moaning!!!!!!

How I felt tonight: having to wake up super early and my meals were timed different, my carbs were way further away from my workout than normal so i felt a bit weaker and tired.
Night weight: 289.4

Trap bar deadlifts: I felt weak but went at it anyway
140x5
230x5
320x3
410x1
460x2x1
then worked my way back down

Trap bar bent over rows: Felt good and felt more back involvement compared to a barbell
140x10
160x5
180x5
200x5 and worked my way back down i think

DB Rhino rows: felt good and got a good stretch in my lats with the little swing before the row
60x10
70x10
60x2x10

Lat pulldown single arm attachments: Felt good and not quite sure about the weights but it wasnt too much, maybe 115-130lbs
A. Pulled down with both sides, then pulled with each arm, back to both arms and back etc etc for 4 sets(probably my new favorite movement)
B. Reverse straight bar pulldown: probably 130lbs or so for 4 sets of 10
C. V bar pulldown: 100-130 with a slow tempo for 4 sets of 10 with a 2 second pause on the bottom

Biceps
7-7-7: dbs from 15-40 with 5lb increments
7 regular db curl
7 palms up across chest
7 across body hammers

then some preacher curl stuff

worked with my band to get some pump with some banded tricep pushdowns, rows, upright rows, and pull aparts for rear delts

10 minutes on the arc trainer
Title: Re: Eric's Journal

March 5th starting weight
Morning: 294.6
Night: 297

March 27 weight
Morning weight: 288
Night: 289


So i've lost about 7.5lbs average in 22 days which is a lil over 2lbs a week so I am on point and not bad for having a few weeks of mishaps and stalling.

Progress so far: legs, shoulders, arms are noticeably leaner and gut is when I dont have enough veggies in my stomach to equal the weight of a baby.

Lol idk about that lean.  If you follow furious pete id be happy with where he is now.  I have 10lbs of optimum protein on the way and it cant come soon enough, this dymatize shit is gross.  Im thinking once i hit 275 ill start going for jogs which will probably line up with when i have to anyway for the academy.

Wheels tonight:
Skwaats: 405x20
High Bar SKwaats: drop to 365 and work up from there then drop set back down

Post by: John Stamos on March 31, 2015, 11:49:13 pm
Pre-exhaustion chesticles

Machine press: did 5 sets from 150-250(250 was the last 2 sets) 20 reps each
Incline DB press: 70x3x10-5
        - So i did 10 reps on the incline, take 5 breathes and did 5 more reps for each set
Incline Hex press- worked up to 55 or 60lbs and did 3 sets of 10
flat DB flyes: worked up to 60lbs i think for 3 sets of 10
Bench: Warn out by now
95-205 for sets of 10-15

Tricep extensions(db) worked up to 55lbs which was a PR for  a set of 5 or something
Pyramid pushdowns from 40-130 then back down for 20-10 reps each

Post by: John Stamos on April 01, 2015, 08:44:52 am
Tonight is Back and today i am going to Chilis so it will be my first test lol  I am going to have 2 protein shakes beforehand with no carbs and unfortunately I wont be ordering a triple dipper and try to go a bit healthier.

Just had a 80 gram shake and i am 100% glad I went with optimum again, it mixes easy as shit and tastes good unlike dymatize which is just the worst main stream brand protein.  The only thing i can think of thats worse than dymatize is the shit they sell at walmart, extreme force or some shit idk that stuff was dog shit in a bottle.

-It's a pre-exhaustion week but i dont like doing that for back so Im gonna stick to a normal routine tonight
The Plan (groin is still sore so no deadlift)
Trap bar bent over rowsx3x10-5
BB Bent over rowsx3x10-5
DB Rowsx4x10-15
maybe some fatman pullups
lat pulldown shit and biceps


Chili adventure, barely ate anything, was full as shit and it turned into me blowing up the toilet
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 02, 2015, 11:51:27 am
I pretty much did what i had planned for back, nothing exciting

went to the gym this morning, got some ass last night and it was just awful lol she was so bad i kinda just told her to get off me and left lol

anyway this morning i did some shoulders for 20 minutes

OH DB PRESS: 30-60 by incraments of 5lbs for 20 reps each
Bent over DB rear delts- 20-35lbsx15 each
Shoulder machine press

going to enjoy the weather, supposed to be 63 today then snow tomorrow lol fuck ny so i gotta detail my car and try to get my other car out of the snow and tonight is Furious 7!!!

Yeah for sure, im doing them tonight, not sure if im going to do it at the gym or just when I get home, im getting kind of sick of explaining exercises to random people lol

Groin is still shitty so im sticking with landmine squats tonight with hammy work biceps and a wall ball n jumping jax circuit

THis morning

3 rounds
30 wallballs
60 jumping jax

5 laps around the track(18 is a mile)

DB squats: 100lbs for 3x10

hammy curls: idk a lot of them

then some diesel ass biceps

As much as im not a fan of it, my cardio needs to start going up and I cant be too focused on strength right now or size for that matter so im going to do this week for now on

Monday= Wheels n bis
Tuesday= chest n tris
Wednesday= Rich Froning day
Thursday= Back
Friday= Rich froning day with a focus on shoulders


As much as i dont like crossfit nowadays, it did give me some good ass cardio and if im correct ill be in the academy by June Im hoping.  I wont go too nuts on the Froning days, no high rep snatches n cleans, ill stay away form olympic lifts all together.  Im thinking something like this

WOD: Jackie( KM Row, 45lb thruster for 50 and 30 fatman pull ups
          Rest
          some kind of 10 min wod
          Rest
         End it with a short circuit prob 3-5 rounds of wallballs n jumping jax or push ups or some shit in the pool room

Froning day 2

DB circuits for shoulders like normal
some kind of wod
rest

if you're trying to lose weight and train in part for a distance event, isn't low-intensity, longer-duration cardio probably going to do you better?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 07, 2015, 07:36:08 pm
Yeah I think i was just in panic mode lol  ill just stick with about 45 minutes of low intensity even though its super boring.

Had to work all day and just didnt get any calories in, ate power bars but it was like maybe 500 from 9am-5pm so not going to waste my time doing chest tonight, going to do it in the AM tomorrow
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 08, 2015, 06:21:47 pm
didnt do anything today, had to cook food, woke up at 5 after a bad night of sleeping anyway to take my buddy to work which just sucks shit and feels like im getting a bit sick.  Tonight Im going to pound some nyquil and i think tomorrow i might go into 1 of my old gyms(best one ive been too that some of my videos are from) and hit chest, shoulders, back n tris lol  Ik a lot but I figured i can get there around 10, hit them with 30 minutes on the stair master and then go see furious 7 again at 1 so thats the plan.

No planned sets n reps just what feels good

Smith machine press
power bench
machine that acts like your doing db presses
cable work

OH hammer press
whatever other OH stuff i can do there i cant remember all of the machines

t bar rows
various hammer rows etc etc blah ill figure it out lol cable rows stuff like that

I figured id hit all 3 because im paying for a day pass and it has equipment that i dont have at my gym so gonna get at it hard, might even do some legs too

Welp this morning i did a morning walk

My friend that I did the CO process with and finished our interviews within a week from each other just got called today for the academy.  So hopefully within the next few days I will get called for the academy in May.  Once that happens, you're going to see a whole new kind of Eric.  Once I pay off my student loans I will hopefully be able to buy a house sometime down the road from my house now but this one has a gigantic garage(probably not gigantic but its plenty big)  Half will be a diesel ass garage and the other half will be for my GTR haha.

tonight I am just not gonna message my friend, he bitched n moaned last night at the gym so i dont need any of that shit and going to hit up ummm fucking shit chesticles and triceps with a 20 min pump session for my back n bis

I was a few spots away from getting called to this academy but its looking like I will be getting into the June academy.  My buddy finished his test about a hr-hr n a half before me and he got called for this one in May but denied it so i doubt within that hr or so 200 other people finished the test before me so ill get in at june

Before I get into my question, 40 minute walk and tabata workout this morning

LBSS I have approximately 40-49 days until the next academy. So LBSS, My muscle mass i believe is plenty to support my BMR so I want to transition into conditioning and maintenance.  I will be mainly doing 5 mile runs and body weight movements in the academy so that is what I want to focus on.  I want to be able to work up to say a decent 6 mile pace where I'm not completely dead afterwards so 5 miles wont be too bad.  I was thinking of pyramiding the running, say 2x a week, 1 mile each day, next week raise it up to 2 miles, then 3 then back down then back up or something, and for my workouts, do supersets just to focus on maintenance and not going too heavy just so my recovery is in check.

so what would you do?  I will also keep the 40 minute walks on my off days
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on April 17, 2015, 05:02:23 pm
not sure what you mean by your muscle mass being enough to support your BMR. your BMR has to do with all kinds of shit, one of which is muscle mass.

with respect to conditioning for the run, how far you can run comfortably now? i don't think pyramiding makes sense, i think you're probably better off doing a linear progression. that's what i'd do myself if i had six weeks to build up. here's an idea.

two days per week, with at least a full day and preferably two in between:
week 1 - run 1.5 miles, set a pace that's challenging so you're pretty gassed by the end but not dead; this becomes your pace for the next weeks
week 2 - run 2 miles, just below the pace you set in week 1
week 3 - run 2.5 miles, same pace as week 2
week 4 - run 3 miles, same pace as week 2
week 5 - run 3.5 miles, same pace
week 6 - run 4 miles one day, 5 miles the second day, same pace

three days per week:
week 1 - walk 40 minutes
week 2 - walk 40 minutes with 8 intervals of hard running, faster than your jogging pace for 30 seconds, get up on your toes
week 3 - walk 40 minutes with 10 intervals of 30 seconds
week 4 - walk 40 minutes with 8 intervals of 45 seconds
week 5 - walk 40 minutes with 10 intervals of 45 seconds
week 6 - walk 40 minutes with 8 intervals of 60 seconds
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 17, 2015, 05:24:11 pm
Yeah i Just meant I shouldnt need to build more muscle so maintenance should be fine.

That looks good and im not sure how long i can run now comfortably but ill run on the track and just set a certain pace like hmm

18 laps is a mile so 27 is a mile and a half

a 55 second pace per lap will put me just under 15 minutes and ive been like 60-65 second pace for my walks so shaving 10 seconds off shouldnt be too bad to start out.  my running days will probably be monday and wednesday or thursday.  Tonight at the end of my workout i will go on the track and do a few laps to see what the pace is like.

Also I finally put my basketball hoop up on my court since the snow is gone for good.

at 5'10 at 280 something in shitty boots that dont zip up, i did a 1 step tomahawk on 8.5 and a standing and 1 step 1 hander on 9ft! lmao  So i have a long ways to go
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: vag on April 17, 2015, 05:56:04 pm
18 laps is a mile so 27 is a mile and a half

a 55 second pace per lap will put me just under 15 minutes

Something went bad in those calculations.
18 laps can't bee a mile, that would be less than 100 yards per lap. But then the 55s/lap doesn't make sense, it is way too slow.
Also 55s/lap for 18 laps is 16m:30s, so whatever distance those 18 laps are, the 'just under 15 minutes' you mentioned also doesn't add up.

:derp:

This isnt a regular track, its the indoor track around the gym.  If i went on the outside lap at the school they'd probably call the cops on me for creepin or something since its about 100ft from the school.  Idk it'd feel weird if i went there during the school day lol it's fine for old people but itd be pretty awkward.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 17, 2015, 10:23:17 pm
I talked to my buddy and he has a few friends in the academy right now and he said they are only going about 1.5 miles a day and at the end of the academy they run like 5 miles or something so maybe i can cut the distances down a bit or just be a man and suck it up?

Haha, ok, makes sense now. If you know the total distance it is fine. Around 15 minutes sounds like a reasonable starting pace for 1,5 miles. Don't predetermine and worry about times though, just go and set a challenging but not exhausting pace just like LBSS said and see what you get. I don't know about the daily distances, 1.5 mile seems to low. Since the goal is total kcals, you need more 'TUT'. So building up to bigger distances is building up to more burned kcals. Long walks also work wonders. I think LBSS suggestion is very well rounded, stick with it.

Kk ill give it a whirl. 

Last nights workout was supersets for OH press and side raise both DBs for 5 sets.

Superset 2 was front raise and rear delt work for 3 sets

I hit one pump set for back and bi's, 2 sets for tris and I believe that was it

And this is more for conditioning/cardiovascular purposes.  Im more worried about making the academy as easy as possible.  Bodyweight matters but not that much, after HS i was about 205 and couldnt run to save my life but my last year i was running in the high 5's for the mile and could do 8 miles pretty comfortably at 195lbs.  At my bw 1.5 miles will be plenty for fatloss as well lol
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on April 19, 2015, 10:45:08 pm
yeah but your cardiovascular fitness will improve a lot if you're lighter. combine losing a bit of fat with gradually building up your running distances and you will be swift like an antelope in no time.

Yeah it was an interesting run lol

I had to do my tabata before my run because the track was full of old zombies and the dreadmill was full of fat chicks talking about desserts.

During the tabata my left quad was on fire so my first thought was fuck but whatevs.

I did a .10 mile walk to get my shit going after stretching and I finished the 1.5 mile run in 15:40 or so.  My cardio wasn't the problem really, the first half mile was easy at a 10 minute mile pace, then my cardio became an issue and my hoodie made me heat up like a mofo by .70 so i stopped for a second to take my hoodie off.  After that my cardio wasn't an issue, i was breathing harder from the tabata but my hips and pretty much right leg was just tight and on fire.  So  hopefully with more stretching and after a week or so my body will get used to it.

The tabata was easy too, thinking of increasing it to 10 minutes on wednesday

Not going to the gym tonight, been feeling like shit and always do every year march-june.  I want my back day to be the most diesel one so i want to make sure i have energy for it.  I'll be doing back tomorrow morning before my 40 min walk
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 21, 2015, 07:20:20 am
I feel like dick but I'm up and just going to plan out the workout before I get there

Back

Bent over rows- work up to a heavy set of 5
DB Rows- 4x10
3 different handles for lat pulldowns
ummmm bicep work and my 40 minute walk i guess....i cant wait to get this job so i can either make my own gym or go to the one I used to go to
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 21, 2015, 09:28:18 am
I felt super weak and sore but oh well

- worked up to 195x10 for bent over rows
- did db rows 80, 90, 100dbs for sets of 10
- did 3 sets each for 10 of straight bar pulldown, single handles and a Vbar thing handle
- 3 sets of db biceps with 30lbs: 7 reps regular, 7 palms up across body and 7 hammers across body

40 minute walk.....absolutely irritating, 1 guy who was doing crossfit in the weight room when i was in there with typical crossfit form on everything decided to do sprints around this tiny ass track.  by lap 2 he was huffing n puffing so bad im glad he stopped on his 4th lap because i wasnt going to give him CPR.  Around the 30 minute mark i got a big whiff of bengay and moth balls and thats a sign of the old zombies coming.

Ima draw a bath and relax and probably hit chest up tonight.  also will be drawing up my plans for a home gym that I will start on in august.

Nothing this morning, had to deal with some douche who tried to use my credit card online so my card got canceled and had to apply for a new one.

Last night: Chesticles and Triceps
Larsen bench press(no legs involved)
135-225 warm ups for 10 reps
255x5
275x5
300x2
315x2
330x1
Regular bench: 340x1

DB Flyes:40x3x10
Machine press: decline type handle: 150x3x15
lying tricep extensions(dbs): 30x10, 40x10, 50x10
tricep pushdown hell:40-145-40.  Pyramid up and down every weight trying to get 20 reps on each, went you cant do 20 you shoot for 12-15, then you shoot for 10 if thats the most youll be able to get.  Once you can only do 10 or less you work your way back down

that was it i think

Tonight is going to be a pump day for chest, tris, back, bis, and my walk
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 22, 2015, 06:33:01 pm
For my pump day

Preacher DB curls: 4x10 with 30lbs, using a slow tempo

Flat hex press(dbs): 40x4x15 with legs up

Had my oatmeal and protein shake this morning, sat around waiting for it to sink in and watched the youtubes.

Got to the gym this morning and went into the pool area to do a hip warm up n what not that Chris Duffin shows in his new video.  I definitely have 0 hip mobility after trying to do 1 of the movements lol

My 1.5 mile run was 30 seconds slower than before but this time I kept it constant and didn't have to hop off the dreadmill to take my hoodie off or anything.  The hip stuff worked I think, my lower back didn't hurt like last time just my right calf was on fire

This is the video for the warm up

I pretty much just did 1 legged hammy curls for 5 sets or so, some leg press

I hate people who get into the whole fitness world for about a year and act like they know everything because they are "competing" in physique shows.  I'm sorry but physique shows in general are a joke, just a bunch of skinny guys with a tan on stage who are about 170lbs soaken wet and not nearly as lean as the bodybuilders.    :uhhhfacepalm:  This girl is trying to give my cousin advice on losing weight n what not and shes acting as if theres only 1 way of doing things, 1 way of doing cardio 1 way of this n that and i just wish I could get my pimp hand out.  Plus I would never take weightloss advice from someone who was never a fat fuck, congrats shes a skinny girl who decided to get a spray tan and stand on stage.  I need to get away from this place and surround myself with like minded people.

Stuck to my diet yesterday, actually ate way under, I felt sick around 630 or so at work and I said fuck it, turned the lights off in the guard shack and passed out til 10:00 and left. 

Today i got some medicine so hopefully i wont be shitty all day so I'll use it to plan my workouts for this week since some of my days could be better

Post by: John Stamos on April 27, 2015, 10:36:51 am
waking up again feeling like ass, can't wait for this allergy bullshit to be over with.  Ima do my cardio after my workout today and I think the theme of this week is drop sets.  Also going to throw in Hammys twice a week and quad work twice a week, my groin is still well i dont feel it walking around, running its there but goes away after a bit and at the bottom of a skwaat i feel it so its present but not bad but I dont feel like pushing it.  So i will just do hammy curls twice a week and quad work idk  I'll figure that out. ALSO, throwing in more rear delt work

For back I think I will try this

BB rows- work up to a heavy set of 5(being a dick and using a 45 then working with 10lb plates) then stripping the plates off for the drop set

DB row- Surf the rack

drop sets on 3 different handles for lat pulldowns

bicep work
rear delt

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on April 27, 2015, 08:46:24 pm
BB rows- 10 reps each
135, 155, 175, 205, 225, 245 then back down

2 Handed DB rows: 80-50s at 5lb increments for 10 reps or so each

Single handles Lat pulldowns- drop set from 165-80lbs, probably 8 sets total for 10 reps or so each
Rhino pulldowns w/ straight bar: 3x15x115
V bar pulldowns- 3x10x100-145

straight bar curls- 4 sets worked up to like 100lbs or something.  The handles on the single handles for the pulldowns are thicker than normal so my forearms were fried.  I decided to not to anything else more for biceps because I was just getting a forearm burn.

This morning was a 10 minute bike ride and left after some stretching, constant yapping from women in there so i left(shit tons of people on the track so I couldnt get my run in)

Went back home and played some ball for a half hour or so.  As i kept jumping i was getting a bit better and better, later around 230 I went back out and did some more jumping n dunking.

Afternoon: 15 minutes of basketball(shootin around n warming up the ol wheels)
                  3 laps of farmers walk down my driveway and back(down and back=.2 miles)
                  Lap 1- 75lbs
                  Lap 2- 55lbs

Tonight (430) is chest and tris with a pump for back and bis

Im logging my foods again

Right now at 1:20

Total Calories
1000

Protein
86 grams

Fat
16 grams

Carbs
122 grams

Which seems to be pretty decent, ill take in probably 2 more protein shakes before the end of the day
Also my mood is better, im not just stressed n moping around all day waiting for the call, now I'm a lot more focused and motivated.  As long as i get paid my starting salary during the academy, ill probably make about 6 grand or so after taxes....which unfortunately will go towards my student loans.

What else is going on hmm oh yeah you see these fuckers on the instagrams n shit dancing and stomping on the Murican Flag?  I keep seeing the same video of some fat ass black chick on the news doing it.  Shit just pisses me off, especially since they are blaming everyone else and the cities for not having enough jobs so they are all po' black folk, gimme a fucking break.  The credentials you need for the job im getting, cant be a scumbag and have felony charges, be in good credit, and take the test and pass, so pretty much just being a decent citizen and ill start off with overtime around 60k, in a year ill probably be around 80k with overtime, once I move up in 2 years, ill be at 100k, once i move up in 2 years after that, itll be like 120k a year.  120k a year job that doesnt require a college degree, so yeah instead of stomping on our flags and blaming the police for arresting them for doing illegal activities they should try to apply at hell walmart or mcdonalds or something, my first on the books job was walmart, i started from the bottom and now im going to the top lol.  End rant i need to eat and foam roll

unemployment in the neighborhood where freddie gray lived is 58%. it's not a problem of people being lazy -- although surely there are some lazy fuckers there, just as there are lazy fuckers in rich neighborhoods and all over the world -- it's a problem of systematic discrimination in many forms combined with the flight of the industrial base and all the jobs that went along with it.

frankly i give zero fucks if someone wants to stomp on the american flag.

and I just did a quick search on indeed.com and in his area, there is 27k jobs listed, the first 20 pages are jobs that were posted 5 hours ago or less.  I just see it as most of them would rather just sell/mule drugs or abuse the welfare system than get a real job.  Temp agencies hire everyone, I've worked with tons of people who just got out of prison before.  Idk I try not to watch any of it, ill never go to baltimore so if they burned it to the ground it wouldn't do anything to my life.

yeah i set the bar up on the squat rack and do them like that.

A lot of people say they lose 30lbs or so during the academy considering they control our food and all of the bw and running we do so itll be good for me and hopefully when im done I wont have to do fat man pullups anymore haha

ill check it tonight, didnt bother this morning because i had a protein shake and ive been drinking a lot of water but knowing how my body works its probably around 285-287 on a good day.

since my body is pretty much beaten up 24/7 im doing 1 movement for my gym workouts this last week so i can recover a bit

Today was lat pulldown
tomorrow is bench with a slow tempo
wednesday is rest from weights maybe idk
thursday oh press
friday once i get done running around finishing up everything i might just do a circuit with machines

 on those days will be running and bw stuff, wall balls etc etc

11:00 workout

Cleans:
75x20
95x20
135x20

135lb farmers carry 1 trip(1056-1100 feet)

I had more planned but it took me forever to do the farmers carries, my hands were raw since the knurling on the trap bar handles are so rough.

setting everything up, doing it and putting everything away was an hr so probably took me 30-40 minutes to do the workout.


I broke the farmers carry up to 20 seconds on then whatever rest i did, that was showing to be too slow so i upped it to 30 seconds on.  On the way back i said fuck the time and just went for it, only had to drop the bar two or three times on the way back

Weight this morning post workout: around 284

Bench
135x10
185x5(slow tempo, 5-2-2)
205x5.............
225x5.............
235x5.............
then worked my way back down

tricep extensions, 3 sets of a vbar and 3 single handed sets

Forrest Gump Run
Time: 1 Hour
Pace: idk it felt the same as when im on a treadmill doing 5mph though
Feeling: my breathing never got heavy, i was focusing on breathing into my stomach instead of my chest so my trapz and upper body in general could relax and i could breathe easier.  My right hip was acting up because of all the turning, but other then that i was just sweating a lot.  I did a straight 30 minutes but started to cramp so every 10 minutes after that i stopped for 10 seconds or so to take a drink of powerade, i ran an extra minute to make up for the time i spent stopped.

ima go drink my coffee and take a long ass bath and wait for UPS

Shot around and walked the garbage down to the end of the driveway.  Thinking about where I want to go after the academy since I will have to restart all over again.

Powerlifting
Pros: Get strong
          Showing up the young kids
          Can be done generally at any gym minus PF
          Decently short-moderate time for workouts

Cons: I will probably get too caught up in strength and get fat again
           I've had the most injuries due to powerlifting
           Meets, no money in it and I have no desire to do one
           Movements in daily life will be shit
           Can be boring

Bodybuilding
Pros: Get big and decently strong
          Look good
          balanced

Cons: Diet, I'm not disciplined enough to stick with one
           No intentions of doing shows in thongs
           No money in it
           Be tempted to try a steroid again
           Movements will be shit
           Can be boring

Crossfit
Pros:  My cholesterol and resting HR was was at amazing levels after I finished doing it
           Hot girls
           Cardio-vascular was through the roof
           A lot of variety
           Fun to do
           Girls in short shorts
           Booty Booty Booty all around
           As long as I dont focus solely on metcons my strength will go up
           Booty shorts
           Will encourage me to hit a goal of being able to do a muscle up
           I never had an injury during it

Cons: Timed WODs and such promote shitty form
           Goofy exercises which i cringe when I see, ex. GHD sit ups
           Greg Glassman is a douche bag
           Dave Castro is also a douche bag
           If I ever made it to the games they would probably hate me
           Need quite a bit of equipment
           They keep adding expensive equipment that isnt needed to the WODs just to make money.  ex.  Trueform runner


I'm sure there are more pros and cons to each but im exhausted and trying to stay awake.  I am leaning towards crossfit since I want to stick with running also.  I will make adjustments to my workouts to limit the goofy exercises chance of injuries.

I'm sure most will disagree but I feel if i keep with it I could at least get good enough to make it to regionals in the years to come and that seems more fun than going to a meet to do squat bench deadlift and go home

I forgot, I will explain the poor movements in the cons. It took me awhile just to learn to run again, playing basketball felt weird because i never had to move at different angles and sprint n jog and all that jazz.  So if I do crossfit, other activities will feel better, more natural if that makes any sense

again? five years ago you were talking about feeling like shit at 238 and you're almost 50 pounds heavier than that now.

Bodybuilding

yeah don't do that.

Crossfit


this, do this. of the three options i absolutely think you should do Crossfit. you'll have fun, you'll get healthier, you'll be surrounded by hot girls in booty shorts. do it.

For the 8 weeks we aren't allowed to go to a gym on our off days, granted they wouldnt know but if we got hurt then it'd be obvious and I'd get kicked out.  If I dont stay consistent then my lifts just go to shit.  I remember a few years back the gym closed down for a week due to cleaning and my squat literally dropped over 100lbs, wasnt just a bad workout it just dropped lol  I figured if I'm going to start it up again after 2 months I will build up on my BW movements since hopefully I will be good at them by the end and the running, even if I just stick with a mile or 2 a day. 


I'm thinking crossfit too, I already have bumpers so why not lol  Yeah I dont think i was in that bad of shape at 238, just being a pussy since i felt good at 220 for a long time, shooting up to 238 made me feel like shit.  I just want to drop to 10%bf or so and keep as much muscle as I can.  It should be a reasonable goal since I will be working with shelby starnes for a year after I get out.

I also think that if I can run 5 miles or whatever i did, well run for an hour at 284lbs then when I drop lower I should be able to have some pretty good conditioning.  Granted I was going slow but I dont remember a point in the run where i was breathing heavy. and if my feet didnt get raw I couldve just kept going

Tonight

20 wallballs
3 sets of 10 push ups
20 wallballs
3 sets of 10 push ups
20 wallballs
3 sets of 10 push ups
- my push ups are feeling like shit lately, the first 3 sets i just felt like ass, the rest of them felt decent once i got warmed up

Row- 5-6 sets of 300 meter sprints, keeping it from 50-1:04 time frame
I'm not doing "proper rowing form" for speed since I feel its hard to breathe when I do that(extend your legs, lean back, pull to nipps)  SO i just keep a straight vertical back without the lean which makes it hard to breathe and im getting more work in.



Just took in a 40 gram protein shake and just relaxing, my back is sore as balls.

Ill go around 4 to the gym just to do some light machine work, just hit 2 drop sets or something on each and some biking.  My feet are dunzo from the run yesterday.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on May 20, 2015, 06:10:58 pm
Did a 10 mile bike ride

for the last 10 minutes  I talked to a kid who goes to the gym, I think hes 17 and told me that he just got off a cycle...but he said he did 3 weeks od D-Bol which isnt really a cycle.  Anyway my response was are you fucking retarded?  I got through to him and he realized its dumb to order shit online and that he was way too young to even consider it.  His main thing was I want to win MR. Olympia, i want bodybuilding to be my main career etc etc.  So i broke the news to him that BB isn't a career, it is for about 1% of bodybuilders or less but they have to push their roid levels to extremes with 20 years or more of training.  He said if bodybuilding doesnt work out then he will have welding to fall back on.  I again said dont be a dumbass, welding first, bodybuilding as a hobby. 

That was my good deed for the day

I AM NOT IN SHAPE!!!! lol
Starting weight:286 on 5-23-15

Current Weight: 277.0

Loss of 9lbs in 6 days.

Its been like 80s or 90s in Albany all week, and we have to PT in it and there is just so much sweat everywhere its just pouring off of my face.  The food is terrible and I couldnt eat anything until tuesday I was so dehydrated.  Sunday morning-Wednesday morning I got 3 hours of sleep total.  So far the ambulance count is up to 6 for people passing out for heat exhaustion.

Typical workout for the day

Jumping jax, 30 count but its 1-2-3-1, 1-2-3-2....................
5 stretching exercises
Jumping jax same thing
push ups, hold in the push up position for 30 seconds to a minute or so, go down and up hold it again for that long until you hit 10
flutter kicks, same thing, hold the bottom position with feet 6 inches off the ground
bicycle crunches, same thing
jumping jax, same count as before
burpees with random static holds until everyone gets off the floor
then the rest is just random exercises thrown in and its straight for an hour- hour and a half.

some marching afterwards

I got as little of food as I did sleep and if you take the desserts and good tasting stuff you get punished for it even though the food comes out of our pockets.

so yeah, to some that doesnt sound bad but when youre in a gym with 90 other people at 85 degrees its killer

besides that I got yelled at a shit ton

ill try to give an idea of what our workout was today.

jog in place while chanting some marching songs
front leaning rest (push up position and hold it) because a chick decided to talk backx5 minutes
jumping jacksx200 or so with front leaning rest between them because people kept fucking up
flutter kicks- count was 1-2-3-1, 1-2-3-2 etc etc with a slow tempo for idk 40 count
jumping jacksx50
flutter kicks, same deal with normal tempo
push upsxa lot
mountain climbersx a lot
jumping jacksx50
squat benders- squat down n touch the back of your calves, come back up then bend down at the waist and touch your toes and repeat for idk a lot of reps
swimmersx10 count(supermans)
bicycle crunchesxa lot
burpeesx a lot
bicycle crunchesx a lot
flutter kicksx a lot
front to backs(jog in place and when he says front your hit the floor on your stomach, when he says back that means get on your back) by a shit ton
jog in place chanting again and marching.

I believe  I got everything but im sure there was more, this is about an hour - hour and a half of straight work with stretching, there is maybe 30 seconds rest between exercises.

I decided to recycle myself back onto the list which means Im not in the academy anymore but i can go back whenever i want before my expiration date in 2016 or 2017.  I've been waiting for this job for a long time and when it finally came, I wasn't all that thrilled about it.  When I got to the academy and heard the real deal with it, the fact that I wanted to swing at my DI when i knew beforehand why they were doing what they were doing, I couldnt help but think what I would do to an inmate if they pissed me off that badly which would have lead to a massive lawsuit and prison time for sure.  I pulled my groin back in march or so which was why I stopped squatting n deadlifting so I could rehab it.  Well after going there and doing a million flutter kicks and bicycle crunches that pain is back and didn't feel it was worth fucking it up all of the way.  Basically for now I weighed the good with the bad and it's just not what I want to do, be cooped up in a prison all day with murderers and rapists.  I still have a few things in the works, I applied for a nuclear security job which pays better and wont have to deal with that shit, I'm still on the county CO list, city police department list, and a steel mill in my area that pays an ass load.  I was also looking into getting back into college for the physical therapist assistant program.

Idk, I'm going to go workout and get my mind off of it.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on June 08, 2015, 03:33:46 pm
Chest and tris

my strength is down a lot but that was to be expected.

bench: 135x10, 185x10, 205x5, 225x5
DB flyes: 30x10, 40x10, 30x10
Tricep extensions: rope and vbar, idk 3 sets of 10 each, idk the weight

30 min time limit(30 count means 1-2-3-1, 1-2-3-2 etc etc)

1 minute front leaning rest
Jumping Jacksx30 count
8 count push upsx5
Squats(bend and touch the back of your calves)x 30 count
push upsx10
Jumping jacksx30 count

I'm not sure how many rounds I did but that is like a mini session of what we were doing in the academy

weight: 269-270, it was flickering back and forth
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on June 13, 2015, 09:51:16 pm
This week was a easy getting back into it week

Next week Im going to wing it with breaking my workouts into 20 minute blocks ....so something like this

20 min run( might run 1 day for full 20 mins and the next do 10 min run 10 min jog)

20 min strength/bb

20 min crossfit( which will be a lot of rest involved)

20 min bw PT session

The strength/bb part wont be too hardcore, just enough to feel it since i wanna focus on bw movements

Also im thinking this could be mon, wed, friday and tuesday n thursday could be light running n pt

Its not set in stone, worried about squatting though.  My air squats are fucked because the squats we did for pt put us in a rounded back position and quarter squats.  Only way to keep up since the DI was doing half assed everything and we did about 2-500 a day each day.

Yesterday I was rushing it a bit, had to get home before 930

20 minute run= 30-40 second laps so it was around 2 miles I believe
   - It felt really easy at the pace I was going, it felt like a good warm up with a little bit heavier breathing than normal but it felt good

20 minute bb session: lat pulldowns for 3 sets with the 3 different handles
                                    Grip work holding the bar with 1 hand: worked up to maybe 5-10 seconds holding 165lbs
                                    bicep curls
Couldnt do the PT in the morning because they found a condom in the pool room where I do my bw shit and they locked the doors but at night they had them open so I did it at night

Yeah. I have a feeling its the guy that works in the weight room since he can only see his 17 year old gf at the gym haha its weird but i just mind my own business.

I believe my weight is around 275, i put back on 5lbs just from getting a normal amount of fluids again and food, when i weighed 269 i had like nothing in me.  Also just trying to figure shit out, I'm going to make an appointment with admissions to get put on the list for the PTA program and a college near me so if that goes down itll be next year I'm guessing until I can get into that, and in the mean time just work and take classes to get them out of the way.

I've been thinking and even when my groin heals, Idk if I want to go back to the academy.  I can make 22-25 an hour as a PTA which is the same pay as a CO and I wont have to get shanked or have shit thrown on me.

Ima do some workouts tonight, and tomorrow will be at night because i have MSHA training all day.

Post by: John Stamos on June 26, 2015, 12:35:08 pm
Yesterday was a 20 minute run followed by some db work for shoulders

today was a 10 minute run
skwaats: I only did triples up to 275, didnt want to push it since my hammies were fired up and I didnt want to stress my groin too much
hammy curls, single legs

that was pretty much it, had to cash my check n do some shopping before work later

I'm weighing in around 275-276 and done being a fat ass, i had my binge eating after the academy and thats over now, going to buy another 10lb thing of protein and get back to eating a bit cleaner

Soo where to begin

Friday I had to do an extra shift from 4-8 at the cornell museum.  When I got there I got a call saying the night guard at my main job site quite.  So from the museum I had to go to the other job site and cover her shift as well as mine, so no gym on saturday morning because I worked from 1030 friday night to 1030 saturday night which was no bueno and am still feeling it.  Nothing yesterday just felt tired as shit and today im moving slowly but I'm about to head out. 

20 minute run with some chest and tris today

Post by: John Stamos on July 08, 2015, 07:41:01 am
Just woke up, waiting to shower n hit the gym up

20 min run

Bench with some slanger sets thrown on in the end
DB OH press for 4 sets
Incline or flat...probably flat DB Hex press for 4 sets
some side and front raises
machine work for triceps

and some bw movements, I figured out my paycheck problem n h'what not yesterday so I shouldnt have to rush anything this morning

Also I was thinking of long term goals and I remember reading about a guy from juggernaut who squatted over 700lbs or something and did marathons n ironmans and what not, granted the likelihood that he was on roids is pretty high.

I wouldn't mind, long term being able to

Skwaat 600lbs
Run a competitive 10k(not kenya fast but something that will be somewhat impressive)
and of course dunk 10ft again


Whats a competitive realistic 10k time thats not like something an olympic runner would do it in?

Whats a competitive realistic 10k time thats not like something an olympic runner would do it in?

About 1 hour is the 'milestone' for average Joe runners.

Real life sample:
Adarq, who was rather good trained for it with his daily 7mile runs, did 5K  in ~23m a few months ago and that was enough to get him in the top 3.5%.

04/02/2015

bw = 178

run: ran an official 5k
- 22:50
- placed 205 out of 7,000+


Edit:
Men's WR is 26:17, i can't find words to describe how beastly inhuman this performance is, 100 consecutive 15.5 100m runs, dammit!!!

Thats not too bad then, back in HS I did 6 miles in an hour(treadmill) and had a 500lb box skwaat at 200-205lbs

Well I have my work cut out for me, when I sign up for classes if I cant do some online then I'll sign up for the fitness class where you just go to workout just to get another session in.


I did 10-15 minute run today, all of the old people flooded to the track so i ended it

Bench- shoulder acted up around 225 but did triples at 185, 205, 225, 245, 255
OH press- Palms facing each other or else the shoulder feels shitty
                30x15, 35x15, 40x10, 45x10, 50x10
supine hex press: worked up to 50 from 30s for sets of 10-15
db side raise- 30s without a swing for 4x10-15

Going back tonight to finish up the run n do the bw stuff
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: LBSS on July 08, 2015, 10:52:45 am
agree with vag, shoot for an hour. that's just under 10 min/mile pace. i ran 5k in 20:xx sophomore year of high school, the one year i ran xc, and it wasn't good enough for varsity at my sport-challenged school. you had to be under 19:30 and i was a wuss about grinding out the miles. nothing can replace grinding out the miles. so i went back to fencing and went to junior olympics HEYOOOOO.

Post by: John Stamos on July 08, 2015, 01:44:00 pm
Sounds good, I figured I don't have any real goals so the gym doesn't feel as good as when I'm working towards something.

Goal bw: idk fuck bw lol as long as I look better and perform better
        5k: Hour/ then work towards 55 mins, 50 mins, etc just to see how far I can push it until I see my performance elsewhere suffer
Skwaat: 600lbs
 Bench:  Shit Idk, 405 sounds like a good long term goal
Deadlift: 600lbs, my best is a bit over 500

Once I buy another car for work and what not, probably going with a newer civic for the gas mileage, I will be doing a monthly membership to an old gym I used to go to.  It just has so much more shit, better cardio equipment, no rules, hotter women, and its where I looked the best and the cougars are hungry there

30 min AMRAP

50 jumping jacks(forgot i dont have a jump rope no mo)
10 push ups
50 wallballs

I went out the gate too fast on the first round and went unbroken, I havent done wallballs in a long time so my legs cramped up after the first round and made it worse as time went on

i had about 3 minutes left on my last 50 wallballs and when I got to 25 i felt so sick(85-90 degree room) i called it quites

total reps: 525 reps

I received my new reactive slingshot in the mail and dicked around getting more volume work in on the bench, working with sets of 15 from 135-225 and back down.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 18, 2015, 02:47:34 pm
on Friday I did some shoulders, nothing too amazing to report. I just downloaded a new tabata timer with the new running GPS app so it will be easier for me to see how far I am really going in my 20 minute jogs.

Nothing this morning, going to relax, watch the CF games at noon and wait for the pre-workout to come from UPS that I gotta beta test and use it for a workout later tonight.

I think tonight is do do do shoulders

Probably nothing too bananas just a 20 min run, some DB work, tricep work, grip work and tabata
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 22, 2015, 03:49:19 pm
Ima go see ant man tonight so ill hit up shoulders tomorrow

Also, the CF games was a shit show today, the beach events are so horribly boring
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 23, 2015, 04:05:18 pm
The first day of taking the supplement for the beta test- i mean it woke me up and gave me a little bit of energy, nothing amazing though

20 minute run, was fairly easy and felt good

DB standing OH press for 10-15 reps each from 30s-70s by 5lb increments

DB side raise and bent over raises for rear delts
     -  Those were 4 sets of 10 each or so

Im going tonight to do my Tabata and another run to make up for yesterday, couldnt do tabata this morning because my phone was dead
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 24, 2015, 03:13:10 pm
Going to hit some skwaats tonight or maybe just go soon in like a half hour with a ton of hammy work
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 24, 2015, 11:26:45 pm
Skwaats

did doubles up to 305 or 315, no pain or discomfort in my groin so thats a good sign
Then i did front squats with a normal front rack but I'm nowhere near as flexible as I was so I didnt want to go above 225

Hammy work

Stiff legged rack pulls: started with the BB a few inches away from my shins so it put more stress on the hammys, worked up to 275

then some hammy curls and bicep work
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 25, 2015, 03:28:53 pm
well, starting this week I have an idiotic idea but I will see where it will go.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday: run 20 minutes
Tuesday, Thursday: fast mile

normal strength and body building stuff will remain the same each day, but after each workout from Monday to Friday I will do the open workouts starting from 2011

For example this monday

20 min run
Chest/tris

10 min AMRAP 11.1
60 Jump rope
15 snatches @ 75#

Most workouts wont be the regular opens, ill have to modify them since a muscle up is pretty much impossible for me right now lol
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 25, 2015, 06:00:36 pm
Walked 3.5 miles today, was gonna go out n do another 1.5 miles but my boots tore my feet up.   

Fastest pace was a 18:20? Mile somewhere around there but after the first half mile i went from a 16:20-18 min pace.

Itd be a nice goal to walk it in 16 mins but the problem is all of the damn hills here.

Yeah i havent checked my weight in awhile, id say about 270 or so but I dont feel like it.  I keep saying year after year i want to get back to 210 or so but i self sabotage and come up with excuses to justify being a fat fuck like i want to do powerlifting meets so idc about my weight.  In reality i dont lol powerlifting meets are so damn boring.  But yeah im still one of the big guys lol
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 26, 2015, 02:42:29 pm
Not trying to be overly dramatic haha my main problem the first time I did CF was getting too involved with getting good at the metcons and falling away from the strength portion.  I did so by combining the two together and i didnt catch on quick enough that my strength stalled.  Hopefully this time around keeping them separate that wont happen.  Also wednesdays are oly days.  Depending on how i feel ill do a tabata after the open workout or at night.  Im interested to see where ill go with it and i mean come on look at Brooke Wells, if i can ever make it to the games ill bring a ring with me to propose to her haha
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Flander on July 26, 2015, 03:08:52 pm
Haha I know. Theres some fine ladies in that competition.

You are heavier than me but we should still try out some friendly competition. Would be nice for me to compare with a bigger guy for once. All the guys at my box are much smaller than me or big but weak. I have yet to compare with a big and strong guy.

Something you could see the fun in?

Maybe plan a workout to do each week n compare scores or pick some of the girls n compare scores ummm the only thing is i dont go to a box so the heaviest medball is 10lbs and no kbs, shit like that

It looks like ben smith won the games.  I was rootin for Frasee since Ben smith grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth.  From what i remember in a video he pretty much said momma poppa can i pwease haf my own cf gym? And boom he gets one which makes it odd it took him 5 years to win when thats all he had to focus on.

Post by: John Stamos on July 27, 2015, 10:43:29 am
20 minute run: Had to use the dreadmill for my run, too many people on the track
Tried to just do 10 minute splits and completed 2.1 miles in the 20 minute, it was fairly easy until the end when i jacked it up from 6.2 to 8mph for a 10th and then to 9mph for the last minute.  I would like to be able to do 8 minute splits in the future

Bench:45x10, 95x10, 135x10, 165x3, 185x3, 215x3, 230x3, 260x3, 280x1(felt like 85-90%)
Slanger(reactive) 225x2x15
Close grip: 135x10 paused

Incline DB Hex press: 30, 40, 50, 60x10

tricep pushdowns on lat pulldown, v bar and ropes for 3 sets of 10 each




Just finished 11.1, had to modify it, no jump rope here is long enough

10 min AMRAP.

15 jumping jax
15 snatxh at 65lbs
5 full rounds + 18

168 reps

I was doing 75lb snatchers for the first round but i havent done them in awhile and my shoulders and trapz just burnt up back and felt like a complete puss.

I am thinking about just doing the womens weight for the first 5wks of this and if i revisit it to do another cycle right after, ill do the mens weight
Title: Re: Eric's Journal

Ya every now and then we pick a wod and compare results. Could be fun.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 27, 2015, 03:42:44 pm
Alright, sounds fun, treat it like the open and just do 1 each week and log results by friday

I might have to buy a new set of bumpers, 10lbers at least to do some from the floor though so until I do, ill stick with hang cleans and snatches

Maybe have a versus section on here somewhere and have someone be in charge of picking a WOD for the week and anyone can put their results in
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Flander on July 27, 2015, 04:16:40 pm
Could be cool. Ill have to see if I can get one done every week.

How do we control movement standards?
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 28, 2015, 09:19:57 am
I'm not too sure, for awhile we can just do movements like power cleans and power snatches since I havent done them in awhile, I'll have to relearn it, ill have to relearn double unders and pull ups wont be for quite some time too lol  If all goes well though, itll only take me a week or so to teach my body how to clean and snatch again

I'm feeling a bit eh, my trapz are sore which is causing a head ache so ill have to take some shit for it before i go to the gym

Fast mile...."fast" lol I'll go on the dreadmill and just shot for idk 9 min pace to start out and on thursday ill judge it from todays pace.
The workout
8:32 Mile run

Deadlift pin pulls from mid shin: worked up to 365
Lat pulldown: single handles for 4 sets of 10-15 and 4 sets reversed grip to hit biceps
                      V bar handle: 4 sets of 10

11.2(switching box jumps with jumping jax)

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
9 Deadlifts (135lbs / 70kg)
12 Push-ups
15 air skwaats
Results
7 rounds +3: 255 reps
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Flander on July 28, 2015, 11:47:01 am
Cool.

When are you ready? Im going to the gym this weekend so I know I could get a wod done then.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 28, 2015, 12:07:45 pm
I will let you know, my gym closes down on the 3rd? i think for cleaning and opens up the following week, so next week I will check out a new gym in auburn that has olympic platforms and what not, if not then we can just wait the week til I can go back because the other gyms i typically go to, itd be hard to do a WOD
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 29, 2015, 08:39:10 am
Old Iron ankles they call me, no dorsiflexion at all.

I might skip the 20 min run today to warm up and stretch for the olympic lifts because I would like to be able to do more than just a half assed power clean.

I will have to look at my best, i think it was like 250 or 260 or something, and I believe 1 of the main reasons for that was my double overhand grip is super weak so the weight felt heavier than it should which is why im deadlifting with double overhands right now to build it up

Just skill work, had to go shopping afterwards and wait for my jump rope to get delivered.

OH Skwaat- worked up from the bar to just idk 100lbs or something, my mobility is shit but it didnt feel too bad once i got into it
Snatch- started with the bar and worked my way up slowly, did multiple sets just adding on 10lbs or 5lbs here n there, went to idk 110lbs or something to get the feel
Cleans- felt worse than snatch mobility wise but i got the squat catch easier, just my elbows cant go idk up enough for a proper rack position. think i worked to 135

so i will probably just keep doing skill work days until i feel good about them.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 29, 2015, 04:26:00 pm
I've come to the conclusion that lifting weights, cardio and not eating like complete shit doesn't work lol  I have been fairly decent with my eating habits, hitting the gym and my runs and metcons, and i just keep gaining weight.  I don't think i am taking it more fluids than usual, its possible but when ive been hanging around 275-277 for a few weeks and all of a sudden this morning on an empty stomach after the workout im at 282 is just gay titties.

So starting idk tomorrow i guess, it wont be an accurate one estimate of my eating because i went and bought a lot of ground turkey and hwhat not but I will recount my calories for a few days and try to log everything to see where i am fucking up.

anyway, waiting for FedEx to show up, i did 3 rounds of jump rope and 1 lap down and back my driveway(2/10 of a mile down and back) Tonight I will probably do some active recovery shit on the rower, foam rolling, stretching etc etc
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 29, 2015, 05:49:41 pm
Tonight I'll do

Elizabeth- Clean 135
                 Dips(with the reactive slanger to save my shoulders)
              -21-15-9 reps
Switched dips with push ups, I had everything set up and some mouth breather with big ass glasses starts doing pull ups so i started Elizabeth and didnt realize until round of 15 that he did like 4 and went to something else

Jump rope/front leaning rest(plank)

I just did as many as i could in 1 round of jump rope until i fucked up then i did like a half minute plank or so

half km row on the rower, went nice and easy but wasnt breathing heavy at all and was at the same pace as I was for my all out KMs about a month or two ago.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 30, 2015, 10:01:19 am
Seated shoulder press(dbs) just warmed up going from 30s-70s by 5lb increments for sets of 10 or so
side raise, idk kept it light, 20-25lbs or so for 5 sets of 10
bent over raise- same as side raise
tricep work, pushdowns with a v bar and rope for 4 sets or so of 10-15

then 11.4 which will def be modified, i am so fucking sore lol

60 Bar-facing burpees(regular burpees)
30 Overhead squats (120lbs / 55kg) probably just going to use the bar or like 65lbs so i can focus on the movement
20 fatman pullups instead of muscle ups

this is for as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes and i guarantee i will get probably only 1 round lol the burpees will kill me

yeah I got 1 round finished by the 20 second mark lol  the burpees was obviously the hardest part but last time when I first started if you told me that I had to do 60 burpees n then some in 10 minutes I woulda flipped you off.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 30, 2015, 06:04:54 pm
Sitting here, sore as balls and I want to go to the gym to do something but i might just save it since i gotta do some skwaats in the AM and h'what not, dmv, some other shit then I gotta head out to work.

I was thinking about what i was going to be doing next week since the gym is closed for cleaning and I think I may just run and do a lot of body weight movements, some tire flips, kb swings and just make up random hard shit, have it be something like

mon, wed, fri: long wods(20 minute caps) twice a day with a run
tues, thurs: Short sprint wods(5-10 minute caps) 4x a day with a run
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on July 31, 2015, 01:59:14 pm
Skwaats, skipped the run again because i hate running on treadmills and had to do a fast workout.

Skwaats: sets were 45, 95, 135,165, 185, 205, 225, 255, 275, 305, 315, 325, 335.....did i do 345? I cant remember but instead of low bar wide im trying to keep my stand shoulder width or so and idk medium bar? its not really high but its above my rear delts.
    - No groin pain so thats still good

lots of hammy work on the machine.

gym closes tomorrow so monday i begin the bw and running stuff and this weekend i will plan everything out.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 02, 2015, 11:37:14 am
What i have planned

Monday
Morning: 2 mile run; every 5 mins 20 pushups, 20 air skwaats, 10 burpees

Afternoon: 20 min AMRAP 10 Tire flips, 20 kb swings, 10 wall ball

Night: mile run

Tuesday
Morning: mile run, trap bar walks with 145lbs
Afternoon: burpees x7 minutes, keg cleansx 7mins
Night: mile run


Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 04, 2015, 10:27:49 am
This morning was just horrible.  The track I ran on is an old crappy one at a park near my house, uneven as shit.  Anyway it felt horrible to run on so i did the first mile while doing 20 push ups and 20 air squats, the second mile i walked one, ran one etc etc. My lower back and legs were tight as shit.

I might just do tabata later because its supposed to storm n shit in a bit and all week its going to be like this I suppose so i will have to figure something out, maybe just go to a gym for a day and go balls deep in everything.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 05, 2015, 03:53:51 pm
Did a 20 min AMRAP today

5 tire flips, 5 keg cleans and a idk 150ft walk with a 45lb plate overhead

later some Tabata

Next week I think i might do the open workouts and a 20 minute AMRAP with light enough weight and movements n what not that will make me sweat but I can keep moving without having to stop and huff n puff n stare at the barbell.

something like

10 push ups
5 OH Skwaat
5 burpees
10 wallballs


20 min jog
20 min amrap
movement work(chest/tris)  I really cant isolate muscles for shit so thats why i just stick with bench, 1 db movement and tricep movement
open workout

I am also going to buy stan efferdings Kooler, that way I can bring an intra and post workout shake with me, i remember last time at the gym i felt exhausted halfway through.  Also I have to have milk in my preworkouts and doing a milk pre-workout shake and leaving it in the gym for an hour or so will be pretty gross by the end.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 07, 2015, 02:38:48 pm
just been doing little tabatas here n there, nothing special, pretty lazy week lol

Next week going to ramp it up though since the gym will be back open and tuesday morning or wednesday, depending on the weather will be a beach morning.  Thinking of 5 rounds of 1 run the length of the beach, 20 air skwaats, 10 burpees.  After that a hike to fill out the rest of the hour or so and then head to the gym for the regular workout.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 08, 2015, 01:54:06 pm
I am tracking my calories today and I am tracking how many miles I walk at work to see just how bad I am doing outside of the gym.  As of right now I have taken in 805 calories and walked two miles which if my app was correct is about 250 calories and if my bmr was somewhat accurate in college i might burn 2500 a day or so.  I am going to aim for 3k calories a day n adjust from there.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 08, 2015, 09:17:40 pm
Hit my 3k calories and yeah ive been over eating lol. 3k calories aint shit.  Throwing in extra veggies so i dont get hungry when i get home.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 09, 2015, 08:52:30 pm
Warm up: 3 rounds
Air skwaatsx20
Burpeesx10
1 lap run

10 min run
10 min rower

Chest/tris
Bench: 12x3-5 from bar-235-135
Incline Hex Press: 4x10 from 30-60x10lb increments
Tricep pushdowns

7 min time cap
3,6,9,12 etc etc of thrusters n fat man pullups.

round of 15 completed plus 4
94 reps, just used the barbell for the thrusters and idk if it made it harder or not since with weight it forces me in a better position.

Lol I'll see you at the Games!

I will do mine on wednesday, its storming here today and tomorrow. 


I am enjoying the gym again though since starting CF again and starting this competition.  Before I was just doing BB stuff after i left the academy I was in the gym for like 35 minutes or so and i just tried to do my workouts as fast as possible so I could get outta there.  Today I was there for about 2 hours and loved it.

Also, some old guy asked if I needed a spot on the bench when I was still warming up with 135 :uhhhfacepalm:

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 11, 2015, 10:42:44 am
Lol it's happened a few times, especially when I do speed work

Today

Warm up- jump ropex200
                some stretching

10 minute run

deadlifts from pins halfway between mid shin and foot so not much higher than a normal deadlift
worked up to 345 double overhand, trying to stay away from a over under grip which I can lift a lot more but I need to work on grip

Inverted rows- 4x10

Lat pulldown, 4 sets of single handles and a vbar thing with sets of biceps between with DBs

12.1: AMRAP Burpees in 7 Minutes
60 reps got up and stopped the clock at 1 second left.  So I'm not sure if thats good or not, probably not but i bested my time by probably a minute or so last time i did the 60 burpees

Im whooped, gonna hit up chilis(the light part of the menu)

Lets see, it was my olympic day

Worked on OH squats first, trying to get my grip closer and closer, I think if I can eventually get to where froning has his grip itd be more beneficial for me since Im not in a CF gym or a gym that has bumper plates.

I worked up to 145 with ring finger on the outside rings, I believe i did like 3-5 reps or something, just letting it back down onto my trapz is a pain in the ass.
I think my progression was bar, 65, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145

Hang Cleans, worked on catching it in the hole in the beginning but I need to stretch my forearms and what not out more before i go up in weight but I think i did it up to like idk 95lbs

Hang power cleans: worked up to 195 for a 90% or so which idt is too bad of a start considering last time I believe I started a lot lower.  I did a lot of sets up to 195 but Im not sure what the weights were, I just threw random plates on.

Snatch, just focused on form for this since my WOD contained only snatches
worked up to 95lbs, felt better than last time and lighter.

12.2- 10 minute AMRAP
the weights are normally a lot higher than I used for the WOD but fuck that noise, im not there yet lmao
I did

Barx30
55x30
65x30
75x17

my shoulders and trapz were on fire


I tried mine and flanders WOD right after and I got to my 40th push up like him and my chest locked up but i tried to soldier on and then 2 girls came out onto the track and some old lady just walking n taking the whole thing up so now i have to redo it later today.

I believe by the time i got to my 40th push up i was 3 minutes in or something so im guessing fairly slow lol

Also I will review the Kooler since I got to use it for the first time today

Well lets see, its nice but not exactly what I expected.

I was assuming you can fill the 2 shaker bottles in it but how you put it in, one shaker cup goes into another so you cant fill them both up all of the way.  But you can fill the cooler part with ice and water but I like milk so if i do ice and milk then i would have to bring a towel with me to wipe off the outside of the shaker bottle.  If they could make it so the bottles are side by side and not stacked inside of each other so you can fill 2 at once itd be great.  Thats my only complaint though but I still liked it since warm protein shakes are gross and the water at my gym tastes like salty fish ass.

Post by: John Stamos on August 12, 2015, 12:43:44 pm
Yeah I will get mine soonish maybe ill do some push ups n see how sore I am, if im too sore ill get some bengay and n let it relax a bit n head to the track.

Also Flander, for your snatches, do you use any kind of elbow sleeves or anything?  I've always been paranoid after watching the O-lifters snapping their elbows on snatches, granted they use a lot of weight but its still one of those paranoias lol

Just did my challenge WOD
5 rounds of 100m run and 30 hand release push ups.

The first round wasnt too bad, immediately broke it up into sets of 10
Second round, sets of 10
third round, sets of 5
4th round, sets of 5 and ended with quick sets of 2
5th round, quick sets of 2-4, I was fairly burnt out by the third round

with a time of! LBSS has it lol
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Flander on August 12, 2015, 05:06:18 pm
Nah I dont use elbow sleeves. On heavier lifts I use wrist wraps.

You did bigger sets than me. Im excited to see your time.

Post by: John Stamos on August 12, 2015, 09:34:37 pm
Tomorrow, waiting to see if im hitting up a beach workout or not.  If so I will do the beach workout and hike, head to the gym right afterwards to do shoulders

300x jump rope
10 min run

Shoulders
DB OH press
DB Side raise
DB rear delt raise
Snatch grip pulls, idk what the exactly call them, get into a hang snatch position then you just go as far as the hip drive and the shrug

12.3
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 18 minutes of:
15 Box jumps, 24" box ( wall balls)
115 pound Push press, 12 reps
9 Toes-to-bar (KB swing)

Lets see, I will switch box jumps with wall balls since box jumps are dumb and KB swings for toes to bar

Also, I have the same WOD coming up again for 12.5 I believe it is thats the same as i dont remember haha but its the

3/3, 6/6, 9/9.....thrusters and pull ups, I will use the same weight and I am aiming for 126 reps

AND THE WINNER IS...[drumroll]...Flander, with a time of 12:38, besting Eric's 13:10. Pretty close there, fellas. Do another one!
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 13, 2015, 12:28:26 pm
yeah shit, I figured he woulda won haha  I'll get him on one of these.

today just did some quick shoulders, did OH db press, side raise and rear delts with tricep work all in like 15 minutes, i have a hair appointment soon so i figured someone would be in the shower by the time i got home from the full workout and my hair dresser is super hot so  I dont want to smell bad.

We could try jackie, i just do inverted rows instead of pull ups cuz of the spare tire im carrying around lol

Ya lets do that. Ive wanted to try Jackie for a while. Ill do kipping pullups. I might have a chance to do it this weekend. Else Ill have to try and squeeze it in next week.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 13, 2015, 05:24:09 pm
Sounds good, I think i might just do it monday

Also, was going to do the open wod tonight but Ima try to get to the gym around 530 tomorrow and I will just do back to back open WODs which I've tried before but that was with 4 of them back to back.  If anyone reads this, checking out dan baileys video 4 on 1 where he does 4 wods against 4 people doing 1 each it's pretty impressive.  I'm just too sore and going tonight to do 12.3 or whatever im up to would be pointless considering the OH pressing in it considering how torn up my shoulders are.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2015, 08:40:27 am
workout at 630am wasn't going to happen lol

Ahhh shit this morning i suppose

Front squats: work up to triples
Back squats: start where I stop on front squats and work up multiple sets of triples
hammy work
ab work

12.3
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 18 minutes of:
15 wall balls
115 pound Push press, 12 reps
9 KB swing

Then jump right into 12.4

Amrap: 12 minutes
150 Wall balls (20 lbs to 10' target)
90 Double-unders
30 Muscle-ups
-I wont have to worry about the muscle up part probably lol but if I do ill just do idk jumping jax or something.

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2015, 11:22:22 am
Gotta make this quick

front squats: worked up to 205, obviously have more than that in me but my front rack position is almost non existent
Back squat: worked up to 365, if my progress still goes up this slowly next week then my leg day will be on mondays and I will only add bench in maybe twice a month and do more OH pressing

hammy curls: single leg from 25-65lbs, back when I was squatting over 500 I was doing like 110 single leg for sets of 10

WOD 12.3 or whatever
I believe i got 9 rounds

WOD 12.4
I got all of the all balls and all of the jump rope when time finished, but i finished off the 30 jumping jax anyway
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2015, 12:47:39 pm
594 reps aint too bad for a workout, minus the squats and hammy curls.  Granted ive seen mat fraser and froning do a open workout, i forgot which one and get like 650 reps in just 1 WOD haha

Today is 12.5 :uhhhfacepalm: which is the same as one of the 11.? with 3,3,6,6,9,9 of thrusters n pull ups for 7 minutes uggggh this one burns

So I will do something like this

Warm up
Jackie
Chest/tris
12.5
10 min run
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 17, 2015, 10:42:28 am
Jackie: Horrible, lol  I think the rower is screwed up in my gym.  Rowing form is one of the only things I'm good at but when I was rowing today i was sitting there thinking like wtf this is taking longer than it should.  Some of the pulls read .008 and some read .015 and yet i had the same stroke throughout so idk what was going on with it.  I broke my thrusters up 30, 10, 10 since my ass cramped up on me

Bench:  working up slowely to 240x3 with a lot of sets between, I had 0 energy after jackie, when its moderately hot out they crank the AC up and i work better when its warmer so I had a hard time catching my breath

tricep work(I figured ill be doing a lot of pressing so the incline db hex press probably isnt worth doing right now)
just some pushdowns on the lat pulldown

I skipped 12.5 this morning and will probably do it tonight because i just did 80 reps of the same exercises

weight: 286. YEP :raging:  I haven't been eating bad, sticking with my workouts and i just keep gaining weight, no fucking clue why, DIET and EXERCISE don't work.  Macronutrients and eating healthy are a myth.  Going to the store today and saying fuck it, I'm going full blownsys on a BB style diet.

I just do inverted Rows, I can do a few strict pull ups but thats it, if I kipped on the tower I'd flip it over....It's already happened before haha quite embarrassing.

I got like a 7:52 or something but no matter what you did more work and automatically won

Alright, I'll probably finish it on monday morning.

This morning(there needs to be a sweat angel emojiticon thing idk what you call them)

Skillz work

I worked up slowly by 5 or 10lb increments from the bar

OH Skwaat: worked up slowly, i think  i went to 150, felt super easy.

Hang snatch: did 3 reps of  where you just do the first part of the pull without catching it, just trying to teach myself to hit with my hips and shrug then I'd do 2 reps of a snatch
       - Worked up to 120, grip was shot from yesterday and the previous reps, I will have to see what i can do to help with my grip with my hands out that wide.

Hang Clean:DId the same, worked up to 200, I definitely have to get my front rack position back to what it used to be.

13.1
Completed 2 Full rounds LMAO
Total reps: 130
       - I feel like I sandbagged it a little bit, I was definitely huffing n puffing but I coulda done the burpees faster I think and got half another round at least

13.2
5 OH press 95lbs
10 deadlifts
15 wallballs

Completed 5 rounds
total reps: 150 reps

Weight: 280.00

I kind of like doing 2 open wods a workout back to back instead of just one so maybe i will do it twice a week or something, so I will do 2 back to back on friday.

So tomorrows workout

Warm up run

Shoulders, tris

13.3
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
150 Wall balls (20 lbs to 10' target)
90 Double-unders
30 Muscle-ups

I obviously cant do muscle ups yet lol so if I get to the muscle ups then ill just do jumping jax, and the pool area was locked again so jump rope might be out of the question since theres no place to do it in the gym so i will figure something else out, maybe idk ill figure it out haha




Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 19, 2015, 12:34:07 pm
Flander, got any tips for snatch grip width?

I read online one thing you can do is hold your arms out parallel with the floor and measure elbow to elbow or hold the barbell standing straight up and adjust your grip until the barbell is at hip level.

I also think i need to throw more back work in, some heavy pendley rows n what not
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Flander on August 19, 2015, 03:08:58 pm
I use three methods.

1) grip it and stand up. Bend over with the bar in the hip crease. If you bend your arms you hold to narrow.

2) hold it overhead. Distance from bar to top of head should be somewhere around 8".

3) using a broomstick or pvc pipe make a 90 degree angle between your arms.

These are guidelines of course, but working with groups its fast. My grip is fairly narrow because I lack some mobility in my wrists.

THis morning will be

skwaats and hammy work

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
150 Wall balls (20 lbs to 10' target)
90 air skwaats
30 of something idk ill figure it out, maybe kb swings

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 21, 2015, 11:19:27 am
I combined the two wods into 1 n set the timer for 19 mins. 

13.3 i got 1 round +4 - 274
13.4 i got to round 18 but did 21 cleans on accident- 111

Total Reps: 385

For skwaats i did triples for
bar, 95, 135, 160, 185, 205, 225, 250, 275, 300, 315
then some paused reps at 225 and 135

OH Skwaats: I only used the bar, I started out with my hands at the collars and slowly worked my way in, the closest i got was maybe an inch outside of  my clean grip and i could definitely tell my back def needs a massage

also for 13.3 i did kb swings instead of idk i think it was muscle ups, and did air skwaats in 13.4


weight: 282, my arms and trapz are bigger and i feel like im a little bit leaner so the scale can eat a bowl of dicks

then did some tricep pushdowns

had to skip 13.5 or whatever because i have to get my shit ready to go to work tonight

Post by: John Stamos on August 25, 2015, 08:10:10 am
Gonna hit some Back/Bis and 13.5 today, also going to start off with OH squat because they are probably the best thing ever.  After that gotta pitch a job proposal to my buddy for being the plant manager and runnin that bitch

gonna do it tonight, my proposal went well, as long as it gets approved ill be focusing on taking care of inventory
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 26, 2015, 11:21:53 am
Didn't do anything yesterday, got super lazy and furious 7 came out on amazon video so yeah lol oh well

This morning

OH squat warm up with bar, just going from my grip next to the collars and working my way in.

OH squat: did 2-3 reps each
bar, 65, 85, 100, 120, idk i worked my way up slow to 170 for a 2015 PR

Snatch: worked up small increments from bar to 135 2015 PR

Clean: Small increments, went from 95-205  2015 PR

Lat pulldowns, focusing on thoracic extension and doing pause on the bottom near the chest for 5 reps for 4 sets

13.5 I think it was

fuck this one sucked

4 minute intervals
3 rounds
10 back thrusterx barbell
10 kb swingsx30
finished the 3 rounds before the 4 minutes then rest until the 4 minutes are up and continue on for another 4 minutes until you cant finish

I did 6 rounds i believe, total of 24 minutes and I could've kept going for another round or two but I had to decide between a few more rounds or shitting my pants so I figured I'd cut it short.

afterwards felt tired but fine and then boom felt sick

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 28, 2015, 12:51:45 pm
Warm up: OH squat starting with grip at collars and working my way in towards my normal grip i used for cleans and bench

SKwaat: triples up to 325, not too bad it felt easier than 300 lol but i remember only a few months back I was doing 405 for 10 raw
total of 12 sets

14.1- 6 rounds+ 2 double unders
For some reason it felt super heavy like everything else after this workout

Chipper: I believe 27:32 and skipped the burpees, i was so damn whooped i said fuck burpees ill be here all day
Title: Re: Eric's Journal

Post by: John Stamos on August 28, 2015, 05:22:11 pm
sounds good, those are the ones I like, not too taxing if you pace right(I'm no dan bailey or froning so going balls out isnt a possibility or me right now lol) but still working up a good sweat

Total reps for WODS

802 reps
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: Flander on August 29, 2015, 12:59:21 am
In my box I usually finish near the top the heavier and more skill demanding the wod is.

We have alot of cardio bunnies M/F who can kill any low skill, no brain wodand just go balls to the wall. I cant keep up with their pace for more than 5-10min. So I often loose on those wods.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 29, 2015, 03:54:31 pm
Yeah, when i wss at 250 i was better the longer the wod like the one i did a year or so ago.  1000 wallball, 400 pushups i think n 2000 single jump ropes for time.

Ive got mon planned

Warm upx 3 rounds
Bb snatchx10
Oh skwaatx10
Wallballx5

14.2

Oh skwaatx6
Fatman pullupsx6
0-3=6
3-6=8
6-9=10
9-12=12
12-15=14
15-18=16
     - I made it to round technically 18:00, i think but stopped cuz i mightve been a rep short of making the time cap, on the round from 12-15:00 i was supposed to do 14 but accidentally did 15

Chelsea
Otmem 30 mins
5 pullup
5pushup
10 air skwaat

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on August 29, 2015, 05:57:56 pm
If i can get to the gym early on monday like 6 or 7 ill do the workout i posted, rest for a bit n take in a protein shake or two and figure out a running wod n other stuff.   Also gotta start adding heavy wods

What ill do is have a cool off after each workout including

1km row
10 min run
20 burpees

Doesnt sound like much but over the course of the week thats 5km row, 50 min of running and 100 more burpees per week than i wouldve done and it should only take me 20 mins at the end of each workout

uggh looking back at my journal, in 2013 i weighed around 250 at the fair which was like 2 years and 3 days ago or so.  I gotta stop focusing on the strength part of it for now and just focus on try to get to 200-215 and just got balls out and keep as much strength as i can and just build up when i get to a better weight but paralysis by analysis i guess.

Post by: John Stamos on August 31, 2015, 08:47:28 pm
Yeah haha

I'm hoping crossfit does it for me again this time around.  The only thing that has worked was the academy but combined with the lack of sleep, the hour n a half long constant workout and god awful bland food isn't a route I want to go again since my strength levels shot down waaaay too low.

Plus I have probably 600 dollars in clothes that i can wear again once i get that low haha
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 01, 2015, 07:20:45 pm
Didnt go today, Mad Max came out lol  But also, that cramp i said i got yesterday, felt super shitty last night and woke up with it feeling worse

just a lil strain, i bought some potassium pills today but the serving size aint shit so ima buy some bananers tomorrow
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 02, 2015, 07:19:49 am
Yep im guessing its a strain...i strained it on a fucking rower...never mind the times I had 500+ on my back or picked up 500+, I was perfectly fine but god forbid my body gives out on a fucking rower.

so today ima just do my olympic shit and see what happens, gonna throw my knee sleeves on super tight to see if that will help
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 03, 2015, 08:03:47 am
Havent been to the gym in a few days, yesterday it was hard to walk on it.  This morning its better, gonna go and probably just do some walking and seated shit. Prob not gonna hit legs tomorrow, just do some light stuff and skip crossfit for the rest of the week until tuesday because the gym is closed on monday


Also, maybe taking this chance to switch legs to the beginning of the week instead of at the end since the weights arent going up as fast as I would like them too. And maybe gonna stop the open workouts, especially if im doing them and they are causing me to over work my body like how I think(and its my fault not crossfits) doing all of the thrusters n wallballs and squat movements strained my leg.

So my weekly set up could look like this

Squat:Heavy squats with a light metcon/challenge metcon
Push:Light push with a heavy metcon
Pull:beast mode lol..not really since my deadlift right now is a joke but medium metcon
Squat:Light squats with heavy metcon
Push:Heavy push with light metcon
Pull:(I'll try to go on saturdays) Light pull with heavy metcon

Sample Monday

Squats: work up to 90% triple
             Hammy curls
             single leg db box squats
           
             Metcon: BW stuff

heavy metcon days will mainly focus on BB movements...idk ill figure it out, i have to work 3-12 hour shifts this weekend so ill have plenty of time to write it up
Title: Re: Eric's Journal

Post by: John Stamos on September 16, 2015, 08:21:11 am
So I gotta make up for yesterday

Start off with jump rope for idk ill figure it out

some metcon I will look now

1.  “Macho Manâ€

EMOM for as long as possible:

3 Power Cleans + 3 Front Squats+ 3 Jerks, 100lbs

If you complete 10 rounds, add one rep to each movement for each additional minute.

For example minute 11 would be 4 Power Cleans+ 4 Front Squats + 4 Jerks.  Minute 12 would be 5 of each, and minute 13 would be 6 of each

then starting my normal pull workout
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 16, 2015, 01:02:09 pm
Jump rope for 3x100

Macho Man
3x3x3 of 100lb cleans/squat/press

minutes 0-11:00 I did 3x3x3
12:00 I did 4x4x4
13:00 5x5x5
14:00 6x6x6
15:00 7x7x7
16:00 4 cleans lol I was whooped but i finished the set

I started out with 95lbs and moved it up to 105lbs after minute 5, I forgot until the 12th minute that i was supposed to up the reps

Snatch grip deadlifts: Worked up to 295 which is a 10lb pr from a few weeks back or whenever I did it and grip felt good

Lat pulldown work, 4 sets each of 2 different handles

OH squat: just worked on form with 95lbsx4x?

150 wallballs for time,  I think i finished on 8:20
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 16, 2015, 03:23:58 pm
SO now that I think i figured out my problem(too low on good bacteria) I wonder if my dream last night was actually a premonition lol

I felt like I was still 280 but I was in the gym and decided to try and see if i can hit the rim.  I jumped up and managed to hit my forearm on the rim(ik a dream and mid forearm is the best i can do)  So i ran up to the scale and it showed 198 lol

If i can suffer through these workouts and be consistent  doing two metcons a day and whatever then hopefully by summer i can be down to 198-215.

Tomorrow squaaaaaat light weight

metcon warm up
squats
hammys
abs

skill work some more jump roping

metcon
I think I want to do Macho man again and just switch up the exercises, its one that will last awhile and keep me moving and challenge me.

so from 0-9:00 I will do 3/3/3 OTMEM of

KB swing
snatch
push up

then every minute beyond that is a +1 of reps
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 17, 2015, 08:02:37 pm
I'll double up tomorrow, this morning the driveway got blocked in by the guy dropping off the stones to fill in the potholes and trying to do a CF workout at night there is a nightmare
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 18, 2015, 02:26:25 pm
Squat(light)
warm ups to 185x5x3 paused skwaat
super set with jump ropex50

fire drill...wtf

OH press(strict) Worked up to 175x3

Snatching
multiple sets of 3, 2 from the hip and 1 hang from bar to 135 for a couple sets of singles

Macho man: snatch/kb swing/ push ups: made it to the round of 10 reps each and finished 2 seconds before the minute was up but was way too tired to go another round.

that is it i think idk it seems like i did a lot more than that but maybe not


I almost want to keep doing macho man each day and just use different exercises, 0-9:00 gets my sweat on nice and beyond that it gets my heart pumping and inevitably leads to a sweat angel.  I also figured maybe switch it up light n heavy idk, maybe I will do it every day next week just to see how it is
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 20, 2015, 11:39:47 am
tomorrow is legs so I will do the typical squats abs and hamstrings.

I will warm up with 10 burpees 10 cleans and 10 snatches.

10 burpees

Skwaat- triples
bar, 95, 135, 165, 185, 215, 225, 255, 275, 305
315 max reps of 10, this might be a PR for me for high bar

Macho Man: went to round of 9 i think and only finished the cleans and snatches
    - Problem with this was grip, my "engine" was fine and transition between grips ate up time

hammy curls, biceps, abs.  I was sore and my lower back was screaming for some reason during squats so I figured it's best not to do cleans and the pool room was locked so I couldnt junp rope.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 22, 2015, 03:16:33 pm
10 Burpees

Lol I love the comments on the video, people said bo jackson is and ironman athletes n what not.  I'm just taking it as the fittest man in history in crossfit, I know thats not what they mean but it helps me sleep at night lol  After experiencing crossfit, having a high 300s cleans, low 300 snatch, mid 300 bench and near 500 squat and being able to do retarded amounts of volume is unreal.  Especially considering he gets better as the workouts go on, he usually looks fresh on the 4th day of the games while everyone else looks dead.

I'm still going to buy the movie though since the reviews have all been good for it.

I want to start running but gonna wait for my weight to go down which is impossible lol  I'll figure it out soon

Also, ill plan my workout for tomorrow

Oh before that

i did strict pressing for my OH
First 2 minutes: 54 reps
Second 2 minutes: 40 reps
Third 2 minutes: 31 reps

Alright, tomorrow

burpees
some WOD to warm up, maybe the one I did today
Snatch deadlifts into regular deadlifts
hit some back up

skill work
cleans OTEM

then some WOD, I'll look for one now

idk

1-10 ladder

OH skwaat 95lbs
Thruster 95lbs

I rented the movie Cooties today and it has a funny crossfit joke

It's about a infected chicken nugget that turns a kid into a zombie n she infects one kid and it spreads throughout the summer school n the teachers have to fight them, its actually pretty damn good and funny.  Anyway once the kids turn the teachers are walking through the halls and another teacher pops out from a corner and yells "Follow me I do crossfit!!!!!" runs outside and gets eaten lol

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 30, 2015, 11:02:24 am
This morning was blah

10 burpees
3 rounds of 10 wall balls and 10 push ups

Snatch grip deadlifts: worked up to 305 normal snatch grip(pointer finger on the rings) and 315 with my middle finger on the rings which felt fairly easy
regular deadlifts: It's like I forgot how to do a normal conventional deadlift, just felt super weird so just did 365 and said fuck it.

Cleans:135 OTEM for 6 minutes, this is when i started to just feel weak and tired and my form broke down and just couldn't get my hips involved

ladder: I used 75 instead of 95 and i gotta start front squatting more cuz my front rack position is a joke and makes thrusters harder

probably a 10 minute walk or so, down 4-5lbs from last thursday which isnt saying much since i blew up quick, oh well just gotta keep at it.

i'm not saying he's not a fantastic athlete, just that ashton eaton would have won the 2012 NCAA outdoor track and field team championships BY HIMSELF had he competed in them.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on September 30, 2015, 05:44:11 pm
Yeah I meant to look up videos of him, I googled it and he looks like a jacked mofo.

If crossfit wants to say that then idk oh well lol  I knew it was stupid for them to say that hes the fittest in history especially when well take running for example, the longest distance they have had to run is maybe 5 miles.  It would be interesting to see separate specific days for the games, make it a week long or something like 1 day is powerlifts and olympic lifts, then a track day with a sprint and long distance run and so on and so forth, they kind of do it but not really. 

I'm just a fat white boy from the sticks so oh well, crossfits got a big enough following that they could say glassman is the fittest in the world and they'd come up with an excuse to back it up.

I dont think im going tonight, I just feel whooped and sore, possibly getting sick again idk...I hope not cuz tomorrow is my light skwaat day.

Sorry for the continued thread hijack, but indeed decathlon is out of this world, those athletes are rightfully called 'the best athletes in the world'.

Here is the performance of the 25th in the 2012 olympics, pay attention, not the first, the 25th, one of the 'worse', an 'unknown loser':

100m 10.95 s , long jump 7.12 m , shot put 15.17 m , high jump 1.96 m , 400m 50.13 s ,100m hurdles 14.87 s, discus 46.43 m , pole vault 4.20 m , javelin 50.16 m , 1500m 5:03.14 min

Get the point? :P

PS : That doesn't take much away from Froning's beastliness, guy is a monster. But yes, Olympic athletes and specifically decathlon ones are something different.

It's all good vag haha and I agree with you and LBSS, Castro and Glassman like to talk out of their ass to try and promote crossfit.

Last night I was super hot all over when I was trying to sleep but also cold if that makes sense, wasn't feeling the best and today is blah another kind of shitty one so I am going to play it safe today cuz i gotta go to work at cornell tomorrow which is a hour and a half away from me so I gotta make sure I am 100%.

Just going to hit up some paused skwaats with hammys, hit some arms and back and idk I will feel like a POS if I dont do a metcon so maybe I will just walk or something to help my body recover.

Maybe I'm drunk(not really, havent had a sip of alcohol in a year and starting 2 months) but when it starts getting cold out and you do strenuous activity like crossfit, doesnt your immune system go to shit if you over work it a bit?

Yeah I've watched some of the matches for GRID, looks decent and no drug testing(just look at one of the black chicks) I wouldnt mind trying to get my numbers to their level n just trying the combine out in the distant future lol

Ima switch things around today, i slept like 10 hours lol so ill just do my morning n mid day workout together, gonna bring some power bars with me.

Anyway

Skwaats this morning singles up to 375
Then did the 30/30/30
skill work was just getting a push press grip and close stance for OH skwaats with 95lbs(super light)

Then I tried the workout that I am calling Everest which I didnt finish lmao my body felt good except for my hip and left lower back which forced me to end it way earlier than I thought

I am going to revise Everest so that the reps start low and increase as the workout goes on but ill try to remember what i did

75 snatch
75 clean
75 OH skwaats
100 wallballs
100 air skwaats right there is only 400 something reps so yeah i didnt even make it half way.

Post by: John Stamos on October 06, 2015, 05:32:20 pm
Shitty night of sleep so i slept longer than I wanted to, forgot my oly shoes and phone n pretty much everything so I just did a basic shoulder n tricep day.

Nothing to report, much worn out and weaker on OH press than 2 weeks ago but I did a lot yesterday so thats to be expected.

Tomorrow is pull so prob a normal pull day

Also, if you're a fan of tremors, I'd recommend Tremors 5.  It has its wtf moments but thats what makes it so great, much better acting than 3 and 4 and better CGI, also at times seems darker than a typical tremors movie.  I should review shit professionally

GOing to watch CT Fletchers movie and I will give a review about it afterwards
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 06, 2015, 07:32:00 pm
CT Fletchers Movie Review:  It was some powerful shit.  It goes through his childhood about his relationship with his mom and dad and its taken place around the time he was trying to open up his first gym.  Anybody who has lifted a weight or gone through an abusive childhood can find something to relate to this movie and I don't want to give too much away in case anybody reads this and wants to see it.  As far as fitness related documentaries goes, it's easily one of the best since its real and I like it as much as Fronings but for different reasons.  Fronings dives into his life and relationship for a small portion of it and thats the main focus it seems like in CT's, especially with the awkward visit to his fathers house.  I can definitely see why everyone at the Olympia premier brought tissues with them.

Just signed up for a ride along next week so I can experience police work before i get too involved with the hiring process.  Even though an injury took me out of Corrections, the more I saw current CO's looking fat n gross and just sitting there twirling their thumbs all day the less I wanted to finish.  I have a feeling that if I get into police work, mentally I will keep telling myself I have to be in the best shape that I possibly can.

One of my buddies that got me into lifting years back, he might be in his late 30s, recently had like i guess it wasnt a mini stroke or heart attack but pretty close due to stress n he just had a kid so he wasnt working out anymore.  He started going early in the morning so I figured id jump in there with him just so he keeps at it.  So we hit up some shoulders this morning, just normal bb stuff, db oh press, side raise, bent over raise and seated machine press, nothing fancy.

I gotta get my haircut at 11 this morning so after my haircut ima head back to the gym to get my normal workout in and then hit up the new star wars beta.

Thanks, yeah being on the road sounds a lot better than sitting in a hot prison all day waiting for it to be taken over.  I guess a lot of Sheriffs are retiring so it's now or never.  Also, if I can work it into my schedule, at least go at it slow, I still want to go to school for physical therapy assistant so I can do a Mike Barwis thing, open a gym and work with people who need it.

This afternoon after my haircut

Paused light skwaats: warmed up to 185x3
                          then: 225x3xmultiple sets with a pause of about 5 seconds or more.

OH skwaats: Just working on getting a closer grip and managed to get to my clean grip at 155 for a single(shoulder cramped up)

Power Cleans from boards to simulate the height of bumpers: OTMEM
135x3 for a few minutes
145x3 for a few
155x3 for a few
165x3 for a few
175x2 for 1 min
185x2 for 1 min
195x1 for 1 min
205x1 for 1 min
215x1 for 1 min(2015 PR)
225x1 for 1 min(2015 PR)

my back was on fire throughout so I am really happy with the PRs, cleans from the floor feels a lot better than hang cleans, next time I snatch I will do it from the floor.


Also, watched some videos of Frank Medrano, hes one of those bw gods on a bar doing crazy shit.  I've always wanted to be able to do that type of stuff so if i ever get down then i would at least like to work up to being able to do the flag and some creative pull ups.

Post by: John Stamos on October 09, 2015, 07:51:17 am
I thought about what to do when i got to the gym this morning, work on things that dont ache and that was harder than I thought lol

Bear complex(front thruster to btn thruster) did those for sets of 5 or so from bar, 75lbs, 95lbs, 120lbs and 135.
THen just BTN thrusters for singles from 155-215lbs

1 legged hammy curls up to 80 something lbs I think

then some tricep work

gotta do a few things this morning then once i put my groceries away gonna go back at 11 or so to do some metcons, mostly bw stuff
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 12, 2015, 12:24:17 pm
This mornin

Half mile walk
Full Skwaats: triples
bar,95,135,165,185,215,225,255,275,305
Skwaats:325x10(2015 High bar PR)

Jump rope for 10 minutes

TImed 4x WODs
Cindy or catherine or something idk I never remember girls names:150 wallballs
Light grace: Cleansx95lbsx30
Light Randy: 65lbsx75
Jackie:half KM row and 30 fatmans(skipped thrusters, will explain why)

I fucked up lol

On the 150 wallballs I was trying to pace a lot slower than normal(fastest pace lately was 8 min 40 seconds) and I managed to do it in about 7:53 or so.
Grace felt super heavy, usually I can do a light one without a problem but had to do 10,10,5,5
             -Heart beat was crazy after the second set of 10
Randy was just blah lol sets of 10 all the way through with a set of 5,5 at the end
Jackie: for some reason whenever I row now my tendons n everything around it cramp up bad so I only did half km and thrusters was out of the question.

total time was something like 27 minutes which is terrible lol

total it shouldve taken 21 minutes...i mean i guess 27 isnt too bad then for doing them all back to back


got home and took some epsom salt and just waiting for the storm to hit.

Also, the song that got me jacked up for it was Hall of Fame by idk script or something

AAND what inspired me to do that metcon was dan baileys video of his team doing the 150 wallballs, grace, randy and diane  but only 1 person did each soo i said fuck it, gonna try it out haha.

I've heard of people drinking epsom salts, but, never knew anyone who actually did it. How does it clean you out? You just take massive dumps? I used to do that when I ate my 10+ bananas per day.

It's from the team series but you'd probably like the 4 on 1 video more where Dan Bailey does 4 WODS back to back against 4 people from CFHQ which also inspired me the first time I did CF and almost died lol

I've decided to kick my training up a notch because when I get back into shape I want to get back to one of my old goals.  I said when i was younger and looked a lot better than I do now(I think i actually had abs at 230 back then) I wanted to bang a girl from each nationalities. 
I've covered most of the asian countries minus japan, had one girl who was part chinese n vietnamese n some other stuff, I knocked out brazil last december, umm obv black n white chicks.  What I want to work on is Indian girls and lebanese, a romanian chick would be nice too and a russian chick would be good and dont judge me for this but like a super emo chick but good looking, and i've already banged an old friends mom so I'm gettin there.

Eye round steak: about 12 oz at around 572 calories

I've covered most of the asian countries minus japan, had one girl who was part chinese n vietnamese n some other stuff, I knocked out brazil last december, umm obv black n white chicks.  What I want to work on is Indian girls and lebanese, a romanian chick would be nice too and a russian chick would be good and dont judge me for this but like a super emo chick but good looking, and i've already banged an old friends mom so I'm gettin there.

lol Well the indian and lebanese or a girl similar shouldn't be too hard, Cornell is full of asian, indian and middle eastern type of gals.

Also, adarq, what do you think about my 1 week of normal meats n veggies n hopefully good carbs and rotate with a week of a vegetarian type of diet.

chickpeas, quinoa, egg whites, protein shake, veggies, fruits, an iron supplement

probably keep it high in protein and high in fats, low on carbs.

I'm thinking I will have to work up to doing a whole week though so I might test it out on my light days and mix it up on my off days at work.

 just read though and it might be hard to keep it low on carbs since theres like 30gs per serving in the quinoa

It's not a animal torture thing, just think it could be a bit healthier in the long run

Woke up at 3am which fucked me up this morning cuz when i woke back up at 5 I felt shitty so i put in another hour of sleep so im just sitting here trying to get my shit together to head to the gym

Nothing major today probably since I have already hit shoulders twice soooo

GOnna hit some
biking or walking either or
Back work
cleans OTMEM
biceps
abs

for the metcon im not too sure ill figure something out, nothing too extreme
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 16, 2015, 10:27:04 am
Hit some bis n tris
cleans OTEM from 135-185, triples up to 185 then singles, i think it was for like 8 minutes or something, my left wrist felt like shit n kept getting a sharp pain on the catch
ab work

Food that I just picked up...i did pretty well lol

Shaved Beef-2lbs
low fat mozzarella cheese
steak sauce(gotta do it)
red kidney beans-2lbs
breakfast drink packet things
dinosaur egg strawberry oatmeal lol  the other boxes looked like they were crushed or opened
granola bars
all natural i think organic fancy peanut butter
green beans-the big ass can of it
Sparkling ice drank
Apples-3lbs
I think thats about it.  I was going to buy the quinoa shit but thats pretty much pure carb source(50grams per serving) and the serving size wasnt that much and im still getting 20 grams per serving from the kidney beans. 

Also, gonna try to stay away from rice n breads cuz awhile back i was eating a lot of rice n what not and i think it stretched my stomach out a bit since right now I can eat like a mofo so hopefully the overall volume will go down and try to do multiple meals, so

8am: breakfast shake+ oatmeal
1100am: protein shake
1 or 2pm: Beef, kidney and green beans, bar
4pm: protein shake+ Apple+ Peanut butter
7pm: Beef, kidney and green beans, bar
9 or 10pm protein shake.

TOtal protein: 220 grams from the protein shakes and beef roughly with the protein in milk n breakfast shake n peanut butter(ill be more exact when i make the meals)

Carbs:I will do 1 serving of kidney beans at each meal which will put it at 100-120 grams of carbs including the apple n what not

and fats will be included with milk n cheese and PB

Cost: everything was about 40-45 dollars
shaved beef 2lbs was 10$
Kidney beans 2lbs:3$
Green beans 4$ (big "amish" bulk can)
Bars 4$(25 pack)
Apples: 4$
PB: 5$
BFast shake: 4$
Cheese:4$
Oatmeal:2.50$

The majority of these will last a few days to a week so not too shabby, will just have to keep up with the protein sources

551.5 calories

1 pack of Oatmeal
cup of milk
breakfast shake mix
id say 12 grams worth of protein

SO thats about what I wanted, keep the main meals around 500 calories cuz the protein shake ones wont be that high so I will keep in the 2k calorie range and I will try to keep the apple for 1 meal considering its 20 grams of carbs

Woke up this morning for the gym with stuffed up nose and a bad headache, 5 hours of sleep definitely wasn't enough so now I'm just trying to wake up a bit and get ready to go.

walk
skwaat:OTMEM
prob gonna start saving lower back and hammys for fridays
skill work:idk ill see how I feel
Metcon
Macho Man
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 19, 2015, 11:30:40 am
Walked for a bit

Skwaats
warm up: bar,95,135,165,185,205,225,250,275,300, 315
reps were low, singles to triples

Skwaats: 350lbs OTMEM from 0-16:00
At first i started with a single, then 3 sets of doubles then singles or something, all ik is within that time I did 20 reps

ab work

walk

jump rope for a bit

didnt metcon, hips were rough


So I am watching American Muscle and they had a guy on there who dove into the ocean and ended up breaking his neck and being paralyzed from the neck down.  On it he was able to move his foot for the first time, flex his hammys and move his upperbody so my Plan B was always to go back to school in idk june or something if nothing happens with the cop stuff for physical therapy and maybe try to intern at Barwis' gym.  Seeing that kind of stuff is always motivational, someone who couldnt move any part of their body to being able to sit up n what not is more motivational than someone who cleans 400lbs.

Pretty nice being a beta tester and getting put on the list to beta test more products as they come out.  So far I haven't had to pay for a pre-workout, test booster and I just emailed the chick, super hot chick, about beta testing a intra-workout which i've been looking into buying anyway so win-win

Also, finally started watching broscience vids on youtube, it's hilarious, i'd recommend watching them

ok so workout tomorrow

Light OH day
OTMEM
Front pressx3
BTN pressx3
DB OHx3

shoulder work

Snatch form work

metcon, if i have the time then ill figure something out.
if my buddy shows up then i will hop in with him n prob just do chest
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 20, 2015, 08:08:38 am
0-4:00x 3 reps each
OH BB-100lbs
BTN BB-100lbs
OH DB-40lbs

5:00- 4 reps
6:00- 5 reps
7:00- 6 reps(switched to just doubling up on OH press from the front)-same goes for the rest of the workout
8:00- 3 reps
9:00- 3 reps

DB side raise, just went 4 sets of light for 10
Bent over raise, same

Snatch practice didn't go well, my  front delts were so tight that it was hard to catch the bar far enough back even after stretching

walked n buddy got there early

chest: was nervous about benching cuz I havent seriously benched since shit idk, july maybe
warm up: 135
working sets, 3x10x225
    -This felt easy and I was surprised I was able to get 10 of them, the first set I felt like I could have ripped out about 20...soooo i guess oH pressing is all you need haha

Incline DB press- 3x10x80
Chest flys and press for 3 super sets of 10(machines)

dunzzo

So I've been looking into different careers and pilot sparked my interest..uk mile high club...yaknowwhatimsaying!  anyway, I was looking at the price and yeah I'm going to have to start saving my pennies, a realistic cost is 25k for everything...but for a 100-200k a year job(after 5-7 years of building up flying time) could be worth it.

I am going to have to check into seeing when I can apply for college again just to get certain classes out of the way and I am feeling swole as shit today
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 21, 2015, 10:14:02 am
THis morning, had 0 motivation to do any CF type of shit so just a bro day

SNatch grip deadlifts: I tore a few calluses and they are just raw skin right now so this sucked, went to 275.  I think considering how sore my glutes n everything are from skwaats on monday, my form broke down early on these with my lower back so I wasn't going to be stupid and push it even though 275 felt fairly easy

Lat pulldown-8 sets of a lot of reps

bicep work-lots of curls

and a long walk

It was ight but I definitely feel like I cheated myself this morning so i might go back later or just do some shit at home.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 21, 2015, 07:52:41 pm
Kind of hit a wall with wanting to do any crossfitty type of stuff, mainly cuz on the youtubes ive been watching more powerlifters n what not but watching the games now so that kinda sparked a bit of fire to make me want to go diesel with metcons.  It'd be a hell of a lot easier to stick with if i joined a box but if im lucky, soon enough ill be making my own.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 21, 2015, 09:59:44 pm
Paused full Skwaats-keep at 250lbs
OH skwaats-medium weight
DB snatch-try a squat catch, if not then ill just go heavy
triceps-DBs and BW dips
bent over row-heavy
kb swing-heavy
"clean shrug"...uk just from a hang clean posit. hit the hips n shrug lol-heavy
a lot of ab work, oblique work
possibly do whatever the girls name is, 5 fat mans, 10 push ups, 15 skwaats for 20 min OTMEM

I'm not going to plan the sets n reps just going to pretend like im 13 again and just go in and do them until im sick of each one and move onto the next

Also, with the fittest man in history thing, yeah I see it, I mean with froning it was a reasonable assumption n what not, but if crossfit keeps saying the winner of the games is the fittest on earth...yet froning is the fittest in "history" and is still walking the earth then how can anyone else be?  Roasted CF.  I'ma stick with the training but I've noticed some CFers commenting on videos like they know what they are talking about(sorry bro you started working out 2 years ago but uk everything because crossfit) just annoys the hell out of me..especially saying Ben Smith is the "fittest on earth" gimme a break, they catered to his needs with the events and he still barely won and he would have come in third anyway if Froning and Khalipa competed because their Vo2 max is made out of atomic bombs and t-rexs.

Dad Bod Pump day

Calf raise: ummm just 2 plates for 3 sets of 10..havent done these in idk how many years and they tend to cramp up fast so I kept it light
Hammys: worked up to a single leg of 10 reps at 60 something pounds until my hammys cramped up.
quads: close stance DB front skwaats for 3 sets of 10 with a 40lb db
Tea pots(side bends for obliques) 3 sets of 10 from 40-60lb dbs
ab work:cable crunch for 3 sets
close grip incline push ups for 3 sets of 10
db side raise with 30s for 3x15
bent over db raise same as db side raise

arms n back are already good so i did some tabata

Tabata 2: jump rope and jumping jax
Tabata 3: jump rope and jump rope

Obliques are sore so hopefully they are good for tomorrows workout.

Skwaats...i think maybe OTMEM work
Db front squats
Hammys
Abs
Cleans

Tabata

Walk/yog a mile or two
Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 26, 2015, 12:32:23 pm
Skwaats: warm ups
bar,95,135,165,185,205,225,255, 275,305, 325, 350
             -All were 5s then as it progress i worked to 3s then singles
Working sets: 370lbs for 4 sets of 2
             -I decided to do double until I had form break down on 2 consecutive sets because I don't want to develop bad habits.  On my third and 4th set on my last rep of each I would fall forward and my ass would rise too soon.  Also, I noticed that with the heavier weights, it was almost like a paused rep, once I get in the hole it felt like i just stopped n then shot up, it was nice but felt weird and idk if it bad the lift harder than it shouldve been.

DB Front skwaat
50x10
70x10
90x5
110x5
125x5

hammy curl: single legs

my abs felt worn out enough so no need to do cable crunches

tabata, same as last time but instead of resting between each one, i just strung them all together

then a 15 min walk or so


Overall felt good, if i feel like it I will go back later to do some active recovery and some cleans

Todays workout

Chest press/chest fly machine superset to warm up 4 rounds

Snatch with a squat catch: I worked up to 130 I think but I was catching the weight to far forward due to flexibility issues so I found it better to not push it.  People were directly behind me on the bikes so if I tried to HAM the weight chances are I would have flung it at them.

OH press/db side raise for 4 rounds of 10 reps, 100lbs oh press/20-35 for side raise

Umm shit idk what else i did weight room wise

100 wallballs
tabata:same as yesterday, my cows are mooing today from it.

then a walk

Title: Re: Eric's Journal
Post by: John Stamos on October 28, 2015, 09:23:37 am
This morning was kinda rough, super cold so it took a bit to get me outta bed at 6am but I managed.

Snatch grip deadlift: Worked up to 275 or something for a hold

BB row: worked up to 185 for a set of 10

Lat pulldown: 2 sets of straight bar, 2x single handles and 2x idk what youd call it...weird handle

walk

just a bro day, nothing too exciting.  My calves were just sore as fuck from the last 2 days so I wanted to take a break from the tabata, but tomorrow I will try to get there at 6am and hit some skwaats and OH skwaats and when my buddy gets there, do some arms I think he has to do so in between sets of arms I will do leg work and ab work.

Also, theres a chance I might get 1 of my job sites back since the company is bidding on the county contracts(libraries n what not) so if thats the case then I will buy a new camera and start filming shit.  I have a gopro but it makes me look preggers lol  And it's not glamorous working the libraries, its in Syracuse so it's where homeless people go to jack off on the computers and shit on the floor.

I'm about to comment on one of silent mikes videos on the youtubes thats titled how to increase your vert by just simply replying with adarq.org

I haven't watched it yet but I'm sure itll be the same ol advice, get your skwaat up and work plyos(which really never helped me out for some weird reason) 

Anyway

woke up at 5:15 to get ready, was super pissed last night so i think that because I was so :raging: it wore me out quick at the gym

Tabata work:same old shit that I have been doing all week
Skwaats: I figured I would take a break from the paused skwaats, my hips were getting a lil irritated and figured id just do reps so I stuck with a 5x5 at 185 which is like 45% of my estimated max, give or take a pound.

then a lot of walking


between the skwaats i was breathing fairly heavy but it wasn't difficult so idk I was just worn out I guess from stress n what not

Also, since my gym closes down a lot during winter, I am thinking of buying a 150lb weight vest...I think if I got it then home workouts wouldnt be so gay and well I think doing my muscle ups lmao with 150lbs would be balling.

I was curious how many jump ropes i did so i will do that quick

Jump rope: averaged 1920 reps for the week, probably 2000+ though
Jumping Jax: 320

Next week jesus christ idk ummm

i like the new journal name.

eric, have you ever considered doing like, 30-60 minutes of jump rope straight? By straight I mean continuous or rounds (3min on, 1min off). I used to do that near-daily when boxing, loved it & miss it. I've been thinking about bringing it back myself, as a finisher to one of my morning or evening sessions. Having a good rope makes it even more fun, I have a Buddy Lee speed rope, that thing can fly.

Frequent + long jump rope sessions are definitely good for the physique.

thats whats up, maybe I will start off doing it on monday the 3 on 1 off and skip the tabata for that day.  I have a speed rope, the ones they use at the games, its nice but if you mess up, sometimes the handle will rip a piece of the cable off.

Weight: not good lol  I am retaining a lot of fluids, during my jump rope workout it was like instant sweat and I would've kept sweating but my shirt was so soaked that i cooled down, also took in a big protein shake this morning

Workout

Skwaats: warm up with inbetween sets from 95-320lbs
working sets
350x3
365x3
380x3(idk post injury  :personal-record:)
390x1 for shits and gigs post injury  :personal-record:
      -  390 felt good, about 90% of my max or so which isn't far from what I used to do high bar and narrow stance

DB front skwaatsx125x2x10 
      -  Only did 2 sets because my biceps and forearms cramped up bad holding the fucking thing

Hammy curls: a lot of single legs up to 80 something pounds for sets of 5-10

some lat pulldowns, light just to work my upper back a lil bit more

jump rope, 3 on 1 off to 30 minutes...well 22 minutes.  The silver locking thing that you tighten on the cable flew off twice that you use to keep the handles on there and before that I was just super pissed off. My jump roping wasn't on point today and my legs look like some S&M whipping shit going on so when it flew off the second time I just lost it, yelled cunt and ended it.

Funny thing about the skwaats, the gym manager was laughing when I walked by the desk to leave and she said wait so i did.  She asked me what I was doing up there that scared away the old people, she said that they told her I looked really mad with a red face....I was like yeah I was skwaating, I didnt know there was any old people even around...soo scared away an old couple thats a 2015  :personal-record:   I was super jacked up for the skwaats though more so than I have ever been.


My last working set

thats mine, well i think that was the first one and i bought one like it but a little more expensive but thats the general idea of it but I will buy another one here soon once the one I have fully craps out on me, probably buy the one you have, it looks pretty nice.

This morning

strict OH press: warmed up to 135 and did 4x10
Incline DB press: 55sx4x10
db side raise, 4 sets of 10 from 20-35lbs
did some back work just so it wasnt all push stuff
tricep work
upright row

jump rope: just set the timer to 20 minutes and didnt focus on time at all just went balls deep in it.

Gonna pick up need for speed lol  I'm not much of a video game nerd but racing games and gta 5 I'm down, but I will play them for like a week and get sick of them.

Also going to pick up another study guidr for the test I was supposed to take last week, also gotta find my old police study guide because my test for them is in 11 days.

Today

Skwaats: worked up to about 50% of my estimated max(roughly 405-410) and did reps with focus on form work keeping everything tight
205x4x10

DB RDL: worked up to idk 70s I think for sets of 10

Hammy curls: single legs up to 80s or something for sets of 10

My buddy got there n we hit some shoulders up

Seated DB press: 60-80x10lb increments for sets of 10

DB side raise: 30x3x15

DB front raise
superset
Machine press
     - sets of 25 on the machine and sets of 10-15 with DBs

no jump rope today because I am getting my new one today, I figured it'd be best to not use mine considering that part keeps flying off and if it lands in the pool and some kid gets a hold of it n chokes or something I'd be fuuuuucked.

lol oh well, the new one I bought looks a lot better

Also, IForce Nutrition(my favorite company) got bought by LG or someone and they are coming out with a 1-Andro prohormone that is legal i guess, probably because they didn't add in the touch of Dbol lol  Also they are bringing back like 3 others including dymethazine which was pretty ballin back in the day.

I've always been a curious bear when it comes to supplements so when the beta testers are done with their reviews even though they will just kiss the companies asses, I figured I'd try a bottle out.  What I will do is get my hormone levels tested before and after to see the results.   Just in case when I do take it, I will talk to a contact of mine and see if he'd recommend clomid for this stuff, also run a liver  cleanser and all that good stuff just in case.

Jump rope test:  Its a nice rope, I just only wish the cable was straight instead of scrunching up but I hope it will go away after I use it a lot more.  It looks like that maybe you can put a weight in the handles?  I'm not too sure but it has a plastic screw on the bottom and the handles are hallow I believe so even if you cant put a weight in it then maybe sand or something if you wanted.  Overall I was able to get more reps in at one time than my other rope.  My other rope is a lot thinner and is meant for double unders so this one was slowed down a bit which made it easier to stay consistent with the reps.  Beginning rating of 4/5, if the rope straightens out then I will give it a 5/5 even though is not a big deal, I just feel like I gotta jump a little higher to get it started.

This morning
OH press strict: worked up to 200x2x1 with a push press thrown in the last set
bicep work
jump rope work, just didnt feel like doing too much, just wanted to jump rope lol

Since stopping crossfit and going for bro days, I am down 3lbs.....idk how to explain it lol

Diet for the wknd consists of turkey subs on wheat bread, cheese, lettuce, organic tomatoes, onions and a lil bit of sweet baby rays honey mustard.  Also protein shakes, jack links, hote cocoa ans thats about it.

Oh yeah chicken also, as far as calorie wise im not too sure where ill b at, hopefully not too high

I also had a dream last night, i was working for optimum nutrition at the arnold and i managed to get over to Paige Hathaways booth and I woo'd her.  I put in more effort to get her in a dream then i put forth in real life. Lol. Anyway, if thats not motivation then idk what is.

Sunday:

Had a bfast shake mixed with milk n hot cocoa, a sub and im about to take my pills. 

Also, checking my chubby self out in the mirror i feel like i look leaner n my arms n back look swoldier status.  Last night I checked out some of layne nortons videos that enlightened me a bit about reverse dieting.  The way he explains it makes sence.

That's good then, seemed like it was a bit straighter today.

Twerkout

Skwaats: warm up sets 2-5 reps
bar,95,135,160,185,210,225,255,275,300,315,340

twerking sets
365x5x2
315x5x2

drop sets to 225 and 135

Hammy curls: a lot of single legs

The skwaat workout took so long to do, my hips felt off so it made the squats feel harder than it should've been

Jump rope:45 minutes
I could've gone an hour but I was at the point where I get when I go running where I'm not worn out just sweaty.


Going to try and reverse diet, today just going to keep track of my calories and later I will write up sheets to track my macros, this time I hope i stick with it.

What I will do is do 3500 calories a day which is probably a good starting point
Each week I will decrease by 3-5%
So it will look something like this
wk1: 3500
wk2: 3395
wk3: 3293
wk4: 3194
wk5: 3098

etc etc until I reach a platue then I will increase it back by 2% because I know that metabolism isn't going to increase equally to my calorie intake so if I regained my calories slower than I lost then maybe i will keep the energy gap smaller.

So far today

Protein Shake: 200 calories
Some mexican shit: assumed it was 800 calories to be on the safe side

Chicken: 6 oz
Salad:4-500 calories dressing, yeah I went diesel but i will make sure the rest of my meals are high protein
chips: 140 calories

1826 calories total so far, have 1674 left.

Plan on a protein shake at 4 or so

Chili at 6 looking at regular chili nutrition facts, im guessing 500 calories

protein shake at night

I believe I made my caloric intake for the day, around 3500, it felt good and I didn't feel like I over ate or anything....juuuust right

I also want to compete in a powerlifting meet, I would like to do either the 220 class or 198, so if i can walk around at 205 or 225 so that I can just cut the weight thatd be nice.  I also have specific goals before I do though.

198 class
Skwaat: 550
Bench: 365
Pull: 500

220 class
Skwaat: 600lbs
Bench: 420lbs
Pull: 570

I also would like to do these numbers without much assistance like a belt and knee sleeves.  When i did 530 or whatever it was last time I think I only had knee sleeves on.  Belts are uncomfortable and fuck up my form so if I can get by without it then great.  This will be a long term goal, maybe I will do a few meets before I got serious, just go and hit 90% of my max or so just to practice getting used to the meets.

ALSO!!! I'm going to bring my DBs with me to work so i can pump out some curls and what not so I'm not being a turd

Writing out my plan for tomorrow so I have it stuck in my head

OH press: 115x3x1 min on 1 min off
   - this sucked
Db work with side raise, front raise, bent over
Used 25lbs or so for 4 sets each
DB flyes: 2 sets incline and 2 sets flat for 10 reps
machine work: 4 sets
tricep work

Bent over row: worked from 135, 185 to 205 for sets of 10
Lat pulldown, 4 sets of 10
Seated row: 4 sets of 10

I was wearing the most uncomfortable pair of underwear so jump roping woulda been no bueno.

Post by: John Stamos on November 10, 2015, 09:23:09 pm
I gotta get to Steve Cook status, he hangs out with hot chicas all the time.

Anyway Im going to end tonight with a protein shake and since I did back today, I can focus on deadlifts tomorrow and have a bro day with arms

Tomorrow

Deadlift: snatch grip into conventional
db deadlifts
db swings

Arm pump day

jump rope

prob hittin up chilis, going to eat half my meal and be somewhat healthy with it maybe and just spread it out throughout the day.  so it will be just the chilis meal and I will check out the nutrition facts and adjust to that.

Lookin like Fajitas, everything else is like fucking 1500 calories and the triple dipper I normally get is probably around 3k calories lol no wonder why I have a muffin top ffs.

2 years ago, at my last job, we had a 45 lb. db at the office. We also had a dip/pullup door attachment.. was hilarious, nobody got anything done. We called it "venice beach". It was ~5 programmers out of ~25 just doing curls, dips, overhead press, pullups etc, all day. Literally nothing got done. lmfao.. lasted 3 weeks or so ;f

Thats dope haha, I'm lucky that I get to be by myself at work, I don't get bothered by anyone and I'm in my own little building.  I think most businesses should incorporate some kind of exercise program like some do already.  Especially since I watched the news and they said an increasing number of young kids, teen and pre-teen have signs of heart disease already and typically kids eat the way their parents do.

I think that vid on fb was 335?  Terrible form with my ass rising off the bench like that lmao I'm not sure if I ever got anything higher than that on camera, whenever I asked people would look at me like I was weird.  Back in HS..I think I was 17 or 18 I bought a bench shirt, single ply and I think i was benching about 295-300 raw and i put up 365 with the shirt but I definitely prefer raw.

Todays workout was kind of a throw away

Instead of normal deads I was kinda loopy this morning and decided to just do

RDL: worked up to 235, starting at 135 and just adding 10s to each side for sets of 5
A lot of bicep work

Went to go jump rope and the fucking doors were locked again and the track was full of old folks so I had nowhere to jump rope, might go outside later when it warms up a tiny bit at get after it. 

Diet wise today

Morning: pre workout protein shake- roughly 150 calories
               Post workout coffee: idk some sugar and some creamer: lets say 100 calories
               Post workout Protein Shake: 150 calories
               Post workout oat meal: 320 calories

720 calories

Lunch will be steak and shrimp fajitas
Looks like it will be 6-700 calories with the drinks
36 grams of fat
30 carbs
34 grams of protein

So at this point I can afford to have a few protein shakes n thats it lol fuck chilis in the asshole

Post by: John Stamos on November 12, 2015, 08:51:05 am
Starting weight is lower today than normal even with a protein shake in me
So basically what I've found out so far is that I knew I should've been eating about 3500 calories all this time but didn't want to because it's like the whole "a pound of fat is 3500 calories" statement turns into a scare tactic so I was always hesitant about going that high even though I know I should have.  This time around I was iffy on whether or not I should start that high and well I'm glad I did because starting in the 2000s all the times before this I believe ruined my metabolism.

I also decided that 13 weeks out from a show I decide to do I might try out Layne Nortons powerlifting program, looks promising but theres a lot of rest and high volume for the exercises you do.  Monday is squat bench and deadlift and nothing else so i think the lack of exercises will hurt the volume and I'd rather be at a lower weight before i do that.

So todays workout

Sumo squat: bar, 95,135,160,185,210,225,255,275
sets of 3-5
Narrow stance: 275-135 same weight scheme

Hammy Curls: a lot of single leg curls

Jump rope:half hour, couldnt string them together and my hips were out of wack so i kept hitting my right side.

Ab work

This saturday I have the day off for my popo tests so ill stop by the gym afterwards and sunday ill bring my dbs to work and just leave them there.


OH OH OHOHOH!!!! I got to use brosciences(dom mazettie or whatever) one of his catch phrases

When I was squatting, adding weight is kinda noisy and im noisy when I squat
Old Man: "You should calm down a bit over here"(in an assholeish way, he was trying to read a book on the treadmill)
Me: "I'm an animal and last time I checked, you're not a vet"

BOOM Roasted I was so pumped, i hate old people with a passion.

OH press: went close to failure, small jumps from bar to 215lbs, maybe had a pound or 2 left lol
Incline db press: 50x10, 60x10, 70x10, 90xa lot with reactive sling shot
DB side raises: 4 sets of 10 with little weights
lat pulldowns
trice extentions

right knee felt tight and didn't think bouncing around on it would be a good idea so I just walked for a bit

Going to need some advice on Layne Nortons workout because it seemed like not a lot of volume but it might be more than I think it is.

A sample week is

Monday
Bench
72.5% of max
5 sets of 7 reps

Squat
72.5% of max
5 sets of 7 reps

Deadlift
72.5% of max
6 sets of 5 reps

tuesday: Upper body day
consists of 2 exercises or so for back shoulders arms and chest

wednesday: squat bench and legs
Increases to 77%

thurs: rest

Friday: deadlift, bench, upperbody: increase to 82.5%

saturday: squat, legs: 82.5%

all of them are sometime like 4 sets of 7 or something.

I didn't get to the gym this morning, the test took a lot longer than I thought.  It was only 75 questions but I had to read over police reports and try to summarize them the best way n all that crap took forever.  It went fine though, confident in a 85 or higher I hope.

I want to take a week to try out Layne Nortons program just to see how it is, if I dont like it this week then I will go back to my normal routine next week. 

Diet wise, protein shake this morning with 2 packets of oatmeal and some chicken and chicken wings lol ik ik but ill still make my calories.
Title: Re: Eric's Journal:Dad Bod to God Bod
Post by: John Stamos on November 15, 2015, 07:32:36 am
Diet today

Bfast
protein shake
2 packets of dinosaur egg oatmeal

Probably around 11
Salad(lettuce, provolone cheese, pickles, dressing, turkey)

around 1: protein shake

around 3: salad

around 5: pulled chicken

around 7: salad

After all of this I still have about 500 calories to work with so I will do half calories of chips and half calories of protein shakes

Tomorrow I start with
3395 calories a day and tomorrow I will see if i maintained my weight or gained or lost to see what roughly 3500 does to me(it wont be exact cuz i just estimated some of the days)

Also, Jason Blaha is a fucking idiot who has a series of videos talking about if people are on steroids or not and he keeps using some chart to determine if people are on steroids...Depending on your height and ankle and wrist size or something lol  He also does this to make up for his own shitty physique and lifts.

(http://cdn.builtlean.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/how-much-muscle-can-you-gain-naturally-3.jpg)

According to them the "Max ripped" is at 6%

So as you can see, I should only be able to weigh 171lbs at 6% body fat.....Idt I could get to 171 if I chopped off my leg.....I mean in 9th grade I was fairly lean 175-180 and I hope I've put on a bit of muscle since then lol

So my point for bringing this up is if my diet goes well then I want to prove this wrong

Title: Re: Eric's Journal:Dad Bod to God Bod
Post by: John Stamos on November 16, 2015, 10:55:21 am
Try to slowly drop weight, drop the calories by 3% or so each week until I stall and then increase the calories again by 2-3% each week.  I've been back and forth on so many diets since I started that for the most part when I do i just destroy my metabolism by dropping too low too fast.

It's not exact but if I drop it at a slow rate then my metabolism will obviously  drop as well but it wont plummet like if i just started at 2500 or less.  So once I stall I will increase the calories again hopefully with minimal fat gain so the gap between calories and metabolism is small and then just repeat.  Hoping that I can eat as much as I can while losing weight at a slow pace.

This represents(of course its not like exactly how your body responds but probably close) what I pretty much used to do, drop the calories fast and lose weight fast, then I would stall or get sick of it and eat like before, get fatter, hate myself, diet again without allowing my metabolism to recover and just completely crap out.

fair enough, just seems like a pretty small window, like within the margin of error day to day unless you're tracking what you eat REALLY precisely.

Yeah I hear ya, it probably won't be much of a difference until I get into the 2k calories a day.  Im just tracking my calories right now, and when it gets down to the end of the day if im at like 300 left, ill just drink a protein shake and call it close enough to make up for the margin of error because I didn't measure out my dressing, just tried to estimate a bit higher than I think it is.

Machine chest press:2x6 with drop sets
Lat pulldown: worked up slowly to a weight that is 3x6-8
Machine row: same thing just 2x8
Seated DB OH press: worked up to a weight that was 2x5-7(70s)
DB single arm seated preacher curls: 5x6-8(i think it was 35-40s)
machine curls: I dont really know, this machine sucks ass but it was 2 sets of 5 or 6
DB extensions: 5x6-8
Cable vbar pushdowns: 20 reps, increase the weight n did 10,10,10

cooldown with rope pushdowns

walk for awhile

This was supposed to be a blood flow restriction training day to allow for less weight to be used with somewhat the same results I guess so you're not lifting too heavy too often.  I haven't done my own personal research in BFRT to try it out yet so maybe I will do that today and see what I come up with

Overall it was a pretty diesel workout, had to substitute some exercises because my lower back got worked good yesterday so Tbar rows didn't seem worth it etc etc

Alright wow umm

Only skwaated and benched today, the other leg exercises seemed pointless to do especially when i did both sumo and regular skwaats.

I used 310lbs for my skwaats and this was rough just because warming up my legs were so dead already but I did all 3 sets

I used 245lbs for the bench and it was pretty good, kept good form with a bit of a pause for each rep

I wont be able to sit on the shitter later which is good I guess

Blah, had a surprisingly  good workout, I woke up this morning just feeling like i need a 5hr massage and worn out.

The workout was supposed to be 3x5 at 330 for skwaats buuuut I thought it was 4x5 so thats what I did, oh well an extra 1,650lbs of volume isn't a bad thing I hope.

Skwaats:330x4x5
then did arm work

3 sets of each exercise, about 3 different ones for bis and tris, nothing exciting.

I went into the gym thinking i was just going to work with 225 and call it good but i stuck it out.  Also, it seems like I turned into a sumo squatter overnight, which is weird because last time i did it a few weeks ago, it felt heavy.

Next week I will be doing mon-wednesday, thursday off cuz i gotta work and the gym is closed and friday hopefully

a silent protest would have been impressive ;f

interrogating students who are studying etc, chanting non stop.. it's a library ffs. If it was a KKK library then that would make more sense.

2 exercises for each upperbody muscle group, for bis i tried out the BFRT and it was weird but my bis were all sorts of pumped up

Super hot chica in the gym, I think she might compete in bikini or physique or shes a stripper because normal women that go to the gym don't train like her and she has a physique body....I had to go out to the track to relax a bit....if you cant tell, its more likely that big foot will workout in my gym then a girl like her lol.

it's racist to say that these dumb asses should focus on fixing problems within their own community and violence towards each other?  There's a black guy who commented and said the same exact thing as I did, so I am just a bit confused.  If I came off as racist then sure, I didn't mean too, it's hard to not get pissed off at the stupidity of these people, especially with what happened in Minneapolis.

it's only not racist to say that if you also acknowledge that many, many, many of the problems faced by black people in this country are the direct result of centuries of violent oppression of and theft from them by white people -- oppression and theft that continue to this day -- and that the solution to those problems, if one even exists, lies in the dismantling of the systems of institutionalized racism.

ADARQ..Thoughts on

Akbar jaffar ahbab..idk his real name, the kid who took apart an old clock and put it in a little case is suing the city and school i believe for 15 million dollars.

lmao.. sounds bad if you can't at least spell his name right, you know? That's like someone saying "Barack Hussain Mohammed". 8|

Unrelated slightly, but here's a video of someone making the same 'clock' that Ahmed Mohamed made:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk_6Vh4Qeo

I'm not really annoyed with Ahmed, he doesn't know how much he "doesn't know". He comes off sounding like a "douche" when he talks about inventing something just by taking it apart; but he's 14, so he gets a pass. His family seems like they are using him a bit. If so, that's definitely a real problem. So many people now hate the kid, his family could be making it worse. dno. If the police did violate his rights, I have no problem with them suing. 15mil sounds like a big number but, sometimes those numbers are important to get law enforcement to follow the rules.



Quote
         My thoughts are, some of his teachers came out and said he was a douche bag in school, doing shit just to get attention and to be a prick so obviously my conclusion is he thought because he is a muslim, bringing in a clock that looks like a bomb during the times of all of the school shootings and what not, would cause a national attention.  If they win then I think it's absolute bullshit and they will probably win because PC bro.

I definitely don't think Ahmed thought that far ahead.. He's really young. Seems naive but energetic + passionate. His family may have thought that far ahead, who knows. Or his family may have just played that card once it happened to him. PC or not, these cases reach the masses quicker when it's a "minority" that has been "victimized" due to the possible discrimination/profiling etc. I mean it makes sense..

There are tons of cases that hit the news, of kids being expelled/arrested for bringing water guns/toy guns etc to school. I've seen a ton of em. So it's not like other incidents don't hit the news.

Alot of people are annoyed that Obama invited him to the white house.. Sure, Obama could have been trolled, or ignored it. But, Obama is also probably thinking about the "anti muslim sentiment" in the US. Look at it now.. Politicians talking about monitoring mosques, having muslims "register" etc. It's crazy shit given the principles of this country.. So minorities sometimes deserve a little "extra", given that a majority has so much power. Obama's invitation to Ahmed probably backfired though; Liberals loved it.. Conservatives hated it. Go figure.

Also

An article about someone making a fake FB group whites united NYU or something.
If it was real, do you think it's racist? even though blacks and muslims and what not can form their own groups and be PC bro?

Well it's not racist by definition:

rac·ist
ˈrÄsÉ™st/
noun
1.
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
synonyms:   racial bigot, racialist, xenophobe, chauvinist, supremacist More
adjective
1.
having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.
"we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club"



If white people get together and "embrace their white ness" or discuss issues affecting white people, then it's fine as long as they don't identify their race as superior or plot to oppress people of other races.. It obviously seems weird, but, if other races can do it, then whites should be able to as well.

I wouldn't go to such a meeting because i'm not "proud to be white". I'm white, whatever; genetics. I was lucky to be born a human, and an american. So I personally wouldn't be interested.

Like LBSS said, there is an "institutional racism" in the united states. So minorities banding together to discuss a perceived or real victimization based on race, makes sense.

i'm sure many of them do.. there are probably some great things to come out of black lives matter.. but the news media is going to sensationalize alot of the bad things, such as how some of them protest "disrespectfully" & "irresponsibly".

I also mentioned the black kids that raped and murdered a pastors white pregnant wife, and a black guy who shot a medical student in the stomach who was trying to stop a robbery and then pointed a gun to his head and tried to kill him but his gun jammed.

Every race is committing heinous stupid crimes.

Before this comment gets thumbs down lol  I just want to be clear that I am not racist.  If you're a good person, no matter the race or religion or anything then ballin, we can hit bi's and tri's.

i don't believe you're racist in the "superiority sense", so no you're probably not racist. These "double standards" and "political correctness" elements bother you, which is fine.. but, you still have to put yourself in their shoes. There is and has been a real problem in this country for minorities in this country, especially blacks.

As for whites not being able to be victimized by racism, i've experienced racism several times (from white & black people). I've also experienced it as a third party, ie, white people verbally/physically attacking me/my friends because they were black. I've had white people try to jump me, black people tried to shoot me. Finally, i've experienced "profiling" and harassment/threats from cops. I have some experience in the race victimization department. It's a big cluster fuck. The real problem is embracing these divisions (by race, religion etc) to band people together to victimize people of another race/religion etc.

dno my 2cents.

My response is: Union Yes. You can guess the rest of what I feel about it. Instituting a living wage is humane and makes economic sense. The main (rational) argument against wage hikes is that they'll boost unemployment because business won't hire as many people if they have to pay them more.

This is thoroughly refuted by the majority (though not 100%, it's not like climate change where the consensus in the community that studies the issue really is near-total) of economic studies of the phenomenon, which show that there is little to no effect of wage hikes on employment rate. For a good, recent review of the evidence and an attempt to explain why wage hikes show no such effects in real life, check this out: http://cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02.pdf.

There are also irrational or evidence-free arguments against wage hikes, which amount to the equivalent of telling homeless people to get a job. Hard to know where to start with those.

The irrational argument in favor is that we are forcing people to live in poverty even though we have the means to do otherwise, and that is immoral.

Agree 100%.  But at least it appears as racism via ignorance which seems both forgivable and curable...   Then again when I read:

"it's racist to say that these dumb asses should focus on fixing problems within their own community and violence towards each other?"

instead of:

"I think that the largest problems in the black community are not the result of centuries of violent oppression and existing institutionalized racism but rather problems inter-community that can be fixed if black people attempting to dismantle systems of institutionalized racism focus within the community..."


It comes across as a teeeeeny bit overtly racist rather than ignorant and respectful... 

As far as the favorite question by people trying to prove a double standard that doesn't exist: "Why can't we make a white-pride club"?

Well, first of all people already have.  And they are overtly racist.  So you might want a new name...  This has been figured out and there already exist a hundred super PACs with names like "take america back" which look out for white people.   Second, what would you talk about at the "white club" meetings?  You do realize that black clubs in college don't just exist to talk about how great it is to be black and not have to slather yourself in sunscreen every time you go to the beach right?  The exist to combat problems in the black community (which you seem to be a big proponent of) AND fight institutional racism for individuals who would be powerless fighting it on their own...  Will the white club devote itself to fighting racism as well?   Cause that would be strange because white people can just join BSU if they want to do that (when I was in undergrad there were multiple white people in BSU, shoot the valedictorian at Morehouse a few years ago was white!)!

And as far as Muslim clubs... Again you realize it's a religion and you are welcome to convert to it whenever you want.  And that predominantly white religions and cultural groups have tons of totally accepted clubs as well ( italian club, irish club, lutheran club, etc).   Come to think of it I welcome you to convert to whatever you want...  if you think it's not fair that there isn't a club for white people then "convert" to black and join up... since scandal and HTGAWM  got popular the swirl is in and you would be surprised at the love you will get... (half joking).

Seriously, racism sucks.  But it's not unique to whites.  It's a large percentage of older people.  I am mixed so for Thanksgiving every year I have a choice to spend it with some combination of racist white friends and family, racist catholic friends and family, racist black friends and family, or racist muslim friends and family....  And my moms new boyfriend is Japanese so if he his extended family is still alive I might be able to get another flavor of racism...

For a good, recent review of the evidence and an attempt to explain why wage hikes show no such effects in real life, check this out: http://cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02.pdf.


I think the reason there is never going to be total consensus is because it depends on the level of wage hike.  Minimum wage is so low now that a moderate increase won't affect true employment rate ( it may increase unemployment temporarily as the pool gets bigger because better wages encourage more unskilled people on assistance and disability to work instead of collect a paltry paycheck )...

The other great benefit to paying a living wage is the savings we have in the mish-mash of bureaucratic programs to help the poor.  In LA you can literally buy food-stamps for 50 cents on the dollar in the hood...  To get them the amount of paperwork you fill out is so daunting that people are hired to teach people how to do it.   Additionally, for new buildings there are all kind of programs and rules about setting aside "low-income" and "very-low income" units in new apartment buildings so the working poor can afford them.  Again qualifying for the units is a massive paperwork burden AND if you do qualify you essentially enter a lottery to see if you will get an apartment that 100 other people also qualify for and dearly need...  And then there is the chance nobody will get it because the corrupt developer will find his way to give the apartment to his "poor" aunt who lives 3 hours away in a cheap suburb...  Of course she will never live in it and instead make a killing on Air BnB...

People try to come up with ways to battle this problem all the time...  But the seem about as logical is solving centuries of racism by telling black people to focus on violence in your own community...   I don't see how society tolerate ideas like food-stamps and afforadable housing for the working poor... I understand charity for the homeless or programs for mental health patients BUT how did we get to the point where we can accept it as totally normal that someone who lives in our city and who works a full-time job in our community won't be able to afford shelter or food and so should rely on a social safety net to supplement their low paying job!   It really seems inhumane.  If you work you should make enough money to buy food and live in market rate housing.   That is pretty simple.  The social safety net should be for people unable to work (children, mental health, disabled, etc).   That would make it a lot smaller net AND would really help things in the black community :).

As far as homeless people, the video of the meter maid hitting the homeless guy in the head and yelling at him to get a job really pissed me off...fuck nyc, I hope they split it from the state.  Once my gambling problem with playing the lottery really kicked in, I always told myself I would start some kind of business with living situations and try to help out the homeless. 

Again, you make decisions about policy based on videos of individuals?  I am sure there is a video out their of a homeless person beating someone up and stealing their money to go buy crack...  But, my thoughts on homelessness don't come from videos, they come from data.  I'm glad this video made your more compassionate but I implore you to explore issues for which you hold strong opinions a little deeper and from a less emotional perspective...

The issue of the minimum wage always creates a predictable argument along the lines of ‘you cannot have a minimum wage rise because it will cause unemployment among the low-skill ranks of the workforce’. However, if you took that logic there would never be a minimum wage rise!!!

Mass unemployment arises from a lack of aggregate demand. Firms will not hire people if they cannot sell the goods and services that the workers produce because they don’t want to accumulate inventories. No matter how cheap wages are firms will not employ people as there is nothing for them to do. The only way that real wage cuts would increase employment would be if they boosted private spending and reduced the desire to save. However, people already living on the minimum wage don’t have the desire or capacity to save much anyway so they tend to spend their earnings anyway. Therefore, by cutting the wage all it is doing is reducing aggregate demand in the economy. Hence this method of stimulating employment will always fail at the macroeconomic level. Workers rely on real wages growth to fund consumption growth and without it they borrow or the economy goes into recession.

This is a briefing paper (#406) from the US Economic Policy Institute.
http://www.epi.org/files/2015/understanding-productivity-pay-divergence-final.pdf

The EPI concluded that for the US:

1. “wages did not stagnate for the vast majority because growth in productivity (or income and wealth creation) collapsed. Yes, the policy shifts that led to rising inequality were also associated with a slowdown in productivity growth, but even with this slowdown, productivity still managed to rise substantially in recent decades. But essentially none of this productivity growth flowed into the paychecks of typical American workersâ€

2. “pay failed to track productivity primarily due to two key dynamics representing rising inequality: the rising inequality of compensation (more wage and salary income accumulating at the very top of the pay scale) and the shift in the share of overall national income going to owners of capital and away from the pay of employees.â€

3. “although boosting productivity growth is an important long-run goal, this will not lead to broad-based wage gains unless we pursue policies that reconnect productivity growth and the pay of the vast majority.â€

When the EPI released the report, the accompanying Press Statement said that:
The fact of the matter is, for decades, a typical worker’s pay rose alongside productivity—but since the 1970s, as a hugely disproportionate share of income generated by rising productivity has gone to extraordinarily highly paid managers and owners of capital … The relationship between rising productivity and worker pay has broken down because workers’ bargaining power has been intentionally hamstrung by a series of intentional policy decisions, made on behalf of those with the most income, wealth, and power …Our problem is not a lack of growth. For the past 40 years, productivity has gone up substantially, but these gains have not reached working people … The problem is that wages have been suppressed by a restructuring of rules on behalf of those with wealth and power.

The EPI also noted that “If the hourly pay of typical American workers had kept pace with productivity growth since the 1970s, then there would have been no rise in income inequality during that period
â€. That is a stunning conclusion in itself.
This is not only in America where this is the case it’s pretty much worldwide.

In the 2006 OECD Employment Outlook entitled “Boosting Jobs and Incomesâ€, which is based on a comprehensive econometric analysis of employment outcomes across 20 OECD countries between 1983 and 2003. The OECD found that:
   There is no significant correlation between unemployment and employment protection legislation;
   The level of the minimum wage has no significant direct impact on unemployment; and
   Highly centralised wage bargaining significantly reduces unemployment.


In my opinion the US minimum wage is too low and we can see that with the massive income inequality that exists and all the socio-economic problems that arise from it. Do fast food workers deserve 15 an hour?  Well do CEOs deserve their extravagant salaries when usually it is these very people who lead the cheer squad when it comes to the claims that workers have to take pay cuts and surrender penalty rates and that the minimum wage should be abandoned! Of course they will always justify their own salaries with the line that it’s essential to award these salaries to attract top quality executives, yet we know that a companies performance is not closely linked at times to the pay that the CEO gets, which puts a hole in that argument. The top CEO (from JC Penny Co) earned 53.3 million in the fiscal year to 2012 compared to the average worker in 2012 in his company who earned $29,688. You don’t need to be an economist to work out that raising the pay of the average worker and reducing executive pay would also lead less income inequality and also boost private spending and aggregate demand. Without question the minimum wage could be raised in the US without affecting unemployment so ultimately I support raising it.

Honestly I'm not familiar with what safe zones for kids are.  Provided day care for the children of the students?  I think ideally all zones should be safe.  Although I don't think its a simple issue, while I'm an strong advocate of gun control I do think spending time legislating gun free zones is a bit worthless.

- Yes, I realize that.  I'm just suggesting for you not to be one of those people who looks only at one video or what he sees around him rather than looking at the actual data.  I realize how bad media has become...  The internet is extremely polarizing...   Someone has a bad experience with black people and feels a little negative and starts googling and before you know it he is on some site the aggregates story and video (some true, mostly false) about horrific things black people do and then the person becomes an angry racist.   Happens the other way too, black people are angry about racism and find their way to a site where they are indoctrinated with hate against white people and start to believe that American policy is one big conspiracy to hurt black people....   Even happens to  people who are just slightly skeptical of western medicine...  They find their way to natural new or some horrible site and start believing vaccines cause autism and that cancer can be cured with a few herbs and oils...


2. When I made the focus on your own community comment, the kick starter for all of this was michael brown and the hands up stuff was a lie but they still ran with it.  Maybe there are black groups out there that are trying to clean up the streets but we never see it because it's never on the news.  The BLM calling for killing cops has already resulted in a few innocent cops being executed like the one that was pumping gas and the guy unloaded a whole clip into him and the two NYC cops who were shot in their cars.  To me and what we see, I see them doing more harm than good.  If everyone worshiped Sam Jacksons character Coach Carter, we would all be friends.

- You were there when Mike Brown was killed?  I didn't realize you knew for sure what nobody else seems to know.  I think you need to do a better job finding out about positive black groups.   Perhaps your should join your local NAACP chapter and volunteer?   Have you considered that?   The problem is you go by what you hear and you see but you seem to look at a very biased slanted view of the world.   Serious, go to your local NAACP and say you want to help.   I don't know who Coach Carter is so I can't comment.

3.  I can't say for other places but near where I live, there are plenty of those housing units that are either based on salary or super cheap(2-300) a month.  10 is more reasonable than them wanting to jack it up to 15 tomorrow(ik it would take several years)

Again, because you see plenty of them there must be enough?  Well, your wrong.  There is a massive affordable housing shortage in this country.  A market rate solution is the only thing that will work.  People here have listed know every reason why raising minimum wage would be positive and have only negligible negative impact on employment and maybe a tiny bit of inflation...  And in addition one of it's greatest benefits would be the psychological benefit workers would have knowing that they work and can pay for a market rate apartment and put food on the table rather than they work and have to rely on charity to survive, do you know how damaging that is?   But you still think it's not "reasonable" to allow workers to earn a living wage and more reasonable to put all low-wage workers together in a housing project (which contributes to crime btw).  Why is it not reasonable?  Because in your world poor people should be poor?

4.  I've wanted them to split up NYC and NYS for a long time for a number of reasons(and to get rid of cuomo).  I mentioned the video because it was just something that popped into my head when I saw his comment about the homeless.  It wasn't my reasoning for wanting to help the homeless, just a random comment like whenever in my journal I talked about taking dumps, just a random thought.


Well, I'm no expert in the idea of splitting up NYC and NYS and can't think of why it would make sense...  I don't mind anecdotes every so often,,,  But if you are going to go on this forum and call us dumb asses (which is pretty offensive, but I've heard worse in my time so I can take it) then all I'm asking is you back up some of your arguments with actual data about why policy may be effective rather than a story or a video.   

Since you have supplied a million anecdotes I will share one about myself.  I'm a sprinter and I'm mixed between african and european descent (primarily european I have even sequenced my genome).  I don't look typically black or white so I get a lot of questions like "what are you" all the time but none more than after a sprint race especially when I perform well.   I've been asked this by countless people.   I can tell you the most disappointed, racist, and defeatist talk comes from white people who find out about my background...  Everytime they are like "Oh... Africa... that sucks, I thought you might be our fast white person" or "ohhh, makes sense, that's why your fast".   Black people have never had an issue with my whiteness and generally don't really care to the degree that white people do in regards to sprinting...   I bring this story up everytime someone says "why do they call Obama black - he is half white?".   If they knew what it was like to be mixed around both black and white people they would understand.

Pretty much just did the squats, my legs were sore so I wasn't nearly as strong as I am on mondays or wednesdays.

Next week is the end of Phase 1 so Its like 2 days on, 2 days off then a rep test to determine how much I increase the weight for the next phase

why did you do multiple sets for rep testing rather than a single top set?

why did you do multiple sets for rep testing rather than a single top set?

My bad I should've been clearer, the rep test day is friday, I just called it the rep test week because I guess the days leading up to the rep test is to prepare me for it I think?  I'm starting out with close to the weight that I will be using for it, 7.5% higher weight today than on the other Mondays.

Also, I went to the gym around 9am instead of 6am and I felt much stronger, granted I was 4 reps shorter and 10lbs lighter than on friday, I felt a lot better throughout and wasn't worn out and huffin and puffin.  So when I do the rep test day, I might go at 9am again to do it.

If anyone is interested in it, here is the program

Lol, it's not that bad as long as I get to bed around 9:30 or 10pm and if I can I usually will walk n stretch before or during my sets.  I mainly did it because my buddy who owns the plant that I'm trying to work at again works out that early and my shifts would be super early so it'd be a easy transition.

Maybe it's just broscience, but when we were forced to be up at 6am to for training camp in college was really when all of us went from ok to serious athlete.  I've talked to enough people that have seen a striking difference in their training when they begin at sunrise that I think there could actually be something to it...  It's standard practice for almost every elite athlete, again not scientific evidence - it could just be the discipline and cultural shift but I highly recommend it.  It could be that...

1) Testosterone is highest at sunrise and right after waking...
2) By having your first session at 6am you can get into your day around 8 and then get a full 8-12 hours before a second session starting between 2-6pm.  The second session will end long enough to before bedtime to not interfere with sleep.
3) Humans can function on less sleep when the make it up on the front end rather than the backend (some evidence to support this).  What this means is that if you sleep from 2am-5am and get only 3 hours sleep, it's actually better for the long term sleep debt to make up for it by going to bed early the next night (say 8pm-5am = 9hrs sleep) rather than sleeping in 2am-11am...
4) It could just be the discipline it give you...  maybe knowing you have gym in the morning at 6am is going to make it easier to feel like you don't need to have 1 or 2 or 3 beers with dinner while if your workout is at 10am you might be tempted...

Anyway, just an observation but I real think it's a good idea to attempt early morning workouts if you have the chance...  Get your cup of coffee and get it in...

I don't feel too much different as far as being awake at 6 am and say 9am but I definitely feel stronger at 9am, and even so I hit my biggest lifts late at night.  It's a lot better finishing a workout at 730am though, also its just old people early in the morning and cardio bunnies so I get the weights to myself.

Today was a shit day though, didnt get to bed til 1130, they had a 2hr season finale for street outlaws last night.

Tomorrow is legs with bench i think, the squat is low weight and low reps, i think 4x4 at 70%

Title: Re: Eric's Journal:Dad Bod to God Bod
Post by: John Stamos on December 09, 2015, 06:14:59 am
Gettin ready to go take a dump n head out to the gym.  Starting a bit later than normal because is a light bench squat and deadlift day(3x5@70% and 2x4 for deads)

I'm sure it will be fairly easy and I will get some active recovery work done afterwards, some walking n biking and jump roping if i can get into the pool balcony.

it was easyish, my quads were sore but it didn't slow the weight down at all.

did a long walk afterwards, tomorrow is active recovery.
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2015, 05:55:24 pm
This morning

Long walk
biceps for shits n giggs

Tomorrow

Rep test for bench, squat, deadlift(deadlift ill just do idk something)

Im using 340lbs for my squat and 260 or so for my bench.

I am aiming for 12 for the squat and 8 or so for the bench
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on December 11, 2015, 08:04:42 am
Rep Test day went shitty lol

My quads were sore but more than that they felt super weak today(even 185 felt heavy)  But i had to get work done.

Warm ups up to 345x8 which was enough for me to get to raise my max 1rm by 5% or whatever it is.  If I had done this around 9 or so considering how I felt last time i squatted at 9, I probably wouldve seen 10-12 easily.

Deadlift: Just worked with 315 for doubles, I cant do high rep deadlifts or I get migraines

Bench: Felt strong: 260x8 with about 3-4 left in the tank but i figured 8 was good since I didnt have a spotter
worked with 260 again for sets of 10 with my reactive slingshot and original slingshot.

some tricep work cuz the hot chick was in there this morning

didnt know calling someone a cunt was such a serious thing (though i was born and raised in USA, english is my second language and i actually never heard someone call someone else a cunt so i never really learned much about the word)

what if a girl calls you a dick or a prick?

what if a girl calls you a dick or a prick?

it's sexist to use, as a slur, a rude slang word for part of a woman's body. the same is not true of calling someone a dick because men are not oppressed in the way, or to the extent, that women are. if i call you a dick there is a chance that i am being, uh, a dick. but i'm not using a word that is insulting precisely because it implies that you're part of a group of people that our society does not value as highly as the other part of it. using a word like that as an insult (pussy, nigger, faggot, retard, you know the roll call) reinforces the oppression of the group that's separated by that word. in the case of cunt, the group you're helping oppress is women.

here's another explanation, from the bowels of the internet:

Quote
All these words are gendered insults, but they have different meanings and intentions. Whereas “cunt†demeans the person because of its association with women, “asshole†and “dick†are normal insults because being a man is normal. ... Gendered insults perpetuate sexism because a male-based insult is the same as a “normal,†non-gendered insult, and a female-based insult is used to make the receiver of the insult a lower-class citizen.

that sucks, dude. tbh sounds like your aunt is mentally ill in some way. having a mentally ill family member can be a huge burden, especially when they do shit to hurt other people. my brother seems finally to be stabilizing (knock wood) after 11 years of being completely out of control and, once he got fully grown, scary to be around. but i can't tell you how fucking angry i was at him sometimes for how badly he treated my parents and for all the shit he put them through -- stole from them, threatened to kill my dad, overdosed in their house, got arrested multiple times, got kicked out of god knows how many programs and facilities that they busted their asses to get him into, and on and on. and my grandmother (mom's mom) has transitioned to hilarious-old-lady mode, but she was abusive to my mom and her siblings when they were growing up and my aunt is convinced she tried to kill my other brother when we were little by swinging him out into traffic while we were waiting to cross the street.

i don't have any advice really, just saying i understand why you'd be pissed off and i hope y'all figure out a way to deal with your aunt.

Thanks, I just needed to vent and im just glad that I didn't dump the squat, I havent done that since HS haha

Had the interview today and it went well, I was only there for about 5-10 minutes, basically just took my drivers and guard license to photocopy them and I filled out a form to let them do a background check.  The other apps I saw on the table, people had criminal records so I think i have a shot haha.  AND she just clogged the fucking toilet ugh wtf

I might idk finish off this week and next week do a bro week to cut back on the volume, my quads n shit was feeling strainedish
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on December 16, 2015, 05:46:41 pm
Thinking about it, just going to do bro days tomorrow and friday and next week take a bro week.  I need to get into stretching more also and do some more cardio.

My week will look like

Monday-National chest day/triceps also
Tuesday-National Back day/biceps
Wednesday: Boulderz and trapz
Thursday: legs
Friday: full body boner aka body pump.

So if i get the job which i honestly think I will, i think its going to be a 3 on 4 off 4 on 3 off type of deal during the week and working weekends with 12 hour shifts so I might have to get used to working out at 8am after my shifts which is going to absolutely suck but at least I dont have to worry about it for a month.

Today

Paused bench: worked up to 215
Sling shot bench
225x15
275x10
300x8
315x8

Back work

Bent over row: 135x10, 155x10, 185x10, 205x10
Seated row: 200x3x10
Lat pulldowns: 3x10


Pain: left elbow but sling shot and elbow sleeves helped.

Tomorrow ill hit shoulders and abz

I'm rethinking my training and ik I'm a program jumper but Idk if I really need this much volume at this point.  I got to 520-550 or so only squatting 1 day a week so maybe I will go back to once a week and then jump back into the volume and frequency slowly.

Also, had a dream last night that I won the lottery and I opened like a big park to breed tigers and shit and I raised one from a cub and it was my bff...i think its because of that slow motion save the animals commercials that were on last night with the sad songs playing.

Weight wise i jumped up a lot somehow last weekbut this week I managed to drop about 5 pounds.  lately I switched from eating for taste to just eating when I am hungry and for my workouts.  last time I was like this, I was super into bodybuilding and all of the animal videos with Frank McGrath and Eric Fankhouser and managed to be 225-235 and fairly lean with decent abs. 

The way i am going to approach my workouts as go balls deep on barbell movements, db movements ill focus on tempo and machine work will be high volume.  Ill start back slow into running, might do pre workout, walk 1 jog 1 for a mile or two.

When i start the new job im gonna drop about 500$ on brotein powder and BCAAs.

So far ive been pretty much 100% Rawr with my lifts but to be on the safe side, ima use my elitefts knee sleeves which also gives a lot of support.

Bench: 225x1x12 paused, 225x1x10 paused, 225x1x10 normal
        -For some reason I was hitting lower, like my upper "abs" lol with my arch which made the lift easier but my front delts are burnin

Incline DB press: 80x1x15- Started with palms forward at the bottom and rotate so palms are facing each other at the top. Shit I forgot the other sets lol  1x10 with a slow tempo, 3-1-2 and 1x10 normal

Machine work superset: 3 sets of balls out on chest flyes and machine press; Cant wait to go back to my old gym so I can get a diesel ass BB workout with hammer machines and the power bench...(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTTXWMAgitYhePMffmzpPvuoHouBHT1QBN78MfkknAOcC8oDvjIgw) the power bench I miss thee

I walked a bit before my workout but my salads from yesterday kicked in and had to haul ass to the bathroom.  After the workout I walked a lot again but Mcfly and Doc Brown were on the track walking so fast I'm surprised they didnt reach 88mph and go back in time.  That was just strange being passed by someone walking cuz they are right next to you for awhile its like the longest drag race in the world lol  So after awhile i just went onto the dreadmill and walked a half mile.  Tried tricep work but my elbow is feeling shitty still

Erics Movie Review   No spoilers

Star wars:something something something

I don't remember the last part to the title of the movie, but I am not a star wars fan and went into it just to see a good movie.  Being a non star wars fan I can see why people would either love or hate this movie but I thought it was just good.  The new characters are good except I wasnt a fan of the new bad guy, and Harrison Ford and Chewy made this movie good, if it wasn't for them it would have just been good for me.  The special fx is good, the storm troopers in it have personality and have funny moments, it reminded me of the storm troopers in the Family Guy star wars specials.  I recommend it, if you can try to see it later on so there wont be as many people in the theaters that'd be your best bet, too many kids and people eating food, it was irritating.

Today was shoulders, nothing special just OH press supa set with 10lb plate side raises for high weight, db work for side raises from 20-50lbs for sets of 5-10, face pulls which got me into an argument with an old fuck, cant wait to change gyms where people mind their own fucking business.

Today just going to relax, go low-no carb and just take in my bfast hot pockets and the rest of the day is protein shakes to save room for tonight, going to do the family xmas party and I dont want to hit 3k calories before tonight haha

my appetite has been weird since Wednesday, that night I only had one plate and felt full at the xmas dinner.  From then on i havent had that much just like a constant feeling of being full and id have to force myself a few times.  I wouldve gone to the gym but last night i had to stay late n on my way home i got trapped in a railroad xing even though there wasnt a train anywhere.

My workouts should be good this wk because ill be going at 9 or so for a few days so i can get into my old BB mind set, im glad you asked...my typical bb attitude is just go hard on the first exercise n dont count reps or sets until you are worn out n all of the assistance work is the same, go hard and do what you have energy for.  Might just be broscience but ive gotten 18-19" arms while being fairly lean at 230lbs on broscience methods.

There was a kid and a girl he was trying to impress that kept getting in my way such as doing db curls right in front of the rack where i needed to get weight but they didnt back away from it so someone can get in, etc etc.   Also, for db OH presses, he had her twist n jerk her upper body and press the weight far back idk, it was a recipe for a future wheel chair buyer.

Anyway

Bench: worked up to my working sets which was 275 for doubles for multiple sets(Paused reps)
Bslingshot bench: 300x3x5
Rslingshot bench: 315x1, 340x1, 350x1
Drop set of 225,185 and 135

Rack pulls: worked up to 405 for a single, felt easy

Incline DB press: 85x12, 100x10, 110x8, 125x5

Lat pulldown: multiple sets of a lot of reps

Machine flyes: light weight, a lot of reps to feel da burn

went for a walk but my underwear was uncomfortable as hell and I didnt want someone on the track think that I was wackin it with how much i had to adjust myself.

Eating some chinese food, yeah yeah lol I didnt eat a lot yesterday, really barely anything still feeling full no matter what, umm later is just going to be salads

TOmorrow is Shoulderz, trapz, and arms

Also, funnyish story, almost shit my pants because I thought I was about to tear my pec or that I already did a little bit on the 125lb DB presses.  The DBs we have are really big and not round haha has a rubber coating with pointy ass sides and I slammed a pointy corner into my pec but i didnt realize it at the time but when I finished I just laid there on the bench thinking, oh lawd I'ma have to go to the hospital.  kk back to street outlawz

Lmao nah, that'd be motivation to train smart though haha

I couldnt think of the name but they are hex dumbbells

(http://www.kodiaksports.com/core/media/media.nl?id=298&c=1268496&h=369cede9a6f10db2926d)

Todays workout, almost didn't go but I man'd up.  We had snow and freezing rain last night so my road at least was shit.

Long walk to start off

DB side raise: sets of 8-15 from 20s-50 by 5lb increments
DB front raise: same as side raise
DB bent over raises: same as before but only went to 35s
OH machine press: drop set from 150, only did 3 because my elbow acted up.

Triceps: vbar and rope pushdown supa set- 5 sets of a lot of reps
Biceps: just curls, nothing special, my triceps were too jacked up and I just couldnt get any kind of pump in my biceps

walked for a bit afterwards

tomorrow is active recovery and cardio and thursday is legs

I might do a push/pull day for now on so i can get 2 active recovery/cardio days in per week.
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on December 30, 2015, 07:58:00 am
Probably wont log the actual work out because it wont be anything special

The ideas I have are

Walk
1 or 2 light exercises to get a pump in my back, chest, arms, work abs a bit, shoulders
bike for awhile

Tomorrow before work will be squats, hammys(might do stiff leg deads and hammy curls) and some cardio stuff
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on December 31, 2015, 08:26:33 am
no legs today, will have to go on saturday.  For some reason i was dragging ass this morning and just got done getting all of my shit together for work today and i have a half hour til I leave for work so no bueno.

I was thinking of just doing

275x4x10-12 for skwaats
heavy enough to keep good form stiff leg deads
hammy curls, a lot of them

I also need bananas or something, ive been cramping up like a mofo lately, bassically once i stopped taking my potassium pills because idk where the hell they went.

Also!  just signed up for the 250k bodybuilding.com 12 wk challenge haha  I'm fairly certain that most of the winners tend to be on tren and winstrol or eat a ton of rice and drink a ton of water before their before pictures.  Chances of me winning are like 0 but oh well, I'll give it a whirl and up my cardio and running.  It starts Jan 11th i think and unfortunately if you win you have to do a photoshoot which idk looks weird to me.  For instance if you have to take a pic where it looks like you're yelling, you typically aren't yelling so you're sitting there with your mouth open and idk its just goofy to me haha

After listening to the Brian Shaw powercast it gave me a good idea.  He talks about a facility just for people n athletes to go for recovery.  They have PTs, massage therapists, chiropractors etc that work together to help the people out.  If I go the PT route i wouldnt mind making BFFs with them and opening a recovery place.  Id extend an invite to Paige Hathaway for a free day so i can woo her lol

Just ordered a college placement test book so I can get a jump on things, gotta focus on getting a brain pump as much as a bicep pump. You have to be a certain math n english level in order to be accepted into the PTA program so I gotta get back into the swing of things, it's been awhile.

Good thing I didnt have to work today because all of the news stations were at my job about the miners being trapped 800ft down. I guess fox news was there so i would've only done a q&a with Kimberly...mamacita

Post by: John Stamos on January 11, 2016, 11:05:42 am
I feel like shit, woke up with a headache but still managed to get shit done

Squats:315x10x3
-Felt super easy until the last set, didn't have any grinders but felt slight form break down

Bench: idk this shit felt weird, I just stuck with 250 for sets of 5

Rack pulls: went up to 440- my pussy paw grip is what screwed me over, I gotta start training grip again

The custodians were cleaning the track so i had to skip the cardio because the cardio bunnies took up the dreadmills

Gonna pound this coffee and relax, I only won 11 dollas on the powerball but oh well, if I win the billion then I'll say fuuck it and retire a few people on here and shit well ill make a wish list for shits and giggs

house/lots of land/massive gym- 50 million worth
Multilevel garage that will rival Jay lenos car collection
Paige Hathaway but from time to time she has to wear a french maid outfit
A pug farm so when I let them all out I can yell out stampede
Donate to Mike barwis's foundation and Shriners Hospital for kids
Pagani Huayra, the new Mclaren(they stopped making P1s) Laferrari, Porsche 918, Buggati Chiron or however its spelled, classic Mini Cooper
whenever the lotto gets up to 500 million I'll put in a million towards tickets lol
buy a million dollars worth of merch at each place: Elitefts, West side barbell, Smelly Bells and broscience life and donate it all to bros around the world
I will be an investor with WSM and give out bigger rewards for the winners
I had a dream that i took the new lambo roadster and drove through NYC with a million in the back and let it all fly out down the road but people started attacking each other so thats a bad idea
Start my own Supplement line with appropriate dosage of ingredients so people don't get screwed over
Use my influence to get them to legalize steroids through doctors(30 and over though) and to use for research

 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

lol I have 2 pugs right now, would be down to have terriers and wiener dogs

Finally, FINALLY a site at work opened up a shift thats not 100 miles away from my house and I snagged that shit up.  Twerkin in Ithaca sat n sun 12 hour shifts and mon-wednesday second shift in a few weeks....YES SECOND SHIFT, I hate overnights and I hate working early in the morning, 3-11(dont get a actual lunch break, just eat whenever) is ideal for me.

I'll probably buy a good camera, one that has a flippy screen so I can easily adjust the camera unlike my gopro without a screen.  Try to get some training footage and I also want to buy a SS bar, kinda miss those things.

Tomorrow is push? I think
Thinking of doing OH BB press or 1 handed barbell press(1 side in the corner)
just a lot of pushing stuff, throw in a few hours worth of low intensity cardio, whatever i can feel like doing without getting super bored.
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on January 12, 2016, 09:50:53 am
1 handed BB OH press warm up: 4 or 5 sets of 10 with like 60lbs on the bar
DB work for shoulders(front and side raise)
flat db press with palms facing each other: 50lbsx4x10
machine work
tricep pushdowns on the lat pulldown

basic bitch workout, nothing exciting

before the workout I walked from 6:30-7:30

-7lbs or so

lately from when I started the Overnights last week, I ate 1 big meal and then little bars n shakes and thats what I did yesterday and plan on doing today which makes me feel pretty good actually.

Well got another job offer, it's one of those seasonal union jobs and you work the seasons until you get on full time. seems like a good gig for the pay.

Applied again for budweiser, if I get denied I'm writing them an email.  They are notorious for not hiring qualified people, just people who have family members that already work there.  I've worked with a few people that work there now and know that they are absolutely useless...also the fact that during my interviews years ago, I was told I was perfect for the job and lost it to a kid who's dad worked in the office. 

Considering NY is going in the shitters and I'm just sick of the fucking snow, we haven't had much this year but going out when its -4 inches or 15 degrees out is just absolutely shitty.  If none of the po po jobs pan out then I already talked to my cousin about heading to NC to do corrections down there.

ERICS MOVIE REVIEW: The Martian

4/5

I enjoyed the movie a lot and I'm not really a big space person.  The first half of the movie is pretty amazing with the detail they go into about how he intends to survive and I found it a lot more interesting than the last half but it all evened out to an overall great movie.  The acting was great, Matt Damons character was incredibly smart and I kept thinking to myself, if I was in his situation I'd be sooooo fucked.

I don't want to give out any spoilers, I'd just say go watch it if you can.

I'm a sore loser and the lottos gotta be rigged.  They keep saying oh you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning twice than winning it and every time theres a record breaking amount or high amount in general, there's always multiple people who win it.  Same thing happened when it reached the record of 500 million last time.

oh well I won 6 bucks between my powerball and megamillion fuck it, ill keep at it

my workout was just kind of shit, nothing worth discussing, ima eat my bon bons and cookies n cream oreos and cry myself to sleep

At the store earlier there was a big gust of wind that shut my car door on my hand and it kinda fucked it up lol  I figured the pain would have been gone by now but noope.  If its still there tomorrow n benching is a problem then I'll figure something out and adjust

So I looked in the mirror and this and went WTF

Picked up a ton of red meats, lettuce, peanuts and a few other things and going to go no-low carb for awhile.  Last time I did it for about 2 weeks and felt good and when  Istarted feeling like shit i jumped back on them.

Light workout today with no cardio because people were running on the track and they locked the pool area

Squat: 1-10 without stopping and switching from Odd #s were feet shoulder width and even #s were sumo with 225lbs.  It was ruuuffff

Bench: worked up to sets of 275 with original slingshot, trying to get work in with wide grip and it taught me that I need to work on my front delts more

Deadlift: Speed rack pulls with 225 switching from conventional and sumo.  When I did sumo I pulled it so fast I could've high pulled it.

Felt good, just cooked a steak so I'ma eat that and listen to some podcasts
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt

Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on January 16, 2016, 07:56:59 am
Lol I saw myself and said wtf, waaay too big.

I listen to the chief and shawn show, I'm a big fan of street outlaws and their podcasts are pretty entertaining.  I hear Joe Rogans is pretty good and I've been meaning to get into that.

There's a podcast out there that is kind of like making a murderer and I think it's called Serial..granted after hearing the things left out of the documentary he seems guilty as fuuuck lol  I guess they just brushed over his past crimes like the animal cruelty and hes like oh we just tossed the cat over a fire and he forgot to mention he poured gasoline over the cat before they tossed it "over" the fire.(which is just a sign of how fucked up in the mind he is)  When he first went to prison I noticed his notes to his woman at the time making death threats to her and laughing about it by putting lol or haha or something.  Apparently he told his cellmate that hes drawing up plans for a room to rape and kill women and the best way to get rid of a body is to burn it.  All of her stuff(purse n phone etc etc) were in a barrel 20ft from his house.  Granted just circumstantial but i mean that just doesn't seem like a murder the police could do in one night and not have anybody know, also considering her limbs were wrapped up in the tires.

Idk, people making a petition to release him based on the documentary is dumbassery

Anyway, I'ma try to get 50 grams or less of carbs.  Most of the carbs will probably come from my protein shakes because I have to have milk or its just weird and I wont be counting the carbs from veggies unless i notice it would make a difference.

For my meats I have different kinds of red meats and for my fats I bought a mixed thing of peanuts n cashews, brazil nuts, etc etc.


Next week i gotta talk to the chick who runs the gym and ask her to unlock the pool room area, I think I can sweet talk her so I can get my bw shit done and jump roping.

As far as my workout is concerned for monday, I am thinking 10x3 at 340-350lbs for skwaats, deadlifts I will work on sumo for doubles, and bench I will work triples for multiple sets

Next week I train at the new site on friday and then normal work schedule for the weekend and start the new shifts on monday, tuesday and wednesday 3-11 so I will still workout at like 8am or so.

The only other thing I gotta do is call BB.com and ask them why they claim the best customer service if they cant respond to my damn email.  They sent me some protein and the seal on it wasn't sealed, didnt even look like any glue or whatever goes on that seals it was on the bottle so granted it's probably fine but I dont know if someone decided to take a piss or put rat poison in it.

If i bitch and moan enough I'm sure I will get a full refund.

Serial is cool. The first season was about a murder case where a HS kid was convicted of killing his gf and sentenced to life in prison, but it's not at all clear that he did it.

Current season is about Bowe Berghdal. I'm not quite sure what the point is (that was kind of the problem in the first season, too, tbh) but it's such a hell of a story. And Sarah Koenig is a good reporter.

Some good news, Erik Fankhouser is getting back into bodybuilding again.  Wrath n Fankhouser were the two animal athletes I followed when i was at my most jackederest and leanerest.

As far as meals

1 serving of special K

2 cube steaks, veggies maybe 2 cups and a serving of peanuts

Protein shake mixed with hot chocolate

Going to make another meal with a steak n veggies

I may need steak sauce, i seasoned the shit outta the steaks but reheated steak isnt the best thing.

Once i start my other job site I worked out the budget n I will pay my lil race car off and then drop about 550$ on 50lbs of protein.

Also looking to get a 57 bel air or ford this summer to drop a 2sp powerglide tranny in it with an engine i saw on jegs(i think about 800hp)  Right now i have about a 300-330hp civic POS that ive used to humiliate people.  The guy in the newer model camaros was the funniest win.

Nothing today, I have a massive migraine even after taking shit for it, also there is a winter advisory for 1ft of snow or more.

Just ate some burgers and a salad and just gonna wait for geico to call.  Smashed a deer saturday night but for some reason it seems like chevy designed impalas to be deer proof because I've seen people who have hit deer and their car is all fucked up and I just have a dent where the fender meets the bumper and a piece inside my headlight broke.

Gonna double up somewhere because friday I have to go to my new site and train from 7-3 and I wont feel like working out afterwards.

Bench: worked up to an easy single of 300 then multiple singles of 315 with the reactive slingshot
Deadlift: felt dead so i just worked with 315 for doubles

walked for a little bit blah

Gonna look for a truck soon, this shit is getting ridiculous with the snow and there's another storm watch for saturday.

I've been trying to not pay attention to too much stuff in the news n articles and what not.(even the one about the bill to confiscate "assault" weapons in georgia that failed)  I happened to notice though in the dem debate about Hillary all of a sudden approves of gay marriage....even though looking it up in 2004 she's basically saying god made adam and eve not adam and steve.  I don't know if she even knows who she is anymore considering shes a politician chameleon just saying whatever she thinks will attract voters.

Bernie has crazy ass hair but he would be waaay better than Hillary and her orange jump suit. 

Also, Bossaball looks amazing

daaamn she did say the "Adam and Steve" slogan once didn't she.. I think I remember her saying that. If so, foul.. I picture a toothless redneck saying that, not an educated woman. :f

edit: I couldn't find it, so she probably didn't say it. I really recall her saying that though. Maybe it was a comedy skit that my brain merged together. dno. weird.

edit #2: so as I was running... it came to me that Sarah Palin might have actually said that.. so the "not an educated woman" comment would definitely apply.



+1 if you find the clip on youtube.. I don't want to search for it, it's going to result in all kinds of weird recommendations on my youtube dashboard. lmfao.

Holy shit, it is 2:20am and since 10:15 I have been waking up every hour on the hour like some satanic shit to puke and shit my brains out.  I'm guessing I have some nasty bug because after i puke I feel fine and i drink some water to prepare for the next round.  Chances are I wont be working out today and tomorrow is up in the air even though I hope its just like a 12 or 24 hour bug thing.

No point in me going to sleep so I might just netflix it up and wait for it.

^That is interesting, never heard of that. Found it though.
This article here explains the situation well : http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/10/22/sometimes-estimating-is-better-than-getting-the-exact-answer/

Long story short, it is about estimating to avoid the exact calculation, so the 'reasonable' answer is the one you get doing the calculation on a larger scale.
The exact calculation is 100-25 = 75
The rough calculation is "around 100"-"around 30" = 70.
The meaning of the whole thing is to learn to do good estimations WITHOUT doing the exact calculation.

I agree with the article editor that the 25-100 pages example is not a good one to demonstrate the theory. Because 100-25 is already a pretty simple math core func.
103-28 is better.

Best demo is the one he uses about the prices total:
Quote
Suppose you’re buying groceries. You have four items in your cart that cost $1.99, $4.93, $6.03, and $5.14.
If all you have is $20 in your wallet, is that enough to pay for the items?
I think that’s a very realistic question.
It would take you at least a little bit of time to add up those numbers individually and get an exact number. Would it answer your question? Absolutely. But you don’t need an exact answer.
The smarter thing to do would be to simply round the numbers. We should be saying to ourselves, “2 + 5 + 6 + 5 equals 18… throw in some tax… and I should still be under $20.â€

I can see that I suppose, it's what I do when I go to the store but I can't imagine that they will be doing this in college.  I'm just not sure why the teacher would subtract points from the kid that found the exact answer lol
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: vag on January 20, 2016, 12:54:30 pm
I can only speculate, and my speculation is that the concept of the specific college course ( or course section ) was that, avoiding the exact calculation, which the student didn't do.

In other news, the budweiser job that I talked about a few posts back well they picked me to go in and interview.  Around here if you get into budweiser you pretty much won the lottery, easy work with high pay soo I'm hoping this time it works out lol

MOVIE REVIEW TIME!!!!: Prescription Thugs

This movie had a bigger impact on me than Bigger Stronger Faster just for the fact that prescription drugs are just a normal every day thing for the majority of the population and kills a shit ton of people and yet someone takes steroids and they get burned at the cross.  There are quite a few stories in there from pro athletes who took prescription pills, Mike bells story and a story about a ex pharma reps niece who went cold turkey off of anti-psychotic drug aaand didn't end well.  It also goes into the business side of it and how Reagan and Saxophone Bill helped out big pharma, especially with advertising to the public.  Now him and Hillary are trying to ban public advertisements for guns but her and her husband approve of helping these companies brainwash people into thinking they have problems.

The Documentary is awesome, you can rent it on Itunes and we should send hillary and bill off into the ocean on a small piece of ice.

Sitting at work bored out of my mind I figured I'd jot down some stuff that I need to do.

Well they have the worlds smallest fridge here so I am thinking that when I am at this job site I am just going to get Jerky for my meals and protein shakes.

I was certified as a PT like 6 years ago and apparently I did it without 90% of the materials I needed to have to pass.  I got a package from fedex yesterday that looked older than god that had 3 books in it, one that looked like a college level living healthy book and 2 other ISSA ones that were for the test lol  I figured while I am here I will get a brain boner aka brain pump and sharpen up on my Jackeded learnin

A kid at the gym this morning who I noticed kept watching my workouts which I thought was weird but he went up and asked me if i compete in powerlifting and asked me for advice.  I was sitting there like fuck yeah finally one of these kids is smart enough to know to go to the biggest mofucker in the gym and ask for advice.  I told him if he sees me there and wants to work in he can anytime.

Alright time to do a patrol

Over the weekend I pretty much just ate the low cal chicken wing dip which tasted like normal chicken wing dip surprisingly and the mini pizzas and I either maintained or lost a little weight.  I've gotta chit chat with the manager so i can get the pool balcony area unlocked so i can do my bw stuff, especially if I buy that weight vest.

I bought slim jims(tiny ones) for work, I was too lazy to drive out to walmart to buy jerky but I will have to just get a pack after work today at the store as long as it's not too outrageously priced.

I really need to start running again but shit whenever I get the chance the track is full so fuck idk i might have to try and go earlier or something.

Bumped ugz with a hispanic girl and I thought I saw jesus lol  I was looking around for someone to just pop out with a camera cuz I felt like I was making a porno.

I found a new girl though....her friend lmao who is just as hot and actually goes to the gym so maybe ill pick one or go for a tricycle.

My next movie review will be Deadpool, I am pumped about it.

I'm just super bored at work trying to keep myself busy.

I will be spending wednesday or so just looking up different recipes and stuff just to figure out what I want to eat so I dont go to chicken n broccoli again and say fuck it in a week or two.  I wouldn't mind having my weekends be low cal but "junk food" days just to keep the cravings at bay but consume like 1500 calories or so because meal prepping the day before, food generally tastes gross like chicken n all that. 

A "healthy" pizza like I made would be nice
Keep it low carb during the week and carb up on the weekends
Running I will just start out again just doing like a half mile walk/half mile run for a week or two then half mine walk, mile run and slowly build up.  I plan on decreasing my rest periods on my working sets for my accessory work and adding in drop sets to all of them.  If there wasnt asbestos in the warehouses that I have to go into I would do more than 1 walking rounds and when I heard that I almost said fuckkk this place. 

idk ill think of more shit as i go into it

Tomorrow is back
I gotta order a new tbar handle, I'm not a fan of the one at my gym

Deadlifts
1 armed bb row
db rows
machine row
lat pulldown
upright row bb/db
lots of biceps
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt

Didn't hit up Back, went to bed late and woke up early with allergies

Tonight I will get a goood ass nights sleep I hope and I will hit up back and arms

Will be doing a weekly supplement review of Red Acid I think it is called by Controlled labs

(https://controlledlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/red-acid-reborn-supp-facts-2.jpg)

2 pills a day but I will do 1 serving per day and 1 serving of BPIs Non stim 24/7 burn

I took 1 pill and its like a fireball shot taste or one of those hot candies and I am fairly tired so if it gives me energy then I will noticed.  I need to wake up cuz we have log in usernames and passwords to sign into work that I've done a million times and I couldn't remember mine until about a minute or 2 before it was too late to sign in lol

Next week I will be ordering tbar handles that slips onto the sleeves of the barbell so i can hit up some rows and tbar deads. 

Attempt to do tomorrow

7am
Run half mile
walk half mile

Back work
arm work

then some form of cardio

Deadlifts
SUPA SET
Bent over DB rows

BB rows
SUPA SET
upright Rows

Lat pulldowns, 8 sets split between 2 different handles

machine row

then arm SUPA SETS

Rest period will be by breaths and I am thinking 10 breaths is long enough(after the supa set is done, no breaks between exercises)

Feeling a bit of energy creepin up on me and my diet tonight consists of slim jim steak jerky bites

Grand total of

Calories: 270
Fat: 12grams
Carbs: 12 grams
Brotein: 27 grams

and i think a special K bar

Applebees review

I had honey bbq for my chicken wings: 3/5
  They were good but loaded with sauce and I looked like a pig eating them and had to use every napkin I had

Bourbon street chicken or something (Chicken breast, shrimp, onions, mushrooms and the smallest order of french fries) 1/5
I gave this 1 star because I go the food, everything else sucked.  The onions, mushrooms and some of the french fries were burnt and the chicken was dry as hell.  And the manager dropped our food on the ground so we were there for awhile and werent even offered like a discount or anything ffs.

I will stick to chilis

This workout today actually felt good

1/2 mile jog
1/2 mile walk

Rack pulls for doubles at 315 SUPA SET 50lb DB bent over rows(both hands)
multiple sets, I think i did about 8-10

lots of lat pulldowns

lots of biceps

I supa setted my upright rows with the lat pulldown

then walk and I met a girl BYAAAAAH

this is how I did it, CLASS IS IN SESSION!!!!!!


She goes in there and mainly is a cardio bunny and hits machines and typically everyone who isnt a gym rat just goes through the line of machines and I ended my lat pulldowns with a vbar thats high in the air and shes about 5'4 and I left it on in hopes she'd ask me to help her out

Boom she asked me to help her take it off n put the straight bar on and I worked my magic with my shirt thats tight on top n gets loose on the bottom to hide the chub

I noticed on my red acid supplements that the expiration date is next month even though I just bought it, so I will try to use a bottle before then. Obviously not trying to overdose on it but I will try to use much as I can.I think my other job is shrinking my stomach because I can't eat nearly as much as I could which is probably a good thing. I've only had half a sub, soup, some donuts, some sausage jerky, and that's about it so far for the weekend.

Some back work today with some running, nothing too exciting

I had to dick around with deadlifts at first on the shitty rack because the newbie was doing barbell(barbell only) upright rows, shrugs and curls in the squat rack which is just the most absolutely annoying thing in the world.

Just relaxing, gonna pop some acid and go to work later while we get a snow storm tonight into friday

Snack Food review!!

Old Wisconsin Turkey Sausage

Well they will last quite awhile, I bought this pack last week and it's good until 8/5/16 so I give that 2 stars
Price is about 5 dollars and you get 14 sticks which is good value so I will give it 4 pbj sammiches
Taste is pretty good, not like jerky or anything but good enough so you wont get sick of eating them: I give it 3 mushrooms
3-1-4g ratio(fat/carb/protein) which isn't bad at all so I'll give that 5 volcanoes

Overall this stuff is good with 2 stars, 4 pbj sammiches, 3 shrooms and 5 volcanoes rating I say go for it if it's in your store.

Anyway

I gotta watch some boulderz n trapz videos tonight to spice up my shoulder routine or else i will just end up with
1 handed BB OH press or just a regular OH press
db work for oh press then the 3 raises
machine work
upright rows
triceps
run
get coffee, get new phone, get a heater for work and rock out in my underwear watching street outlaws

Just got back from watching Deadpool and best movie ever, gets the highest rating from me ever

Anyway

Are you there Adarq?  It's me Eric and I have a problem

I just got my test results back for the local PD and I got an 85 which is decent I suppose but I am already signed up for the Fitness test on the 20th.  The push ups and sit ups aren't a problem but I have to do a 1.5 mile run in 12:30 or 12:50.  Since I have like a week lol should i just spend time going balls out or just focus on doing 1.5 miles and try to get faster and faster each time?

I got my compex today so I'll take whatever abuse I need to.

I also was signed up for the sheriffs for my county and another so I will def go with sheriffs if they accept me this fast.

ANYWAY

HELP MEEEE!!!!!!
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 12, 2016, 09:04:41 pm
Tonight
-1 mile run(18 laps a mile)
-i think a 9 or 10 min split
-The second Lap I felt the quads tighten up probably because I did legs earlier and no potassium pills in awhile.  It felt like my hoodie kept choking me which was a pain in the ass.
-I walked a bit afterwards and tried for a half mile run at 4:25

5 mile bike ride

gym closed

I pick up running pretty fast so by thursday I will know if it will be worth it to even try.

The plan until Adarq tears it apart.

Morning
30 minute slow jog
BW movements(push up, sit ups, burpees) go 10/10/5 for a half hour
Yoga

Afternoon
20 minute jog
BW movements- 1 set all out for 3 minutes each
Yoga

Night
15 minute jog
BW movements- 1 minute set each
yoga

I might do this for mon/tues

Wed/thurs I will try to shorten the runs but speed up my pace

friday: test day

Diet
1 solid meal
the rest will be protein shakes and bananas

friday might carb up a bit the night before.

Doing this I can hopefully get rid of 10lbs or so which will help out a lot.

I think once I am there and I dont have to focus on the laps and I can just run I can just do my thing and go faster.  Once I count reps then I cant focus on anything else and i shit the bed.

how fast can you run 1.5 mi right now? if you're not sure.. i'd find that out ASAP.

??
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 12, 2016, 10:04:12 pm
Yeah, I tried tonight but my legs cramped up due to legs n shit this morning.

If i was focused and prepared I would say 13-14 mins is a good estimate in my current state.

With stretching to open my hips and get my stride longer and more comfortable I am sure I will get faster by doing that and I usually pick up running fairly fast.

I was doing 4.5 min splits(half mile) or so maybe 3 minutes after I just did a mile and only went so slow cuz my legs were dead and cardio was just shot.  I am going to compex tonight and hit the gym up tomorrow morning and do some more testing.

would my plan be decent?  I figured if I can jog for 15 mins and over then if i pushed it, the 12 wont feel so shitty
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: adarqui on February 12, 2016, 11:27:21 pm
i don't think you need 3x/day.

i dno, here's what I would do I guess.

when will you test? early? late? whenever you test, i'd make that your "hard run". So for example, say you test in the morning, make that your hard run. Then in the evening, go at a light pace for ~30 minutes or so. I like the 2x/day approach, because in one session you would be much more specific (running harder for 1 to 1.5 miles at approximately the time you would be testing), and the other is just general relaxed cardio (burn some cals, get the heart pumping, relax & breathe).

then i'd just throw in an active rest day whenever you feel you need it.. if you feel sore/drained from doing that 2 days in a row, then just do an hour of walking with some extremely light/short (50-100 yards) runs mixed in.

for your hard session, i'd warmup real good and then run hard for 1 or 1.5 miles.. By run hard, I mean push your pace but not to the extent where you're accumulating so much lactic acid that it's making you quit. That feeling should be saved for the last sprint (~200-400m). I wouldn't look at your time while you're running either, wait until the end. after you're done with your hard run (don't stop), do one more cooldown mile at a relaxed pace.

make sure you don't do too much heavy lifting this week, that'll tap into your recovery. You'll want to focus mostly on this running stuff & bodyweight exercises/yoga like you mentioned. Also make sure you're not under-eating/under-hydrating. If all of a sudden you cut calories drastically you'll feel like even more shit when you're running.

as far as your stride, trying to make it "longer" can end up working against you. If you know for sure it makes you faster then cool, but, i've found (and read) that you should really just focus on hip extension and/or stride frequency instead. Taking shorter strides but at a higher frequency (~180 per minute) can speed up most people who aren't used to running.

hope that makes sense.
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 13, 2016, 11:05:50 am
Sounds good, thanks.

As far as calories go I was going to eat a solid food meal and 40-50gram protein shakes with bananas during the day.  I figured if I did 4-5 shakes, bananas and a solid meal I should  be fine.  If I need it later on I'll add in another meal.  I did 3 meals plus chocolate milk at the Academy with working out for an hour a day and lost 10lbs.  The compex worked good, I am still sore but not as sore as I would've been and I will need to get the underarmour spandex cold weather thing cuz the run will be outside
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 13, 2016, 11:47:42 am
Also, lap 22-27 will be my "sprint" and Idk when the test is I have to call civil service number schedule it.  If I can get it rescheduled then I will do that so I can try to get a few weeks or months. 

As far as my weightlifting there won't be any, just bw  movements push up n  sit ups.

Compex review

I won't rate it yet because I only used it once

The shitty thing was I didn't realize I had to charge it for 3 hours the first time so I didn't use it until midnight. You need to shave the areas where the pads go because the pads are sticky af.  I think I might have put the pads in the wrong spots on my right leg cuz it wasn't working as good as my right.  There is a lot to do for set up but it's pretty easy. 

It feels awkward and cool and when I had that bitch turned up my quads were hopping like a low rider. 

I feel a lot better this morning compared to last night prior to the compex so it must be working.  I will give a better one within a week.

I had to spend time outside before and during work to figure out what was wrong with my wipers and turned out to be the linkage while it was -11 to -19 degrees out haha. 

So I will be going to do my shit, will be interesting to see how well I can run with stuffed nose and soar throat and fucked up ears.  I am definitly going to get the fitness test rescheduled, idk if I will even be able to get the day off anyway with only a weeks notice which is horse shit.

Compex was awesome, legs were sore last night and I cranked that bitch up and the soreness is gone.

damn that sux.. when u run tho, try breathing through your mouth ;f never have to worry about stuffy noses etc. I like it much better.

Post by: John Stamos on February 15, 2016, 10:19:38 am
Yeah haha that's what I had to do, I noticed it at first then I didn't notice it again until after my run.  I have to get the linkage fixed so I only had about a half hour this morning, will go back in a few hours.

Light run- 2 miles at a 6 min half mile splits.  Cardiovascular wise I was fine, breathing stayed consistent from the first half mile on and could've kept going for an hour if I wanted.  Later I will be doing bw movements, stretching and a brisk walk.  Tonight will be my focus on a 8 min mile pace.

I noticed cuz of my Donald duck ass that I was leaning forward in the run and it made things harder and burnt my legs a bit more, so stretching and focusing on keeping upright.

Weight, didn't even move...my body just defys the laws of physics and jesus and man because no way in fuck should I not be losing weight.

Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 16, 2016, 09:44:27 am
Well we have freezing rain and the roads are covered in slush and ice so no gym, made it halfway to the gym and someone came into my lane and almost went head on so I said fuck this shit.

No fitness test, I was told if I called in on saturday that I would get shit canned because theres no one to cover my shift and theres a good chance we would lose the contract and I cant risk calling in, losing my job to go to a fitness test that I am not ready for.

I still have 2 sheriffs left, and Im taking a test for jamesville CO and my counties custody officer in April

So Adarq, I would like to Collab with you about making a new program designed to keep my muscle but get better at running.  I would like to get down to 10 mins for the 1.5 miles.


I would like to leave legs on fridays because of the weekend being rest days

I would like to run everyday or some form of cardio even if its 2 days long distance, 2 days "sprints" and  1-2 days of active recovery on a bike going 10 miles or something(I'll probably have to get a pillow or something)

Now I am wondering if I should go with,
Mon-Push
       -long distance
Tuesday
       -Sprint
Wednesday-pull
       -Long Distance
Thursday
       -Sprint
Friday-squat
        -Active Recovery(bike with pump session)
Saturday
        -Active Recovery


For the workouts, 1 heavy movement then supa sets for 10-15 reps area

Long distance will be starting at 2 miles and over time I will increase it by .5 miles whenever I feel like 2 miles isn't working me hard anymore at lets say 6mph

Sprints will be 1 mile- Working towards a 5:50 mile

Goal Body weight: 215lbs

Before I felt like I was going through the motions but now I am legit motivated, I dont want to sit there and have to plan out a fucking  week where I have to try to get ready for it.

So adarq if you feel like tearing it apart I'll be here to listen.
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 17, 2016, 12:32:21 pm
I may just do 2 long distances, 1 sprint and the rest active recovery days so I don't burn myself out

Just took my steroids( Red Acid, 24/7 burn, Vitamin C, Mens 1 a day etc etc)

Cooking a steak and took in a 40 gram Brotein shake

This morning

Benched: up to 275 for a triple(felt super weak)
RSlanger: 275x10
R Slanger: 225xa lot

DB side/front raise SUPA SET: 20/25/30 for sets of 10-15

Incline push upsx3 sets of 20

Machine drop sets for chest press, flyes and tricep work on lat pulldown

Well I'm uber duper super pissed

My weekdays are an open schedule at work so I pick the days I work then they fill in the rest.  I was scheduled for sat-wednesday and after I called in yesterday due to the weather, all of a sudden he gave my tuesday/wednesday away to someone else.  He's a shitty cock sucking piece of shit "supervisor" who does everything he says we shouldn't do and his bff gets special treatment.  I might just try for the post office or something if they have a test, get good benefits and pay and I will only have to drive 3-4 miles to work. 

I'm going to the gym tonight to bike and run my moobs off and I just got my new hat and hip circle in so I will play around with that.

then some sort of running depending on how my legs feel
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 18, 2016, 11:40:10 am
Well that sucked.

 :ibrunning: felt super shitty after back.  Felt tight and hard to breath, hips kept pushing back so I'd lean forward and just overall felt exhausted with a 10.30 mile pace.  As bad as I felt if I can figure out pacing soon then I should do better, I came out way too fast and that doomed me at the half mile mark.

Gonna walk/ jog another mile n fill this out at home
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 18, 2016, 01:26:47 pm
-11lbs I think

Deadlift w/hip circle- 315x multiple sets of 2/weight went up easy, I could feel my glutes and hammys activating a lot more
Lat pulldownsx8x10
lots of biceps

then the run.

There is a program on my phone for running that sets the pace for you, idk if it can be customized or not but I might try it out, I just need a workout arm band thing for it.

the first beginner program is for 30 minutes, has a 5 minute warm up with soft music and has a gps tracker on it, and it can track your heart rate and all that shit, I think the goal of it is a 5 min warm up then a 1.7 mile run in 20 then 5 min cool down or something and I am about to find out what they say during the actual run.  speed also lol itll say turtle for mine but if you're not running fast enough it yells at you to speed up, the first part of the beginner program is like a fast walk at 3.4 mph but i think it speeds up after 5 minutes or something.

I might stick with this for next week and just go through beginner-advance programs that way im not just winging it.

Also, Adarq, do you recommend any running shoes?  The ones I have now i bought cheap cuz they were like last years model and they are fine but I can definitely tell they dont give a whole lot of support in the ankles

Hey man,

Would you say the compex is definitely useful in recovery from your experience so far?
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 19, 2016, 02:16:42 pm
yeah I like it a lot, I've been really sore and you wont be completely recovered but if you keep up with it then you will have minimal soreness.  The shitty thing is you have to turn it up more if you have more fat in certain areas haha.  For 220 something dollars or whatever I paid for it, it will be worth the money as long as it doesnt break within the first year.


The beginner running program on the S6: Easy but hard
I think the beginner program is for people more obese than I am because it wants you to jog but they give you walking paces.
5 min warm up then 3.6mph, 3.8mph, 4mph then back down but it keeps telling you to jog which for me was a super fast walk, I had to put it up to 4.5 just to have some kind of a jogging pace.  Whole thing lasted for 30 minutes with the warm up and cool down.  It won't be my main running program, ill try the intermediate program next and use the beginner for active recovery days.

After the run my legs were feeling the burn but I decided to go light with the hip circle

I worked with 275 for multiple sets of 2.  The hip circle worked great for the deadlift but for skwaats I think I need a bigger one because I kept getting stuck a little above parallel.  Afterwards though I didnt do anything because I could feel my hammys and ass cramp up.

tomorrow I will attempt something and I will be joining my old gym soon so i can hit it up on fridays-sundays and just random days during the week to up the volume.  I will wait until the snow is just about done to join though .
Title: Re: #Eric'sGettingCutGettingButt
Post by: John Stamos on February 20, 2016, 11:24:53 am
My quads were sore and and weak yesterday so I threw the compex on them last night.

45mins x endurance setting
20mins x active recovery setting.

What I did was turn it up until it felt like a cramping spot appeared on my leg and it worked the knot out and just kept going up and up.  My hammies and glutes are sore but my quads feel refreshed.

Might be changing jobs if they piss me off more, if that's the case then I will be doing 11pm-7am and working out afterwards.  Also thinking about the post office that's hiring near me.

Anyway I also sent in my canvass letter for a sheriffs departments yesterday and I am 17 on the list so hopefully I should get in first round.

Post by: John Stamos on February 20, 2016, 05:20:51 pm
Lol I think all of the getting stronger and all that stuff is bullshit but as far as recovery goes it works.  Tonight I'll use it on my biceps so i will let you know how well it works on other muscle groups.  When you turn it way up its like a massage.

Post by: John Stamos on February 21, 2016, 08:33:07 am
Just going to be a turd today, tomorrow will be the beginner running program, I think there is one and I will try it out.

There is a light running program then it goes power walking then calorie burning, endurance, and speed coach ones which are an hour long or more.

I have also been around 65 beats for my resting heart rate, 71-75 after fat burner and I  would like to get to 50s.

Tomorrow

Bench: heavy doubles with slanger and drop sets with close grip
DB OH press: 4 sets then drop sets
Flat DB press: same as OH
DB front/side/rear
DB flyes: work heavy and drop set
Push ups
Machine work
Triceps

Running

Tuesday

Running program
Bw stuff
Brown pump

Fatty today, upped the amount of food I ate yesterday and yeah it made me heavier along with all of the protein shakes and fluids

The running programs are starting to be a joke and annoying, I cant ever get on the track so it takes forever to recognize that I am on a treadmill so even though I am going faster than the speed it wants me to go it tells me to speed up or to take a break.  Theres a 5 minute warm up and it still wants to start out at a fast walking pace which kills.  So I might look at the nike one I downloaded and see that that is like but I ran 1.6 miles today, my legs and hips were just broken.

Tomorrow I want to try to get on the track when no one is around or hop on the treadmill and do speed half mile runs.  If I am on the treadmill I want to warm up and just try for 8 min mile pace.

Today
Bench: 275xdoubles for 3-5 sets
Drop set 225x5
135x10

DB OH press: 30x10, 40x10, 50x10, 60x10, 50x10, 45x10, 40x10, 35x10, 30x10
I cant remember if i did DB presses
DB Flyes: 30x10, 40x10, 50x10, 45x10, 40x10, 35x10, 30x10, 25x10, 25x15 partials
DB side raise:20x15, 25x10, 30x10, 20x2x10
DB Front raise: same as side
push ups- 3 sets

machine drop sets

imho, steady paced runs (same pace @ 30-60 min) will give you the most benefit right now. focusing more on a relaxed pace for longer durations will have the most impact on your resting HR and such too.

Thanks, yeah that's what I am leaning towards, the power walking kills more than the jogs haha.  I'll make 30 minutes my minimum and depending on how my body feels I will either stop at 30 or go for longer.

Also, I forgot that i had pretty much no rest periods with the DB work.

Considering I am only doing pump stuff tomorow, I will try to go for 60 mins

Walked for awhile for active recovery then arm work, some bicep curls with dumbbells and heavy tricep work with flat tricep DB extensions, went to 60lbs each hand.  Its a PR but idk if its a true PR cuz I usually do them after all of my chest work haha  Then just some lat pulldown tricep extensions

Blaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

Tried to do Back today but no bueno.

 :ibrunning:
5 min walk
35 or so minute slow jog

Super slow pace, i had it on about 4.7 just so I didnt kill myself while running 2 miles.
I went to 2.5 and I felt good and I was going to go to 3 miles but right around 2.6 i burped up my fat burner and my stomach just felt sick so i hopped off at 2.7 because I puked in my mouth(fat burner without food is no bueno) even though thats how I usually work out. 

After that my body just like shut down and I tried to do deadlifts but got light headed so I headed out to walmart and spent mucho Pesos.  Bought a ton of propel water, my other flavored water stuff that was on sale and turkey sausage snacks along with stuff for my sisters new baby and what not.

going to compex and chill and maybe hit the gym up later

What's your weight? Target weight?
What's your target calories and target deficit?
Ever try intermittent fasting?

What's your weight? Target weight?
What's your target calories and target deficit?
Ever try intermittent fasting?

Target weight is well I'd be happy with eventually being at 210-220 and right now I rock between 294-299 depending on what I eat and how many fluids I take it.  Honestly I take in a lot of water and what not and I noticed granted I'm a chubster but I look bloated as fuck.  Within that run this morning my whole shirt was so soaked that i rung it out in the bathroom.

I've given up on tracking calories haha I'm just not dedicated enough to keep tracking them.  Say I have my journal in my car from being at work and I wake up and have a breakfast, I really have no desire to go out to my car to write it down haha.  I can guesstimate though and I'd say around 3k calories a day would suffice.  I tried to Intermittent fast before and not a fan of it haha.  The best one I ever did was just a simple bodybuilding diet years back from chris Powell/shelby starnes with his little containers you fill up with a meat, veggies and a fat, ate 7 times per day and I ended up eating about every 2 hours and eventually I'd get hungry as hell between the 2 hours so I knew it was working.  Right now I don't eat too bad, my body just wants to keep the weight lol idk

Once I keep at running and I can figure out how much weights I should do and how much running I should be doing then I will be good.

If I have to for recovery wise I might just do 1 BB or DB and a machine exercise for each muscle group because I noticed when my titties this week were tight, it felt a little harder to keep a good steady breath, also a tight back, and running after hitting shoulders hard is just the worst thing in the world.

I am going to do legs tomorrow before work, my legs are cooked.  I went on the compex last night for about 80 minutes and it definitely helped my quads but they are still just done.

Today, Just going to hit a lot of active recovery, stretching, bodyweight and pump sessions for my upperbody.

 Thinking about doing walking and biking for the active recovery, half hour walk/half hour bike.

Feeling better since I started running again, just tired this morning cuz my pug farted at 4am and it woke me up.  I'm a do some jogging in place today at work to try to get to 10k steps.

I used the compex on my back and it worked pretty good, I could feel the middle of my back tighten up on the walk and made it uncomfortable. 

Diet this weekend will consist of protein shakes, a mayonnaise free sub, small bag of chips and beef sticks which are 8fat, 2 carbs, 5brotein.

990 calories for the pack of beef sticks, 450 for chips, 660 for bfast, then say like 8-900 for the sub which puts me over 3k.  So I will cut the sticks and chips in half which will make room for 7 protein shakes but I won't drink that many.

Also will be tracking my fluids.

Post by: John Stamos on February 29, 2016, 12:11:34 pm
On average I drink a little over a gallon a day.

Weight is roughly the same so idk

Over the weekend I did 1 patrol about 1.4 miles at work because it was cold as balls out on saturday and sunday it was 50 and sunny so I did 4 rounds. 

Today
5 min brisk walk
10 min run then they brought like the second graders onto the track and asked if they were going to get into my way....yeah like 50 little kids on a tiny track wont get in my way so i told them ill just go on a treadmill
(3 mins between going from the track to the treadmill)20 min light jog at 4.7
5 min brisk cool down
This week is 4.7, next week will be 4.9 and so on and so on for 30 minutes until I cant make the full 30 without stopping then I will cut back to the last speed that i finished 30 minutes in and keep there for a few weeks and try to keep going up.

Bench
135x10 warm up
185x10 4-2-2 tempo
225x4x5-8 at a 4-2-2 tempo
Blue Slanger bench: 2x idk rep out.

DB flyes- 30/35/40/45/50x10 with 5 partials
Seated but no back supported OH DB press: 50x3x10
DB side raise: 20/25/30x10

Triceps
Pushdowns- v bar: 175/155/135/115/70/70 all 10-15 reps
Supa Set- rope- 70lbs for sets of 10


Running felt good today also, after the first 10 minutes my body felt fine and i tried to practice my breathing

Forgot to add that the benching was done with feet up and a flatish back and for food

4 eggs, 1 steak, 1 protein shake and about to make another one before I leave for work
at work I will just have propel, monster(no cal) and the turkey sausage bites.  When I get home I will cook up another steak and eggs.

This should be interesting, at work and we have to now go through with a phone to scan places that we have been and they just put up new hits that I have no clue where they are so I'm fucked.

As far as steps today, i got about 2.5-3 miles in, at least 3 miles or more by now with the other walking around I've been doing so I am probably around 6-7k steps today and I have 1 walking patrol and other shit to do so maybe I will hit the goal.

I wrote down my workout schedule and forgot the paper but tomorrow is just a recovery day with pump stuff

1 hour split between walk and bike to ease up on the legs
BW stuff and machine work for chest and shoulders with db work for triceps.

sleep wise I wake up usually around 4 every morning and then 8, so I am generally tired at night if I don't take a nap.  Over the weekend and Friday I think is when I started to get tired AF around 7-8pm so I will have to figure some shit out.

lots of different reasons, sometimes to use the bathroom, dogs wake me up, im uncomfortable or ill just wake up not have to do anything or because of anything and then just go back to sleep.

I'm already tired and I cant sneak in a nap at this job site lol so I gotta stay awake and the snow storm is starting already uggh its almost march this shit just needs to stop.

Blah haha, I didnt get home from work until about 2am or so and just definitely not feeling it.

ive been getting about 3-5 miles in at work so i will just use that as my active recovery.

Tonight since we have new hits to learn I will do a few more rounds than normal which might be an extra couple of miles or so.

Tomorrows plan

Run-4.7mph for 30 minutes with 5 minute warm up and cool down with some stretching
Back work with deadlifts and lat pulldown and doing the stuff i was supposed to do today.

I am still fucking tired so I might get a goood nights sleep haha

Also, got my compression gear on so idk, hopefully it will help lol

After reading the Shrimp thread, it kind of brought me back to Terminal Vertical back starting in 06 I believe.  That site towards the end was just a free for all wrestlemania and I remember my main Nemesis was Boka.  I think he tried to discredit one of my dunk videos saying it was fake because there was a white spot(wrist band) on my arm even though i used a potato for a camera and have 0 editing skills.

 Once I can figure out how to lose weight lol  I would like to get back into dunking, I think considering now if I focus on it at any bw my squat shoots up pretty fast, a lot faster than when I was younger and dunking.  When I was maybe 220 or so I could 1 step off 2 feet and dunk if i had a good pass and shit I think my squat was only mid 300s for high bar.

As far as food today, not a lot, i have some granola bars and turkey sausage for tonight but i took a protein shake before work and I was just in and out of sleep from 8-noon or so.  I am down 1 belt buckle hole and marked off where I could get comfortably and still walk around and not forcing it so I will keep track of that week by week.  Tomorrow I will hit up the walmarts and get some chicken I guess or grounded up turkey, who knows. 

Thats all for now, I'm surprised I am even awake at work right now so ill probably have more bs to add later.

wow i remember that site. b0ka was a good dunker. there was another 4-letter name dunker who was also skinny and white. can't remember, some name with an M i think. mica? mika?. both eventually moved onto thejump101.com and i did as well. from there i hopped over to adarq. edit: wait from there we went to TheVerticalSummit, and THEN adarq.

i dont remember any usernames from terminal vertical though. are you sure you arent thinking of the vertical summit?

it'd be fun to see you dunk again. still have old vids up somewhere?

Yeah I have 2 on youtube and a few on metacafe, when I get home I will put them up on here.

Yeah Terminal Vertical I was HighRiser cuz thats around when shit what was that dunking show contest called..city slam?  Sounds right haha.  Yeah I had some pretty good 8ft dunk vids on metacafe too I believe, that was always more fun than just doing 1 or 2 handers on 10ft lol  I remember one guy on TV was Six6Six and Adam was another, all I remember is I became a Moderator towards the end and just went straight up dictator lol

Six6six is vaguely familiar.... I remember adam. The volleyball guy right?. He went on to make the vertical summit forum, he was admin there. He had a period in his username and some red white blue volleyball avatar i think.

Now who the hell made thejump101, that i cant remember for the life of me. Its on the tip of my tongue somehow though.

There was also some troll named froz3n with a lion avi on TVS who paraded himself as the plyo king. Also another troll named squidward who reminds me of TheSituation a little

Edit: holy shit. My username was lakers on TVS but thats after i changed it from...Air DS!!! Blast from the past

Lol yeah I remember L-stan too, we were bro's back in the day, also there was a black guy on TVS that was like 5'7 or 5'8 that was really good.

That makes me want to jump again, its settled lol

Todays run was great but shit at the same time.  I noticed that I run too much on the outside of my feet so it was just burning like a mofo right above my ankle going straight up on the side of my leg. It got to the point around 10 minutes when I  said fuck it and went to intervals for 1 walking lap 2 running ones for the rest of the 20 minutes.  Altogether I think i hit around 2.5 miles.  Theres a good chance I will just need new shoes that give better support considering how many times I've rolled and twisted my ankles, they probably arent the strongest out there.

then the rest of the workout was just machine work with bent over rows, nothing exciting.

What I am reading is that I underpronate which isn't bad I guess unless it causes pain n shit and so I'm thinking about buying Asics Cumulus shoes which I guess are good ones for that or if I can find a light ankle brace that will just help keep my ankle a little straighter.

This gets me pretty jacked up on my runs but I tend to run faster than I should.

Nothing today, my calves were so shot that if I tried to just flex it, it'd cramp up on me so just taking a recovery day instead of active recovery. 

Tomorrow will be some legs with other pump up session

and 30 minutes of running and shiiit

Hopefully it goes better than last time, my cardio was perfectly fine I wasn't breathing too hard at all just my legs were shot so I will see.

Diet wise today was eh, cooked up some chicken for supper and then just had stuffed chicken, 1 breast stuffed with shredded mozzarella and veggies.  I miss having them but they can be a pain in the ass to cook so this weekend I might buy the 5lb and stuff it with veggies and cheese, maybe some ham or turkey too.

Damn I want to dunk again haha, watching one of my old videos I liked getting to the point where I would just full on usain bolt sprint to dunk and it was a ballin ass feeling.

gonna try to get to bed early and get to the gym early to make up for a lot of cardio
 
Holy tits, looks like winter ends next week, gonna be 50 on monday, 60 on tuesday, and 60 on wednesday.  So looks like someone will get to run outside and not get side tracked by old folk

At a little over 2000k so far and at a 49% carbs/37% protein/ 14% fat

Went too crazy with carbs today uggh I'll try to keep them low tomorrow.
Title: Re: Operation Save 2 dollars on Clothes at Walmart
Post by: John Stamos on March 07, 2016, 11:34:04 am
Today was a 10 min run with 20 minutes of walking

5 min warm up walk
10 min run- hit a 9:40 mile and I was whooped cuz towards the end I jacked up the speed for the last 4 minutes or so.  I figured if I could figure out a decent pace then I could easily beat the 9:40.
      -What I will do next time is just work up slow and start off with 6.2mph instead of just 6.  tomorrow run will be 30 mins hopefully lol at.. i think its 4.9.
Bench: 225x3x10x1x5
DB flyes- worked up to 50sx10 with 5 partials
Side raise for shoulders(fronts were fucked up already)
DB lying extensions


Weight was down a few lbs, I kept my Macros at about a 40/40/20 split between carbs and protein then 20 was fat.  Saturday I hit like almost 300grams of carbs and  sunday was like 180 somehow lol I didnt think I had that many carb related foods.

I will probably get a few miles at work tonight so that should be decent to finish off my active recovery.


On sunday I watched my flying101 dvd and it got me all sorts of jacked up just watching Kadour Ziani flying through the air.

Ive done about 3.5 miles today and will probably hit about 4-4.5 by the end of the day.

I didn't want to be a turd during the week so on the 28th I think I start working Sat-Thurs so I will only be a turd for 3 hours each day instead of the whole day.  Wont be spending it on anything fun though ugggh.

I have to stop reading articles about Hillary, just makes me want to RKO her.

Nothing today, got called into work cuz another person was sick and my calves were just cramped and dead.  Calories for tonight are going to be pretty low, but i didnt want to eat shit just to get the extra calories.  Had some chicken and french fries for lunch, then the rest of the day is going to be 4 bananas and quaker chewy chocolate chip bars.  Tomorrow I am going to chilis and will sadly order off the "healthy menu"  Just not the steak again, I stepped in goose shit earlier that was bigger than that steak. 

I believe I am officially down 1 belt buckle hole lol  I don't want to look at a scale and just judge by how I look and my performance considering I figured I wont knock 2-3 minutes off my time while jumping up 20-50lbs of fat.

So tomorrow is a pull day, I want to get my running all done early so I will do an hour, half hour run, half hour walk, 5 min walk-30 run- 25 walk
Some bent over rows, lat pulldowns, biceps and machines that i was supposed to do today.

I have to start doing abs at some point, I just hate doing them after awhile because they cramp up on me for the first few days and I feel like I'm in labor.

it was high but still impressive

Also

TV SHOW REVIEW TIME!!

Scream the series from MTV

If anyone is a fan or has watched the Scream movies, you would notice that as the movies went on they kind of would pick on itself and the movie genre in general, especially Scream 4 with the inside jokes which made Scream 4 the best in my opinion.

-The TV show had that same feeling, the acting was better than expected
-the killings were on par with the first 3 movies as far as blood and what not
-They kept the basic stuff such as sex, the hot girl that gets killed which sparks everything, the family secrets and the new hot chick prancing around in underwear and bikinis from time to time while the main girl is supposed to be a prude but that didnt last very long
-It's social media based like the 4th movie
-Some of the killings were pretty well done and clever and the stories within the story were a nice way to go

I wont do a sarcastic rating system this time because I need coffee but if I had to give it a rating out of 10
For my expectations it gets 20/10 and as a show I would give it a 10/10 mainly because I am a fan of the movies and the show had me hooked because I'm a sucker for whodunits and yes I was wrong at the end, I stopped it right before you find out haha.

Yeah whats nuts is that I guess he typically will squat high in training but will smash the weights in competitions.  The only other time I have seen someone around this weight was Donny Thompson with 1200 with a suit, knee wraps and it might have been reverse band but I'm not sure. 

Its funny that it will make people in the comments section so mad that he was a little high even though 99.99999% of the people in the world cant even unrack that.  When I had 550 on my back or when I used to go over 6 just to hold it to get used to the heavy weight I was like yeah this shit sucks hard so having 1100 on your back has to feel insane.

Well todays workout was a bust

I hit up machine work and after the chest press and oh press my chest and triceps were cramping up bad.  On the run, I made it about 10 ins in and ankles and shins n shit were on fire so again I had to walk 2 laps then run until it was burning bad again and kept doing that for a half hour and hit up 10 mins on the arc trainer and got bored.

I think I need new running shoes and this week i bought new tires this week so I will order the Asics Cumulus next week.

Yesterday I popped some headache pills n what not and went to chilis with my brother.  Had a turkey burger with a side of fries and a side of steamed broccoli.  The broccoli was a waste of money, there was like 6 pieces and there was salt all over them.  Today I just had a bagel and coffee just waiting for my chicken to cook. I will eat 1 breast with veggies for lunch and I am cutting up another breast to eat throughout tonight.  When I start working 6 days a week I will prep a lot of chicken and veggies and just bring a cooler with me.

I know I keep saying this but I am legit at a place right now where I don't have any desires...god damn walkie talkies, anyway, to binge eat or have the urge to snack on pizza and wings and shit.  Last time I was like this I got to somewhat decent abs and I've only been eating when i was hungry but I might squeeze in a few here and there to get the calories but for the most part that will only be like a shake or something.

I gotta keep marching forward with the running though and tomorrow I will just be running, maybe some intervals and just do a full body workout after squats to make up for everything.  Over the weekend I will try to mainly do chicken, broccoli and 1 serving of peanut butter for each meal and try to find a decent alternative to have if i have a craving again. 

Also, just did a round and its roughly 1.5 miles, had to skip one hit because the path was flooded so its around there.  Brooke Wells is giving me a crisis on facebook with the slow motion booty shots and looking for like idk road bikes or trail bikes or whatever kind of bikes are out there so I can try to go biking on my days off on the trails.

if i gave in to my eating desires i'd be morbidly obese. they have become much less though.. you'd think they might be damn near non-existent since i'm ~150. but i've always been someone who could kobayashi everything in sight.

can you run those trails too? there are no trails near me, sounds fun.
Title: Re: Operation Save 2 dollars on Clothes at Walmart
Post by: John Stamos on March 11, 2016, 12:13:57 pm
Yeah I can run them, they are like 15 miles or so and lead to a beach, I cant run them all the way though haha.

And yeah I can kobayashi everything in sight too haha but working on it.

This morning

No cardio, the heels on my boots at work tore them up

skwaats
315x2
325x2x2
325x5

DB Shoulder press: 50sx3x10
Lat pulldown: 5 sets of 10
tricep pushdowns: Vbar- 115x15, 135x15
Drop set 145-40 for sets of 10-15
Rope pushdowns: same deal but went from 115-25 and on the 25 i did multiple sets of 1 arm Mandingo extensions until I couldnt fully xtend my arm anymore.

Tomorrow is going to be about 60 so I will try to walk about 5-7 miles at work. and finishing up my coffee and protein shake, later will be chicken titties and veggies.

Triceps and calves are sore

This week I start my sat-thurs  so that will be full of joy lol. I will be getting a bike soon, just dropped about 650.00 on paying my amazon card card off and my tires so I'll wait a little bit.

Going on 5400 steps so far which is a little under 3 miles, so should be 8k more steps to go through today I think.  I ate a banana today and going to get some protein shakes going and a chicken tittie.  Also, when I'm lighter I wouldny mind training for a half ironman even though I will probably come in last haha

Well from tomorrow to 45 days within that time frame I'll be losing my main job site to another company.  So instead of getting pissed n plowing a digorno I'm going to plow some ass to get rid of my anger considering my operations manager is trying to hide it from me.

 Nothing today: tired from the time change because I forgot it was happening and i ended up shooting the shit with the night guard and got home around 2 or whatever.  Also, figured I'd get a jump on getting a new job in general because I really don't want to work in syracuse.

TOnight I will do my normal rounds at work so I will get around a half hour or more of walking each time and tomorrow I will just start my push day.

Alright I forgot to write down too that I have super bad DOMS going on that started on Saturday in my ass and hammies so I will see how it is tomorrow and just try to jog and see if itll warm up my legs enough

Just at work and thought of an interesting idea to help get my shit together that probably will not work.

I want to find a calendar or just buy one and write out certain things that I need to do each day before I can get lazy such as

Workout
walk/run 2 miles
Bike 5 miles
then idk something else

cross those off each day depending on what it is and once they are done i can be lazy. 

Next week is going to be rough and I will have to squeeze my workouts in somewhere.

I am doing Sat 14.5 hours/sun 12 hours, mon-thurs 8 hours(which will be fine) Friday-sunday 12 hours so I will just try to do mon push, tues pull, wednesday squat and thurs-sunday being runs and active recovery and what not or thursday be squat and wednesday be a strictly running/cardio day.

Bent over row from 135-235 i think with 20lb increments(10lbs on each side) for sets of 10
DB row- 3 sets of 15 with 70s or 80s I can't remember
Lat pulldown: 4 sets of a lot

bicep currrrlls for girls

7 minutes on the bike, my foot cramped up bad which is normal because I can't have a cardio session go right.

will walk later tonight and just took a test for the post office and have another one next week so hopefully I can get out of this god damn job.

Way too stressed out lately and I think it has been wearing me out.  I had some crazy fucking dreams last night but I slept through the night because of the Bob Marley tea drink.  I got chased by the scream killer but he was in a flannel robe and was floating so idk lol

Nothing today just wanted to relax today before work

Threw away the yohimbine, did some research on it and I think i had an allergic reaction to it, my skin on my upper cheeks were raw and felt sun burned.

yeah that happens, it's normal! first thing/before food is probably best. i actually sometimes drink coffee before meditation, kinda defeats the point but...i stay awake.

try the 'headspace' app, i believe they do a 'trial' ten days which gives a good intro to meditation/mindfulness.

Well skipping leg days are catching up to me #pussystatus #Doyouevenlift? #wheelsareflat

Dreyth squats: lol well I tried to full squat, definitely below parallel but nothing like his.
135x10
185x10
225x3 with resets
275x3 with resets
295x1
315x1- Felt good but some form breakdown due to mobility issues and went to almost a sumo stance
335xstuff lol i dont remember

Rack pulls from idk a little below mid shin level
worked up to multiple singles of 405

lat pulldowns

tricep pushdown pyramids: vbar into rope so
Vbar handle: 40-145-25 and hopped onto the rope for 25-125-25 and stuck at 25 and 40 doing single arm.  I think the stack goes up by 10lb incriments and 15 idk its a weird stack.

and some chest press machine.

I looked over the test for usps that I'd have to take tomorrow and it doesn't seem like it would take too long, looks pretty easy except for the last part which so happens to be a memory portion....my memory is dog shit. For instance

1-99 fuck drive =A
20-150 ass blvd= A
  - add in a few more for the A section and then theres a B and C section with similar addresses but different numbers and some different streets and then they give you an address and you have to remember which section a,b or c does it belong to.  I'll give it a whirl because I want to buy a Polaris Slingshot

Yeah teslas are dope but anything with 3 wheels you can register it as a motorcycle, just like the motorcycles that have 2 wheels in the back and one in the front.

that is what I really want, 2016 Ford Focus RS, I've wanted one for years but they were only available in Europe, drift button, AWD, 350hp byaaaaah

On a side note Adarq, there's an article about babies at a college getting butt hurt over someone who drew Trump and vote trump in chalk on the side walks n stuff.  They said it made them feel fear, pain and traumatized, the President is looking into who did it to press charges, but there are Pro Bernie sanders chalk markings and pro BLM markings there as well and nobody gave a shit.

Your thoughts?

This past week was shit but I'll getry back on track.

The other security company is going to take over this site on either Friday or a month from now.  There's a bunch of legal stuff going on and they can't takeover on Friday but who knows.

When this happens my schedule will be mon-frI 3-11 with weekends off..for the first time in 5 years haha.

I will need to figure out what I will eat during the week so I'm not hungry when I get home.  Probably sammiches but will need to figure out what I will use instead of bread.

Running low on data will write some more shit tomorrow.

Bench: 4-2-3 tempo
135/185 warm ups
225,235,245,255,265,275x1 w/ tempo
275x5
 -by this time my chest was feeling it and they went up fast but hit a wall on 4

DB flyes- up to 50s for sets of 10 with 5 partials
seated DB OH press- up to 60s for a lot
side raise with dbs for a lot

tricep pushdowns for a lot

walked for 15-20 minutes or so.  I cleaned out my guard shack last night just in case that was my last day at that site so i had to get home and clean everything out before I go to work.

will walk more at work tonight and bought a new cooler but it looks like a lunch bag thing uk I cant think right now, anyway with chicken thighs, turkey slices and 35 calories bread.

Post by: John Stamos on March 28, 2016, 03:28:11 pm
Fooooood

what did i eat today.....

2 Bfast burritos
I think that was it lol hmmm
I made 2 Turkey Sammiches with some Honey Mustard on 35Cal bread, some of those chewy bars and chicken I think I could only fit about 1 boob in the container(had to cut the chicken up into pieces)

Workout was decent today and feel strong, havent been taking shoulders too seriously though which needs to change because the 60s were easy and I just stopped there.  Gotta check out the hillary news station for the weather which usually is wrong because they both lie.  Wednesday might be a decent day to go running outside depending on how cold it could be in the morning.


Thinking about getting a new tattoo, I kind of wish my arms werent covered because it'd be good to put on my shoulder to bicep.  Hmmm will have to figure it out

Rack pulls: Felt shitty today, just a lot of pressure on my lower back and just felt like I couldn't get into the right position so I stopped at 365 before i fucked myself up

Lat pulldowns with some kind of handle lol idk: worked up to a heavy set of 8-10 and dropped to do multiple sets of a lighter weight with 5 breaths between sets

bicep stuff

I really need to look into a new gym that has more equipment.

then I walked for awhile.  Weather is clear but still cold as hell so just waiting a bit longer to get back into cardio so i can run and bike outside.

oh man you and i inhabit different parts of the internet. i googled that and literally could not find a non-right-wing source. nothing in NYT or wall street journal, nothing in a local or national TV news site, nothing in a local paper. it's all breitbart and infowars and shit. seems to be a conspiracy theory spun out of trump's (untrue) complaint a few weeks ago that sanders was sending protesters to disrupt his rallies.

Going back to separate body parts so it forces me to go and I can't convince myself I'll just do my active recovery walks at work.

I maintained weight while doing 3 days a week which is weird but oh well.  If my schedule gets switched to mornings then Idk I might have to find a new gym once school starts cuz I'd have to workout when all of the God damn kids are there.

Flat DB Flyes: 35,40,45,50x10 with partial reps thrown in

Rack pulls: did a few singles with 365
Deadlifts and rack pulls just few awkward and I cant get in the right position.  I will try to do deficits because I can get into a better position on them next week and see if it helps. I just don't want to pull my lower back on working higher than 365

Bent over rows: sets of 10 from 135, 155, 175 then drop set

lat pulldowns

biceps

velcro shoes lined up on the bench outside the track means gray dawn was walking on the track.

Went early which felt decent but i had to super set just about everything with taking a dump.  I didn't really eat anything yesterday and I felt just super low energy and woozy and just the i might pass out feeling so I stopped at the only open place....bk and got a few fish sammiches lol  It tasted kinda gross but I didn't pass out while driving home but I did shit my brains out this morning.

Woke up around 7, got on the shitter until 730 to make sure I was all good to go

went to the park to walk the track and did 3 miles roughly(the tracker tracked my steps around the house and to the car and to the track etc etc) 

This track is pretty big but kinda shitty cuz its like asphalt or some shit and its pretty rough on the joints.  I walked a few miles then decided to do every other straight to jog/walk/jog etc etc.  Each lap is .33 miles so bigger than a normal sized track which makes sense and I must have ran way more than a half marathon back in the day on it.  The fastest pace I got up to walking was 9.1mph lmao  I'm sure it is wrong though even though I was hauling a lotta ass.

BFast
2 pieces of bread with minimal butter
3 scrambled eggs
Eye round steak:  I didn't eat much because it was pretty gross, Walmart is starting to have the shittiest steaks.

Lunch: Might go with a chicken pot pie and a protein shake

Full squat form work

135x5
185x5
225x3
255x3
275x3
290x1
300x1
drop set back down
   -It didnt necessarily feel heavy or hard but going that deep just tore my quads up faster so by 300 my legs were a little wobbly
RDL: went light just doing working sets of 185x10 supa set with 80lb db front squats

Hammy curls: single leg up to shit idk 65lbs and my hammys had a massive leg pump with 10 partials after each weight

pretty much it, felt good for a starter leg day, will up the volume and intensity over time.  for the longest time I was just doing squats and hammy curls so throwing in more exercises I have to ease into it.

Also, I applied for a job that would be a 2.5 dollar pay cut but it actually would be less stressful and its right down the road from my old gym and it's mon-fri.  It's a split shift so there is like 3 hours between shifts so I can just join my old gym, go workout, hit up some cardio, sauna etc etc and go back to work.

How much does one month of "living" cost for you?

Bare minimum would be

900 or so if all I paid for was food, car insurance, rent, and minimum gas.  I am not much of a risk taker when it comes to money so I will wait until I have a new job to peace outta there.

My workout was Arms and it was shit

I walked in and somehow managed to trail in just a shit ton of dirt so i cleaned that up which killed my motivation

no matter what I couldnt get a pump in my biceps so that made me lose motivation to do them

triceps were fine but I think the douchebag i went to school with took the handle I use and he will know the deal later because I'm at a miserable point right now where idc if its a small or big thing happening, ill flip tits.

Gotta go into work early and stare at the wall all night, hopefully back tomorrow turns out to be better.

How much of a cost difference is there between the US and Romania?

In my area lets say, if you can get subsidized housing its like 300 a month for an apartment, but typically you can find one for 500 a month or so for a 1 bedroom in an iffy area haha.

Also, is it bad that I just became a 7th day Adventist to get out of working saturdays?  I told my supervisor that I am now and I wrote an email to my Ops manager who is a dumbass that I am one now.  On the low low I'm really not, I just dont want to get sent across state to work bullshit sites on my day off.

I just made a certificate that certifies me as a 7th day Adventist lol its legit now

In terms of food, it might be worse here, or the same. Except we make 10 times less. In terms of housing, I have my own apartment (my dad's). So I don't have to pay rent, just the house maintenance.

But a typical rent is about ~200$ or so.

Ooh ok yeah.  I mean i did 100 dollars a week for food and thats like going BB status which is like 2 dollars a pound for chicken roughly, a few family sized bags of veggies for 10 dollars together and then almond butter and drinks(flavored water or whatever) with some left over for like a cheat meal of pizza or something.

Well no gym today, took my assessment for the usps and have my test on monday.

Some freaky shit, the girl who I used to workout with that if I wanted to settle down with the white picket fence and all that jazz itd be with her.  Her dad just died today and I never saw any posts about any health problems or anything considering the guy was in his mid 50s or so and was waaaaay healthier and waaaay better shape than me.  If i had to guess he used to go for like 50 mile bike rides all over the roads and possibly got hit by a car or something but idk.  Just odd getting on fb and seeing that, former military, short shorts wearer and deep squatter plus he was a pretty cool dude, he was in our group of powerlifters when i first started in the gym with everyone.

yeah its a wake up call and I have to take this shit serious

I didn't barbell today, just lazy but figured I'd do something tomorrow.  I will try to find my basketball, if I can't then I will hit up my old gym to do a diesel workout.

Diet wise I had my cheat bfast with bfast burritos, I just ate 16oz of steak and veggies, well i still have some more veggies left.

Watching prescription thugs on netflix and going to apply for another job.

I was going to get turkey slices but some guy at the counter was like oh mam you can go before me I'm getting 5 subs and she said oh thats fine I'm getting 5 subs too and I didn't want to stand there for an hour.

picked up my Almond milk, freezing up some ice for my protein ice cream experiment later.

bought a new basketball at the walmarts today and stopped by the park on the way home to shoot around.

My vert is almost non existent and i dicked around for about 25 minutes and my lower back was killing me lmao ugh im so out of shape.

I didn't really try too hard to jump high but the one i did like made it so my body felt like it was going to implode.

My Gpa owned and ran a sawmill for an ass ton of years and ended up selling it and the second owner ran it into the ground.  I guess my Gpa wants to get back into it so I'ma convince him to invest into it.  If it works out then I won't have anymore bosses!!!!

No Barbellin' today, took my test at 9am and they email your results but since I wasnt on a secured network I had to go home to look it up and apply it to other areas.  Got a 85 which idk isn't too bad for a test where you just wing it and nothing to study for.  The memory part  I think screwed me over.  For example

Box A
1-50 morgan street
2000-3200 jack street
etc etc

Box B
51-100 morgan street
3201-6000 jack street
etc etc

Box C
something street
some other street
etc etc

and I had to memorize all of them and then I got a list of addresses, 32 i think where I had to try and place which address  belonged in which box.

It wasnt too bad while I was taking it but I def expected more than a 85

as far as the trans/bathroom thing goes... does it really matter if you go into the bathroom designated for your gender? I get the concern about people abusing this "acceptance" in the act of perversion.. but, that is probably going to be extremely rare AND women's bathrooms have stalls.

actual acts of indecency, perversion, sexual misconduct etc from a man entering a woman's bathroom, can lead to prosecution.. the same if a woman does so in a men's bathroom.

so I really don't get the concern.. If I walked into the men's bathroom and I saw a female, it'd be weird, i'd probably walk out to make sure i'm in the correct bathroom.. then realizing i'm in the correct bathroom, i'd go back in and handle my business. It really wouldn't bother me, afaik.

The GOP seems to always phrase it as if it's a male child predator entering a women's bathroom to violate your kid.. blatant scare tactics, as usual.

And like LBSS said..

trans people go to the bathroom because they have to take a piss, just like everyone else. more republican politicians have been arrested for sexual crimes in bathrooms than trans people.

If everything we do is framed with these artificial fears, we're so fucked. The same case can be made for leaving kids alone with priests or teachers. We're toast.

The way she did it made it seem like she could say she carries watermelon or kool-aid packets with her at all times and it would have felt similar.

ya but it's not though.. apparently she does actually carry hot sauce with her at times. HEH.

it could be pandering given the show she was on, but I still think she deserves a pass on that. I think Trump's bible comments and Kasich's hideous pandering in NY are far worse.

No, we have to find way to rehabilitate these people. Otherwise they are completely useless and a burden to society for as long as they live, beyond the fact that their lives are wasted and lost for one idiot thing that they did (yes, I know, the girl that was killed had her life wasted away, but as a society, we have to be better than those abusing the society). It's that simple.
Title: Re: Operation Save 2 dollars on Clothes at Walmart
Post by: adarqui on April 22, 2016, 02:49:27 am
Kids are fucking stupid, holy shit.  I read an article about an incident like today or recently a 16 year old girl was fighting with another in the bathroom at school then was jumped and left in critical condition and later died at the hospital.

What's fucked up is if the attackers are the same age, they will probably get a slap on the wrist which is complete bullshit.  Fucking people today aren't scared of the god damn laws because they are a joke.  At 16 I did stupid shit but I was also able to think about IF i do this then this this this and this could happen, so is it worth it? 

If you are old enough to be trusted to get behind the wheel of a car where you are constantly making decisions then you should be old enough to be tried as an adult. 

Lock them up and throw away the key, they can't fight over a man in prison.

Also, did anyone see the dildodrone? Shit is weird.

regarding the "back in my day" rationale.. there's far more laws/penalties now than there was in your day, than there was in my day. When I was in elementary school, you could bring a toy gun to school without incident. Now, if you draw a gun, you can get expelled. HEH. Also there are much tougher penalties in place for bullying and assault in schools. Young kids are being tried as adults and such; law enforcement steps in at these K-12 schools to handle fights and such.

To illustrate my point.. in 1998 I had a teacher who was high (apparently on crack) in the classroom, several times. She'd fall asleep while teaching us. You're not going to see any cell phone footage of it, or any news stories.. because "back in my day" (lol) there wasn't any cell phone cameras or facebook's to share it on.  :lololol:

The only thing that's changed between "back in your day" and "back in my day" is the media (online and tv) saturation of all of this stuff. It's like when my mom talks about how it was "safer" back in her day. Meanwhile, kids were getting abducted left & right, serial killers having the time of their life. For example, people think it was "safe to hitchhike" in the 1960's.. It's probably safer now. No one knows what the hell was going on back then, no cell phones, no traffic cams, no sex predator lists etc. People just went missing and no one outside of their local community ever heard about it. Now that's eerie shit. They had to put faces on milk cartons.. that was there facebook. lmao.

dem stats.

http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/uscrime.htm

rape is way up.

i imagine changes in prosecution (of everything on that stat list) influence stats over time.

It's that simple.

and remember one thing.. it's our system which is failing the youth.

I have this habit of looking at the system first, before looking at the people. Obviously people need to be held accountable for their actions.. But the piss poor education system, sugar-crack-fiend nutrition culture, crap health care system, disproportionate criminal justice system, for profit prison system, innocent people put to death penalty system, violence acceptable - nudity not acceptable, corporate & social welfare system, failing infrastructure, perpetual warfare state .. deserves alot of blame.

Why are we so quick to blame a kid who lashes out in a high school bathroom, beating someone to death.. when our society is in a perpetual state of warfare where violence is accepted?

Fuck, and you've also got kids growing up drinking water with lead in it. wtf.

Everything I mentioned above is a problem with the state.. we also have parents using violent video games as baby sitters, and violence all over tv 24/7; that's another issue, but still intertwined. Bad parenting is probably the biggest issue, but when you fail the youth who then become parents, what do we expect?

In a different story, the GOP always does this. They always find someone to blame, to distract people from the issues I mentioned above. It's always immigrants and poor people. It's a very effective tactic. (The democrats do it too, but they usually blame republicans and now Wall Street, which I think is far more fair :)

All i'm saying is.. ya hold these violent offenders accountable, but like raptor said, don't give up on them.. because in many instances, the system we have in place right now, helps perpetuate their behavior.

It's just a big cycle of wreck, IMHO.

In a nutshell.. any time someone does something, hit rewind.

Ooh ok yeah, I didnt recognize him cuz he wasn't doing spin kicks and shit.  That movie was as good as it was because Heath went full blown weird for the role.  Idk about Jared Letos Joker in suicide squad but if he or anyone else took that role in the dark knight it wouldn't have been nearly as good. I still think that bales batman was awful lol

Finally got my BBall pump so tomorrow morning so I will either go to the park or just go in the gym.

Gotta hit wheels tomorrow, thinking about doing maybe 275-300 for doubles until the bar speed slows down
then normal shit and hit arms just to get them out of the way.

Skwaats: plan was to do doubles at 275 until bb speed slowed down and didnt quite go like that
BB/135/155/185/205/225/255x10-3
275x4x2
got bored
275x10
As far as full squats go this is a i guess PR, they may not be as low as when I don't have my knee sleeves on considering they are tough and sometimes make it hard for me to get ass to grass.  They are feeling a lot more natural though and my set at 155 for some reason felt perfect, barbell was in the perfect spot, form felt perfect, went ass to grass and then the other sets I felt like i had a hard time getting the barbell into my back.

DB Front squat
125x2x10

Hammy curls: single legs from 30-75 for sets of 10

no bball, rained

Diet so far

Bfast
2 rice cakes: 100 calories and 22 grams of carbs
2 eggs: 160 calories I think
1 pear: 100 calories
2 small pieces of sausage, idk how many calories idk around 200 calories or so
Total: 560-600 calories
    Pre-workout and felt full and the rice cakes actually tasted good AF

Lunch: my angus beef in 8oz package stuff idk its good though
            Birds eye steamable noodles, broccoli and cheese
630 calories/  total so far:  around 1200

The rest of the day

Oatmeal bars, turkey slices and turkey sausage

I got my paper for the agility test for one of the counties already so I must have gotten a high score on my test.  I will still take the post office job if I get it over that county but the other two I can't pass up on.  I will be hopefully getting a call for an interview soon which will make me more jackederest and tannerest for a few reasons.
The shifts are 12:50-5:10 mon-saturday but I can pick up more hours at other offices if I feel like it.  I won't need to go diesel and buy way too much food for work considering I can just eat lunch, bring a small snack and then go right home and eat dinner, I wont have to keep buying my shows on amazon, save money on gas cuz it's only 5 miles away and I can still work out in the morning.  Hopefully it works out but if I get into the jail in Syracuse then I will switch to Hercules gym, it's where some of the strongest mofos are but on the girl side, the chicks there praise cat deadlifts and just shitty form but they have nice equipment.

Was going to play bball this morning but I left the house and had to haul ass to my car because I was under sniper fire.  Once I escaped I got halfway to the gym and had to take a detour because I ran into a sharknado.

Got to the gym

Bench
warm up: 135,160,185,205,225,255x10-3
275x5x5x4x3
Close Grip: 225x8-10/135x a lot

Had to fight off some ninjas

Incline DB press BB style: 60x3x10-15
Flat DB flyes: 35/40/45/50/55/60x10
Machine press:200-100 drop set

People asked me to show them my workouts but I said IDFTS and deleted them, about 30,000 pages worth.

Bfast: 2 eggs, 2 rice cakes, coffee, 1 pear and a 50gram brotein shakes with half milk half almond milk.

I was one sexy mother fucker when I was leaner.  I found my onedrive whatever that is and it had old pictures on it and yeah I must have taken that one to show off to some chick.  I find it weird that this one drive thing had old pictures on it and it's just creepy.

Just putting this video here so I can watch it tomorrow because I plan on hitting back and arms hopefully waking up early to get to the gym.

I need to start hitting my triceps from different angles, I tend to just do elbows to the sky and to the ground but haven't done anything flared in a long time.

Also, considering my bench grip I rely a lot on my triceps and I have to stop being lazy with them.  I have a feeling if I just get my triceps back to where they were then my bench will go up fairly fast just like how I was going diesel on ab work my skwaats jumped up.

I have my interview on Tuesday and at the minimum of 35hrs I will still pull in about 120 more per week than I am now but there is a chance that I will do like 2 hours for 3 days at other offices but for now I'll just sit back and relax. 

I won't have to buy my shows anymore which would be nice, I can go on a regular meal plan, I will save...well i mean right now i drive about 65 miles a day if I go to the gym.  With this job I will only be driving 22 miles a day.  Say my car gets 25 miles to the gallon which I still think is a bit high, I still spend around 29-30 bucks a week in gas.  With this new job I willl spend 10 dollars lol....I better get this job.

I just want to leave work right now lol

anyway ill just stop by the gym after my drug test tomorrow and do what I can, possibly back and arms

SUPA PUMP

Notes:
I will start doing DB RDLs first, by doing these first with heavy weight and really flexing my lats lead to a better back workout
Doing 3 different hand grips and ways of doing side raises fucking kills and works amazeballs

DB RDL
60x10, 70x10, 85x10, 100x8, 110x5, 120x5
       -Lats and hammies were pumped up

DB Row:  Worked up to 85s really squeezing and slowing the movement down

Lat pulldowns: this is where it got good, on the first set it felt like I had a back boner, tons of blood rush
I went heavy then back down, and yeah wow

Shoulders: OH press from 95-155 for sets of 10
DB Side raise: 20,25,30x10
Grip with hands all the way up to the side of the db that is out away from your body, middle or normal grip and then grip all the way back towards the side of the DB thats near your body.  DBs started out at my side, then on my quads and then in front of my body.  I focused on keeping "pinkys high" and Id do a lot and lean forward and back forward and back and by the end my entire delt was pumped.

I should also add that changing the grip makes the movementa lot harder which is why I didn't gof heavy with them.

No gym today Cuz it's closed on sundays now.

Woke up and my whole entire shoulders and upper trapz are just cooked.

Diet wise I had 2 eggs, shrooms and 2 chocolate flavored rice cakes.  I took a 5lb roll of ground turkey and stuffed it with cheese and mushrooms and cooked it so I will have some of it for lunch and try to stick to good shit.

I'm not sure what I did for reps for each but in the beginning sets like my bench at 135 - 225 i went from 10 reps and then worked my way down to 3 by the time I got to 225 but just didnt keep track of what reps I was doing for each particular weight.

Awkward RDLs
135/185/225/275/315/365x 10-1
These were awkward because Supa set Steve was taking up the squat rack and just going to do other random shit when i got sick of it and confronted him about what he was using and i thought he was going to shit himself.  So i was stuck in the shitty half rack where i had to walk out my RDLs and the legs come out far so i had to stop right above them and it was just a shit show.  On 365 I hit the legs of the half rack and it fumbled in my hands, I recovered but I was done at that point.

DB RDL: I still have to squat so I went light with these
85/90/95/10x10

Lat pulldowns: went heavy then light for a rep out set.

some biceps

10-15 minutes of jump roping

Adarq, thoughts?

(https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/13076753_10205653334003502_2974301931964410307_n.jpg?oh=1f766790bde2a1a6d46b0f172ffbcd88&oe=57764166)

I 100% agree with this, learning a trade is pretty much better than a degree to an extent.  There is boces that you can go to in high school and all that but once you're older the classes they offer aren't really as in depth as what high schoolers get and it will still cost you 3 grand or so depending on what you do.  Learning to weld, fab, run heavy machinery, electrical etc etc will give you a more useful skill and a higher paying job than a lot of bachelors or associates.  A guy I used to workout with is a boiler maker and works half a year pulling in 80 grand: went to a trade school.  I see a lot of posts for electricians at 35hr, construction jobs starting at 15 or so just to hold the stop and slow sign and 20-30 for working the equipment.

Can't say I disagree with much in this post.  I wouldn't say trade school is better than higher Ed but I wouldn't say higher Ed is better than trade school...  Although i think that's probably what you were getting st by qualifying it by saying "to an extent."  The truth about the student debt crisis is it isn't so much because higher Ed is too expensive but rather because it isn't the necessarily the investment  it's sold to be... 

I saw a very frustrating ad for a for profit school that quoted a statistic that since 1950 those that get a bachelors degree make some amount (I think it was like a million dollars) more over their lifetime than those who don't... The statistic is meaningless because where you have longitudinal data (the 50s, 60s, and 70s) about lifetime earnings getting a college degree was something done disproportionally more by wealthy people.  Really, is it surprising that people who are born to wealthy families make more over their lifetime than those who are not?  You could easily say that children who do equestrian, rowing, polo, or wear sweater vests make more over their lifetime than those who don't....  Unfortunately the statistic about lifetime earnings and college degrees is as much a that a degree leads to class mobility as it is that America is not quite the meritocracy we wish it was...

I went to higher education for almost 10 years and while it helped me find a career far better than what I would have without it, I fully admit that I was very lucky - a college degree as a means to economic success is not for everyone...  We either have to have the people wake up to this or if we are going to push the utility of a college degree as more than just a tool for personal edification (which some may believe useful or necessary in its own right) we have to make it free or affordable like high school is...  Getting a college degree has become such a cultural achievement that maybe we can essentially merge trade school and college to an extent... Forgive loan debt and allow everyone to attend college and take a few liberal arts courses - but also offer real trade options to upper classmen so they can graduate with a marketable skill along with knowledge about western civilization - after all not every classics major can be a classics professor...

Bfast was about a 50 gram brotein shakes.

Lunch: 2 rice cakes, 4 scrambled eggs, 1 steak.

Later:  some bars and 1/2lb of salami

By the end of the day I'll have roughly 2300 calories.  So I will take in another protein shake which will put me over 200 grams for the day, 110 carbs and about 130 grams of fat.

From the looks of it I will be doing noon-8 for my current job soon and I'm hoping if I get the post office job I can do a 7-10(but get paid until 11) and then just head right to work..I even have a sweet 83 right hand drive jeep picked out lol

Well in the middle of the night I got a cramp in my calf and it's still fucked up, picking up bananas for work.

Friday will be back and bis and saturday shoulders

New Goal is to build muscle, focusing on losing weight probably isnt helping too much but if I try to get my mind on building muscle in a more healthy way it might put my mind in a better place.  When I was super into the Animal videos(frank mcgrath and Erik Fankhouser etc etc) I didnt try to lose weight but just build muscle and i got fairly lean.  I also am going to pick up a stairmaster if its still available in a few weeks, same model as the one at my old gym and its badass.

And there are already predators abusing the tranny laws, one sexually assaulting women and another man with board shorts on and didnt look like a "woman" at all went into the womens locker room and decided to change. 

Is it fair to say that if a man does it with a tranny who got the surgery then he is still gay?  His vajayjay is still just a mutilated dick so its still sword on sword action and you cant fully transition into another gender, it's impossible.


Why do Republicans always take out the most perverted ideas and apply them to everybody like that's a thing?

For all we know, law or no law, people would do that anyway. Do you KNOW for sure that some transsexual wasn't next to you in the bathroom jerking off to your farts? What about a gay guy that you can never know he was gay. I mean, he's a man, he's in the bathroom with you. See? I can go there really quickly. You don't know that, don't you?

Don't you see how idiotic this is? Nobody wants to say "heeeeey I'm a transsexualllllll I want to be in a bathroom with wooomeeeeen" - they've been made fun of their entire lives, they don't need that. They just want to use a bathroom like any other human being. That's all. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Nobody that's heterosexual wants to get ridiculed in public for trying to get into the women's bathroom by pretending he's a t-girl.

And, by the way, going in a women's bathroom because you identify with the female gender doesn't mean you go there and jerk off, like all these crazy Republicans imagine. It doesn't mean you go there to abuse women. There are already laws in place for this, like they've always been. Any abuse is an abuse just like in the past.

bfast

Lunch was water, chicken and banana

8931 steps at 4.66 miles
my walk about just now put on about 5k steps and I have 3 more that will probably be around eh id stay 3k each

steps after 2nd round: 10579 so my mini rounds are almost a mile long and should have about 14k by the end of the night

I am feeling drained and kind of hungry but I guess I probably should have felt like this for awhile instead of eating like a pig and going to just lift and then do nothing afterwards.

Had a cheat meal of a burger and fries, not bk or any fast food.  I basically started feeling extremely tired yesterday and wasn't recovering very well so I figured I'd take in extra carbs to get me going. 

Going to relax and compex and hopefully I'm home when my new running shoes and watch get here.

Brooks Ghost 8, they got really good reviews for medium to high arch feet and they were on sale. I wanted the Asics Cumulus but in my size they only had like extra wide or something for a shitty color combination.  They look funky and I picked them cuz i thought of a tiger when I saw them so i was like fuck it I want to run like a tiger and shit lol.  So I just looked up mine and mine doesnt have the red in it or the stripes along the bottom and the symbol in the middle is gray.

The watch is just some ironman watch, it was like 40 bucks on amazon.

People say the band is bad on it but i dont plan on using it for years to come, if I want to get serious with it id get an expensive one.  I just dont want to keep running with my phone on my arm which that armband doesnt really even fit my arm.

I actually feel pretty good today, sore but I feel a lot more awake than I did yesterday after the mini cheat meals.

Last night i had the burger which was small and half of the fries

This morning
Other half of fries
2 rice cakes
3 eggs
bite size piece of a brownie thing

Protein shake

CHicken, about 7 ounces or more
small bite size of brownie thing
    -Almost puked trying to eat the chicken lately idk just sick of eating.

tonight is just turkey slices and water..oh yeah had 2 pears today also.

the brownie things might sound bad etc etc ik ik but normally id be able to polish off more than just a few bite size pieces truuuust me haha  It has helped me with stopping the cravings and I will again go on back to doing the low carb high fat high protein strict diet until Im just way too tired to where performance is reduced.

It is super sore right at the tip and on the outside of my hamstring(to the left) I think its my biceps femoris.

A guy at work who does marathons and shit gave me a program for the week.

4x400 with 400 slow jogging between working sets
4x200 with 200 slow jogging between working sets
30 minutes bike ride

I'm about to do the bike but I figured I'd log my times

400s: 2:02, 2:04, 2:05, 1:50
200s:  :59, 1:02, 1:05, 1:06

I didn't jog all of the rest jogs, I had to walk some because of the direction I have to go on the track it's making my right hip fl3xor feel on fire and my calves are burning.

Still with half as many rest periods my times are better than when I did it with 4 laps of walking.

I did 30 minutes on the bike and averaged 18mph and wasnt even aware of it, I thought I was only doing 16mph and it felt easier so thats a good sign I suppose.

The shoes worked good, felt a lot better than my old ones but they are narrower in the toes than my old ones which fucked with my big toe thats already wrekt but i toughed it out.

I am roughly down another pound also and I am on track for about a 1lb per day weight loss which is unrealistic ik other factors come into play but ive been drinking the same amount of water and i cut out eating my food at 8pm at work and I dont eat again until after my workout.

I'm kind of becoming a running junky again and probably should cut back weights and get into bw stuff more with running.  I think weights killed my running desire last time with leg days.

Tomorrow I believe I had a 30 minute "easy" jog with 15 minutes on the bike which i cannot do because the gym is closed on sundays soooo I wil try to go to the track at the school and do my jog and think of something for the bike.....hmmmm maybe i can see if we have a bike rack that fits my car and go to the trail.

Anyway im on the shitter now and I will re edit my post when im done and add in the whole plan for the week.

 :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

Monday:
10 minute warm up jog
4x400 2:00 pace/400 recovery
4x200 1:00 pace/200 recovery
30 minute bike ride

Tuesday:
30 minute Run
15 minute bike ride

Wednesday:
30 minute bike ride

Thursday:
30 minute run
15 minute bike ride

Friday:
10 minute run
5x running up hill at race pace
5x running down hill at race pace
10 minute cool down running

Saturday: 30 minute bike ride

Sunday: active recovery and stretching.

Well looking at it, it seems like a good long term program but for my short term goals I'm going to have to push the envelope.  The bird is the word that it takes 2 weeks for cardio training to kick in(probably broscience maybe idk) so that means I will have to push it a lot harder.  I will use this as a base and have sundays be test days, and wednesday add in sprints.

The Ironman watch is pretty good, i mean i finally figured out how to use the stop watch on it and thats all i need to do haha.  It's a lot more convenient than having to use my phone.

1 6" same thing(buy 1 sub get a 6" bfast sub for free before 9am)
protein shake
6oz or more of chicken
1 serving of rice umm air crispy chip things idk, 19g carbs each servings

probably have a protein shake later on.

 :ibrunning:

-8lbs

10 minute jog
4x400 with 400 recovery
I realized that I needed to go and extra straight to meet the 400m distance so I had to pick up the pace.  First one was 2min and got shittier
4x200 with 200 recovery
10 mins bike ride
   - I only went 10 mins cuz my foot feels fucked up.

I asked the guy at work how he walks the rounds and figured it out so I can go back to walking all of them. Which will be like 4 miles or 5 miles total.

3 eggs(too much seasoning blah)
1 rice cake
1 banana
1 bfast burrito

will calculate calories right now

647 calories
69 grams of carbs
27.3 grams of fat
32 grams of protein

I may do 1 more Bananer later in the day to regain some energy.  For lunch it will be chicken and ill see what veggies i have and a protein shake, for the rest of the day will be peanuts, turkey and water.

After inputing everything that I will eat, my macros turn out to be
138g carbs
67.6 grams of fat
172grams of protein

So now that I know that I will take away the bananer at night and throw in 1 more serving of peanuts at night with a protein shake now and another one at lunch which brings it up to 234 grams of protein, 88 grams of fat and 133.6 grams of carbs.

So that looks fairly good, tomorrow I wont go with the bfast burrito and it will even out to about 100 grams of carbs which was my mistake. 

I'm looking at about 2300 calories per day that I've been doing which is at least 1200 calories per day less than what I was doing. 

16,100 per week
vs
24,500 per week
 deficit of 8400
which is about 2.5lbs with diet alone, along with the running

realistically I am looking at about 4k calories per day of eating before this on the low side so thats about a 3.4lb difference which makes sense.

2112 steps is 1 mile so total steps for the day so far is

Round 2 was 2155 steps for a tad bit over a mile

Also with the 8lbs or so loss I've noticed my sides and gut are a little bit trimmer.

During my runs I treated the small track like a big one where I sped up during the straights and slowed down on the corners to try and get some rest.  It worked well and those were my fastest times but i still get whooped and start to hunch over and forget about staying upright.  I cant wait to get my back massaged on friday, it should help me out quite a bit with breathing at least considering how tight it is.

This time around I want to stick to this kind of program, just after the test if i pass or if i pass the retake then I want to do the original plan I posted earlier from the guy I work with and add in maybe 3 days of lifting(push pull squat)
Title: Re: Operation Save 2 dollars on Clothes at Walmart
Post by: John Stamos on May 24, 2016, 09:46:12 am
30 min  :ibrunning:
Stick a fork in me I'm done.  My shirt n hoodie were pulling against my neck towards the end and I almost puked.

I was roughly 15 seconds slower on the last 15 mins than the first.  I finally got my ass into gear and ran the trail which is a lot better than the track and my goal by August is to run the whole thing (15 miles roughly)

Just ate 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg and 1 banana along with a coffee(16oz) and a monster non carbonated tea.

Soaking my feet but I like my shoes so far, my foot is fucked up but I don't feel it when I am running.

I think I did about 2.5 miles but I wasn't focusing so much on distance, instead I was focusing on keeping upright and working on different ways to breathe(which was hard because my nose is stuffed) also making sure my feet are pointed forward and that I am not shrugging and my arms are moving forward and back and not across my body.

I am down about another 1/2 pound also.

what else umm on this run my hammy got a little sore in the beginning but disappeared and really my legs stayed pretty good with no soreness so the running and biking are definitely helping.  I highly doubt I will pass the test next week but when I do the retake, i have 2 weeks to submit the paperwork for it which should give me enough time to drop idk id say 20lbs or 25lbs total.  If I know that I wont pass the running, I will just do the sit ups if they are all first and just break my hands(hands have to be locked in behind the head) and then just focus on running for another 2 weeks.

I am going to have to figure out how to work in weight training after this but keeping cardio as my main priority and when I am at a bw that I want to be at then I will rework everything.

Lunch: 2.5 servings of peanut butter
CHicken(maybe 4oz): It got to the point where i was just chewing and chewing and couldnt really swallow, idk im sick of chicken and its just gross to me now.
Protein shake: gotta get this down but I definitely think that my stomach has shrunk, I get cravings at the store and when i get home but I've been fairly good and just avoiding them and avoiding eating late at night after work.

Tonight will be turkey deli meat, peanuts and water

you need special (non friction) socks.. they have ones that'll do the jobs @ Dicks, got my first pair there. They helped IMMEDIATELY. Best ones i've gotten so far though were from New Balance, which reminds me I need to get another pair.

for example, that walk where I set multiple pr's etc.. my toes were on fire at the end. I used socks I used to dunk in, dri-fit jordan crew socks.. toes were on the verge of getting destroyed. Last few walks i've used my proper running socks (my NB socks) and my toes are fine.

non-friction is the key.. get some ASAP! I would have never destroyed my toenails if I had been wearing those from the start.

pc!


I forget which ones I have (low cut, no-show hydrotech i think), but I got them from here: http://www.newbalance.com/men/accessories/socks-1/
- they were ~12.99 for one pair.. but 100% worth it.

Tomorrow if my legs are fine then I will be doing a 1.5 mile run or a 12:30 run.  Pretty much I will throw my gps on and start my watch and just stop when I get to 12:30 and just see where I am at so I can try to go balls out.

I will try to start out nice and easy but faster than my jog today and every 2 minutes I will speed up until I feel like I cant speed up anymore, keep that pace and the last 2 minutes I will try to just go until I puke.



Steps for the day: 15465, so probably 16k plus by the end of today.  Says it is equal to 10.32 miles and claims I burned 2003 calories today which idk maybe, last time i was checked with a machine back in my skinny days i burned about 2350 calories while resting so there is a good chance I burned over 2003 calories for the day.(especially with the running)

Post by: John Stamos on May 25, 2016, 10:37:15 am
I decided to just haul ass there n get it over with.

Pretty much sucked, my compression shirt was pulling against my neck making my gag, my throat feels like I have a lot of mucous in it and pretty much made it hard to breathe from the start.  I went to a fast walking pace 3 times so yeah I hope I fucking feel better soon.  Without this and being able to breathe good I feel like I can get there or very close.

Anyway for my piss poor 12:30 run = 1.22 miles.
When I did my first one I was probably 1.5 minutes slower in the mile so I am improving just not as fast as I'd like.

Edit:  for the walking portions say I was at a 2.5-3mph pace for I'd say 20 seconds the first time, 15 the second and almost 30 for the last one.

I think I kept a 6mph pace or so and with over a minute of walking at half speed while feeling shitty probably would have put me an extra .1 or so.  Anyway I'm going to take a ton of drugs today and try it again tomorrow, this time sleeping in like 4 blankets.

Thanks, I got the job.  It was for a sub carrier job for the post office, basically just working saturdays and days during the week for call ins but itll be extra play money and 1 day will pay for my health insurance for the month.

Plus its a short route that pays for 4 hours but she said once i get used to it, I'll only be there for about 2.5 hours so thats good haha.

I gotta stop at the store on the way to work to pick up dayquil and some other shit to hopefully suppress this cold so tomorrow I can get a decent run in to see where I am actually at.

Honestly when I did my ECA stack which was amazing, i had Bronkaid which helped with breathing but also had ephedrine  which is why i bought it but yeah that shit cleared everything up.

On my run I was about idk quarter of a mile or so from the first road that cuts through the trail so my goal for tomorrow is to get to that road by 6mins turn around and go back, if I can then I will be in a better position.

Tomorrows run(looking on livestrong.com)
1.5 mile test(12:30 check but will continue to go to 1.5 miles regardless)
walk back
Run again for 30 minutes (15 down 15 back)

Hit up the gym
Bike
push ups(a lot)
sit ups(a lot)
Stretching

I just got a letter of interest for tompkins county for corrections so I guess its a good back up, everyone wants me!

As far as walking goes today, there are still a few people out that I have to wait for to leave so I can do my rounds so I probably wont get in as much tonight as I normally do.  Shit is getting irritating AF

Second, they are more than capable of going to the fucking turnstyle and badging someone in but no they are lazy fucks.

Lol its just a letter of interest for another county for corrections.

I've dropped probably 300 dollars or more over the years taking civil service tests so they pop up all over the place.

Right now I will be doing this POS job I'm at now mon-fri and the post office job is on saturdays and during the week in the morning if someone calls in or goes on vacation.

If I pass this fitness test or the retake if I have to then yeah I will be dropping these 2 jobs like it's hot.

I am up to 8500 steps today, I guess today is a rest day because I am just sick of this shit so I'll be using the truck for the other rounds.  Maybe I will take 15 minutes or so to do some stair work.

When I said sick of this shit,  I didn't mean the cardio and active recovery, I meant that everyone acts like helpless people who can't venture out beyond their job to do simple tasks when they know I'm not going to be around.

My performance is dropping so I am going to check the scale and see where I'm at and probably do a 3k calorie day to help recover and possibly just bike tomorrow.

I did .85 in 8 minutes but almost instantly I felt like I had been running for an hour.  Felt cold with sharp pain spots all over me and of course couldn't breathe again.

My pacing is terrible and my fastest one was a 6:45 mile pace and I don't need that

I'm up in weight?-!?!?!?!
I'll get the official number after my workout but seriously wtf

ummm jk? :D I'm the same weight, I didnt realize that my hoodie and all that weighed so much.

So my workout

.85 miles in 8 minutes blah
jog back for 5 minutes, walk back for the rest of the way.
bikex10 minutes at 18-20 mph
treadmill work to get used to the pace which feels faster than running on the ground.
.2 mile sprintsx7.5mph/7.7/7.9/8.1/8.5
The 8.5 felt like it as pretty much the fastest I would go without giving up.
The rest periods were short, basically I would just start it like .52-.72 then id walk until .8 and speed it up and hop on when it got to speed.

I felt drained after that so ima eat my food and watch some Archer and supernatural and do some push ups and sit ups before I gotta shower for work.

My food today well I will be fasting for tonight because I forgot to get food for work but I will eat when I get home or I will eat early tomorrow.

Anyway I have a bfast burrito and a bowl of fruit and I will probably cook up some eggs and eat some rice cake snacks.

Ate way too much fruit ugh but my food for the day is

1 bar of quaker chocolate chip chewy whatever pre-run
Bowl of fruit(grapes, pineapple and strawberry)

Now I am eating maybe 2oz or so of bacon and a 2-3oz piece of chicken.

Afterwards I will have a protein shake and before I leave for work  iwill have another protein shake.

Found a new way to eat my chicken.  I chomp on it until it is little itty bitty pieces, then I take water and swish it around and just drink it lol.  Idk why but i get to a point where i just cant eat the damn chicken


Steps for the day minus the 1.8 miles on the treadmill for my runs/walk
6846
I just did a short patrol because the main woman person here idk what her title is so no I'm not sexist, I just know we answer to her, is out and about with people and I have to be here to let them out and I cant go pissing her off if Im not here to do that.

with my added cardio id say im around 10k steps so far.


I also started measuring my resting heart rate

On the 24th just relaxing i was around 75bpm
today
Just relaxing I am at 64bpm

I guess that might be a good sign? haha

Assuming this doesn't take forever and a half to do.
I will try to hit up the trail for another 8 minute run and see if I can pace better this time.  See if I can at least get it to a 9 minute mile pace, its not much but it's definitely something.

Massage at 10

Also I wanted to foam roll after and hit up some tabata for push ups and sit ups

I also started measuring my resting heart rate

On the 24th just relaxing i was around 75bpm
today
Just relaxing I am at 64bpm

I guess that might be a good sign? haha

ya man.. definitely. F RHR's over 60. if you stay fairly consistent with running you should be able to get it into the 50's.

if you've consistently dropped 11 BPM, you've just saved yourself:

Daily> 11 * 60 * 24
15840

Yearly> 11 * 60 * 24 * 365
5781600

dat 5 mily.

lulz.

 :wowthatwasnutswtf: That's whats up

Steps so far
9671 minus the run on the dreadmill so around 129671 total

A day on Venus lasts longer than a year on Venus.... :motherofgod:

11446 steps so total is 14446.

Also, I need to punch a new hole in my belt because I'm getting too skinny for this shit :headbang:

I just ate some french onion soup from panera and well not bad

I lied, my split wasn't a 10 something mile, it was a 10 something cuz i let the time go once I stopped and didn't end the workout right away, it's telling me that my .85 pace was 9:38.

Thanks, my weight isn't moving anymore so I figured maybe i have to just up the calories a bit so I got 2 subs from subway.

Deluxe steak and cheese
Deluxe oven roasted chicken

I got my physical and I'm good to go and I got my massage, I need a few more to be good though.

I got 15 minutes on the bike for 18-22mph

Busy busy morning, i just gotta hit it hard tomorrow and walk as much as i can today.

i've cut out ice cream (for the most part) and removed grains (couscous) from my stir fry meals.. kind of had to though because i'd start packing on the weight since i'm not doing as much volume running anymore.. feels great so far though. I'd still like to see if I could get into the low 140's. :ninja:

walking definitely helps. straight up fat burn session without any CNS fatigue.

True that, it's storming so I'll see how much I can do but I'm splurging with 2 subs from subway today which is probably 1000 and 1200 calories or more each.  I got deluxe and she kinda loaded the sauce haha.  Hopefully it will Kickstart my metabolism again.  I'm definitely sweating easier now.

My massage helped, I don't feel a tightness in my back when I take deep breaths.  Gotta walk in so will add more to this in a bit

She really hit a few of the knots in my back but idt they fully came  undone so I will have to go back a few more times but I do feel better and I smell like an expensive whore with the scented lotions. 

My workout will probably be gym based tomorrow considering the trail will be wet as fuck and the skeeters are going to be out in full force.

I kind of want to put it on a 8 min mile pace and just see how long I can go.


Also, the running is in 12:38 which drops my speed from 7.5 mph to about 7mph which on the treadmill feels quite a bit easier so I am happy I double checked that.

I'm sure I will be ready for my retake, i just gotta handle the embarrassment of failing the first time without crying.

yeah I havent had any ice cream in a few weeks and even that was just a few small scoops.  I really dont have any cravings right now and with the subs, i wasnt craving them, I figured theyd be better than mcdonalds so I am trying to make better decisions haha

Zika run in a bit, just going to jog, no specific time or distance just jog on the trail with mosquitoes all over.

Depending on this run, itll let me know if I am even close to having the cardio to do the test and basically, I am not confident.

If I decide to pull out after this run then I will be making up a new workout program where Running and BW movements come first and weights might be 3x a week(push pull skwaat)

I should be getting the results back for my corrections test for the same county and 2 others in maybe a week or two and the county I live in still has a somewhat "challenging" for my size of a fitness test.  So instead of being behind and trying to get ready in two weeks, I will hopefully be ahead already by say 2 months.  Hopefully by the time I get picked for one of these jobs I will be down about 30lbs and easily running the 1.5 mile is 11s.

I ran for about 20 minutes or so at a really slow jog and still was breathing hard.  I really don't think that I am going to do the test, even with 2 extra weeks idt I can get there tbh, also, thinking about a 26 week academy sounds horrible lol 

I am expecting to hear from the counties around june 9th and I will be prepared.  The one in Syracuse doesnt have a fitness test for it which thank god lol but they also have a fat group and a fast group for the academy and granted you get paid the same to be in either, I dont want to be in the fat group.

Monday:
10 minute warm up jog
4x400 2:00 pace/400 recovery
4x200 1:00 pace/200 recovery
30 minute bike ride

Tuesday:
30 minute Run
15 minute bike ride
Push

Wednesday:
30 minute bike ride
Pull

Thursday:
30 minute run
15 minute bike ride

Friday:
10 minute run
5x running up hill at race pace
5x running down hill at race pace
10 minute cool down running

Saturday: 30 minute bike ride
Skwaat

Sunday: active recovery and stretching.

On the 30 minute runs I will try to set a goal distance to hit and keep increasing once I hit each goal.
Next week My goals will be 2.5 miles
If I hit 2.5 on Tuesday then on Thursday I may go for 2.8 miles etc etc.

I got my running socks, a bit bright for my liking but they are comfortable, my feet didnt sweat and it felt good with my blisters.

In a wee bit Ima watch some pornhub, rehydrate and go for a 2 mile run.

Ate a quaker bar today and x2 bfast burritos

My run today
Bench up to 300x3(easy)

2 mile run(I will check the distance with my car later)x 19min32seconds
From my house to halfway or a little less than halfway is a steady incline, noticeable but barely then straightens out with some small hills and the last 200m or so is downhill.

All n all it felt good, I immediately started to breathe heavy but I kept composure and pushed through it.

Will go later to run again at the park when it cools down, probably high 80s right now.

Ate almost 1lb of bottom round steak which is about 100g protein and 15 grams of fat at most but mine was super lean.

Movie Review

13 hours

10/5 stars

I generally hate Michael bay movies(mainly just transformers) but he did a good job on this one.  Nothing over the top just a breakdown of what happened. 

I'm not going to get into it too much because it will probably start a war so if you're interested in it then I'd recommend watching it.
Title: Re: Operation Save 2 dollars on Clothes at Walmart

Pre run I am down 10lbs= 290

1.5 mile run: 14:28 compared to my last one that was a little under 1.5 so I went a little further to make it an actual 1.5 and it was 14:37. 

Mistakes

I didn't hydrate enough beforehand and I used my first lap as a warm up which I should've done before and kept my second and third lap pace the same as my first.  It probadly only would have saved me half a minute or so though.

Looking at the results it seems reasonable if I fail and take the retake 2 weeks later I should be able to barely get it considering I shaved 2 mins off in 1 week 5 days.  Idk though

Post workout weight which I normally do is 289.2

4 eggs this morning, tried to eat my cube steak from yesterday but gross and too tough.

Protein shake too along with some carbs later.  I also bought 1lb of turkey for later tonight. I'll try not to eat when I get home.

30 min walk this morning and probably 5 miles today at work.

Not doing the test, will be a waste of time.  Instead I will be working towards the next set of jobs to come up.  Granted their fitness tests aren't hard, I still want to treat them like they are so I stick with running. 

The program I put up will start tomorrow considering the gym is closed today.

For the weightlifting portion, I will try to do say 2 for each body part.
Ex.
Push day
OH bb press
Side db raises
Flat bench
DB flyes
DB triceps
Push downs

Forgot the protein shake

1xsmall brownie(square made by a average size spatula)
2x Chicken halves(small ones) with cornell sauce
a cup maybe a little more of some noodle salad stuff.
    -This was my cheat meal for awhile
Later on I will eat maybe half pound of turkey that I bought, maybe less because I get full pretty quick now.

Tomorrow morning

10 minute warm up jog
4x400 2:00 pace/400 recovery
4x200 1:00 pace/200 recovery
30 minute bike ride

The larger track that I will be on(.29) maybe I will add 10-20 seconds onto the time.

Probably low to mid 11k for steps today so around 5.5 miles or so.  I will also on my warm up walking laps tomorrow try to cut into the grass to see if i can cut enough corners to make it .25 per lap.

Warm upx10 mins at 5mph
4x400 with 400 recovery at 7.1mph
    -  I strung the first 2 together then after that I walked for .15 and jogget the last .1 into the next.  This sucked but it could've been worse and has felt worse.  I think I was a bitch with the recovery.
4x200
      - I felt tired by this and I tied my shoes too tight.  I walked yet again for the recovery portion because I felt sick.  Last one I did it at 9mph and the first 3 were 7.1

On the bike now for 30 mins then watching my shows

In a few weeks I plan on buying a bike so I can stay outside instead of having to go for a long run outside, drive to the gym and hop on the bike inside.

Haha I meant I'd go to the trail and do my 30 minute runs, go back to my car get on my bike and go back out onto the trail so I don't have to go to the gym right after and get on a shitty stationary.

What I've eaten today

1 protein shake
2 eggs
1 steak about .5lbs with bbq sauce
I have 1lb of turkey in my lunch cooler so i will probably eat about 1/2lb of that.

My stomach has just shrunk like a mofo, eating meals that would be considered snacks to what I used to eat just fill me up hardcore now.

That is only 1400 calories for the day, say 1500 with my coffee...i had a banana too so about 1611.

So I will be at around 1800-1900 if i eat the full lb of turkey and I guess I will do that if I can, eating kind of just sucks right now.

my macros for the day if i eat the lb of turkey is

C:113.7
F:49.4
P:196.1

I dont like the fat, i should have at least 40 more grams of fat so maybe when I get home I will have a few servings of Pnut Butter.

Very good chance why I feel like poooooop today.

Also I am taking progress pics every 10lbs or so...I just wish that my S6 didn't take such clear pics hahaha

But eventually when I get down to where I want to be I will do something with them.

30 min run: 2.4 miles
15 min mark: 1.25
- felt super amazing, kept a faster than normal pavery and didn't feel tired at all, wasn't breathing hard, just towards the end my calf was on fire.  Zip


286.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  -13.2lbs

Bench: 225x3x5
Flyes: 40x3x15
DB OH pressx40x3x20
DB Side raisex a bunch
Triceps

On the bike now and will log more when I get home.

Idk where the zip came from but I am keeping it.

So the run through the trail, the second road that cuts through it I believe is about 1.5 miles so next week I want to be able to hit that by the 15 minute mark on my 30 minute jog.  I probably could have today but I wasnt expecting to lose 3lbs so quickly and have the run be so easy so I held back my pacing. 

As far as the weight it could have easily been from some lack of water weight or something but I didnt sweat much and I didnt feel dehydrated tbh but now I am putting in lifting 3x a week it will be nice to see if my loss of weight was due somewhat to muscle or not.  What I plan on doing for my weight training as you can see is just maintenance, hopefully just keep what I am have now and build on it later. 

I'm about to eat a steak, for lunch I have a salad and for tonight and probably 1/2lb of salami.  If I didnt have the salad then i would have eaten the full pound because it fits my macros better with 99 grams of protein, 11 grams of carbs and 118grams of fats.  THats one thing that I have been lacking lately is getting my fats up and thats why later in the day I feel so dead so my walks at work tend to be sluggish.

Once I remember to sign up, I will probably be registering for this race.

It looks challenging but with 2 months of training like I am now, just with swimming thrown in, I think I can do it.

I have to time myself and be able to do the .45 mile swim and the 13 mile bike ride between 8:05am-10am other wise they kind of kick you out or something for being too slow.

Looking for
Goal weight by August 7th I think it is: 250/255
25 minute swim time
52 minute bike
30 minute run

What I will shoot for
15 minute swim
50 minute bike ride
23 minute 5k
It will probably put me in the top 100


I am 3 weeks into training for just running and I believe that if I pushed myself for the 30 minute run today, I could have gotten close to or gotten the 3 miles in 30 minutes.  The bike ride shouldn't be too hard depending on how well conditioned i get for swimming.  I am not too far from where the race is going to be held and I can always go to the beach to swim and train or go swimming at the gym I go to. 

Tomorrows workout

RDL BB
DB RDL
lat pulldown
biceps
30 minute bike ride: Aiming for 10 miles

Thank you sir  :lololol:  I'm trying haha and that face even though the thing says lolololol it just looks fancy.

Anyway I forgot another update, I got a call from another post office that hired someone for a pse(clerk) position but they didnt show up to training so I got a call to go in for an interview.  With this one I will be able to work less hours but with the raise in pay it will almost even out(might be off by like 40 bucks or so before taxes).  So with that said, I can have more time to focus on this and I will be a federal employee so benefits and shit are better and I'LL GET TO QUIT SECURITY!!!!!!!!

Of course I am still going to take corrections but hey whatevs they dont need to know that for now lol

I believe they are about 4.25 hour shifts 6days a week but with that position I guess I can apply for a PTF or something position which is the same but different, how...idk but they are around 20hr so I'll see.


I'm trying to see how far away the 2nd road is that cuts through the trail by google maps and theres a big curve in the roads that go by it so its definitely showing its further than the trail but not sure by how much.  On thursday I should just try to get there by 15 minutes to see the actual distance.  but judging from the distance its probably 1.4-1.5 miles so that will be a good marker for me.

Just woke up
Heart rate: 53bpm  :personal-record: haha

I'm really not feeling it, it was warm last night so it took me awhile to fall asleep and I'm just exhausted.  Plus I have to go in for an 11-11 today so if I do go in I gotta make it fast

RDL: 225x3x10
Lat pulldownsx a lot
30 min bike ride:9.5 miles  went between 18mph for my low and 26mph for my high :personal-record:

weight was up due to water but my gut and tits are shrinking

This may sound weird but does anyone keep a limp wrist lol while they run like a t-rex?  For some reason it helps keep my shoulders relaxed and keeps me from moving side to side.

i imagine that means lettings your hands flop around? if so, i don't.

my wrists/hands are loose but they maintain a position.

from what i've seen of pros, alot of them use relaxed sprinter hands, ie, thumb on forefinger:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-y4RxtDWRI

^^ looks like both of them are using it there.. if they go for an all out sprint to close out, they'll blade their hands (open them up/extend fingers).

actually a good analogy:

Quote
Hands
Do not clench the fists or let the hands flop at the wrist. Have your sprinter loosely curl the fingers with the thumbs resting lightly on the index fingers. Keep the thumb and index finger contact light. So light in fact that the sprinter should be able to carry a potato chip between them and not break it.

I see it, thanks.  It just feel like if i do a closed fist and not even having a tight grip I still tend to tense up in the upper body but  I will give it a shot tomorrow.

I've been doing some research and I realized that the running/bike workouts are considered brick workouts which means you run for the 30 minutes then immediately get into a 15 minute bike ride or you do that for the race distance etc etc.  So yeah I need to go to a bike store and get a road bike here pretty soon.

I will see how much I can walk today, it is storming out but the rain has stopped for now.  If it rains again then I have to use the truck because I cant get the radios and what not wet.

I'm so happy....
In fact, more than 20 studies now support the benefits of low-fat chocolate milk’s high-quality natural protein and other nutrients for recovery after a tough workout. Plus, it’s one of the easiest ways to help ensure your body gets what it needs to return your exhausted muscles to peak potential day after day. All of which means you’ll rebound more quickly, avoid burnout, and be ready to advance your training plan to the next level on schedule.

Failed run

Definitely too low of calories yesterday=I believe around 17300 calories
Right off the bat I doubted myself, breathing heavy right off the bat
At about 10 mins I felt decent but I tried too hard to get to 1.5 miles (during just a 30 min easy jog) which was just blah but I hit 1.47 miles which is a PR on a easy jog but doesnt count in my book.  On the way back i just hit a wall and my body shut down.
Just no energy at all so I'm going to eat when I get off the trail and just relax.

2x BFast Burritos
Protein shake soon
chewy bar
coffee(I gotta cut out the coffee altogether or cut out the creamer)

Later i will check out my macros and eat more peanuts and 1lb of turkey.

if only we could ignore those thoughts in our head, on demand.

from my experience, the more I think about a potential run, the higher the chance that i'll break down mentally. don't get discouraged with any of the 'self doubt' thoughts, everyone gets them.. I don't think they ever really go away tbh... the thing that makes it sweet is finally achieving some goal in the midst of training where your brain is constantly telling you to stop. Your brain just wants you to stop & get on the couch and eat funyuns. our brains are weak bichez.

as for the negative thoughts.. no matter what pace i'm running, they always happen when I START running.. ie the first minute or so. After that, if i'm not pushing myself to the extreme, they start to go away. If i'm pushing myself to the max, they are there for most of the run.. so I think your brain telling you to stop when you first start running, is pretty normal.

some elite ultra-marathonner, navy seal guy once said something interesting.. on an ultra run, he just keeps telling himself stuff like: "just run 10 more feet hard" .. then when he runs those 10 feet, he says it again.. and again.. and again.. lmao.

Alrighthe thanks, will do at work.

Since my running game is fairly decent right now for my size and on a good day like Monday a 30 min was easy, do you think I should increase my run by 10 mins for my easy jog days to get more volume?  I feel like breathing wise it sucks but I can deal with it but my legs and everything just kind of give out after awhile on a 1.5 mile run.  I figured if I slowly increased the time running then my legs will be better conditioned for the sprints.  RunNing 3.5 miles for a 40 min run instead of 2.5.

On my next 30 min jog I may increase it to 40 to see how I do.  I also need to take more time to warm up.  Maybe do a 5 min jog down the trail and back considering that's when I feel the worst.

ya at your level, you need to get more comfortable just running "longer". Eventually, it should be something you can just "do" if you want to (adjusting pace as necessary). So right now it's like you're trying to be able to perform a 10 REP squat and all you can perform are 5 REP squats, which is hilarious when you think about it.. the mind/lungs/heart/mitochondria etc aren't strong enough yet to allow you to run 'forever'. Improving that will definitely improve your shorter run/sprint speed.

also ya, warming up good is important, though i've neglected it myself.. bleh we all neglect important things.. but one of the most important things warming up does, is help with those initial negative thoughts. ;f when you go from basically cold -> running, ya your brain doesn't like that.

edit: also check my sig.. i'm on a few running sites now and those can give you some good data. I think with strava you can use your phone. I just signed up for that one recently, it's pretty popular. I have it integrate with my garmin connect since I don't run with a phone. If you sign up, lmk.

pc!

Alright thanks, I'll sign up when I walk into work.

What I'll try to do is go to 40 mins and do 40s until I have a few comfortable run where I feel like it's too easy then I'll bump it up another 10 mins.

I might just say screw it and buy a cheap mountain bike from Walmart tomorrow.  I keep looking at these road bikes and I can't decide so I'll get a mountain bike to ride the trail right after my run.

These gps programs and what not take a lot of data so I had to switch to the 10 gig plan haha oh well.  My plan tomorrow is supposed to be hills and stuff but I might hold off on them until I am leaner to help save my joints

I signed up and created my first Route which is just the trail that I usually run on lol

But with the extra 10 minutes added to my time, I can get to the second road and back and it is 3.3 miles so not too bad.

I was going to buy a bike but none of the pictures or prices matched up with the bikes on the racks so I said fuck it.  I also probably need a new muffler so that will come first.

Will go running later today

Post by: John Stamos on June 05, 2016, 06:12:52 pm
Yeah haha I'll be getting a gel padded seat and biking underwear for them.

This week will be a wake up week, tomorrow I will do the same workout just not at 7.1, I want to be able to string them all together so I figured it'd be more beneficial to lower the speed so I'm not forced to walk.

Today I only walked 30 minutes, rained hard last night and today.

Tonight or so on strava I'm going to map out a workout that I eventually want to do.

Bike ride on the trail to the beachx12.6 miles
Run 3 miles
Swimx25 minutes.

So yeah triathlon it up.  I'll get the exact measurement for the bike ride in a bit
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 06, 2016, 08:49:17 am
4x400
400 onx6mph
400 offx4.6
Strung them all together
Did 1 200m, my calf is so fucked that I didn't want to risk an injury so I'll do 20 mins on the bike instead of 15 :ibcycling:

So I did a quick walk to .2 then a 10 min jog at 5mph which got me to about .8 or so
thats 1 mile right there

So altogether I did 3.1 miles and it felt pretty good, the 10 min warm up really helped out a lot which is what I have to start doing.

My credit card info was hijacked so they blocked my card aaand hopefully all of my bike shit was processed in time.  They got away with like 50 bucks but I'll get it back, fucking people need to learn how to work for money instead of just taking others. 

I didnt weigh myself because of how this weekend went, it'd just depress me but I felt fairly light during my running so it probably wasnt as bad as  i thought.

Also on my runs I was able to string them together instead of stopping to walk so pretty pumped about that, not sure if its just because I lowered the speed 1mph or if Im just getting better because I didnt feel that tired during it.

Diet for today

1 20z coffee, no sugar and half the normal amount of half/half creamer
3 eggs
1 banana
1 2 scoop protein shake w/ Almond milk

Before work I will take in another 2 scoop protein shake

At work will just be 1lb of turkey, water and peanut butterx2.5 servings

The end of the day macros look like 115.6 grams of carbs, 83 grams of fat, 220 grams of protein which is around 2116 calories.  Pretty good because it gives me wiggle room, if its actually a few hundred calories more then it wont matter too much.

tomorrow is looking like rain so ill just plan to do the dreadmill,  probably 30minsx5.5 mph so 2.75 miles altogether.  Depending on that run ill see if i can raise the speed or not for next time.

Since getting my phone mid February I've gone 275 miles so that's kinda ballin but once I figure out how many miles I do a week now, it might be kinda sad.

ok so if I kept up what I've been doing from the start, I would have been at around 500-515+ miles lmao so yeah thats bad.

True that, I think what did it was that I was more donald duck assed than normal so I kept learning forward more and I had to catch myself and try to tighten up my invisible ass and glutes a tiny bit to kind of straighten me out. 


Hopefully my new card comes in soon so I can register for the triathlon, if not then I will find a 5k or something to do.


The weekend cheat

Ok I figured I should share so that I can feel like I am taking responsibility for it and if I do it again people can shame me so i don't do it anymore.

Saturday I believe I had
1 bowl of ice cream(2 scoops)
2 donutes(1 with the ice cream)
2 slices of deluxe pizza slices

Sunday
2 small bowls of ice cream
more than I should have taken in of some noodle stuff
some burritos I believe, maybe 2 or so.

For shame

Well my bike was supposed to come on the 13th but looks like it'll be here tomorrow.

Won't be able to use it for a few days cuz the day after is when my bike rack for my car comes but oh well I think I still have to put the bike together anyway

Nothing today, had to do an interview and get to work a few hours early.

Diet wise 3x eggs,  protein shake, banana, 1lb turkey, pnut butter and some granola bars
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 08, 2016, 09:59:39 am
40 min run
4.8 from 0-7mins
5.0 from 7-35 mins
5.5 from 35-40 mins
1 mile around 12:30
2.4 miles(normal distance for my runs) at 30 minutes
3.33 miles at 40mins(5k at 37:31) or so

dump break

15 minute bike ride, nice and easy

During the run I felt fine, normal burning sensations and what not but nothing bad.  Once I stopped though it all just hit me at once, oh before I get into that, around the 35 minute mark almost exactly there was just a big tingling sensation that went through my whole body for about a minute and I thought well this is it, I'm dying.  Anyway, once I stopped I felt kind of sick and had to shit and worn out but during the run I felt 100% fine, wasnt breathing hard or anything.

weight after workout: 284.3: -15.7lbs

Playlist: Rise against station on the amazon music app and this song popped up towards the end and got me jacked up.  Sixx AM to me is just one of those bands where it's impossible for them to have a bad song, I haven't listened to a song of theirs where I hated them kinda just like Rise against, breaking benjamin, hollywood undead, Seether, Shinedown, disturbed etc etc.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSNeeVLEnd8

Diet today

1 burger(just beef, pickle and ketchup)
friesx idk what you can fit in 1 cup maybe
protein shakex2(2 servings each, will finish the second one by 1)
chocolate milk
turkeyx1lb

Also, my bike came at 1 so I had a half hour to unpack it and put it together but I fell short so I will do that when I get home.  As long as my rack came in today also then I will be good to go for the 30 minute bike ride tomorrow on the trail.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 08, 2016, 09:56:19 pm
Sooo I am definitely under calories for the day and we have had high winds all day and now I got a text that the power is out.  Without being able to eat when I get home, I might be forced to stop and get something...at least just split it up between 3 meals or so..idk  I have a feeling if i stop at BK im going to go bananas and end up with a milk shake and all that shit so I want to try and avoid that.  I need to invest in MRE's

I am around 1400-1600, couldnt get exactly what I had so just a decent estimate. 

Maybe stick to a chicken or fish option and skip the milk shake

Holy fuck, my main man the double whopper that I love oh so much, the big ol #2 alone is 1000 calories..of course with cheese and bacon, without it its like 700 something lol no wonder why i got bitch tits ffs

I can get away with the fish sandwich and the chicken sandwich but you know what, fuck it, I'm not going to stop anywhere because ik if I do that, tomorrow I will stop again.  Will find something cold at home to eat

Might just rest today, I have a lot of packages coming since for some reason they didn't show up yesterday such as my helmet and rack and what not...the stuff I need to be able to take my bike places lol.  Just want to make sure they don't drop them off at the neighbors.

Will keep the normal diet along with trying to walk a lot tonight at work.  This time might try to speed walk the whole thing.

Finally got my  :ibcycling: rack,  :ibcycling: helmet and  :ibcycling: tire patching kit, I am good to go tomorrow!  I might try the full trail and back tomorrow or stick to the 30 minutes at first idk yet.

20 minutes and did 3 miles lol  I had to go on the roads near my house and the options are either uphill or downhill, there is maybe a 10th of a mile straight throughout the whole thing.

I wanted to go to the trail but the bike rack I bought is too wide...figures

I gotta buy a new vehicle soon and its either gonna be a truck or suv.

He's like some bear grylls type of guy haha


Well I've been anorexic lately

today had 1 piece of sausage, 1 protein shake(2 servings) and going to eat 1lb of turkey.

Just not really hungry idk I gotta start eating more though.

Looks like its burger king time tonight, I will only be at 1400 for the day so a chicken something with a small order of fries will put me around 2200.

Workout for tomorrow is run down the road and back, I think it was 1.8 miles.  Go to the trail with the bike and ride for 30 minutes.  Possibly hit up the gym and just do whatever lol  then i have errands to run

I've literally just taken a shit that made me hungry...about 20 minutes before it, I finished probably 10oz of turkey

Looks like I wont be doing the post office job, we are having a guard thats going to another site and I will be moved up to 7-3 but for awhile until the other guard comes back I will be switching between 7-3 and 7-7.  Will find out for sure next week at some point.  Kind of sucks cuz I like working out in the mornings and what not but oh well.  I am thinking that I want to go Adarq mode and stick with running and what not and get into BW movements.  That way once I get called for corrections(pretty soon) I will have a better base for going into the gym.  One thing I always sucked at was bw movements so I kind of see it as a new challenge for something to get better at.

Something like

I want to be able to do 500 push ups everyday and 200 sit ups everyday and build it up to whatever number.  Pull ups I'd have to wait awhile to be able to do them lmao.

Post by: John Stamos on June 11, 2016, 10:11:20 am
Just random numbers haha  But it might be a good starting point.  My best in 1 day was 800 when I did the wod

3k jump rope count
800 push ups
1000 wallballs

But yeah 1000+ push ups per day would be nice.

Yeah my new belt hole is feeling like its getting too loose so I may need to do more holes..phrasing.

Todays workout wasnt what I planned, I woke up and it was a downpour and lightning.

Squat
135/165/185/205/225/255/275/300/315- on 205 my quad and hammys started tightening up lmao
Reps ranged from 10 and ended with 2 on 315, It felt decent but I haven't squatted in over a month and its the first time in a long time that when I squat I actually felt my hammys getting sore.  My quad also tightening up so I figured from 275-315 I'd keep the reps low.

BB RDL
135/165/185/205/225/255..I think i mightve done 275 but yeah reps were 5-8 or so.

Lat pulldowns : 4-5x10

DB flat press : 55/65/75x10 Felt extremely weird and off balanced.

DB Flyes : 30/35/40/45x10

DB side raise w/3 grips : 20/25x10

Tricep db extensions and pushdowns

curls for girls

ab cable crunch: 70/80x10

Tried to bike but my legs cramped up.


I may just sign up for a few 5k runs, a few are in July.  There is one that I thought said chubby chase and I figured it was the slow people that went first and then the fit 5k runners went after and would try to beat them...its not though its called cubby lol

lol Maybe I can set that up sometime, prize goes to any chubsters that don't get passed and the top 3 fit people that pass chubsters.  The chubby runners get a 10 minute head start

It is looking decent out now so I'll let it warm up and dry out as much as possible and maybe head out to the trail with my bike later, if not then I will just do it tomorrow.

Titties are getting smaller byaaaah but my gut looks bigger cuz I did abs for once lol  Will start hitting the gym more, can't let my BMR drop cuz I am burning muscle off.

Just woke up, trying to decide if I want to stay up.   Quick note that Monday will be an off day, I have to get to the bank before work to get money out cuz my card hasn't arrived yet.

Just relaxing,  my glutes and hammies are "barely can sit on there toilet" sore today.

Will begin my 500 push ups a day today though after I eat.
It's looking not at all like how they said today was supposed to look.  Sky is gray af and today was supposed to be a nice one.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 12, 2016, 12:16:39 pm
The first 30 minutes of my ride was figuring out the bike, seeing how it will handle in slippery wet spots so I was definitely slower.  On the way back I figured out that I am more comfortable and faster in 6th gear than any others.  With the shocks on the bike its nice but getting up on the bike to pedal is weird as fuck so all of my time pedaling was seated and only stood up to relax my bum....Whenever I stood up my dick hurt for some reason lol

Total I did 58 minutes or so, I was faster on the way back once I figured I could push the bike harder.  It stormed yesterday and overnight so there were a lot of wet spots and places by the ponds where it flooded.

1hr  :ibcycling: ride: 7.5 miles. My average speed was 7.5 mph which is reasonable considering how often I had to slow down and max speed was 15mph.  Not bad for a cheap walmart bike but pushing it passed that seems hard, I will need to invest in a better bike once I realize that I am going to stick with it.

After the bike ride my legs felt awful and had a hard time walking.

True that, it didn't help that my hammies and glutes were sore already from the squats yesterday haha but once I pushed the speed it was just an instant burn in my quads. 

Food
2x bfast burrtio

14-16oz turkey

Soreness: Hammies and glutes still.  Shitty but oh well I survived.

felt a bit sick last night and felt shitty this morning.  Decided to just run down my road and back and I think my GPS cuts in and out because it said I only went 1.73 miles when the last time I did it, it was 1.8 or something like that.

Previous run was 19:38 or 28 and this run was 17:50 something. 

First mile where it was mainly a warm up was 10:27 at around 5.7mph and this includes a hill.  One the way back I stopped to walk for about 20 seconds because I thought i was going to puke, not because I was tired or anything just kinda hit me and once I burped I traveled on.  Decided to sprint to see what I can get up to and it was like idk 13mph or something.

Drinking a brotein shake and cooking some eggs later on a burger(no bun)

Next week depending on my schedule I think it's time to do the same run or a 2 mile run on the trail and try to break into the 9's

I wrote out a new plan

Goal: Run at least 10 miles per week
Goal: Bike at least 7 miles per week on actual bike
Stationary bike: at least 33 miles per week.
Walk at least: 25 miles per week

Total: 81 miles per week of activity.

Monday
Long run: 40 minutes(3-3.5 miles)
Bike: 10 miles
Walk 5 miles at work

Tuesday
Short Run: 2 miles
Bike: 10 miles
Walk 5 miles at work

Wednesday
1 mile test
Jump Rope
Walk 5 miles at work

Thursday
Long Run: 40 minutes
Bike 10 miles
Walk 5 miles at work

Friday
Short Run: 2 miles
Bike 3 miles (W/ high intensity)
Walk 5 miles at work

Saturday
1 mile run test
Outside bike: 30 minutes

Sunday
Bike Ride: 1.5 hours (45 minutes 1 way)

Kind of starting this week off bad already with having to rest today.  Tomorrow i should be fine with the 40 minute run and I think I just hit a wall with the mile time because I don't have the "cardio" to push myself faster so I am hoping that putting in more miles per week will build that up.  Also, If I dont get any of these jobs coming up(corrections, budweiser, supervisor at another factory) I will be heading to Oklahoma City to try and get into the police department.

Then I will just throw in the weights probably on the easier running days.

This sunday will be a off or just a light day also, I'm heading out towards Rochester to go to the drag strip with some badass cars and I should probably get there early.

 :ibrunning: 1hr
5.07 miles
How I felt
-Breathing wise I was calm throughout, the HR monitor said i got up to 143bpm but i felt fine.
-I had some aches show up around the 30 minute mark but they went away
-After the run i felt like death so I figured id count today as the 3 mile bike ride instead and substitute it for an extra 20 minute run...i just didnt want to bike

Weight idk.  Over the weekend I cheated a bit on my diet and ate a whole digiorno pizza and I think I am finally dropping it lol  Once I clear my system with fiber gummies I will weigh myself again.

Steps so far is about 11,500

Diet for today
Chicken
Turkey slices
Protein shakex2
And maybe some eggs and rice cakes

Thanks, it was on the treadmill but I'll still count it as a win.  Breathing wise I can go longer but my body isn't conditioned for that yet and I probably won't try until I'm maybe 250lbs.

Now that ik I can do it, I'll switch my long runs to 1hr but keep the others the same and have the 2 and 1 mile runs be speed work.

Thinking I still want to get into the 18s for 2 miles and 8 mins for the 1 mile

I found a 5k in september in Syracuse...it's one of those runs where people throw colored powders and shit at you because idk fun.  Anyway I think I might do it because there will be some mamacitas there but I really don't want shit thrown at me.

Tomorrows workout
Tuesday
Short Run: 2 miles
Bike: 10 miles
Walk 5 miles at work

May run 2 miles at a 9:30 pace, bit some back and bis and finished off with the bike and I will try to go somewhat early.

There is a girl at the gym now, I went to school with her sister and wowza she is looking fine, definitely been hitting the skwaats.  Her sister absolutely hates me though which I won't lose sleep over but eh I might give it a shot.

Rest day, my body is shot and all of those fiber gummies are kicking in.  Walking in total yesterday was around 16k steps with my run.  They have one of the buildings taped off that I use to access the back side on foot so now I have to change my route and figure something out.  If one of the other areas isn't blocked off then I should be fine, if not then it's just a lot of walking.

I like my cheat days on the weekends, they are pretty fun but I have a new idea and I will see if i can pull it off.  Starting monday(this coming sunday im going to the drags and i doubt i will eat clean there) I will try to go for 12 weeks straight of eating "clean"  If I accomplish it then I will choose 1 of the food eating challenges in NY to do and I will post which one I will in a bit....it's between a 5lb burrito or a lot of ice cream.  I probably won't go to these places because they are far away and with the gas I'd use to get there I can just use to buy the ingredients and make it myself.

My goals for that test was a 12:38 1.5 mile so at least on a treadmill i can barely do it now.  By the next test to come around I should be able to smash it and I am hoping I get my test scores here pretty soon.

Clock started at 20:00
Mile 1: 20:00 - 11:34
Mile 1.5: 20:00 - 7:38

8:34 mile
12:22 1.5 mile
Not bad considering I waste about 10 seconds or so setting it up and waiting for the belt to get up to speed.

I felt sick though, pace was 7.2mph then for the last .5 miles I did 7.5-9.8mph

I am also stuck at 283, idk if it's my metabolism dropping due to muscle loss (my legs are noticeably smaller) and a caloric deficit....oooor maybe I've cheated too hard this past weekend and what not.  Idk though.

I also hit some back and bis with rdl, pulldowns and curls

Nothing today, had to come in for a 12 hour, will do stuff tomorrow

For meals today i have some chewy bars, a steak, salt potatoes, some turkey and had a protein shake before I left my house.

Tomorrows workout will hmmmmm I want to run 3 miles so i can actually complete the 10 miles for the week so I may do that.   I have to make a lot of free time tomorrow cuz I will watch batman vs superman and its long as shit.

The person I am working with right now is extremely lazy and i cannot wait until they leave and I am taking the 15th off for syracuse nationals, biggest car show in the north east.

Ran about 35 minutes

Felt easy and was around 11 minute miles towards the end, started out around 9:30 miles.  My right calf down to my heel was sore and burning a bit so I had to slow down and breathing felt on point just like how I feel on a treadmill.

I received the paper version of my score along with a canvass letter for the job so everything will happen pretty soon I hope.

I also shot around and moved some tires and 300lbs of salt.

So I just weighed myself after breakfast, protein shake and water...my gut is full AF

279.2!!!!!!!!!!!

20.7lbs lost

Will check tomorrow at the gym just to make sure, I used the scale that I have at the house.

By the end of the day i will probably hit 17-18k steps for the day
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 05, 2016, 10:00:11 am
278.6

Bench Supa set with incline push ups.  Worked with 225 for a few sets
DB flyes..nothing amazing
Tricep work..nothing amazing
Bikex20 minutes.  Legs feel dead AF so I'm going to rest them for tomorrow.

Just ordered a new bike seat, one for people with big ol bootys so hopefully I will get that by thursday or friday and be ready for the weekend.

Every 10lbs I have taken progress pics and I have some from when I was around 300, 289 and 278.  From 300-289 there wasn't a lot of difference, some but eh.  Comparing 278 to 289 though, I can definitely tell that my stomach is getting leaner, my right side of my titties and love handles are slimming down and from a side view just my stomach is significantly smaller.  I will keep fighting the fight until I am down to my normal weight again, I'd like to be about maybe 210 or so but lean AF and jacked and I plan on hiring Shelby Starnes to work with yearly until I am comfortable with doing everything on my own.

His name is Tim so idk, maybe he's just picking on me because basically I don't really feel like shootin the shit with anyone there so I just go with the classic, how's it going? and thats it.

Anyway

I have an oil change soon and then I will head over to the gym to run for 30 minutes, maybe hit back too idk.

Adarq, I will be looking at computers soon and basically I want to know if building one is difficult?  I want a computer that basically wont be out of date in 2 years and can basically be fast and powerful enough to play any games etc etc for maybe $800-$1000.  Reasonable or nah?

 :ibrunning: 3.12 miles in 29.21, I had to hop off for about 10 seconds or so around 2.23 miles because I felt like I was going to puke so I ran a little extra at the end.

weight-277.2
-22.7lbs

I did pretty good today with the ladies, there's a super hot chick in the gym who i always suspected of being a physique competitor and it turns out that she is.  She actually approached me and said wow I'm surprised you were on there for so long, I know I couldn't do it, you looked determined.  Once she said that I was like yep I'm going all out so we shot the shit for awhile and laid down the foundation, I let her know that i was interested in competing in the future as well and that I used to be in great shape(before I came back onto here) but in a elegant way.  I wasn't like yo babe I used to have abs and 19" pipes, wanna get outta here and drink some protein shakes while I curl for you? 

I have a feeling that if I can date her she will inevitably kill me due to some organ(except the most important one..hey now) failing(due to blood loss), it would be boner city 24/7.

Anyway, eating breakfast and super happy with progress, i may hit legs on friday just to get something in once a month or so and hopefully in 2 weeks I will be down to about 269 is the goal.

So the head guy here still thinks my name is actually Tim and I didn't correct him because its awkward lol  Oh well, thank god I will be leaving soon.

The workout tomorrow will be probably as follows because I want to get my 40 minute jog in on Friday so I will skip a day in the workout in order to hit legs on saturday(no I wont be skipping a workout just going from my 3 mile run to 1 mile run instead of going 3 mile-2mile 1 mile)

So tomorrow will be a 1 mile run sprint on the dreadmill, I want to be at a 7 something pace and just see if I can hold on for dear life.  If I can keep 7.5mph and kind of haul ass towards the end and probably 8mph or so then I should be able to get my mile time into the 7s

7:50 mile
Felt better than I thought, I was tired at the end but if the treadmill wasn't a pain in the ass to get going then keeping a 7:53 mile pace would have been easier but I had to speed it up to like 9.8mph for the last .2 miles.

weight is around the same, i didnt do my usual morning ritual, I feel like shit and felt kinda sick this morning so I got to the gym asap to get it over with

also hit biceps.

Bikex 40 minutes

The new seat is nice, a lot less pain.  Cheated last night at McDonalds, my shifter wouldn't come out of park so I had to take the middle console out and fuck around with the lock release.  It pissed me off so I said fuck it.

Gonna eat my turkey and what not and protein shakes later.

Woke up exhausted, not sure why.  Taking a protein shake, another one before work.

By Friday I want to hit 11 miles so that means 4 tomorrow, 2 on Friday then 3 on saturday and 1 on Sunday with biking.

I'm 9th on the list for the other county which is a good standing, just hope the 8 ahead of me haven't been exercising or anything.  That academy is 26 weeks long.

Food
Cheat bfast(not a lot but kinda bad)
Protein shake
Protein shake
watermelon
turkey later
A lot of low cal drinks such as powerade and what not.

4 mile run
I chose a 5mph pace because my other runs this week didn't feel that great.  By the end of the run I felt completely fine, relaxed, wasn't breathing hard at all.  Had some aches such as my calves and right achilles area but thats just normal, will stretch it out later.

Ate 4 eggs scrambled(figured out what i was doing wrong)
1 rice cake
1 protein shake with 2 servings, going to have another one when I am done with this.
Later some turkey

When i go get groceries tomorrow I will probably stock up on the pre cooked bagged chicken, more expensive but it tastes better and its easier and more convenient.

I havent checked my weight because it has been hot lately and I have been drinking a lot of fluids.

2 mile run, Achilles ache, just going to bike this weekend to rest my legs a bit.

Adarq

I got my test results and the fitness test requirements back and it looks easy as fuck but i want help programming my workouts leading up to it.

Part 1: run 150 minutes, down a set of stairs, back up, run to a dummy hanging in the air, take the dummy down and bring it somewhere 10 yards away
Part 2: Same as part 1 except the dummy is in a cot and you pick him up out of it and drag him to a safe area/both are within 1:35
Part 3: stair climb- around 20 steps, must go up and down 4 times in 65 seconds
Part 4: 1 mile run!!!!!! in 9:30.

I was wondering if I should cut down my running as far as distance wise to say 2.5-3 miles and focus on fast 1-2 mile runs, try to keep a 9:30-10 min mile pace on the 2 minute runs and a 8:30 minute mile pace on the 1 mile runs.  I just dont want to cut too much volume on my lungs because thats where im starting to excel.  Also, I am a giant pussy now so should i start incorporating legs and back work again?

The test is August 8th so 3 weeks and 3 days or so away with potential 5 weeks but i doubt i will need the retake.

Tomorrow for a workout since i gotta get my brother in shape for it also, we are probably just going to hit everything and hit up the stair master like a boss

you kind of look like a professional arm wrestler in the last pic.

one of my favorite memories is when you managed to get T-DUB to join theverticalsummit, to "cuss you out". LMFAO.





i'm not adarq, but don't cut your mileage.

ya i agree. and Stamos you seem to be making some good progress lately on these runs.

Do you have access to stairs? If so, I would actually get some stair runs in. We used to run them all of the time when I was at MSC .. people's first experiences with them were ALWAYS bad. It's good to get in some stair runs ahead of time.

We'd also let people training for firefighter's tets run them etc.. They'd eventually put on vests and run them.

Might be hard finding some stairs to run though.. could always run bleachers perhaps. We had a 6 story parcking garage (for the hospital) with stairs on the outside, it was perfect.

Yeah I think I got the majority of whatever that group was called on here just for me lol.  I was shit idk 17 at the time lol

Stairs I can do at work, the plant is 7 stories so I can run them, lately when I can I'll go up and down them twice.  I can go to the school and hit up the bleachers as well.  So just keep things the same with stairs?  Do you think I should Delold about 2-3 days before and just do mile jogs and stretching?

On the mile back I did a time of 8:53

Yesterday we went to a new sub shop for supper and the sammiches were huge so I still feel like I have it in me which made the run worse.

This week will be chicken, protein shakes, eggs and rice cakes.  Wanna get to 260s for the test.

Run 3 miles at a slow pace.  Breathing was fine just my achilles again became sore (dull pain) so I stopped.  I finished off with push ups and now I am icing my achilles, took some ibuprofen and eating breakfast.

This week I may cut volume to let it get better so I may do....

Wed- 1 mile jog@ 6mph
Thurs- 1 mile jog@ 7mph
Fri- 1 mile jog@ 6mph
Sat-sun: Bike session

Pre runs will consist of a lot of stretching especially my calves...I guess I gotta start taking it seriously considering its why I'm in this pickle

Considering I have to cut volume I'm going to focus on my diet.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 19, 2016, 12:52:40 pm
LBSS or Adarq or anyone else

Since I'm cutting down my volume running this week to rest my achilles, should I possibly do Crossfit workouts for Wed, Thurs and Friday?  That way I am getting my heart rate up at least.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: LBSS on July 19, 2016, 01:25:46 pm
i'd stop running altogether if you're worried about getting injured. can you up biking volume instead? or row? crossfit-style stuff isn't a replacement for low-intensity cardio but it should be fine as well as long as it doesn't stress your achilles.

Yeah that's an option, i can hit the bike up this week and try to go for 10 mile rides.  The achilles problem doesn't show up until around 20-30 minutes in but I'd feel better about rehabbing it now before it got worse.

Bikex10 miles, easier and quicker than I thought, will go for 20 miles tomorrow which will be about an hour
triceps

stretching

Will be under caloried today, I had to go into work early so i pretty much had time for some chicken, eggs and a protein shake and with me today at work i have 16oz of chicken.  Idk when I put it into my Shealth app it was like just over 1k calories lol  They are having a cookout at work today so i might grab some food from them idk yet.

For my bike ride tomorrow I will just listen to the rest of the Joe Rogan podcast with Mark and Chris Bell.  Will do the same on friday and saturday and Sunday i will ride my mountain bike.  Hopefully the amount of volume I'm doing this week with the biking wont hurt my running for next week.(it seems like if I dont run for awhile i go to shit)

Total volume estimates for the week
Running: 3 miles
Bike: 57 miles
I will then have two full weeks to get to the best shape that I can

Week 1(starting the 25th)
Running Volume(if I feel better)x18-20 miles
I was thinking a 4 mile jog on mon, wed, Fri and 2 mile jogs on Tues, Thurs, Saturday with sunday being a rest.  Adjusting those runs accordingly, if I start to feel anything around the 3 mile mark then thats where I will stop.

Week 2(starting the 1st)
Running volume might start mon-4, tues-3, wed-1 thursday-2, Friday- 2, Sat-2, Sunday 1 mile jog, Monday test day.

Does that look good for the final week?  I figured doing that I will still keep a decent volume amount even if im sore and i skip 1 day but I will be rested.  For the final mile day that sunday id like to keep it at a 9 min pace so i'm working up a sweat but not going all out.

If the calculator is somewhat accurate, I approximately burn 210 calories per mile at a 10 minute mile pace.  I know its off but the best I can go on right now.
18 miles in the week will be 3780 calories  burned total for running(I'm not sure if the longer you run in 1 session burns more calories when you're tired out)

So if I keep around my normal calories then I should be down a legit 2.5lbs or so during that week(not including water loss) which should be quite a bit of help if it averages to about 5lbs or so.  I want to go to my old gym on sunday and get into the sauna there or something and just sweat it out because i drink a lot of fluids

Just ate my eggs, will have a protein shake before work but I'll eat at the party at work today and try to stay clean.

Tomorrow I have a couple episodes of Bones to watch while I'm on the bike so that'll make for some long distances

20 mile bike ride, probably a 18mph pace, not too bad.

Up to 6k steps so far today, I want to just keep at it cuz i am putting on weight with the reduction in running and my appetite for some reason came back but im trying haha 

This morning i just had 2 bfast burritos, some chocolate milk and a 80 gram protein shake and i bought 1/2lb of turkey for tonight. 

Before my first round I was at 2041 steps and afterwards was 6109, going to head out to do another patrol thats shorter but should be around 8k steps afterwards with 2 more after that or 3 more idk.

Post by: John Stamos on July 22, 2016, 10:51:38 pm
Getting the cravings uggh, for some reason it's for the Mac n cheetos at bk and yet I haven't even had then yet.

I'm gonna man up and not stop though, since I kinda fell it seems like I need to go cold turkey again basically at night.  I'm typically fine during the day but lately I'm just hungry AF at night.

Tomorrow ima try to run 2 miles with a 10 minute stretch of the calves and hammies beforehand with a 5 min walk.  Also do another 20 mile bike ride.  If the gym had wifi and a comfortable seat on the bike I'd probably do 50 miles or so.

I kinda wanna hit some weights also, just feeling like a wuss.

I'm going to plan out my grocery shopping at the gym probably so I have a plan when I get there.

Definitely will stock up on
Meat, veggies, rice cakes, fat source along with some way I can turn the meat and veggies and what not into a meal that tastes like a cheat meal but isnt.  Adarqs stir fry looks good but if you buy it by the bag in the store the macros tend to be shitty.  I'd like to get some shrimp and mushrooms...omnomnomnom idk I'll figure it out.

Idk how buy I lost weight.

I ran 2 miles and my achilles acted up, tried to bike but the only one available was like a recliner type not an upright so that put pressure on my achilles also.

I bought some ibuprofen, groceries, cold pack and ankle support

Jogged 2 miles at 6mph, ache came back towards the end.  Once I'm done with the fitness tests I'll back off of running and just bike for awhile until it gets better.

I also biked 9 miles.

Diet today is going to consist of steak, chicken, kiwi, turkey and peanuts...maybe a rice cake.

I think 2 mile runs are best, I did 6mph today and will go up by .2 each day, bike on the weekend and next week do the same.  Next Friday I have a fitness test for a county I really don't want but that one is easy, I think it's a 100m sprint in less than 19 seconds.

I'll just watch my diet this and next week and hope I don't tear anything.

Watching Clinton Cash, will give a review of it later

Quest bar x1
Peanutsx2-3 servings
1 steak
5 eggs
2 kiwi
1x2 serving protein shake
Will have another serving or 2 of peanuts and maybe 8oz of turkey with 2 slices of cheese just for flavor purposes, eating that much turkey deli meat alone kind of sucks.  Will input it into my Shealth app to find out the damage for the day.

Total Calories
2260 - 2400 depending on the measurements

Carb: 92.4
Fat: 110.1
Protein: 232.5

Not a bad ratio, the protein is definitely there, the fat and carbs seem to be fine considering they are about even but I'd rather see the fat higher and the carb lower.

nyan cat is the closest thing we have to a swimming thing.

lol yeah I haven't started swimming yet, I wont do a triathlon until next summer.  Realistically I want to actually be in triathlon shape before I do one.  It looks like I am on track though to get into the 260s by the test but I dont know if my cardio is getting better or worse.  At 6.2mph its a 9:40 pace and I kept it for 2 miles...I was breathing well not too hard but I had a good sweat going but on my other runs in the past outside it'd be something like low 9s or high 8s but each mile after would jump up by minutes instead of being constant.

Tomorrow is a 6.4mph pace day and my best so far as far as speed wise is 7.2 then random speeds afterwards for 1.5 miles so if I can get into 7.2+ for 2 miles then i know I will be good to do anything.

Also, today I did everything the same(same ibuprofen, shoes etc etc) except I didn't stretch before I ran and yet I didn't feel any aches during or after my run.  I stretched it afterwards and my calves were actually kinda stretched out already so idk if the run did it or just an accumulation of stretching I've been doing.

One of the things I am going to start doing are sit ups every day.  I have to do 37 in a minute I believe and in HS I did like 50s or 60s in a minute but with my baby weight added with my piss poor posture, sit ups are kinda hard right now lol  with 2 weeks of straight sit ups I'll be good though and that test is next friday.

there is basically no chance your cardio is getting worse, unless you're getting emphysema or something. progressive overload doesn't work that way and you've been both adding miles and losing weight.

That's good to know haha I probably have just gotten used to running at a slower pace for longer than a mile so I'll have to adjust to the speed increase. 

As far as food goes, I'm looking at 2200 something for the day including

10oz steak, 1 serving peanuts, 4 kiwis, 1 complete cookie, 2 slices of cheese, 4 eggs, 3 servings of protein shakes, and turkey deli meat.

I've been upping the calories on accident but I think it's what I needed to get back to losing weight.

I'm watching the CF games now and I'm kind of missing it haha.  If I returned to it then I'd have to go nice and slow, maybe do a wod 3x a week and focus on building strength again first while somehow keeping my running in.

Once I get into one of the counties and get out of the academy, my mission is to build a decent home gym.  I haven't been into showing off for the ladies at the gym in a long time because girls dont care about howmuchyabench or howmuchyasquat.  In the pic of my arms being folded, on the oh press machine my arms looked diesel AF and thats what attracted one cougar who was a speed skater....perfect lower body, it was ridiculous how hot she was.

So yeah, I'd probably very slowly get back into CF and focus on dropping more weight before I got serious with it.  I dont want to edit the workouts to say fat man pull ups anymore lol.

I have 63lbs more to go before I am down to the weight I want to be at.  Right now I am averaging maybe 1lb per week which isn't bad but I'm still at a weight where I can lose more than that before I start to really stall and have to really focus on my diet.

269.8.

I have less food in me but I did drink about 10oz or 18oz I can't remember the bottle size of water beforehand.

-30.1lbs

I took a pic of it but with my phone it went up to 270.0 and Idk how to upload a pic onto here without uploading it somewhere else first.

So I've been keeping pics of my front and side from 289 to where I'm at now.  I'm still waterlogged as fuck but there's a slight different between my 279 and 269, not much but a huge different between 289 and now.  My right side is leaning out while my left is staying the same.  I can't wait until the tests are done so I can throw in weights again to keep some muscle.

Went to bed late and late for me is around 2am so I woke up with a big headache and my body ached all over.  Taking a rest day with increased walking at work.

I just got around to eating since I've been in and out of sleep until 11.

Eggsx4
Peanuts x 2
1 complete cookie.

Will have 2 protein shakes before work and eat turkey and what not tonight.

I have to remember peanuts because lately well a few weeks back I had mcdonald's and got addicted to salt again lol.  Those cravings popped up so if I eat peanuts before I leave work I'm good.

There's a new kickboxer movie coming out and it looks pretty bad ass and makes me want to do MMA again.  I'd never compete because if I get one of these jobs it doesn't look professional to go to work with black eyes and what not.

My gym is closed next week for cleaning so I'll have to go to another one because running on a treadmill is lower impact(it's how it feels to me anyway)

TV SHOW REVIEW TIME

Ash VS The Evil Dead

Awesome show and I'm not a huge fan of the movies tbh.  Starz was the perfect channel for it to be on because if they had to edit a lot of the stuff out for it to be on another channel, it'd completely ruin it.  The humor in it is kind of dry humor but it works and it was pretty gory which fit perfectly with the show. 

As far as the humor I will give an example, they go to the cabin where it all started in the movies and he tells everyone that he has to go alone because everyone he loves dies that goes there.  Of course they ignore him and show up, events take place and his friend Pablo is in the basement.  Ash hops down into the basement and says something to the line of "Don't worry Pedro I'm coming for you..I mean Pablo."  Before anyone attacks me saying I laughed at a racist joke, I think it was geared more towards him saying Pablo and the girl were his friends and he loved them etc etc and then he forgot his name for a second, just a little quip and thats how I took it.

Synopsis, he gets hammered with a girl and reads her "poetry" from the book(I cant remember what the book was called) but it brought the evil back and he has to find a way to stop it.

I'd recommend it for on your own or if you know a girl that likes horror type of movies and shows then you can "starz and chill"

Scream season 2 looks like it will be coming to an end soon so I will do a review on that mind fuck of a show.

Holy Smokes batman

I now have a fitness test on August 3rd, August 5th, and August 8th.  My abs are going to be sore as fuck considering 2 of them are going by the cooper standard.

The 3rd is push ups, sit ups and 1.5 mile run

The 5th is push ups, sit ups, 100m sprint and dummy work

The 8th is running with dummy work, stairs and 1 mile run

I hope my achilles will be good by then so it doesnt explode.  Hope for 265 by then.

1 mile walk at 3.6 mph

I went on 3 different treadmills and they all would skip and stick after a certain speed so I said fuck it and walked.

Stairmaster x 20 minutes around 1.8 miles.  Sweating balls afterwards.

267.2lbs

-32.7lbs

Total from heaviest is 35lbs

My goal was 269 by next Monday and I already have met that.  I'm at 267 now not waterlogged and if I stay strict enough,  I want 259 by Monday even if dropping water helps.  On my lowest hydration days I'm still 2-3 cups over the 8 cups a day recommendation.  As long as I rehydrate the night before and some the morning of I should be good to go.  I don't need to be too hydrated, it's only 1 mile plus 300 meters with some other stuff.

Tomorrow is just a 20 minute run on the track, just getting in a little bit of some final volume, going to focus on a little bit of speed but just mainly form(as much as Ik) and just trying to keep a relaxed pace and heart rate.  I have the 1.5 mile run on wednesday so a 20 minute run should be 2.xx miles, looking for 17 minutes range for 2 miles tomorrow.

Also, I think I am catching the crossfit fever again, the women are just so hot lol  The skandinavian women, just think about the genetics potential there for a future powerlifter, strongman or crossfitter.

Tomorrow is just a 20 minute run on the track, just getting in a little bit of some final volume, going to focus on a little bit of speed but just mainly form(as much as Ik) and just trying to keep a relaxed pace and heart rate.  I have the 1.5 mile run on wednesday so a 20 minute run should be 2.xx miles, looking for 17 minutes range for 2 miles tomorrow.

Run: 1.7 miles
Mile 1 pace: 9:08 or something
Mile 2 pace would have been 9:38

At 1.7 my quad tightened up so I stopped.  I was sweating and breathing heavily but not too bad I was still comfortable.  As long as the stairs don't kill me too much I'll try for a 7:50 mile next Monday.  Tomorrow I'll try for a 12:30 1.5 mile.

The pace today was for a 2 mile run until I had to stop so I had a lot more in the tank and I was still around a 13:xx 1.5 mile pace.

Also, I noticed if I run kind of hunkered down, body straight up so it feels like my legs are moving like the tracks on a tank.  No bouncing just forward movement I feel more comfortable and faster and it's easier to keep a normal breathing pattern.

My grammar might be shit cuz I'm trying to take a dump and I hate typing on my phone.

I am going to hook myself up to my compex and hopefully get the knot out of my quad.

That was shitty

The excuses...dun dun dun

I felt groggy all day
My TB Band is fucked
The gym was warm AF and my legs were just heavy and tired before we even started.

Push ups in 1 minute: 43
Sit ups in 1 minute: 23 lmfao
1.5 mile run: 14:08
1 mile time was 9:2x
Just a shitty run altogether but oh well I only had maybe 10 or less people beat me in the run and I was the second heaviest person.

Nah they told me my mile time as I passed by.  I think I worded that weirdly haha

Idk it's whatever, I still did better than the majority of the people.

My right hip was fucked up last night afterwards and feels fucked up now.

They told us that there are like 12 positions available, some with the justice center and if I don't get picked now, they got the budget approved for more guards to hire by the 1st of the year.

If I get picked then I will be in the academy by September 12th.

It'd be nice but I'd definitely prefer my county.  A lot less people took it and I was like 9th in line or so out of 30.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 05, 2016, 10:57:49 am
Hip and IT Band still sore

Bench: 225x3x8
Hammer press
Hammer row
Triceps

Walk 1.5 miles.
I timed the last mile walk at 14:55 and had a max pace of 10:30.

Just going to relax and stretch and recover for Monday.

After Monday I think Adarq wanted to know if there's a correlation between sprinting or jogging and fast pace walking.  I kind of want to get my 100m, 200m, 400m and mile times and start a speed walking program.  I might do it for a month and then see if I've improved or gotten shittier.  I'd like to see if I can get my speed walk down as fast as my average mile jog time.

Sleep last night sucked,  was about 80 so I had to wake up around 230 and turn the air conditioning on. 

I used to complain about how often it rained in the summer here but after this summer I won't be complaining anymore.

Mile pre test run: 8:45

Hip sore but after the .5 marl I was warmed up.

Will write up my workout plansif tomorrow goes good
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 07, 2016, 02:20:06 pm
Weight: 270 lol wtf

I guess it could be worse, with the lack of volume because of my injuries and not being able to lift weights consistently....i guess i can see why.  Oh well, 1 day left.

From Tuesday on, I will be tweaking with a program that incorporates everything and by everything i just mean running, weights and bodyweight movements.

Normal week
running: 2-1-1-2-1-2-1(miles, each represents a day)
Weights: push/pull/squat/push/pull/squat
Bodyweight: Pool room stuff such as push ups, jump rope, wall ball, burpees etc. etc.

That is what I will have to do until I am pretty much forced to not workout during the academy.  If I take my county then 26 weeks will be torture for no weights but oh well.

Will start off small with the weights, maybe 2-3 sets of lighter weights higher reps.


I figured I'd clarify the weights portion, they wont be full blown workouts twice a week, it will pretty much be like for a normal shoulders and chest day.  I will cut those 2 days in half and put them together in 2 separate push days.  Each day will consist of some chest, triceps and shoulder movements.

Push day 1
BB Bench
DB Flyes
DB OH Press
DB Side raise
DB/bb triceps

Push day 2
BB Shoulders
DB Front raise/rotators
DB FLat press
Machine press
triceps cable

something like that.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 07, 2016, 05:56:50 pm
Monday
Run 2 miles
BB Bench(2 working sets of 10 for all except main lift)
DB Flyes
DB OH Press
DB Side raise
DB/bb triceps
Bodyweight focusing on burpees and push ups with wallballs

Tuesday
run 1 mile
RDL
lat pulldown v bar
ab/lower back
bicep
bodyweight fatman pullups

Wednesday
run 1 mile
Skwaaaaaaat
DB front squat
bodyweight movements air squat and jump ropes

Thursday
run 2 miles
BB Shoulders
DB Front raise/rotators
DB FLat press
Machine press
triceps cable

Friday
run 1 miles
BB Row
Tbar row
straight bar pulldown
biceps
bodyweight

Saturday
run 2 mile
Box squat or front box squat
bulgarian split squat
hammy curls

Sunday
run 1 mile
stretch
rest

Thats the outline, can possibly change but generally starting out 2-3 sets of 10 or so to get back to the swing of things.  I might only be doing this for a month or so if I get into one of the counties thats starting their academy in mid september.  If I get the chance to take the other one then yeah shit idk how long itll take but I hope they let us do some light training.

Ugh

I'm nervous and it's either making me feel a Lil sick or the fact that I took a massive dump that emptied me and that's causing it.

Going to the gym around 830 to stretch and warm up for an hour and head out to the test.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 08, 2016, 11:36:36 am
I passed
9:11 mile
Gravel track
80 something degrees
I puked
. ..
...
Twice

Lol I passed by another runner at the end and 10ft from the finish line I puked in my mouth, crossed and spat it out on the side then just threw up again but it was mostly water.

The first 2 deals with running, stairs and the dummy I was around 1 min 5 seconds each which was a good pace, didn't wear me out.

The stairs was a joke, the guy wasn't even paying attention to me so I did 1 less or 1 more than I should have.

Then the run lol. Breathing heavy but my first lap was a 7min flat pace and I told myself that was too fast so I slowed it down a bit.

Considering the academy and what not I am thinking the program I made up with minimal rest is good or go crossfit.  Will decide tonight.

 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Yeah, gonna start a new program tomorrow, plan out my diet and take a cheat day before I start my official diet or I'll just do my diet today and have something for dinner that's a cheat to get it out of the way.

I'm just going to have to play around with crossfitty programs because I cant find any on the main website.  Or I can do somewhat my original plan and just have my bw portion be  one of the girls.

My goal I think before one of the academies, however long it is away, I want to complete Murph. 

Tomorrow its looking like Modified Barbara
20 fat man pull ups
30 push ups
40 sit ups lol yeah right how about 10
50 air skwaaaaaaats
5 rounds for time.

The weights will go by fast with minimal rest periods, I really wish I had a hammer press because for whatever reason it seems like itd just go faster than a barbell which doesnt make any sense but oh well I miss the hammer machines.

And I am going to switch the running to 1 mile each day and just going to slowly increase the mileage this time around.  My IT band pain is gone but the others are still there

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 09, 2016, 08:21:36 am
Headed to the gym now and my hips are barking

Bench: Worked up to 215x2x10
Strength is there but after a certain amount of reps I just shit out
DB flat press: 40, 50, 60, 70
DB OH press: 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
Tricep work.
Walk 1 mile: 1640.  Highest speed was 4.6 or 8

Both sides of my hips are now sore so I figured a WOD wouldn't be a smart idea.

Will go at it tomorrow with a wod.

I found a yoga video that I'll start tomorrow also.  Hopefully after a week or two of it I'll start feeling better.

My goal today is to refill out my application (some stuff spilled on it) and plan my macros.

I'm thinking starting with 2500 calories and doing a high medium low split for protein carb and fat.

250ish protein
150ish carb
100ish fat

I'll try that out, should give me a bit more energy.  As time goes on I'll slowly increase the calories.

Rdl: Worked up to like 220 or so, hammy was sore and grip sucks

Inverted row: 4 sets different grips

Latin pull down: 4 sets

Biceps

Forgot my running shoes so I'm on the bike and will attempt some kind of wod.  Maybe light hang cleans with push ups or something.

21-15-9
Clean @ 95lbs
Push ups.
3:48

Push ups were straight and I broke up the first set of cleans into 3 sets for whatever reason.  I figured I'd be more tired than I am but I am feeling it and I think I just caught the crossfit bug after doing that.

Nothing today, waiting to go to my interview.  Not necessarily nervous, just annoyed that I had to wake up this early and I just want to get it over with.

Correction, if it only lasts an hour then I'll be home by 1130 or so.  I'll get to the gym maybe 1230, workout shower and just go to work.  I kinda wanna do that anyway but I like just getting up and getting it over with early.

Correction that correction: I went home and fell asleep before work.

Worst squat session ever.

At 205lbs I felt like I have no power out of the hole and my legs were just sore and cramping by then.  The weight wasn't hard but just not used to squatting...it's been like 3 months haha
I did 225 once but my legs just cramped up all over the place and said yep yep that's it for me.

Walked for 20 minutes and took a shower.

Going to get a weight vest tonight or tomorrow and go on a idk rucksack March for 12-15 miles on Sunday

Tomorrow is upperbody and gotta incorporate running again, ive taken this week pretty much off and my hips and what not feel fine, just my legs suck but I had them on the compex and will do another compex session tonight. 

I may do

200m run/1 minute push ups
200m run/1 minute air skwaats
Repeat that for as long as I can.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 13, 2016, 09:08:51 am
Upperbody, nothing amazing



21-15-9 cleans/push ups
2:46

I'm not fitter after a week lol, this time I went unbroken on the first set and broke up the other two because my forearms were on fire.

I bought a weight vest, only 20lbs but I figured combined with my fat it'll do.  There is a hilly cross-country trail at the school that I'll go in instead of the straight trail that won't do much.


Goal 10 miles

Season 1 recap
Main hot girls father and friends were attacked by Brendan James in HS because he was a freak, he attacked her father but he lived and he killed 5 other people, police shot him and he fell into the lake and the figured they killed him.  You find out that emmas mom and Brendan james boned and knocked up emmas mom and thats why her father left. Brendan James was disfigured AF and had a special mask(killers mask) made to keep his face like together after surgery.
Main hot girl w/nice butt has killer after her
Main hot girl and friends try to find out who it is
Main hot girl finds out who killer is (half sister) at party and main killer dies
Ending scenes show Main Hot girls friend had letters from the main killer

Season 2

Emma(main hot girl with nice butt) is back in lakewood after having a psychotic break and everything seems to be the same.  Noah(friend) starts a podcast about everything that happened and had suspicions that main killer had an accomplice and tried to piece it together.  Main killer mainly stalks Emmas friend who brought the killer to lakewood, not too kill but to just fuck with everyone and tries to get video footage to pin everything on her and emma(you find out later he makes a video)  Jake(friend) is the first to go but nothing happens with that until like 4 episodes in when they are at school and they unroll a banner and he drops out and almost lands on his gf.  This is when everything starts and they just throw curveball after curveball so you have no clue who the killer is and even a few things that should have been explained werent.  Kieren(emmas bf after her first boyfriend died in season 1) cousin who shows up this season was at the previous bfs funeral before anyone knew him.  He took Emma to an abandoned house to try to bone and there were 2 bodies in the bathroom(the cousin isnt the killer btw) but its strange that they didn't explain that.  More killings and sabatage and what not happens and you get to the final episode that I am rewatching  where you get to find out who the killer is.  Ending scene shows killer in Jail and killer calls claiming to be his lawyer and says "Who said you can wear my mask"

First Season was all John Carpenter and had a Scream 4 feeling to it where it picked on itself and picked on social media a lot.  Also contained creative narrating.  This season didn't feel like that and it seemed like it was too technological for the killer to do by himself(uploading a video as a virus onto a computer nerd who hacks computer and cant stop it for instance) I am not a fan of slasher movies like this where the second movie(or season) incorporates the main character being a nut job which makes sense but they do too much of her being crazy and seeing things and it just didnt feel like it worked.  It still peaked my interest once jakes body was revealed and was kind of disappointed in the deaths simply because its supposed to one up itself and idt this time it did.  The new PC characters would have annoyed me because they did it simply because the first season was too white but the characters were good. 

Killer reveal: I wont in case someone reads my shitty reviews and wants to watch it but it annoys me that once the killers get revealed they have to do creepy killer voice...idk its off putting, the first killer did that also.  I enjoyed the season but I would have enjoyed it more if I didnt wait week to week to watch the episodes I think. 

This season was a 3/4 out of 5 because of the slow start.

Will be reviewing a new show called idk yet, I forgot what it was but it picks on Millennials and how coddled they are and I believe its on ABC or something.  They did a test screening for Millennials(probably college aged kids 24 and under or so) even though I count as a Millennial and i guess it pissed all of them off and they said good the shows perfect then haha.

On the clean/push up wod I am usually around the 45 second mark when I finish the cleans for 21 minus 10 seconds for getting ready.  Today I was on my 17th push up by the 45 second mark so I was flying and was going to destroy my best.  I wasn't worn out but when I got up from push ups I immediately felt like I was going to puke.

I finished it but blah

did triceps

I am down to 267 and i ate like horse shit all weekend, on saturday i ordered 2 quesadillas and they were huge AF, ice cream etc etc just horrible so maybe thats a spike in metabolism? lol

1 mile run

Skwaats, pathetic, hurt my upper inner thigh/groin on my second time last set

Ended it there to take a shower to get some heat on everything

Icing my nuts now

Skwaats aren't idk normal, my muscles just hurt instead of getting a good pump or the normal feeling.  Feels like on each erything I'm just going to tear shit.

Gonna just walk for awhile depending on how it feels in the morning.

Decided on box squats for now on

bench
leg raises
front raise
side raise


I can do 1 exercise for the whole song or rotate between push ups and squats or something

oooo burpees would be bad

I was about to clarify it this morning haha it was a walk not a run, I'm starting slow with the runs again, probably move it up to 1.5 miles this week even though I did 1 today.  I'm not sure about the walk cuz i had to take a dump but I was at about 3mph.

Green sally up (bring sally up) whatever the Moby lyric is for push ups.  I stopped and restarted multiple times and didn't make it through the song.

DB flyes
Oh press up to 55s
DB front raise
Bench: small increments to 225x3x3
Green sally upx wallballs

Puked

Walking.

Weight: 265lbs with shoes and phone in pocket so possibly 263, was 268 last week.  Idk if its just no food in my system or my zig zag type of diet that I havent been trying to purposefully do is actually working.  Basically just eat clean and strict during the week and weekends are pig out days.

On rare occasions I have phantom smells and I will smell smoke when it's not there.  Once I hauled ass down the driveway cuz i thought the house was on fire and last night I turned off the air conditioner cuz i thought it was about to go up in flames

well ya, I don't eat "ALOT" then run.. but, if my stomach is empty, I will cramp (probably 95% likely). it's the worst. Also, if I eat TOO MUCH, I will also cramp .... that's that "carrying a baby" feeling you mentioned.

cramps are my worst nightmare.

Gaining weight back ugh

Ran .7 miles just now and had to hop off to take a dump.  I weighed myself before so I want to see how much I weigh post dump lol

Have another .8 to go for the 1.5 miles.  The pace I was going at was relaxing, no pains just a little irritation in the same spots.

I'll be going back to my strict counting calories diet tomorrow.  Today I have a 116g shake, some left overs and ravioli lol I have a 12 hour shift to do so I grabbed whatever I could.

After the run I'll do back and bis with a wod and if I have time then more running.

Mile 1: 15:17
Mile 2:  14:17

On mile 2 I utilized the butt woddle more which is faster but my hips and pchain are sore.

Will have to dump soon, goal is 5 miles.

 :rant:Fucking bathrooms are locked, I'll have to see how long I can hold out for.

4.95 miles, hit 5 miles with just walking to the house and back to the car.  There was another car there hidden behind the bathroom building so I assumed the couple was there to fuck.

Diet today will consist of marinated chicken salads, protein(got my 10lber a few days ago) eggs.  Ill make up 3 small salads to have throughout the day, 2 protein shakes, 50 grams each with some eggs for bfast and whatever for supper.

I also decided on 2 vehicles, going to save up and wait until winter time to get one of them.

I put in everything i will be eating for today and I am only at 1400 calories.

I am thinking about upping it to 2500 calories a day since I am working out now mixed with running.

I also want to do this

Day 1 Push/ .5 mile sprint
Day 2 Pull/Skwaat/.5 mile sprint
Day 3 Run
Day 4 Push/.5 mile sprint
Day 5 Pull/Skwaat/.5 mile sprint
Day 6 Run
Day 7 walk

This week will be 1.5 mile runs, I want to keep at 1.5 until I can do it at 7mph and not feel worn out then I will move it up to 2 miles and work up to 7mph and not be worn out, etc etc.

Good good good workout, will post soon, outside letting the pugs take a dump

Bench: started at 10 reps and went down to 5 reps around 235 then 3 reps at 255 to doubles til 275
135/165/185/210/225/235/245/255/265/275

DB side raise: 25/30/35x4x10
SUPA SET
DB Front raise: 30x4x10
Machine press drop set: 200-100 going down by 10lbs each time
Triceps
Run: .5 mile "sprint" 7.6mph until the last .2 miles which was 8mph for 4:03(takes like 15 seconds or more to get up to speed)

Starting weight of this cycle is 267.3

Diet today
3 salads
3 eggs( maybe 3 more for lunch)
2 protein shakes about 58 grams each
1 small can of pringles
1 salami and pepperoni sub no mayonnaise and small amount of italian dressing.

WIll do the calorie count and see where i am at....be boop be boop de doop be boop 2677, not exactly but close enough to what I will be having. I think it might be closer to 2500 which is spot on.

2 months 18 days until my brothers wedding.

Goal by then
245lbs

Scale might be iffy considering I'm working out so I'm sure I'll have beginner gains again.  I'm thinking maybe a pants size is a better goal to shoot for...maybe not i squat beltless....hmm Idk I'll figure out how I will track my progress so I'll do the scale for now.

When you settle under the bar for a squat(before the unrack) breathe in through your nose as much as you can then breathe in through your mouth as much as you can.  You can pull in more air doing it that way #Mindblown

You can unrack the bar, breathe out a tiny bit then suck it back in. 

Will try it tomorrow.

SKwaat
135/155/185/205/225/255/275/295/315
Started with higher reps and 275-315 were singles

Bent over DB row: 50/60/60x10

Lat pulldown/bicep curls/hammy curls: circuit giant set for 4 sets of 10-15

Had to get my shower done because they were having a fire drill(gyms attached to the school) and i didnt want to run, stop then run again.  Will walk at work

I tried the breathing technique on my singles and i felt more planted and more upright.  I got my big belly then the last breath through the mouth helped keep me upright.

Weight is also 270ish
Reason: didnt take any big poops yesterday at work or this morning, probably the same weight
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

i usually breathe in as much as possible through my nose.. never tried THEN breathing in through the mouth... i mean i'm trying it now and I can't get much air (one small breath) in through my mouth after breathing in as much as possible through my nose.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 14, 2016, 06:15:53 pm
yeah just a tad bit more air, when I do it I feel a bit more tighter than just breathing in through the nose. 

These people cant stop having food parties here

4 eggs
50gram protein shakex2
coffee
chicken breast saladx2
chinese food(500 calories worth probably)
Half a sub, no mayo with minimal sauce

I think that is it for the day.

Will switch next week from salads to just chicken breast and veggies.  Im probably using too much dressing.

I will check my weight by friday and if I'm still up then I will drop my calories down to 2300.  Will take a massive shit beforehand though.

Flat DB press: 60/70/80/90x10
Machine shoulder press  drop set
DB extensions
DB OH press up to 60s

1 mile run I think.

It's probably a combination of being inside and having 2g since my 10gs are used up that screwed up both my strava and map my walk.  I was jogging and it had me at a 30 minutes mile pace lol. I ran probably 12 minutes at a 10 mins pace.

Today is off, just going to relax and try to focus on keeping 1 full day of a diet.

Going to buy peanuts, steak, more 0 calouie drinks, chicken and veggies..eggs too with something to cheat with everyday that won't make me feel too bad but satisfy the cravings. I think adding inew more carbs killed my suppressed appetite so will try low carb again and see how it works out.

10lbs veggies
8lbs chicken
52 eggs
Fiber gummies
Drink
8 count bfast burrito
Milk
French vanilla Creamer
Total like 72 dollars and that's like 25 bottles of flavored water haha

Not too bad since the fiber gummies was 10 dollars, the milk and creamer weren't necessary so I would have been in the 50 dollar range but I forgot fat source but I have some peanut butter here.

when you got more lbs. veggies than meat/chicken.....  :highfive: nice!

i'm about to go food shopping soon too.. i think i'm going to try and eat lighter/cleaner than I have been. A few of these stir fry meals with whole wheat couscous really bloated up my gut. I'm going to avoid wheat and grains this week.

i might get some eggs too.

Yeah haha, i only got 8lbs of chicken because I have 3lbs marinating in the fridge now haha.

I have to just go through 1 day of clean eating and I'll be able to stick with it like last time with 1 "cheat meal" per day with the bfast burrito

I am backed up as fuck wow gross time, i started just having to dump today like a mofo and the fiber gummies kicked in.  I actually think i was a bit heavier this week because i had a shit baby in me lol

3 whole eggs
2 egg whites
1 peach

Trick for egg whites:  break the shell like normal and put the egg in a bowl.  Use a plastic bottle to squeeze on top of the yolk and it'll suck the yolk up into the bottle.

I have 3lbs of chicken cooked with 5lbs marinating.  Will make salads later.

I also did 4 miles today walking.
I plan on doing my outlined plan for a full week and if I don't even see the noon results then I'll cut back on lifting and do more running.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

2 bfast burrito
5 eggs
1 peach
1 55g protein shake
1 55g protein shake at 1:30
For tonight
Chicken breast Salad, with veggies
I'm looking at 2300 calories or so.

I weighed in at 267 without shoes and I normally have shoes on.  Mine are light so I figured I just took in a couple of my shoes so that's probably right.

My shit game is on point,  I'll weigh myself and take off a few to accommodate for the food and water weight I just took in so it'll be close to what I weigh after working out.

Bench: feet up with minimal arch ( whatever was from tucking my shoulder blades)
95/135/165/185/205/225/245/255/265/275
10 reps to 5 from 95 to 225 then triples

DB flyes: 35/45/55x15-10
DB Front/side/bent over raise: 25/30/35x10

Triceps

1 mile jog at 11:35 pace then 12 minute 4 incline walk at 3mph

Walk around the track for 15 minutes

Lat pulldowown: went heavy

Single leg curls: went heavy

Biceps curls: went heavy

1 mile run

I had mcdonald's last night.  I accidentally took in a lot of coffee along with my weightloss pills that I found yesterday and started to get all energized and shit.  I figured it was best to get more food in me so I could relax and sleep

Exactly haha. This time it's been harder to get on the diet and stay with it.  Last time i pretty much hopped on no problem.  It doesn't help that lately my work has constant food parties.   Granted I should show restraint but they typically don't shut up and stop asking me if I want food until I give in.  It's incredibly annoying.

Going to be better today.

Had 6 eggs and Idk 4oz of steak.  Before my walk I'll take in a protein shake then I'll figure out the rest later.

2ND walk down
4.5 miles total

Lol I just meant with the food I have and buying my suppers from the store in my town.  I don't feel like driving out to the walmarts

So new plan

Running: sat,sun,mon,tues,thurs,Fri
Weights: Wednesday full body

Bench: small increments to 275x4 then 225 and 135 close grip
DB flyes: 40/50/55/60x10
Oh machine drop set

2 mile jog

I will plan out my runs for the rest of the week.

I noticed I have a bigger appetite when lifting and I need to get rid of my tits

So

Mon: 2 mile
Tuesdsy: 2 mile
Wed: weights/ walk
Thurs: 2 miles
Fri: 2 miles
Sat: 2 miles
Sun: 5 mile walk.

All on treadmills because it's a bit more forgiving and I don't want my previous aches and injuries coming back too soon.

My high school had to cancel a football game due to ineligible players.

The older ones made the younger players run naked and if they didn't they had to eat a cookie out of someone's ass.

What about football makes players so gay?

it's not really "gay" though, it's really just dominance through sexual perversion. I'm sure most gay people would find that stupid af.

i'd also say it's immature but it isn't, stuff like that goes in on universities (fraternities etc).

i've always hated the hazing culture, never partook in any of it.. would often prevent it (in high school) when i saw it going down.. it's really just an excuse to bully people. such retards.  :uhhhfacepalm:

Nice, I'll have to bust out my spandex pants things under them,  idk if the world is ready for my thunder thighs.

So this lady, Sophia Thiel, just clicked something in my mind.  I saw her post a belly dancing video and I said I gotta get my shit together.  I feel the same way as I used to when I was pretty strict on everything.  I passed by mcdonald's without a craving last night so thats a start.  The running went good, my lower back is on fire, tomorrow i might just do 1 mile and some weights to keep on schedule. 

Official weight today was 269.0
Yesterday or the day before I was at 268 but I didnt have any major poops this morning.
So far today
4 eggs? I think
2 hashbrowns(gotta use them up)
1 brotein shake/50 grams
1x20oz coffee
1x50gram brotein shake at 1pm
Salad tonight
small bag of chips
right around 1800-2k calories so right n point.

protein is low so might buy some cheap steak on friday so i can have 1 for each day to help accommodate the protein.  Also, I will go with a max of 2 yolks for now on.  I might go with another protein shake which might put it at 2100 calories but itll put me at 200 grams.

Ran 2 miles in 22:xx

Bfast 

1x chicken sausage
1x scoop of veggies
1x serving peanuts
4or5xeggs with 2 yolks

Protein shakes later along with 1 piece of rib and veggies

Watching Luke Cage, will do a season review when I'm done with it.

From my understanding he was beaten up and brought to a place where he was placed in a tank and gained superpowers.  In the netflix series he works at a barbershop sweeping up and cleaning.  In the comics he's a superhero for hire and befriends the fantastic 4 when Dr. Doom stiffs him.  I doubt that's where the series will go but I'll do a full review later.  So far so good, has Juice from SOA, the lead I can't remember his name but he's a good actor, usually a supporting character or just in shows for an episode or two.

well for me at least.. i usually don't have to go once i get running (body seems to shut that stuff down), especially if i'm on my way to 15 miles and such.. it's usually before, just feeling uncomfortable and wanting to mentally not have to worry about it.

if you build up to 15 miles and such, i imagine it'll be similar.. going to the bathroom usually gets turned off it seems. but ya having to go while running is rare but when it happens, absolutely sucks.

Received a call for an entrance exam for the high paying job I applied for.  Taking that next week so tomorrow I gotta go out and buy a new suit and get it tailored, the following week after the exam is the first interview, then physical, fitness test and then the first day of work is November 29th.

Working 3-3 today

2 protein shakes at 58 grams each
1.5 cups veggies
4 eggs
2 chicken sausage

1.5 servings peanuts

I have nuts, veggies and steak for supper

If I get this job then it's a game changer

I will be healthier by far
In my living room will be a dreadmill and possibly join a xfit gym to do my own thing.  Idt there are too many gyms in that area or maybe I'll get into grappling again.  I think Tai Kai opened up a new gym there.  Probably do jiu-jitsu, muat Thai and boxing.   No sparing though, gotta look professional

2 mile run in 19:xx
Easy, every 5 minutes I increased the speed and only felt worn out at the end because the last .3 was like 8.5 or something.

Food will just be the usual, steak, chicken sausage,  veggies, eggs, peanuts etc etc

I have room for 1 protein shake and veggies tonight.

Going with chicken for next week, cheaper in price and calories.  The steak is killing me on calories so gotta switch to increase volume.

Got a few things to do this morning so I'll just walk around at work, put in 3 miles walking yesterday while running 2.

I probably should have died yesterday considering somehow my lug nuts came loose when I was driving on one if my wheels lol oh well.

Working til 3am so idk when I'll get to do anything tomorrow due to grocery shopping and I have to get new clothes for "business casual" just to take the test for the job.

Walk today at work, had a lot going on this morning and the gym is closed anyway.

I can't keep pulling off the walmart suits lol so I went to a local suit store owned by an Italian guy that's been doing it since the 60s.  Super professional and I came out with a suit that is noreally 900-1000 for 725 dollars with free tailoring.  The job I'm going for usually they mainly hire military but I have enough security experience so I have to do what I can to separate myself from the rest.

Tomorrow I will do a 5 mile run

Today's food consists ofor

Egg beaters (all the eggs at walmart looked bad or cracked) approximately 3 eggs worth
1 chicken sausage
1 turkey sausage, super lean
Coffee

Protein shakex4 servings

Dinner
Veggies
Chicken
Nuts

Thanks, my run tomorrow I want to get it to 55 mins should be a decent goal so 11 minute paces, maybe 10:40 pace for the first 2 miles to offset the time it takes to set everything up.  I'm tempted to go for 50 minutes idk I'll see how I feel.

My cardio is good for 5+ miles but my body isn't.  My achilles pain is back.

I think I might just stick with a 5k for my long runs until I drop to 250 then go to 4 miles and so on.  I have to stay roughly the same weight until next week, I can drop probably 10lbs which I won't but that shouldn't effect my suit if I get an interview next week.

Got an interview thank fucking god, I cant wait to leave this job for good.

Picked up my suit, fresh to death

no running, I was exhausted and my new nephew was dropped off so my brother could go to work and i got about 5 hours of sleep.

Based on when my interview is I want to run a lot the day before and do pool room work with sweats on so I dont look so fat in my face and slowly take in water before so im not dehydrated during the interview lol idk im freaking the fuck out.

Friday morning at 9am so thursday I will go Bananas for my run and gym stuff and just drink enough water(I tend to drink way more than I need to anyway) Load up on carbs at around 7am and I should be good to go.

Tomorrow I have to do another damn 12 hour shift so by tomorrow I would have already worked 40 hours, but I dont have anything to do in the AM so I will just run, shower and just head out to work.

I'm thinking about joining the Air Force reserves and get into the air traffic controller job.  The base is right at the syracuse airport which is convenient and hopefully I could get and job there while I'm serving.   I would take a year to get in shape seriously and I would have until I'm 30 to get in.  Pay starts at 123k a year so byaaah.  I have a few other options but this one seems the best for me.

Friday I ran a mile on the track, my app stopped calculating distance at .08 so it was probably 1.3 miles with some bike riding and lifting.  The weekend was also

Today was 2 mile run with cable crossover

i ran with this ironman dude last night.. surprising how "jacked" he is considering how much volume he puts in cycling / swimming / running .. but he also lifts and probably eats a ton.

i can see you eventually being like that as you "up" the cycling/running volume.

An Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC), consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, raced in that order and without a break

insanity.

That'd be a nice goal even if I came in dead last lol

I only hit 19 miles in an hour, I kept having to stand up because my ass was hurting.

Yeah for right now id like to keep lower running volume with high inclines cuz I'm still a fatty.  I'd like to work up to a 2 mile 5 incline and 6mph.  Next week I may throw in 1 or 2 flat 3 mile runs.  Basically I have at least 2.5 months to get ready which is a pretty good timeline.  I feel as though -30lbs is reasonable if I stay as consistent as I was last time. 

Also, if I ever did anything like that race, I'd probably have to hire some kind of coach haha.

ya this dude has a coach (former 4xKONA guy or something). also he's mostly done half ironman's, that's how they all start out.

I wasn't actually saying you should do an ironman btw.. but I imagine you probably want to do a half ironman and eventually an ironman or something like that at some point; those are some serious accomplishments... that swimming though. This dude swims in the ocean like 2-3 miles a few times per week.. that's mindblowing to me, lmfao. For me, the swimming basically disqualifies ironman from ever being a thought lmao.. i'm not into swimming.

but ya just keep slowly trying to up your volume while eating clean, while lifting to maintain mass .. boom.

Yeah seems like my cable and machine circuits seem fine, once I hit free weights I eat everything in sight.  Body weight and machines should do fine for now.  I'll worry about lifting when I'm 200lbs, it's easier to maintain bodyweight than it is to lose it haha.

Last week was bad with thanksgiving and a wedding.

today nothing because it took longer than expected to get my car winter ready and i had to go out of my way to return the tuxs before work.

Normal workout tomorrow, a lot of body weight stuff, machines, dumbbells, running.

I have the fitness test again for the county(the one i already did but have to do again because i took myself off the list to wait to see what happened with another county)  Its not a pass or fail, just kind of do it and see what happens.

I am thinking about just doing it because right away i can make good money and if i went the paramedic route, itd be about 2 years until i made what id make starting february. 

Anyway that one is just how many push ups can you do to failure, 1.5 mile run test(not going to take it too serious) and sit ups in a minute which is just horrendous for me and always has been.

2+ mi swim in 1h:05m:30s

guh that's pretty insane.

I ran for 25 or 30 minutes on the track, i mean it was slow but consistent and i didnt feel worn out.  I'm not looking to try and beat my time from last time i did the fitness test because I cant lol

I did
Push ups 25/20/10/10/5 with slow negatives
db work, 2 sets of 70x10 and 80x10
a lot of tricep work

Figured id get a heavy stimulus early on so hopefully i wont feel like a puss when i try to do the push up portion on friday.  Sit ups on the other hand, no point, im just going to wing it.

I want to do 1 more track run tomorrow, thursday will be a treadmill run and friday is the test.

Tomorrow will be idk .5 miles/walk 2 laps--.5 miles/walk 2 laps and just do that for 30-40 minutes

Thursday will be just a 1.5 mile run at idk maybe ill do 6mph.

I definitely feel like the incline running did help out quite a bit.

My goal is 240-245 by february, I hopped back on my diet the best I could starting today(had emergency situations this morning that prevented me from eating at normal times)

I had 1 protein shake: 1 serving of Cashew Milk, 3 servings of brotein(80g protein roughly)
1 Lenny and Larrys vegan cookie: 32g protein, 53g carbs I think

Rotisserie chicken:  combined with what i ate earlier and what im about to heat up I would think its half a chicken with a lot of veggies and a wheat roll because they are amazing.

So lets break it down to me doing that in 1 wk
16 mile bike rides a day
3.7 miles running per day
.3 miles swam per day.

Thats nuts

When I get in better shape, I actually want to try that..well I'd have to start off with 6 days a wk because of the gym being closed on sundays.

woke up and felt sick AF, I basically slept all day before work.

WOrk til 11 then i gotta get up tomorrow and work at 7am so i can make the fitness test at 5pm tomorrow.  Its going to be awful with the lack of sleep, lack of conditioning and lack of feeling good.

I still need to think about it because I will be switching my shifts to overnights here pretty soon which i hate.  Switching to overnights will allow me to do the EMT class if I  choose to go that route. 

It will basically be a job that will eventually allow me to open a laundromat lol  It's a business that basically runs itself, just gotta fix the machines, do the business side, take quarters and refill the detergent dispenser.  Granted I will need a hefty down payment for a small to medium sized one.

Post by: John Stamos on December 02, 2016, 12:47:38 pm
Not gonna do the fitness test.  Pretty much retiring from getting into law enforcement.

Goal is the basic Emt course in January.  After a year I can take the Advanced EMT-Critical Care.  After that I can go paramedic if I choose but I want to go to college for the PTA program.

Tomorrow will be some kind of running.   Soon I will be working out in the morning still but I'll be workin overnights so I expect my performance to drop until I get used to it.

Since I don't have any limitations anymore as far as timelines and what not, I can plan a dope ass workout plan.

-This time around I will incorporate around 4hrs a wk of walking on an incline.
-Run 10-12 miles a wk
-bike 3x a wk
-lift 3x a wk (push, pull, squat)

Next wk will be missed on Tuesday because I have to do a 16hr shift.

So example

Monday

Runx1 mile
Walkx30 minutes
Bench bb, DB work for chest and shoulder, push ups and machine.
Bikex30 minutes.

Tuesday
Runx3 miles
Walkx1.5hrs

Wed
Runx2 miles
Pull day
Walkx30 minutes
Bikex30 mins

Thursday
Runx 2 miles
Walkx1hr

Friday
Runx2 miles
Squat
Walkx30 mins
Bikex30 mins

a thought: those are either super long workouts, or you're committing to multiple workouts per day. personally i've never been able to sustain multiple workouts per day, even a couple of days per week, for more than a few weeks. life just gets in the way, i get derailed, and then i say fuck it. skipping feels bad and is demotivating. much easier for me to commit to fewer workouts and then do them really consistently.

that's just my n=1, but you might have an easier time staying on your grind if you're a little less ambitious. forget about the running, for example, and just do something like:

day 1: push day, walk x 60 mins
day 2: bike x 30-60 mins
day 3: pull day, walk x 60 mins
day 4: bike x 30-60 mins
day 5: squat, walk x 60 mins
day 6: rest or bike/walk if you feel like it
day 7: rest or bike/walk if you feel like it

Yeah yours is a lot better lol. I went overboard with mine.

Bench: 135/165/185/205/210/220
Started out with 10+reps and I ended up at like 6 to8 at 220.  No leg drive
215-135 drop set.  Idk the reps but they were low

Hex DB press: 40/50/40x10

Cable flyes upper and lowerx3x10

Tricep push downs with rope and vbarx3x10
Rope@70lbs
Vbar@100-160lbs

Side raise@20-35/5lb increases.

day 6: rest or bike/walk if you feel like it
day 7: rest or bike/walk if you feel like it

x2

but i'd still try to get in some running ~2x/week.. even if it's just the 1-mile run (or longer if you feel great) + walk the remainder form. Even just a little bit of consistent sustained running is going to be a big benefit & i'm sure Stamos will want to run more in the future - so IMHO it'd be a good idea to get in a little bit during the week.

I also personally prefer a combo of push/pull/lower on each day (so M-W-F).. but that's just me.

The best thing for Stamos would be to find the most basic routine (given his schedule) and just try to stay completely consistent with it. IMHO, juggling all kinds of different routines is tough - I personally think sticking to just a few things works the best. For example, if someone wanted to build their legs / leg strength and ALL THEY DID was squat, i'd prefer that over lots of variety.. To me, squat-squat-squat beats variety-of-leg-exercises-and-switching-things-up-alot.. Same idea for cardio.. Picking multiple things is fine (run/walk/bike) but it's just all of the extra WOD/randomness which interferes IMHO.

Variety/switching things up is definitely 'more fun', but I think it's less optimal when it comes to making optimal gains.

I went off on a tangent, but just my 2 cents.



Also, 2x/day only works for a short period anyway (unless you're getting paid as an athlete) - even then, it could cause more harm than benefit. So 2x/day for 2 weeks could be enough to get you laser focused and force your system to adapt, but then after that short period is over, it makes more sense to utilize more rest (as a training methodology itself) in order to boost adaptation/recovery/performance.

It's funny how we (most of the time) don't think of "rest" as a training tool... when it most definitely is.



I guess in the end, if we can do less and achieve more, that's always the BEST option.. Simply being addicted to training for the sake of training is fine for most people, but when you have real performance goals etc, it's a much better idea to figure out how to achieve them by doing LESS work instead of MORE work.. This efficiency is very important. It's much easier to go out and try to BRUTE FORCE gains day-in-day-out, tons of volume, tons of training, insane effort .... but soooooooooo many people already do that and go nowhere - mostly fitness addicts.. Their CNS's are toast. :ninja:



The performance algorithm in its' most simple form is a balancing act between: quality vs quantity.

An push/pull/squat m,w,f is doable.  I just wanted to have days with just cardio so I figured 3x a wk is enough.  I'll try it on Wednesday as far as upper body I'll do bw and machines with DB shoulder press since i didn't do is didn't today.

Mondays could be the big 3, wed and fri could be accessory work.

I could do 1 mile a day, it acts as a good warm up.

Tomorrow I wont be able to do anything, getting home tonight near midnight and then i gotta get up at 530 to come back to work for a 16hr shift.

So my workouts this week will just be pushed off by 1 day.

Nothing today, slept for 11 hours or so and I was just tired as fuck.

Tomorrow is a 1 mile run, pull day(usually short just back and bis) and 1 hour walk.

True that, I'll try to come up with an outline for what i will do on my workout days throwing in full bod workouts.

Rep schemes will be

Squats: 5 reps, just work up to see where i am at, wont go too heavy so im struggling towards the end of the set.
Hammy curls: 3-5 sets of 10 or until they cramp up.
3x10 for chest, boulders, back, and arms will be different, multiple sets and around 10 reps but increase in weight with minimal rest.

Day 1 weights
Squat
Bench
Deadlift
- Bench will be higher reps, maybe do working sets of 8 but do a lot of in between sets to warm up properly
- Squat will be work up to a barely comfortable set of 5
- Deadlift will be 5 reps or less, I get migraines on reps higher than 5 on deadlifts

Day 2 weights
DB Front squat
Stiff leg deads
Hex press(db)
DB flyes
BB OH press
Cable side raise
DB Bent over row
Lat pulldown(ill just use different handles for each day)
Cable curl
DB extensions
Sets are 3-4x10-15

then day 3 is what ill be doing tomorrow.

ill throw in a 1 mile run each day and throw in the walking and biking where LBSS and Adarq said to.


day 1: 1 mile run, Weights, walk x 60 mins
day 2: 1 mile run, bike x 30-60 mins
day 3: 1 mile run, Weights, walk x 60 mins
day 4: 1 mile run, bike x 30-60 mins
day 5: 1 mile run, weights, walk x 60 mins
day 6: rest or bike/walk if you feel like it
day 7: rest or bike/walk if you feel like it

If I do a short rest type of deal(usually what i do) then the workuts will be just under 2 hours but thats fine, I like my walks.

Waiting for the F8 of the Furious trailer to debut (fast 8)

In the mean time I just got done with
The Magnificent 7

Starring Chris Pratt, Denzel, hot girl that looks like Jennifer Lawrence and Ethan Hawke.

Synopsis

Western movie about a guy with an army who is taking over a town for the mines.  He goes off somewhere and says he'll be back in 3 wks.  Anyone who doesn't sign over their land and surrender dies.  Hot girl and friend hire Denzel who recruits other mercenary types to defend their town.

Great movie, it's 2 hours long but definitely keeps you occupied enough so it doesn't feel like it's dragging on.  The acting is on point, the one fat guy in it is weird.   He's the same guy in law and order Criminal intent.  He has some weird twitch or something idk, it was distracting.

For a modern western it's a 5/5, it starts of serious then goes into a comedy feel to it then back to serious/comedy.

Made it to the gym and I feel shitty but better than yesterday.  I have to be home by 930 for a car appointment so my cardio will just be whatever I can fit in.

Taking a pre dump and someone before me took the stankest shit, it's horrendous.

Anyway this is my last normal day and time work, tomorrow I start 2200-0700 and it'll either be better workout wise because I don't have to wake up for the gym anymore or it'll suck.

225x4
0 leg drive and the first 3 felt east on 225 and the last one just hit me like a wallot

Seated row
Felt pain in my lower back and upper glutes on my left side during bench so I decided against deadlift ingredients.

1 mile run to start it off.

Also the car is a Yenko Camaro, Yenko was a performance deal like what Hennessey is today.  They took cars and did their own performance upgrades and decals on them.  Right now a numbers matching original Yenko averages 60k to I've seen as much as 500k.

I definitely want to buy something like a Nova for next and build a racecar.

Eating medicine, eggs and ice cream to soooth my throat.

Also had 1 protein shake, 1 larry and lennys vegan cookie, have more carrots and chicken cooked for tonight.

Figured I'd just rest and recover.  My cold is pretty much gone for the most part so hopefully tomorrow morning after work I can put in a diesel workout. I have a interview at noon but Idk I'll be exhausted but I may as well. 

Back tracking on my no more law enforcement jobs lol. Probably going to go back to the state. Workouts won't change considering I need to focus on weightloss and preserving muscle.  It'll still be a year at least until I'd have to go so it's a better timeline than the usual 2 wks I usually have lol.

Basically get lean and beast mode on bodyweight stuff.

Cruisin around the interwebs and I checked the weather.  On the main page I saw a picture of a guy i used to work with at my last site last year, turns out he got arrested for sleeping with an inmate(he was a county CO).  The charges are rape and what not but i'm not sure if thats just what they classify it as or if he legit raped her.

What I find hilarious is that he got sent to the same jail that he worked at, talk about embarrassing.

Executive decision to skip the gym.  A few hours before I left work I got hit with a blizzard warning.  95% of my drive home was a whiteout
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 15, 2016, 11:06:55 pm
Almost had to call off tonight and call off the workout tomorrow.  My car doors were completely frozen and my locks were completely frozen.  After my mechanical skills of kicking the door and praying that the locks would unfreeze it finally opened

Well i went back out and it locked on me again even though i left it unlocked.  This time i had to pour hot water on the door to get it to unlock and left the window open so i can reach in and just unlock it with my hand.  Not too sure if i want to leave my car at the gym for it to just lock on me again.  Will push the damn workout to saturday and drive my other car so i wont have to worry about it.

Yeah it was a nasty storm, felt like 0 outside and 4 people died I believe.  A woman drove into the lake, car slid into a snow plow and an 18 year old died, 2 people crashed into a Buick and they died.  Wasn't pleasant, I had people almost hit made too but my forester is diesel as fuck in the snow.

I drew up a measurement chart to keep track of my chest, gut, weight, waist, arms and quad.

Also, my weight goal by may is 235 to 240.

Tomorrow is the big 3 and cardio, Tuesday is only biking so what I'll do is just walk more at work.  I have to work 11pm Monday to 11am Tuesday and I'll be exhausted.

Other than that it should be a normal week and Xmas week idk what's going on.

Post by: John Stamos on December 19, 2016, 03:31:24 am
325 AM and I'm feeling pretty good.  I slept maybe an hour during the day so I'm wondering if my eating schedule change helped.  Last wk I ate during the day then early morning like normal.  Tonight I ate at well 830pm, 1230am, 2am and will have a protein shake at 7 am.

I want to work with 290 to 300 on squats today, the other 2 I don't really care how heavy I go as long as I hit my reps.   I hope one day I'll get to 210-220 while hitting old squat numbers  ( 315x20+, 365x15, 405x10)

If I can get those numbers at 220lbs or less I'll be flying.  I could dunk off 2ft with an oop rockin  a 380x1 full squat high bar.

Todayz Goalz

Skwaat
275x5, if i can then multiple sets

Bench: 225x6+
Deadlift: blah lol idk it will be terrible though, may go until grip fails and throw on straps
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 19, 2016, 09:45:51 am
Soreness in legs: MAX

Squats
95/135/165/185/225/275x5/280x5/285x1 bad cramp

Bench: 95/135/165/185/205/225x2x6,3
Feet up, no leg drive, no arch and 2 second pause

Deadlift lol
Worked up to 355, form felt completely off and I just did double overhand, my over under tends to be a lot stringer but felt a pain in my traps

Bike: 10 miles

I will base my numbers off my workout between next Monday and the following monday..well cuz of Xmas the next powerlifting day, probably that Tuesday.  Usually takes me 4 to 6 weeks to get noob gains back and then I can see where I am really at.  For squat I want to possibly stick with a 5x5, bench I can go with 5x5,3x5 and rotate and deadlift...just pull.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 21, 2016, 02:33:05 am
I think today will just be 30 reps for each exercise so possibly 2x20.  Hopefully it will make the workout go quicker because i just want to go home and sleep right now haha.

Lat pulldown: 1 warm up, 135x2x20

DB chest flies: 30x2x20
DB side raise: 25x2x20
DB curls: 35x1x20
DB hammer curls: 35x1x20
I feel light headed and sick.  It's because it was on an empty stomach and lack of sleep.

My back was sore from the fsquatz so I did 1 back movement, the other single movements was because I felt sick.

Gonna track my food again, this weird eating schedule is throwing me off.

2 hot dogs at 2am( no bun or toppings)
1 chicken breast with it
1 burger and 1 fish (the control room guys at work cooked food for everyone)

I'll probably eat 1 more time today before I eat again tomorrow morning.

Oh yeah I had a frappe too, I didn't know what it was but the peppermint mocha machine was broke.

Today is my run/walk.  I'll run a mile and just transition into the walk for the rest of the hour.
will do some body weight stuff and triceps since i skipped them yesterday.

I slept like a baby considering how worn out I was when i got done with my workout.  It wasnt a challenging workout just felt awful and i was shaking but more like a shiver without being cold.

Run at 12 minute pace, just a nice and easy one but right now since i havent done it in awhile it's still kinda bad haha   I felt my lower back tighten up yesterday.
walk at 3.5 at a 4 incline or so.

I have more motivation to show up to the gym now because  I slept like a baby yesterday.

I will see if I hit the weights tomorrow or if it'll just be another active recovery.  I woke up and DOMS hit me hard.  My lats are so sore that my arms were pinned to my sides.  They've loosened a little bit but still awful.

yeah I will just walk tonight and move the workout to saturday or just next week.  Shit is hurting and its even going into my tricep.

Holy fuck am I tired, I just keep going in and out of sleep since 5 and I still have 50 minutes to go.  The gym isn't closed tomorrow so i will just do my workout then.  Also tomorrow is my first body measurement check which probably wont change much, if anything I will probably increase lol  I've noticed since I started working overnights I dont drink as much water as I was before so I have increased my water intake which will make me a little bigger.  I guess I should track my water also..i will do that tomorrow because i dont know how much I have drank already.

Yesterday I ended with like 2300 calories, i dont know my macros but they probably werent very good.
Food so far today

1am: 4 eggs, 3oz eye of round steak, green beans and some pretzels. 
6am: roughly 600 calories for the day.
Lunch: 50gram protein shake, chicken, veggies
             -roughly 1000 calories
Dinner: Beats me hombre.  I might pick up something at walmart for supper

I did idk the majority of my workout

Bike x 20 mins
Circuit on lat pulldown including chest and triceps
DB Biceps
Machine chest press
Immediately started to feel sick and light headed.  Walked ...hauled ass to the bathroom and puked and laid down on the floor.  Taking a dump now, just started to sweat heavily and feel weak.

I didn't eat beforehand so that might be it.

Later will do push ups and bw squats.

Took my measurements

Quads and arms the same.

Why there was a significant drop for my gut and waist idk.

I lied, my arms were up an inch but it was a pump.

Probably nothing tomorrow

Working 11-6pm today then I have to go back in tonight from 11pm to 7am and I will just be way too tired so my workout week will begin on tuesday.

I just bought an indoor bike trainer for days when i am too tired to go to the gym or its closed or the days where I am just going on the bike so I dont have to go to the gym.  I can hop on my bike in my room, ride along and watch some netflix byaah

Also, the show Jean-Claude Van Johnson on Amazon Prime is fucking epic

are you asking about my terminology?  I'll just claim upstate new yorker for my use of dope lol  But yeah that was the first snow fall in the Sahara in 37 years or some shit.

I also received an air fryer, pretty much deep fries your food without using oil or very little.  The one I got doesnt require oil i believe.

no i was saying those pics were dope.. i forgot you even used 'dope' in your original comment.. i can see how one could be confused hah.

also lol @ the air fryer .. pretty cool tho

i'm more interested in your air fryer than your bike stand  :ninja:, you use it yet?

I remember I got an 'egg wave' for christmas waaaaaay back, was a total disaster.. basically nuked my microwave with eggs when I tried it out.. it was like a bomb. LMFAO.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 27, 2016, 11:36:17 pm
lol yeah

The Air Fryer is awesome, I cooked a steak in it earlier which took about 15 minutes for medium rare.  It stayed moist and seemed to keep most of the flavoring on it.  Just flip your steak or burger or whatever half way through and you're golden.

You have 1 nob on top for the degrees which goes up to 400 and one below for the timer so it's pretty easy to use.  i watched videos of people cooking breaded chicken in it and they didn't look as good as a deep fryer but they still said in the video that it tasted the same without the oily taste.

I can just do before and after pics of food that I cook in it.  Eggs look easy to cook in them and everything else, its nice not having to stand by the stove.  They just say no greasy foods but I've seen people cook bacon in them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1OJpT_F7LA

I thought he was going to cook an egg in it but what you gotta do is just get a oven safe bowl and put the eggs in it and just throw it in, 200 degrees for 5 minutes for a sunny side up.

Mine was 80 bucks and so far it seems like itll make things easier.  I will cook chicken in it later in the day to see how that goes but I cooked up 2lbs of steak easily before work.  I think it was in there for 20 minutes.

I have the indoor bike thing set up.

Cons
It's noisy
It says 5 levels of resistance but it feels like only one.

It's not too bad though, it'll be good for days I get lazy

Food today is steak, sausage, veggies, some noodle stuff and a broccoli mixture thing.  Tomorrow will be soup, steak, veggies while I'm at work.  I gotta eat around 1am then 6am so I'm ready for the gym.

Tomorrow is dumbbell work for the most part with a few barbell movements

db squats-2x20
BB RDL
DB Row
Lat pulldown
DB press
DB fly
DB side raise
DB OH press
DB curls for girls
DB extensions
Push ups

So looking at all that, I can make some giant sets so I am not there for forever.

Giant Set 1
db squats-2x20
BB RDL
DB Row

Giant set 2
DB press
DB fly
DB side raise
DB OH press

Giant set 3
DB curls for girls
DB extensions
Push ups

end with lat pulldowns

all 2x20 for cardio purposes

I also want to throw in wall balls 3x a week, they helped keep flexibility win my cankles and hip flexors.  I have been squatting deeper than parallel but if i can stay loose then I should be able to squat deepa

Adarq, is there a way we can get the option where you just click browse then upload for pics?  I'd probably end up taking pics of the food that comes out of the air fryer for comparison and what not if I could.  if not then I'd probably have to find something to upload them to then do the normal way.

Edit on my workout

Thinking about throwing some crossfit into the giant sets

23-17-10 so i can get 50 reps

I'm curious if my BMR is increasing or something.  I ate at like 2am and currently its 4:36 and I am hungry AF, feeling like I havent eaten anything for idk 12 hours or some shit.

 I ate at 5:00 AM
Steakx5oz or so and quite a bit of veggies, felt full
currently at 5:42 I feel hungry again.

That was a bad idea

I ran a mile

First circuit my lower back tightened up and now it's super tight on my right side and oblique

Did chest press after that but I'm going to hit the showers and get some heat on it and pick up some bengay
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 29, 2016, 09:06:23 am
Bengay and burritos
After my shower it felt a lot better, as long a I feel good when I wake up I will finish the workout tomorrow.

Post by: John Stamos on December 29, 2016, 01:30:40 pm
I think it was just a Supa pump, feels fine but will just get a full body warm up and hit 3x10 circuits that I made up already tomorrow.

I've pretty much decided on the state job again.  Last time I had a previous groin strain about 2 months before the academy and it happened again while I was there.
This time I will make sure I
1) get to a reasonable bodyweight of around 210 at least
2) become a bodyweight ninja
3) go to the academy before summer or after summer, shit was too hot last time
4) learn to military press uniforms, hem pants and shine boots properly.  Doing this will allow me to sleep at night.

The chicken looks dry but is moist on the inside
and took about 20 minutes to cook.  Also, tastes like it was cooked on the stove

Steak tastes amazing, tastes like it was cooked on the stove in a ton of oil.  The steak took like 15 minutes for medium rare.

Back is getting sore, will do everything I can at the gym but just do it seated.

Watching a lot of CF videos lately, currently watching the one on netflix about the 2015 games.

I think I might want to try it again once I can build a home gym.

With the whole #highrepnation going on, I want to pick a CF workout to do in the future that is most relatable to what high reps stuff I do.

Once a month I might take my Big 3 day and just pick a weight and do AMRAP in 5 minutes or something.  One more month of prep and then ill start doing that crazy stuff.  I eventually want to throw in cleans just for trap development and snatches but just light weight.

The bench has been weird lately so I will just go to near failure and I haven't done a lot of deadlifting so idk how many reps at 315 I can do which will be near failure.

The chick that won was pretty small, i think maybe for guys they should because anyone 220 and up cant compete, too many gymnastic movements and other bw movements where bodyweight is a huge factor.

How many minutes of rest between  sets for the bench and squat?
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 02, 2017, 02:42:08 pm
How many minutes of rest between  sets for the bench and squat?

Bench would be about 1/2 minute and squats are about a minute. I prefer low rest periods because overtime I'd get used to be able to recover a lot faster.  Back when I squatted 500 then 525 I probably had about a minutes rest.  I'm a fatty also so the low rest periods help with a cardio feel to the weights.  I'm still getting my noob gains so it could change in a few weeks.

30 seconds wtf? :ninja:

my 2 cents.. increase rest if you're doing a strength set/rep scheme. If you were doing tons of volume at lower intensity (ie, 10-15 sets of 5 @ 10RM), i think it'd make more sense from a 'cardio perspective' to use 30s rest intervals. For 3x10 and such, ~1 minute is probably ok. I'm just stating my personal opinion. If i'm lifting heavy, I usually utilize ~3-5 minute rest periods (more on the 3min side). Just finish the session with actual cardio for ~30 minutes and you'll burn way more calories/get a better effect than reducing rest periods (in a low volume routine). I guess the way I look at it is, trying to achieve an energy system effect while utilizing opposing energy systems, is much less effective than focusing properly on an energy system, then focusing on the other. So, for example, hitting your strength work with proper recovery - more quality + less taxing. Then hitting some aerobic cardio for ~30 minutes. By taxing yourself less during strength work, you'll have more drive/focus for cardio... stuff like that.

dno just yappin`

Yeah it just feels like I "cool down" fast and if I do a 3 minute rest it feels like crap.  The only time I'll take longer is if I have to stretch.

Todays workout will be weird, I am leaving at 3am instead of normal 7am since it is bonus time for our manager and cutting peoples overtime will make his check bigger even though hes a massive douche bag.

So i will be going to the gym, I slept a lot today so hopefully i can sleep from 3:30 to 8:00

DB OH press
Shrugz
BB RDL
Hammy curlz
DB press
DB flyes
Lat pulldown
Seated Row
cable tricep work
db curls

3x10 circuits but not a crossfit way like last time where i got the supa pump in my back and had to end it early.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 04, 2017, 11:22:35 am
I pretty much did that workout I outlined.  Felt good and as far as numbers go

RDL worked up to 225 for a set of 10 the 15
DB OH PRESS worked up your 60s
DB press was 80s and nothing else really matters as far as numbers are concerned.

Cardio will just be me walking around at work tonight.

Food was 4 eggs, steak, .5 rice cake and mcdonald's this morning.

In my defense, I ate once yesterday and woke up at 10pm which is when I leave for work so I didn't have time to prepare food.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 05, 2017, 11:41:49 pm
So i have some DB work and a lot of cable work tomorrow, I want to go diesel on Back and arms.  My wheelz are feeling rough still so I may just do a 2x20 with machines to get a supa pump and get some blood flowing to them. 

BB upright row: 2x20
DB side raise:2x20
Cable flyes:3x10
push ups3xburn out
lat pulldowns: working heavy and ending with a supa high rep burnout set with 1 rest pause
DB row: 3x10
Cable work for triceps:3xwhatever
EZ bar curls:3x whatever
single arm preacher curls: 3xwhatever
Hammy curlz: multiple single leg ending with a double leg
leg extension: 2x10 normal, after 10 reps i will go into partial reps for 10

I'm sure theres more but I will figure it out

I've been a cookie monster this weekend(well my kind of weekend) and my digestion has been shit lately(no pun intended)

I'm shopping tomorrow so I am going to try and do 5 meals a day again, each 400 calories with 2 Brotein Shakes

My meals for work x 2, 1 at night

Red potatoes, 1 potater
3 servings of Aspearagus
1 cup broccoli
Eye of Round steak x 6 ounces
Protein: 44 grams, Fat: 13.7, 42.7 grams of carbs
475 calories or so.
I will just switch out my proteins when I get sick of it like I will make small burgers, plain

protein shakes 2x when I first wake up and when I wake up a second time.

Chunky soup x 1 each day

so far 1437 calories

I threw in chicken and its up to 1682, idk I will keep it at that cuz I am sure itll leave enough room for me to be safe.

I guess it'll be 4 meals with 2 protein shakes

Fuck I was going on about how much it'll cost and I was like how the fuck is it costing this much?  Well I forgot all about eggs.

Idk I'll just go shopping and get home and figure it out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 07, 2017, 04:34:59 pm
Meal 1
Chicken
Broccoli/veggies
Aspearagus
Eggs

Meal 2
Steak
Red potatoes

Meal 3
Ground beef
Eggs

Meal 4
Protein shake

Meal 5
Protein shake

Meal 6
Soup

Total 1800 something calories

218g protein
106 carb
65 fat

Assume I burn 2300 calories at rest (I think it's more) and throw on an extra 400 for the workout that's 2700 calories burned per day.

Almost 2000k(1960 or something) consumed so 700 deficit per day, 5000 per week so I'm hoping with cardio it'll be up to 7k
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 07, 2017, 05:52:43 pm
Another idea

Off days (Tues, Thurs, sat)
30 min walk or bike
1 WOD, same wod just different variations

(http://therxreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/CrossFit-14.2-Workout-Standards.png)

Continue every 3 minutes until failure adding 2 reps each round.

Day 1
Hang clean
Push ups

Day 2
OH SKWAAT
Wallball

Day 3
Thrusters
Snatch

Start with round of 4 lmao. Pathetic AF but I want to get more rounds in

Bought my food tonight and I will log how much I bought of each and then see by the end of the week where I am at so I can adjust my shopping for the following week so I dont have to shop twice a week or something.

Tonights food is

less than 1/2lb of beef with mushrooms
2 clementines
broccoli and cheese from the green giant or some shit
1/4 chicken
4 eggs
1 can of chunky soup
and I think that is it but I will update as I eat.  oh yeah rice cakes pre-workout

Twerkout tomorrow

Skwaat: 275x5x5
bench: sets of 5, not sure if I am going to use 1 set weight or just small increments
Deadlift: sets of 5


On the 14.2 workout I got to 16 mins and 18 minutes on OH squat/wall ball.  I actually forgot that I did that one awhile back and I still came up with it again so thats pretty dope.
The first time I started with a round of 6 so should be interesting to see how out of shape I am.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 09, 2017, 09:09:59 am
Weight is Jacked up but I did take in more food and fluids than normal.

Skwaaat: 275x5x5
Bench: 225x10 +2 from last week
245x3x3 paused
All with no leg drive or arch
Deadlift:  lower back Supa pumped so I did 275 for multiple doubles.

Food I've had for the day so far are my two main meals and a rice cake.  I have 2 more protein shakes later with a banana.

Looking at it, ima lower the fat and increase the protein.

I'm going to swap eggs for egg whites and throw in an extra protein shake.  This way I drop 180 calories and 20 grams of fat from 80 something to 60 something.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 09, 2017, 06:12:37 pm
I had a Bob Marley drink which is like taking sleeping pills and I was out from 10 to 5.

Had my protein shake and banana, I have 1 more protein shake before I can eat a meal again at midnight or 1.  I'll probably do 1 main meals, soup and rice cake while I'm at work and save my other meal for around this time tomorrow.

I'm also getting my brotein in tomorrow with fiber so I will be reviewing the fiber by the end of the week. 

I'm sooooooo excited for my workout today, thats one thing I miss about crossfit was the workouts were fun AF.  I can't wait to build my personal gym and I already have it priced out.  I am thinking about 30k total, I want the building to be a 3 car garage/pole barn but fully done so I can have it heated and what not.  The building alone might be 12-15k then however much it might cost to build it by the Amish people down the road.  The equipment will probably cost 10k or so, I looked up the Xfit packages then I want some of the rigs from Elitefts or westside barbell with some hammer press and dumbbells. 

This will be down the road when I am in the State but I will buy stuff along the way, but I am also going for a Seasonal Position at Anheuser Busch.  They Pay quite a lot, the seasonal position is just that but you pretty much wait until a full time position comes available then its just 30hr with as much OT as you want.

Did the workout

Rounds 4/6/8/10 - 135lbs
Rounds 12/14 - 95lbs

I stopped cuz i either tore open my hand and it was bleeding or I had like a blood blister or whatever it is and popped a i bled all over.  Either way I stopped to clean myself up and the bar.

Rough workout, thing that sucked was my forearms Supa pump which made the workout worse at the round of 10.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Just got my poo poo powder so I will review that after a week.

Optimum Nutrition Fiber Powder
Cost: 6 dollars
Servings: 30

Mix-ability: 10/10
Taste: it's unflavored but it's a legit unflavored.  Usually with unflavored product it tastes like toilet water but this I honestly couldnt taste anything.
Poo Poo Powa: I will let uk later

Optimum Nutrition Opti-Bar: Brownie
Taste: 10/10
         -  As far as Brownie Bars go, this one is the best and closest to a brownie that I have ever had

Joyfit Cake bar: 7/10
It was decent, kind of hard which tells me they used quite a bit of either glycerin or brown Rice syrup.

So I hate my job obviously and I am just sick of it, I'm sick of getting comfortable with being lazy there and a ton of other shit so I applied to more manual labor jobs.

Weight is up yet again, going to weigh myself before my last meal of the day after i wake up at night.  My food volume has gone up because of the broccoli and other low cal foods so I'm hoping thats it.  Also, I will drink at least 100 ounces of fluids before i get to the gym so that doesnt help either.  Honestly. the weight of the food and drink kind of makes sense for my massive weight gain.  112 ounces is 7lbs alone(soup, water, coffee) shit lets do protein shake and fiber/amino drink lol  that jacks it up to 128 ounces (8lbs) of fluid based stuff(granted ik the soup isnt all fluid) I really dont use the bathroom a lot at night either so the majority of that is still in me after my workout.  throw in the food, 9lbs roughly

I know thats all probably dumb AF but its night and I have to keep my mind going so I dont get tired

what weight are you up to? also, you're a lots-of-little-meals guy but have you considered IF'ing or tried it before?

what weight are you up to? also, you're a lots-of-little-meals guy but have you considered IF'ing or tried it before?

I started at 275 like 2 weeks ago and I jumped 10lbs at the beginning of the week, by the end of the week i dropped that (around) 10lbs and it just keeps doing that.  When I weigh myself at the beginning of the week at the gym, I have the majority of food and fluids in me since I eat the most while I am at work from 1am-6am and at the end of the week i weigh myself on saturdays early morning after I wake up without food intake.

I tried it before years back and I didn't like it, i didnt lose much and I bounced back hard.  I'm going to keep doing what I am and see where I am at by the end of next saturday so I have enough time to see if its working.  If not then I will drop my carbs and up my fat.  I figured this time around I'd keep medium carbs and low fat since I am working with weights instead of just running.

Finished round of 10 at like 12:01 so I'm done

Form was definitely killing me the first few rounds but when I warmed up more it got better.  One round I broke them up and kept the bar on to air for some reason to rest and it killed me.


95lbs definitely isn't heavy but my quads are on fire.  Going to go home, finish my meal and get some sleep

On the bike, looked up porn on accident at the gym lol

On the med ball I used a 20lber and my back was so sore I ended up getting mashed potatoes around round 8

30 double unders

Do you remember when the open starts?

I will give it a try if the gym is fairly empty tomorrow morning.  They've added a cable crossover and what not so there isn't as much room in the gym.

I think the open is and round March I'd imagine.  Ik the old Dan Bailey videos of him winning the open it was sunny out with no snow so it was before summer since they have however many weeks of the open, regionals and games are usually in july I think.

Bitches out yesterday, had to stay late at work.

Going in today to get stole

Lol stole, fucking auto correct,  yeah I'm going to the gym to get kidnapped :uhhhfacepalm:

I guess they are open on sundays now until March.  I will probably use that day as a bw xfit day.  Especially to help me sleep.

Going to do my measurements today and next week do them post workout to compare.  If I remain the same or go up then I'm cutting carbs and cycling them, 3 off 1 on.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 14, 2017, 09:31:03 am
I'll write out what I did later

Weight 284

Measurements compared from 275 to 284

Chest + 1"
Gut +.5"
Waist -1.5"
Arms +1"
Quads same

I have a hard time believing my sudden jump of 9lbs went anywhere considering I'm +1" overall after subtracting the waist loss from my gut and chest gains which on a pump would contribute to it.

Incline DB press: 60/70/80/90x10
Incline DB Fly: 30/35/40x10
BB RDL: 135/165/175/185/205x10
Shoulder press(machine): drop set
Tricep supa set on cables
Push up: 1 hand on med ball 1 hand on floor: 2 sets each side for 10
Lat pulldown: 2 different handles, lighter weight with 3 second pause at the bottom

Karen? I think
150 medball for time
So going into it, I remember I did 105 in 5 minutes a week or two back so that was my goal and just putter out the rest of the time.
105: 3:47 So I was 1min13secs faster
Heart rate was out of this world and i only did like 116 total(5min), i was fuucked up. 150 in 7 mins which is shit.  2 mins after my heart rate was still around 125bpm

Consumed today
4 eggs
nuts x 2 servings
chicken breastx1
2 pickles

Went grocery shopping, will figure out cost
4lbs of ground turkey
Chicken: 5 lbs
Broccoli x 10lbs
Flavored water drank 4 pack x 6
Flavored water singles x 6
Soupx 7
Pickles
 TOTAL
75 dollars after taxes

So it's not too bad, it is more than a weeks worth, I have enough chicken for the week, enough turkey and beef for more than a week, veggies for more than a week, fats for over 2 weeks, drank for a week.  The only thing missing are eggs but I still have enough for awhile.  This also includes the pickles which isnt a necessity, I can live without them so technically 70 dollars on the stuff i need.

Well I heard a good analogy from Dave Tate and I kind of want to explain it as it relates to my diet this time around.

Last time I had to basically put all of my eggs in the basket because I was on a strict timeline.  This time I won't need to considering I have about a year or so.

The way I am looking at my diet is like a deck of cards and each card is a change to the diet.  You only have so many options that you can do to manipulate the diet so adding and taking away cards slowly will prolong the fat loss.  The more cards you use at once the less you have later on.  I started off with basically.......

No cardio
non strict diet(poor eating choices)
piss poor workouts

So here are the cards I've implemented
Whole Eggs------>Egg Whites
Medium-high carbs----->low carbs/cycling
Low volume & intensity workout ----->Cardio Based weight training higher volume & intensity
Beef---->Turkey burgers
Little Veggies---->a lot of veggies

I implemented them throughout 4 weeks.

Cards I can throw in later on is running, diesel ass walking, more Xfit, BW circuit workouts, recovery methods such as stretching and massages, and other shit that I will try to think of

Nothing today, woke up at 530am and the plan was to stay awake and go to the gym at 10 but I passed out around 830 and slept through.  I think on sundays it's only open 10 to 2.

Tomorrow
Going to add 10lbs to the squat and start back at 285x3x5

If that goes well then next week will be 4x5 and when that feels good I'll up it to 5x5 then start over with 10lbs added.

Bench
225 rep test
3 sets of paused work increasing weight.

Deadlift
idk whatever I hate deadlifting.

Hope I don't get sick, the guard I am working with is just hacking up a fucking hairball and making nasty ass sounds all night.

Bench: 225x14 (left 2 in the tank) minimal arch just shoulder blades tucked and feet up.
245x3 paused
255x3 paused
265x1 paused felt like 85-90%

No deads, tried dbs but mid left back felt knotted.

Tomorrow, almost todays workout

E3MOM or however you will spell it out

cleans
push ups

will use 95lbs for cleans this time from the start, I can use 135 but i want to go longer than i did last time to get more work in.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 17, 2017, 08:16:01 am
7 rounds total plus 1 round of cleans and 4 push ups

Round of 18

HR by the time I got it to work it was 140 but probably145 to 150 directly after.

Took about 1 to 1.5 mins to get it to roughly 100bpm.  Improving I believe.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 18, 2017, 06:57:51 am
Trying to get to the gym but I took way too much fiber and ate too much broccoli.  This is probably my 8th trip to the restroom since midnight.

Will just hit DB work today, higher reps maybe 2x20.

Did the workout, skipped chest because my left shoulder felt tight and weak.  Went HAM on triceps which caused 0 pump in my Biceps when I did them so I'll do them tomorrow.

DB OH press 50x2x20
DB side raise with slow tempo on way down
25x2x20
Rdl 135/185/225/275x10
Low Lat cable row, 2x20
Tricep
Vbar push downs
  - start at 60 and do 20 reps going up by 1 weight plate until you miss 20, then proceed and aim for 15.  Once you fail to get 15 then go to 10, once you fail to get 10 then drop set back down 1 weight plate at a time.
Rope pushdownsx70x3x20
 Wallball for warm up.

Weight fluctuated by 2lbs idk.  I look a little leaner and my pants feel looser.

1/2 chicken breast
2 cups broccoli
2 servings unsalted nuts
1/4lb turkey(ground)
1 coffee with creamer
1 mountain dew Kickstart to wake me up.

Later will be protein, eggs, turkey, nuts or peanut butter.

Well I basically stayed in bed from 9am to 8pm so I had some dinner and cooking up chicken now.  Will have my protein shake later since I am full now.  My new tape measure that has a handle and locks in one 1 side so it's easy to get a measurement.  Tomorrow will be the xfit workout, will attempt Flanders workout also.

Also, I think after each week where I do a 5x5 I want to do a 315x? and when I work up to 315 for my main sets I will jump the weight to 355.  Sooo for example my next mini cycle
wk2 285x4x5
wk3 285x5x5(as long as i complete it without rest pause)
wk4 315x? or 315x2x?
wk5 295x3x5
wk6 295x4x5
wk7 295x5x5
wk8 315x? or 315x2x?
and so on and so forth

Post by: John Stamos on January 19, 2017, 01:59:15 am
if I can finish the round of 12 I will be happy, i dont know why I couldnt go further than that, just the thrusters will probably kill me.  I still wouldnt mind getting back into heavy thrusters in the future, I think the most I did was 255lbs.

If Flander gets back to me about if his wod was 10 mins or 10 rounds then I will do what he says, if not then I will go with 10 minutes.

So the workout is
OH squat: 95lbs or 65lbs depending on shoulder strength
wallball
the 3 minute thing

then

Amrap 10 minutes
15 power snatches 40kg(depends on my warm ups how heavy they feel, havent done a snatch in well since i ended crossfit)
30 double unders(singles, i cant do double unders)
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 19, 2017, 07:54:57 am
Did half the rounds of 14 and kids just came in so I'll push that wod to tomorrow before my normal workout.

The 20lb Wallball killed my breathing.  The OH squats felt boss form wise.  I can't say it's better than last wk cuz i used less weight but my form today combined with last week and I probably would have done better.

I didn't eat as much, half chicken, 1.5 cups broccoli, 2 servings nuts.  I forgot my turkey and I didn't eat my soup

I'm a beta tester for a new supplement called

Lean PM by Jacked Factory

Says appetite suppressant which is probably true because how often do you get hungry when you're sleeping, burn more calories and sleep and I'd

300mg green tea
10mg vit.b6
150mg magnesium
200mg L theanine
150mg 5htp
5 mg Melatonin
5 mg Black pepper fruit extract

Idk we will see how it works out.

Not sure how much melatonin is in the Bob Marley drinks but if it's close then this shit will knock me out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 21, 2017, 10:35:59 pm
Just took lean pm

Tired feeling pre supplement 6/10
I can feel it but I can stay awake longer.  Says 45 minutes before bed serving we will see how well this kicks in.

I was knocked out within 10 minutes of laying down.  With the Bob Marley drinks I usually wake up and my head feels idk weird and heavy if that makes sense lol but not with this stuff.

Shoulders feel better

Thinking of buying a 30-06 but I could possibly buy a 150lb weight vest which would be good for home squats and push ups etc etc.

Also, I took my lean pm before bed around 11am to noon and didn't do anything.  Granted I slept til 9am.  Idk if I'll get an accurate reading on this stuff until Friday since I'm usually tired AF after the gym.

What med ball do you use for Karen?

Post by: John Stamos on January 23, 2017, 08:19:10 am
What med ball do you use for Karen?

Squats: 285x4x5
Felt easier than 3x5 last wk
Push ups, 6 sets
Karen: 150 wallballs x 6:23
105 x 3:23  I think 20 seconds faster than last time and i went unbroken to 105

I use the 10lber cuz the 20lb one gets slipper when i get sweaty and ita the same size as the 10lber so its awkward to catch considering the weight.  Im looking more for continuous reps to reteach myself to push through the suck.  Physically i could have done 150 unbroken but mentallly nope.  Once i stop a long set of wallballs it hits me hard and my later sets become like sets of 10.

So my card anology

Im playing a new card

Once my soup runs out im switching out soup for another protein shake.  That will save me 35 grams of carbs and add 50 grams of protein.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 24, 2017, 11:38:55 pm
Ive made minor changes to my diet tonight.

I went with 1 serving of veggies which is 11g carbs.  Judging from what a serving looks like, ive veen having probably 5 to 8 servings.  Ill save at least 50 grams of carbs.

Idk how many cans of soup i have left but will cut them out when done which will replace 36g carvs with 50g protein. 

So my switch today from yesterday
Same protein
Fat + 15g
Carb - 20 gram but thats with only 1 cup and i probably had 2 cups at least so around 44 grams cut.

Once i cut soup i will be around 45g total.

So my food is looking like this
Macros
Carb:61 grams
Fat: 78 grams
Protein: 205 grams

I will adjust that and throw in more peanuts or eggs for protein and fat

Almond milk x 1 serving
Protein x 4 servings
Rice cake x 1 cake
Peanuts x 3.5 servings
Ground Turkey x 2.5 servings
Veggies x 2/3 cup
Chicken breast x 1
Eggs to fill in the rest of the calories
right there is about 1769 so i have a couple hundred left over to play with.

it is 239 in the morning and I am watching fat people fight in amateur MMA fights and it's interesting lol

I did some RDLs, side raise, rotator cuff work, rows, pressing, arms etc etc lol. Nothing special, weight was down due to lack of food volume.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Macros for next week

Protein: 200 grams
Carbs: 30 grams
Fats: 140grams

nothing today, I went to the gym and every single spot was taken and since it is attached to the school i cant just park in a random area because I'd be in the way of the buses so i said fuck it, I will just do the machine workout and xfit workout tomorrow.  There was 1 spot kind of open where an old person tried to park in a parking spot and got like 1/3rd of their car in the spot and said fuck it.  My car was too wide to fit in it though.


the workout

Machine work
Chest press, OH press, lat pulldowns, triceps, seated row, hammy curls
Cable work
Tricep pushdowns, flyes, rotator work, stretching
DB work
Curls for girls, trapz

xfit twerkout
21-15-9
Cleans x 135(with straps)
wallball
push ups
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 27, 2017, 08:19:24 am
Did the workout.

I think drinking my protein shake close to workout is killing my stomach when i go hard.

Time for the wod
9:28

Thats my base time to beat, i broke the rounds into
21 = 7x7x7
15 = 5x5x5
09 = Unbroken

I need to get used to 135, my first round will stay the way it is, the second round needs to be unbroken and obviously unbroken strapless for the round of 9.

Those changes alone should save a few minutes.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 27, 2017, 08:23:07 am
I feel pretty fucking good, i want to do another wod.

WOD #2
ROWER x 2 minutes
20 wallball
Rower x 1.5 mins
15 wallball
ROWER X 1 minute
10 wallball
7:33

So idk if i became one of the Xmen but i feel amazing for a fat guy and i want to do another WOD.

If my shoulders were more flexible id do Flanders snatch and jump rope one.

I think im going to go out while im ahead and eat bfast and relax.  Got a few peeps to call and gotta order a welder.  I saw some horseshoe wine racks that cost about 10 bucks to make selling for 60 dollars so i might get into building trinkets.

True that, not sure if i have showtime, limited my directv cuz i mainly use netflix.  I was going to get into boxing if they have fights on youtube.  I stopped watching the ultimate fighter awhile ago but as of late it seems like the talent is way beyond what it was in the first 10 seasons.

Theres also a show on youtube, dana white goes looking for a fight or something where he goes around the US scouting new talent.

I bought my welder and it should be delivered next week.  If i get the hang of it and i enjoy it i will probably go to the welding school in my area.  A contractor at the place i work said hed help any of us to get into his company as a boilermaker if we know how to weld.  As a boilermaker i could be upper middle class while working half the year.

So i forgot about eggs

I will do 4 eggs
So that takes away 2 servings of peanuts which will gimme around the same fat(around 100grams)

There is a sodium issue and its coming from the deli turkey. I will check the label later and see if its the same as the one in my app.

will upload the new plan, i think i got a good one and cut 1kmg sodium

Skwaaaat
285x5x5
      - Felt great, My squats leading up to this week were harder on my last few sets with lower weights and i also was going about parallel.  Todays workout though, I'd say 3 of my 5 reps were full skwaaats.

Bench: 225x10
Paused: 245x2, 255x2, 265x2, 275x2, 285x1(felt like 85%) no leg drive

DB Deadlifts: 4 sets leading up to 100lbs for sets of 10.

oh word, must have missed that. makes sense, those interfaces are annoying.

Yeah they are and not your fault, i deleted the post where i explained it.  It had my foods without eggs so i just deleted it and made a new one.

Fats are supposed to be significantly higher but i cant do that unless i jack my calories up.  2000 seemed to work good last time so after the 4th wk if im still dropping 3lbs or so then i will increase my calories accordingly to slow it down with more fats.
 No workout today, did it yesterday
Tuesday: two wods i mentioned before
Wednesday: normal
Thursday: nothing, im working wed night at 10pm to thursday afternoon at 3pm.
Friday: xfit twerkout cleans and push ups
Saturday: normal
Sunday: bike

Sucks that i bought the subie for winter cuz i got my taxes back and its just going to go towards paying it off.  I would have bought a stairmaster but oh well, we had some god awful days so far where the AWD W/studded tires worked flawlessly. Tonight at work im going to actually separate my meals to figure out when and how much ill be eating for each meal. 

I can still look up on craigslist for steppers, it should still fit in the subie.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Meal split

meal 1
1.5 servings of peanuts(I think its just a guestimation at this point, i dont have a working scale)
4 eggs, 2 whole 2 whites

Meal 2
2 serving brotein shake
(first 2 plus rice cake at work pre-workout)

meal 3
1 serving turkey
1.5 servings peanuts
1/2lb ground turkey

meal 4
1/2lb ground turkey
protein shake 1.5 servings

Workout
May do this back to back without taking a break and see if i can.

Jackie
1km row
50 thrusters x 45lbs
30 fat man pullups (inverted row)
Karen
150 wallball
   
The row will be difficult cuz when i was on it last time it wasnt registering my distance and I guess I will just go by time.  My typical 1km row when im out of shape is 3:40s so I might just go to 4mins.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 31, 2017, 05:12:46 am
Also, before I forget, I am thinking of doing 3 on 1 off.  My off day will just up the carbs to like 150 or something and decrease the fat.  Pretty much I will keep most of the stuff I will be eating and just throw in a sub and something else so not a big cheat day but it will keep me more honest and I tend to get tired AF after 3 days of low carb.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 31, 2017, 08:17:39 am
Jackie: 9:35
4min km
Thrusters, broke them up too much, piss poor flexibility
Fat mans: 3x10

Karen
9:35 to 21:35

10s at first and ended with 15s and 25s.

My cardio recovered towards the end but my lower back and legs were shot.

Pathetic but feels good to be moving.  Legs are supa pumped.

Ima walk it off, eat my meal and get some sleep.

Back to 283.6, highest when i started was 288.


Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 31, 2017, 01:34:11 pm
So im getting my old shift back thank god.  My recovery should be better with more sleep.

Also, got invited to a meet n greet + interview at budweiser, $32hr #ballinmoney #bloodgod #strippermoney #myowngym

Ive interviewed before and made it to the 4th interview and got screwed over so i dont have high hopes.

The diet is going horrendously lol  I am sticking to it but holy shit the cravings are just smacking me in the face.  Thursday cant come fast enough when i can have my cheat sub.  It comes at a good time because im doing the 16hr shift and bringing multiple meals would be hard to do considering i couldnt fit it in the mini fridge.

So this morning, long story short, pulled outta work and almost got t boned by a cop, there was a truck parked on the side of the road blocking the field of view for oncoming traffic so i said jesus take the wheel and well close call.  Killed my mood for the gym and said fuck it, had 2 slices of bfast pizza lmao fuck fuck so i ate 1 other meal and not my last one to conserve calories at least.  I have 1 meal, protein shake and sub today to last until 3, once i am home just gonna sleep until 9 and cook food for work at 11.  Depending on how tired I am I will hit the gym, if not then i will just do saturday and sunday.

in my defense i obviously couldnt see oncoming traffic and it was in the morning where its not dark but not light and the sheriff didnt have his headlights on.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 04, 2017, 06:45:24 am
So im going to do my every 3 minute workout but change it up.  My grip goes before everything else so i want to alternate between 2 Supa sets

OH press/squats
Cleans/squats (hit chest n pushup hard yesterday)

Hopefully with this I'll be able to finish round 18

Finished round 20, on 22 i finished with 2 squats remaining.  If i didnt use my strapz and my grip wouldnt fail i would have finishedit with at least 20 seconds remaining.  Overall felt good and im whooped.


So, I forgot what round it was but i used 95lbs for both clean and OH press then I switched to 75lbs for OH press(shoulders whooped from yesterday) and stayed with 95lbs for cleans for awhile until i switched to 75lbs for both so I could just keep getting in work.  Damn I feel good, lean and mean lol not exactly lean but my cardio was a lot better this time around.

Took my measurements too late in the day

Todays squat workout was meh but im going to count it as a regular workout and do 4x5 next week, I will be good by then and if i can do 3x3 feeling like a turd then 4x5 fresh should be easy.

So i carbd up like a mother fucker on friday.  I flew through my test on saturday though.  I either became an xman when i ate all the carbs or they made the test easier.  I had no issues with the memory portion so thats good.  Today i am going back on my diet.

Food
3 eggs
1 slice of cheese
Coffee
Going to go see john wick 2 with my brother and he loves chilis for whatever reason.
Will be getting the classic sirloin with steamed veggies.  The sirloin is 55g protein, 2 carbs and 19 fat.

Went with the sirloin, Aspearagus, onion rings and shrimp.  Not bad and a lot better than what i would have gotten.

Bench: felt super weak so did a few sets of 225
Rdl: 225x2x8
Crunches with 25lb plate on forehead for 2 sets, abs cramped up.

Bfast so far
6 pieces of turkey bacon
2 slices gouda
4 eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese.
Cottage cheese nutrition
5 grams fat
5 grams carbs
13g protein

I believe the fat is right ill check later.

Yeah I thought you knew already lol

I put all of my meals under breakfast.  It makes it easier for changing the amount of food to adjust for my macros instead of switching back and forth between bfast, lunch dinner etc etc.  Also, it makes it easier to just screen shot one list of food instead of 3.

I put in my total for what i will eat all day and ill screen shot that and upload it here, the total calories is like 2200 or something.

That is my entire day.

As far as the weight, the gyms scale is at low battery so it wont register a weight and usually takes them  forever to change it.  Looking in a mirror I feel like I look better

Review time

John Wick 2
Badass as ever, just as good as the 1st one, Highly recommend it.

Subaru in winter

I have had enough driving this winter with the subaru to give a review I believe since I have been on everything as far as dry road, ice, light snow, deep snow, slush etc etc.

 Car
2001 Subaru Forester w/ Winterforce studded tires

Achievements
Drove through a parking lot with 2.5ft of snow and just plowed through that shit like nothing.
Drove though my yard with a hill in deep snow like nothing
Slush it handles better than FWD and RWD. You're going to get movement either way but controlling 4 tires and powering out of the slush makes it a breeze
My driveway is 900ft long and one day it was all ice.  I stopped going in both directions and tried to see if i could get the tires to spin out.  I did but I had to hammer on it and it only spun for a second until it hooked and launched.
on compact snow its like driving on dry road.
Dry road its annoying with the studs but I manage.
I've had some near misses this year where if i didnt have the AWD I would have been fucked(not my fault incidents)
The rear hatch makes everything so much easier, will be a similar vehicle in the future.

For a cheap winter rat its 10/10, definitely not going to drive it year round.
Cons
It's small
not enough HP so getting it up to speed and hills are rough
the Cruise Control is irritating at times
Not a babe magnet

as a every day car then idk 8/10 just because of convenience and how it is in winter.  If you're in the south then there wouldnt be a real point to owning one.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 14, 2017, 07:37:15 am
+1 good review.

Thanks haha its a nice beater, especially since idc if it gets the salt and has the best awd system.

So yeah i took the test and im still hoping for the budweiser job but if not then ill be training for the state.  My training will continue to be the same and realistically i want to throw running in maybe during spring depending on how wet it is.  I miss being able to just go for a 5 mile run so the plan is to lose as much as possible before then.

Heading to the gym soon to do my xfit workout.  The 50-40-30-20-10 sounds nice

Rounds 50 and 40 and 10 cleans on 30.

Left side between shoulder blade and spine is a knotted muscle and i just irritated it.  Not going to push it.

Going to go for a ride and i wasnt going to beat my previous time anyway, i had a lot more energy last time with a big bfast beforehand and on the 1st set of 50 skwaats my legs cramped up bad.

my back kinda really hurts right now, no workout tomorrow because once i get home at midnight i have to be back up at 530 to go into work for the morning shift.  I guess the timing is good and hopefully this wont set me back the entire week.

At work due to dumbass scheduling, back is fucked and i just want to put my compex on it.  Will suffer through a shift that i hate with a co worker who is about as annoying as it gets.  She knows my back hurts, she knows i only got 4 hours of sleep and still tries to talk to me about her god damn kids.  They arent my fucking kids so i really dont give 2 shits about what they are doing in school.  Had to deal with a chronic liar as well this morning who "filled me in on shit" and i just say there saying bullshit to everything she said.

And of course smoker mc fucking smoker is taking yet another fucking smoking break within 1 hour of being here.  There you go dumbass keep being part of the problem with healthcare.

Back is still screwed up
At the gym n did stuff that didnt hurt, also biked and now walking.  Going to combat the lack of swoleness with strict dieting.

Also, i decided not to count fiber calories so veggues are back in the diet.  Im reminded of it cuz i ate like shit yesterday and now im paying for it.

Took quite a bit of ibuprofen so just going to go home and put some bengay on it and just do cardio until its better.

So update to my workouts.

I really shouldnt be focused too much on strength because weightloss is the goal at this point.  It seems like I obviously react best to long duration exercises sooo its time to get back into  :ibrunning:

Schedule

Monday
.5 mile run warm up
squat
bench
deadlift
Keep this day the same as far as volume and intensity

Tuesday
1 mile run
xfit

Wednesday
1 mile run
bodyweight day

Thursday
.5 mile run
db/machines

Friday
1 mile run
xfit

Saturday
1 mile run
bodyweight day.

The body weight days will consist of shit such as
Air skwaats, wallballs, push ups, fat man pull ups, jump rope, burpees, ab work

4 miles total for the first week, will continue with that schedule until i can run 1 mile at a 6 mph pace without being tired.  If for some reason its just not enough volume to achieve it then I will increase all the .5 mile days to 1 mile days and do speed, interval etc etc.  Basically i want to start up slow with it to avoid the injuries i got last time.  Also, more foam rolling and stretching this time.

I found a better pizza option

Home cooked pizza
These are the nutrition facts
Calories 266.8 Calories from Fat 192 72%Total Fat 21.4 g 32%Saturated Fat 11.9 g 59%Cholesterol 158.6 mg 52%Sodium 425.1 mg 17%Total Carbohydrate 3.5 g 1%Dietary Fiber 0.3 g 1%Sugars 1.3 g 5%Protein 15.1 g

I don't like the saturated fat content in it and thats pretty much from the cream cheese.  I will go with a no fat cream cheese which i think has .5 grams of saturated fat per serving instead of 5 grams like normal cream cheese.

Will jack it up with chicken on the bottom or just cut the chicken up and use it as a topping

I dont want to do all the math now but

I will be cutting a lot of fat out of this fairly easily.

Will be using reduced fat cheese which is 4.5grams per 1/4 cup so its 1 gram less but thats still 12grams gone.  Going to use 1% cottage cheese and skim milk instead of heavy cream which is a massive drop, no fat cream cheese or as low as i can instead of regular cream cheese.

Right there is a significant drop in calories and I will figure out the actual numbers as i make it.
the toppings are mushrooms, pepperoni, spinach

Bfast was 4 eggs, 3 or 4 pieces of turkey bacon, mushrooms, left over turkey pepperoni, and steak.

Back feels fine when im up n moving but when i sleep i wake up n it hurts.

Felt good, was tired but didnt go super hard and thats my starting point.

Hacksaw Ridge review
Set during WW2, a conscientious objector joins the military to be a combat medic.  He saved 75 men without taking a single shot while taking Hacksaw ridge which paved the way to taking Okinawa. 

Its broken up into the usual segments for a military movie based on a single or group of people (- lone survivor)
Back story including a kid to adult
Boot camp
Rough Battle
Climax
Ending

Very well done, just bloody and gory enough to show it was hell but not over the top where its too much.  The acting overall was good even though for me it only had a few familiar faces ( Vince Vaughn, guy from Warrior not Tom Hardy)  I like how the women looked back then and Desmonds wife was super hot.  It was based on a true story which makes it more incredible.   My only problem was the naval ships were CGI and it wasnt very good CGI.

I liked it a lot, i still liked lone survivor, American Sniper, we were Soldiers and the Patriot more.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 20, 2017, 09:39:26 am
.5 mile run
Skwaats
135x15
185x10
205x10
225x10
These were about as full as i could make them.  This session felt the best form wise as my others have when i tried to full squat.
Bench
135x10
185x3 paused
205x3.....
225x3.....
250x1.....
260x1......
275x1......
290x1....
No leg drive on any of them.
Rdl
Worked up to 225 for a set of 10

Felt good

Bfast
2 eggs blended with 1 banana to make "pancakes"
5 slices of turkey bacon.
Coffee
Fiber/optimum energy whatever drank

People at work wanted me to do a 5k with them in June.  I said HELL NO, i like keeping my personal life and work life separate, plus the ones that want to do it will be significantly in worse shape than me by june and I really dont want to "run in a group."  Especially if that group is going to be slow as fuck but the girls that are doing it have bitties so who knows lol

It gave me an idea to find a 5k in June though to do by myself and will look for one.  Goal by june is 19 min 5k which is probably unreasonable but fuck it.

June 5th, Oneida Lake 5k run it is.

Nothing today

 I had 2 interviews from 9-11 and i felt sick afterwards.  One was a meet and greet then i got moved onto the actual interview for budweiser.  Went over im guessing amazingly because they said I'd know if I passed through to the next round within a few weeks and as soon as i got home I received an email saying I am moving on and to schedule my next interview.  If I get this job its just a massive game changer.  I will be making my own personal gym where I will come out with daily videos to see my fat ass flopping around.

Tomorrow
1 mile run
xfit workout

Saturday
1.5 mile run
bw, machines and dumbbells

I want to do outdoors workouts and i have a plan for late march and on.

I downloaded the Marsoc training prep app.  It gives you 10wks daily workouts including stretching, bw movements, running, swimming etc etc.  To log the workouts you just click the circle next to the exercise.  It looks good from what ive seen.  I also will be buying a prowler to drag and push outside.

.5 mile run
4:10 pace

Worn out

Skwaats: focused on 10 reps up to 225 and just felt crappy
Bench: same
Deadlift: same

Idk I mean i was sweating and it felt decent but turning away from strength sucks but I know its what I need now.  Soon before I take my subaru off the road I found a wheel barrow or wagon I will buy to push/pull around the yard. If I get the wagon it was a 800lb capacity and once I learn to weld I could probably weld on there pushing handles.  Wheel barrow is different but I might just buy both which is still cheaper than a prowler and wont be as noisy(prowlers and sleds are noisy as fuck)

I will just use sandbags and salt bags, easy enough weight.

Nothing on wednesday, I want to just sit around and be nervous waiting for my phone roleplay interview.

I did the interview over the phone, roleplay style and it was weird but i believe i did well.

I also got called for interviews in other jobs and one job that i will be interviewing for has a free gym, cheap but nice cafeteria, matching with 401k etc etc.  So things are looking up because the level of chaos and drama is insane at my current job and i just want to leave lol

tomorrow will be

1 mile run, bodyweight day
.5 mile run, db/machines

5 min walk to .23
1.5 mile walk at 5.2mph

felt nice and easy and in that comfort zone where i was able to run relaxed, felt like I could have gone a lot further.

Then db work and machine work idk this day is just boring AF

Weight is up but I believe its due to eating more steak this week and eating later than normal last night(forgot to eat until about 10pm)

I nailed the interview, a lot easier than i thought it would be.  I just have to wait maybe a week to find out if i get a job offer.  If so then watch out world, nothing will really change until i get offered a weekender (32hr) or apprentice job.  When that happens then i will slowly build up a home gym.

Tomorrow will be

(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OJa4HPVAk3A/maxresdefault.jpg) Review

The main thing about the movie is just going over the 2016 games.  I like that these movies started coming out because the jackasses over at ESPN make it impossible to watch the full games on youtube.  I know you can watch like 2014 and down, i haven't seen 2015 or 2016 on there yet so unless you can take time off of work each day to watch it, you're screwed.  Anyway, it was done well, go through some back story on the athletes.  I wasn't a fan of how they focused on the Australian chick so much making you think she was going to win then bam she gets 2nd because its predictable...they did it with Fraser in the last one.  Besides that its a good watch to get you jacked up and its just not the same without Froning and Dan Bailey.  They said considering Frasers times he would have beaten Froning if he had competed and I don't think thats the case.  This past years games didnt seem as rough as the last 2-3 years where Froning competed.  Besides that though idk it was good and Crossfit videos are mostly lower ass cheek and camel toe shots for the majority of the movie so I liked it haha.

.75 run@6mph
Skwaats
225x15
225x5x5 for just full skwaats
185x a lot
Bench
Up to 225x3x6
Legs straight out during it to work abs and work on stabilizers
Rdl@225x3x10
went heavy on saturday so stayed light
.75 run
0-.6@7mph crapped out
.6-.75@ 5mph

I felt good but just cardio level isn't there.  Will get there in a few wks

Next wk i will be upping the running.  My goal speeds are 6mph for longer distance and 7 for shorter so i feel like fresh i can get the .75 at 7mph.

Next wk runs
Short days
1 milex2
Long days
1.5 milesx2

I may just work on high rep work and save strength for when i get lean again.  The 225 squats killed me even though i should get like 30 reps.

1.5 mile run
DT-5 ROUNDS of in 13:10@135
12xdeadlifts
9xcleans
6xOH Press
1.5 mile run

Biggest issue with DT was for some reason i felt like i needed to go unbroken on everything so by round 3 i was just gassed every round.  After 3 i did unbroken on rdl, sets of 3 for cleans and last set if cleans went into oh press for unbroken.

Lower back pump during both runs due to rdls on mon and today.

felt good running 3 miles total even if it was slow as shit.  If my body wouldn't fall apart, 5.1mph feels like a good comfort zone to just keep trucking along for 5 miles or more.

Also, first round of DT i did rdl-clean-oh press-rdl unbroken and thats what killed me for the rest of the workout.

What a boring fucking workout.  I wanted to add in my burpees, jump rope and wallball wod but the damn doors are locked to the area where i do them.

If i want i can pick a wod to do in here.  I cant wait to make my own fucking gym.

Thrusterxbar/burpees/air skwaat
10min AMRAP
reps per round
Round 1: 1
Round 2: 2
.........round 8+ 1 full set of 9 thrusters.

I could have done a lot better, i paced way too slowly.

This is the week i start my longer distance which i already started last wk lol

Changes for this wk

Long days
1.5 mile run x 2
Short days
1 mile run x 2

I might start doing 3wks high reps, 1 wk strength for main lifts

So tomorrow
1.5 mile run
Squat: 185x3x20
Bench: sets of 10
RDL: medium intensity for sets of 10
1.5 mile run

I think next wk when i do 4 miles for my high days and 2.5 for my short days will be when i get significant weightloss

Also, will throw in longer wods up to 20 mins wortg.  If a wod is short i will do others until i reach 20 mins worth.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 27, 2017, 10:22:50 am
1 mile@6.1mph ending with 7mph
Squats: up to the 330 for an easy single
Rdlx185x3x10

Burpees: 1,2,3....10
Jump rope x 50
Wall ballx5
Decreasing jump ropes and wallballs and working backwards with burpees made it harder.  Jump ropes and wallballs are generally rest periods so o was faster on getting to burpees
.25 walk, .25 run
Some old chick hopped on the dreadmill next to me and her soap or perfume or mothballs, whatever it was, was so strong and pungent that it kinda made it hard to breathe and i said fuck it i csnt take it anymore.  Will make it up through the week.

Right now I am at 15 miles a week and I want 20 miles, screw this going up nice and easy shit (I'm impatient)

2 milesx2 on my long days
1.35x2 on my short days for 6 days (3 days each will get me to 20 miles for the week) 

Then when I am good with them I will do .5 jumps instead of .25

i wonder if any @fitters do that with strict pull ups. 100 strict pull ups is damn impressive, it would take me forever. actually 200 push ups is pretty impressive, too. 300 squats ain't no thang by comparison.

Yeah no doubt haha  I think the xfit games athletes could do it, it'd just take them a lot longer.

I didn't get to it today, my pugs were barking at 3am, 430am and 5am and woke me up all through the night.  Will do it tomorrow and I am trying to think of an exercise that will be good to substitute out the pull ups with.

I'm thinking DB Swing, push ups, squats

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 08, 2017, 09:56:15 am
Adarq or LBSS or anyone with knowledgez of running long distance and lifting

Considering how i get tired easily from workouts this week where i normally shouldnt and feeling weak overall.  I can tell i am probably going too HAM. 

Should i do something like
1. Keep running short, 1 mile on weight days and have separate only running days for longer distance and not break them up into 2 running sessions pre and post workout?
2.  Stop being a bitch and get at it
3.  Your suggestion

I wouldn't mind doing something like

D1. short run(.25 mile fastx4) 2 wods
D2. Medium run(1.5 miles) 1x 20 min wod
D3. Short run (1 mile sprint) 2 wods
D4. Bro day x 30 min incline walk
D5. Long run (4 miles)
D6. Medium run (2 miles) 1x20 min wod
D7. Rest

That's only 11 miles per week but i think with the long duration wods, each day getting about 20 mins worth in can make up for it.

Idk your thoughts?

Also day 6 the wod will just be a long duration mostly bw one, will be tired during it but i usually feel a lot better.

Also, goal for summer

Get apprenticeship - buy El camino - go to state fair - buy a hot tub - buy ice bath tub - do both - feel amazing after workouts
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 08, 2017, 05:11:13 pm
Relaxing and just wrote up a lot of wods so I'm not standing around thinking about it.

should be interesting.

started to write up a response and then realized i didn't know: what are you doing the runs for? and what's the point of the crossfit-style WODs? your new job doesn't have a fitness requirement, right? if your goal is still to lose weight i'd suggest cutting the WODs, sticking with a bit of focused lifting and a lot of low-intensity volume. something like:

D1: legs and back + walk/jog x 1 hour
D2: chest and guns + walk/jog x 1 hour
D3: walk/jog x 1.5 hours
D4: rest
D5: legs and back + walk/jog x 1 hour
D6: chest and guns + walk/jog x 1 hour
D7: rest

you can replace the lifting split with WODs if you want to. keep the walking/jogging at a low intensity, the point is to get the volume in consistently and as you go build intensity.

i suspect that will look boring as fuck to you.

Thanks for the reply and Lol yeah but if its effective then I'll do it.  I like the wods because they are fun.  My new job actually looks incredibly easy.  Idk why they have humans there but i havent fully seen what I will be doing.  Everything is automated so i might be there to fill labels or quality check stuff.

I can do that though, I will be doing 1 mile jogs this wk and once i am able to go into the company weight room i will check out what they have and go from there.

What i might do is 2 bro days with legs/back, chest/ guns  then the other two throw in wods.  I want to workout more outside also when it gets consistently nice out.

Also i could probably jog 30 mins then go into a 30 min walk

I lied

I will be starting my workout on thursday.  I have a 4 day wknd and i just havent gotten used to the shift right now for training.  I wake up feeling shitty and by the time i leave i feel like i want to pass right out.  My normal working and job training i hope is 3 to 11.  When i start legit working it'll probably rotate between midnights and 3 to 11.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

My diet this wk hasnt been the greatest

mornings
1 serving brotein shake
1 pack of oatmeal
For 2 days i had a lenny and larrys protein cookie for lunch and yesterday i didnt.
Then whatever for supper, i think i had subway the first 2 days and yesterday i had a sub from a local shop...oh yeah 2 donuts on monday lol

So probably way under my cal intake, i just dont want to sit in the training room having to shit my brains out or fart my ass off.

I found where i am going to be, in the can depot...i think just forklift driver for the can section.  In the warehouse i think theres going to be a lot of people retiring soon so i can move up fast.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 14, 2017, 08:37:13 am
1hr run/walk every 10 minutes

I took it easy at first because i havent ran in 6 days or so but i felt great and recovered.  I definitely felt better than my last week of running.

Going to figure out what i need to do next, maybe some wods.

Gracex135x30 cleans only
.5 mile run
50x2 jump rope
40xjumping jax
30xpush ups
20xwall balls
10xburpees
13:20

That felt really good
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 15, 2017, 07:12:00 am
Gettin ready for the gym

i have a few wods in mind for what i want to do

DT and the 10 min amrap of db swngs, db cleans and db snatches

Today the runs will be at 6mph so for those 10 min runnning sections i can hit a mile each time.


The last mile was a walk, felt hammy cramp up
No wods, shot the shit with an old friend n lost motivation afterwards
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 17, 2017, 06:38:09 am
Peroneals are hurting, will WOD out like a madman today because i cant run.  I dont want to irritate it more and limp around at work

10 mins AMRAP
5x db clean/swing/snatch

50xpush ups
20xthruster
10xinverted row

I cant do anything with ankle bend, thats why i stopped on 20 for thrusters

This sucks,  the rest of the wk is bro shit and for legs just hammy curls and extensions

im calling today a loss and start fresh with bro shit tomorrow after work.

With my new job I have been thinking about a few things.  I will be doing overnights, afternoon shifts,  wknds and 6 day work weeks.  I really don't want to figure my diet out so once i start working i may hire Shelby Starnes for the year as my dietitian.  If i end up with 12hr shifts then i may just do bw and running stuff, normal days will be running and either wods or supa sets for bro days to make it go by quick.
I think its like 1200 for the year but if im reporting in to someone weekly and im being held accountable then i will be more likely to stay with it.

Probably, ill look into justin Harris and a few others.

Layne Nortons avatar nutrition app seems good, just input your stats and it calculates your macros each week

Also i read that recovery time is a few wks, will try the bike out and see if that helps at all to get cardio in without pain.  When i do recover i will just do 5 mins on 5 mins off for 20 minutes snd slowly work back up.  Mainly going to focus on diet and bro shit...crossfit might be sidelined since a lot of it involves some sort of bend in my ankle, even with cleans, wallballs etc etc.

bummer. what sucks about it?

I'm supposed to load pallets of cans onto a dolley, fix machines where alarms go off, do computer work etc.  I dont have prior fork truck experience and my trainer just sits on his ass playing with his phone.  Hes barely shown me all of the panels for the alarms and all that once since we started because he doesn't like walking up stairs and proceeds to give me an attitude when i go to the wrong one because everything looks the same and yeah he showed me only once.  Wont help me out with the fork lift and just basically ignores everything going on.  If i dont keep up then basically every line gets backed up and shuts production down.  Its a job for someone with like 3 years experience already but they only hired 2 people with that experience out of 11.  And in a week or two I'm expected to be by myself back there.  Its something you'd have to be there to get what I'm saying.

Notta today, woke up multiple times last night so i geel like crap.  I have work at 3 so gotta get back into a schedule.

I'll keep the same workout schedule, my ankle is feeling good so ill do 1 more wk of rest, stretching and light walks.  There's a strongman competition at the end of summer that would be fun to do, my buddy is doing 1 on saturday so i may throw more strength in with limited strongman stuff.  i cant buy too much shit, i plan on saving up and paying my student loans completely off in september.  if inget the nuclear plant job then it'll be even sooner, after that ill work on a home gym.

Oh yeah forgot, diet wise i ate 3 meals from 8 to now and ill just have a granola bar for dinner.  didnt want to eat a lot at work since i dont have the luxury of running to the bathroom whenever i want at this job.

Did 30 mins of walking
21-15-9 cleans/pushups/air skwaatz

haven't done shit in awhile so i took it easy. 

back is killing me, last night at work i sat on a metal step stool and literally watched cans go by on a conveyor belt and picked out bad ones lol

to get to certain places you have to duck under conveyors and my right glute is cramped and back is sore from sitting.

i cant believe there were people there that probably make close to 40 dollars an hour doing that job as well lol

going to rest today

I've been coming home from work feeling like im going to cramp up last wk and tonight.  i typically have low potassium so idk if its that or a back issue since it's super sore.  i started getting inner thigh cramps and when i sat in a certain position the cramp started to go away.  will be doing stretching and foam rolling.  also ate a banana just in case and drank some water.  i may have to start taking hot showers before bed from now on...that is all

So i know I started a new job not too long ago but I recieved another email from a nuclear plant to work security (big money)  Both jobs end up paying the samw but i can get to full rate 3 years faster at the nuke plant.  I also found a house out there with a big ass yard and garage aka home gym.  I am definitely going to go with the nuke plant if offered and with that ill be able to set up a home gym and a hot tub.  i could also start doing videos and idk a ton of other shit.

I will probably find out late July, the hiring process is pretty extensive.

besides that nothing is going on, going to sleep early to hit the gym early.  i have to do a morning phone interview for them.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 15, 2017, 08:31:11 am

yesterday 4.5 miles,  inspecting boxes for broken bottles all night so not a lot of walking.  Migraine this morning and last night a few times i noticed some jolts of pain go through my lower body while walking so I'll take today off as well and hit up friday and saturday.

if i do the same job as last night ill be around 26 miles tonight then probably another 4 to 8 miles on friday.  ill find out if im working this weekend and if so then mileage will go up.  i hope not but ya never know.

I was getting ready for the gym but I'm not waking up like i should.  i am down 3lbs which idk if its just lack of food or because the walking or mixture of both.

will just hit up a oly/squat/xfit day tomorrow
Bsquats/OHsquats/cleans/snatch/wod

last night 15k steps
started off watching boxes go by but then got moved to a packer where i stacked 30 racks onto pallets.  I built 2 myself which was about 152 cases and then dumped 3 pallets worth.  I then had to walk around cleaning up cans on the lines.  twas a long night and by the end of it i had enough lol. I'm the only one doing real manual labor there.

yeah i think it just has to do with my back/trapz/neck being sore.  if i do a lot of cleans then the next day ill usually wake up with one.

are you sure it's a migraine then? migraines tend to be completely crippling, if i get one (and it's been a couple of years, knock wood), basically all i can do is be very still, in the dark, and puke.

Post by: John Stamos on May 23, 2017, 09:29:32 am
Going to do some stretching, push ups and skwaats at home

Last night at work the morbidly obese guy kept bothering me about how i was working too fast and doing too much.  He kept trying to tell me how to do things to the point where i basically wasnt really moving at all and i did it so he'd shut up.  i like moving around and absolutely hate standing around because it'll make my back even more sore. 

I'm just absolutely sick of that place where I'm getting shit on and yet i do waaay more physical labor than everyone else with 0 recognition. 

End rant

oh yeah I am rank #411 out of probably 12000 for my state CO test so thats a definite option again if i dont get the nuke plant job.  if i dont then the crossfit will go up and i believe my motivation for working out and dieting will go up because i want to be as lean as possible for it.

Also, just priced out a home gym

400lb bumper plate with BB set
lat pulldown
cable crossover (maybe)
farmers carries
log
yoke/squat stand
prowler
sled

thats probably 2k or 1500 if i get the smaller cable crossover.  besides that id just need matts, more weights probably steel, some dbs , rower and kettlebells, battle rope and treadmill.

I'm thinking 5k will be more than enough and hopefully one of these jobs works out cuz i don't see myself at my current one for 30 yeara

Ray Lewis'd it at work lol

i was carrying 4packs on like a cardboard carrier and i tripped over the glue gun cored and straight up tackled the pallet, beer went flying.  While cleaning it up it was spraying on my pants and it looked like i pissed myself.

tomorrow is iffy, i have to wake up super early because apparently someone stole a car and swapped licenses plates with my brothers while he was getting food.  i have to pick him up from work during his break to get to the dmv n all that shit early so ill see if i can do both.

Thought I was dumping beer today, nope watching boxes go by lol. The beer dump is physical so i figured itd be a good workout.

tomorrow i gotta change my brakes and if I am done early, i will go to the track and hit up a modified murph....maybe i will do that before the car work if i can wake up early.

1 mile run
100 push ups
200 air skwaats
300 jumping jax
1 mile run.

probably a 50 min or more workout lol what i might do is just do 10-20-30 of each for 10 sets

idk we will see, i bought the new friday the 13th game and i dont play video games often but this one is pretty fun.

Basically its online only, 5 people are campers and 1 person in Jason.  Jason has to kill everyone obviously and the campers have to fix the phone for the police, fix the boat, fix the car, radio for tommy etc to escape.  the music in it makes you paranoid cuz the music gets louder when hes near you but itll also just randomly do it.

so i was owning people in friday the 13th last night n didnt realize it was 2am.  I walked like 9 miles last night so eh screw it took today off lol. i didnt wake up til 1030 anyway.

So like i said in an earlier post, you have to get gas, battery and keys for the car in friday the 13th.  Other counselors got the gas n battery and i had the keys.  i ran to their car, got in and even waited but then jason showed up so i just took off and survived.  2 mins after they were still looking for the keys and got pissed when they noticed the car was gone lol. i even got a trophy saying Chad is a dick lol

Nothing today, lower back is feeling it from last night. 

the pallets get put onto the dolly then go into a machine where 1 layer gets swiped off onto rollers.  they have things on the rollers that guide boxes to where they need to go and facing the right direction onto the belt.  This was not the case last night and i had to sit at an angle hunched over smacking boxes into the right place and direction.  they also came out fasted than shit so it was jam after jam.  theyd also jam up down the line or just randomly stop in front of eyes which would shut everything down.  Massive pain in the ass, i wanted to leave and i probably have to do it today. 

i just keep telling myself, interview in a few wks lol

Stop on an odd number its 10 inverted row or pullup

i got halfway and my shoulders are just supa pumped

Maintenance mode is over.  I still have 1 more interview and even thoughy suit fits perfectly, my dress shirt was way too tight about my neck so i can stand to lose weight until it comes up.

Starting weight roughly 270
i weighed in with heavy shoes and without taking my dumps at 273 so around 270

Will start running again tomorrow, if my shoes rub my heels again ill hold off running and buy new shoes.  Will cook some chicken when i get home, have my brotein shake and cut back on carbs a bit.  nothing too drastic, there are things such as those that i can do to drop weight without jumping all in and risking getting sick of doing it in a week.

cant remember if ive worked out since my last post.

This past week was rough, my fingers feel like i have arthritis in them but ik they are just fucked up.  we did over 8k boxes so i loaded up over 16k total.  today is just going to be a push day with a .5 mile jog or mile depending on how i feel.  I had super cramps last night in basically my entire lower body so ill see how my calves feel beforehand.

weight was like 265.9 without second dump and full gatorade in muh belly

tried to continue but even after i recovered (took forever) once i started db cleans it just went right back to feeling like shit.   Booty booty booty was in there and I'm not afraid to puke after a workout but i didnt want to gross them out.

I'm going to try and get bloodwork done, for some gay reason i think the ones you can order online are banned in nys, ill have to check it out.   Just major cramps last night so just want to see why I'm using a lot of potassium and I'm always low and just as a general check up.  i have 1 wk for 5lbs and i doubt ill get there but ill go for long walks n shit this wknd to keep active.

DB swing@40lbs

idk if my cardio is this bad or I'm just worn out cuz this was way worse than I thought it would be.

sounds like you could be a bit worn out from previous posts but, those circuits are always rough. I don't fux with them, they wear me out. I found this dude once online, did crossfit & crossfit endurance (or something) for marathon running, swore by it. low volume running, supplementary volume via crossfit WOD's & stuff.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 25, 2017, 04:36:54 pm
yeah i never saw wods do much for long distance running but short distances for a fast time it helps a lot.  First time i did like an 11 min 1.5 mile was doing. CF.

i probably am worn out but once i make weekender I'll only be working 2 days a week but making the same as i do now in 4 days so I'll have a lot of free time.  should be beginning of october so just gotta roll with it.

lat pulldowns: 4x10
Curls for girls: 35x3x10

1 mile run@9:30

not going to increase distance until I am under 250.

I think with life stress and physical stress my magnesium and zinc levels might be shot which can cause the carb cravings so I will be ordering some ZMA soon.

I should add, if you do continuous 20, 30+ min wods where you're constantly moving and mostly hitting low intensity legs as far as air squats or wallballs i can see how it will help with reducing lactic acid build up.  I'd also throw in shorter wods that make you miserable so you can get through the suck.  The longest I've ran at one time was
a half marathon and I can't remember if i was doing CF at the time so i might have lied earlier.  I'd say as long as you do safe movements and focus on form it would work great, i do remember recovering very quickly from high heart rates like 170 to 120 within a minute or some shit (the treadmills heart monitor so not 100% accurate lol)

I'm a posting machine today, I've had to buy a lot of shit lately so the laptop is being put off but once i get it I will be more involved with other journals, just hate typing on my phone.

With the weekender position starting in october i feel like i should buy a truck with a plow and dump bed.  i will have a ton of free time so i can use it to obviously plow and do roofs in the winter time, summer time i can get back into landscaping, collect scrap metal, move shit for people etc.  I was thinking about just going back to 1 of my old jobs during the week but i want to take a chance on myself and I really don't want another boss.  When i get offered an apprenticeship then I will have to stop because i will be way too busy but not sure how long that will take.  O yeah, also will be buying Matt Wennings belt squat in the future.

damn nice. I really wish I had taken up an offer to buy the reverse hyper from Memorial Sportscenter when I left .. well it wasn't even "buy it", it was just "take it" .. needed a uhaul/truck etc tho, and just didn't. Bad move. Loved reverse hypers.

hope your back is good.. don't go crazy/heavy on the reverse hypers right now, just repping them out light will probably feel amazing.

Yeah thanks, i ordered it on amazon from westside barbell and it was 700 with shipping, on their website its like 100 bucks less, oh well.

If it was a commercial one holy shit you missed out on like a 1500-2500 dollar piece of equipment lol

Right now its super tight along with obliques and abs.

8am 1hr walk 7 incline@3.5mph
1230pm 10 laps around yard (200 steps each) w/20lb weight vest
4 rounds holding trapbar overhead
6 rounds holding it normal

I think it was just going into front rack positions with the db curls and not being flexible enough and eventually my back just said F you.  Doesnt feel strained or anything so i should be fine.

As far as the hyper ill probably go with 50lbs and do like 4x15-20 and get form down before that.

ya it was.. and it was formerly a reverse hyper in one of the Miami Dolphins training facilities - they donated a bunch of equipment to us from some small training + rehab facility. Pretty sure it was an elitefts one.

epic fail on my part.

What's the url to the one you bought? I can't even find the damn reverse hyper on elitefts's shop search wtf.

found a slight photo of it from some video:

Wasn't bad and trap bar thrusters feel 10000000x better but only at light weight.

Quote
Also soon going to buy a polar heart rate monitor with watch to track calories n shit burned throughout the day

ooo nice.

Reminds me, I want to wear mine soon when doing an intense walk .. curious to see how high my HR is. Walking hard seems to definitely raise it up a bit. I think I remember my HR was around 150-160 BPM when doing non-stop walking lunges.. With walking I imagine it's 120-130, dno tho.. need to find out.

pC!

ugggh took forever to fall asleep, heading to the store to get new clothes, mine are getting big

i will think of a wod to do around noon

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 03, 2017, 12:19:32 pm
with 20lb vest AMRAP
Jump ropex50
RUNx600ft
10 air skwaats
5 burpees

made it to round 8 finished the run when the timer went off, finished round anyway like a boss

felt good, paced too much at first but kicked it into gear halfway through.   Consistent heavy breathing but not physically worn out until the last 2 rounds.

Also yesterday was 8 miles total.

The fucking clothes I used to buy that made a hot chica i used to know want me when i wore them don't fit.  I tried on a xxl and it fit like a Large so either they are getting cheap or they think we are tiny european men.

fatass update

My waist is smaller at 260-265 than it was when i was in 10th grade at 220

I have 42 pants on now with my belt all of the way tightened up with holes i had to put in myself and they are still falling down my ass.  Will get 40 and 38s tonight and see if i can make it down to senior year which was like 34.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 04, 2017, 01:07:55 pm
Nothing today

Bought new clothes trying to care more about my appearance and not dress like a bum anymore.  Along with that and the drop in weight I pulled some slick moves and got my hairdressers phone number.

Weight wise idk but id guess 260-263

Going to rock out the reverse hyper tomorrow before the gym.

REVIEW

Jacked Factory Burn XT(I think)

Fat burning wise idk, unless youre on winstrol or a eca stack there really isnt any significant fat burning stuff out there.

Appetite Suppressant
10/10
Strong enough to keep cravings at bay but i can still get my meals in without going overboard.  I havent felt one this strong since lean FX which gave me insomnia.

i keeo forgetting to take my zma but ill leave it on the counter so i remember.

Weight: 263. Officially tied for lowest since 2015

Going to get more strict with the diet (its been pretty loose so far lol)  while eating at work instead of when i get home.

Decided on getting a dexa scan for all the body fats and bmr and all that.  It's only 80 bucks but I will wait for my season at work to end so i can focus on doing it right(fasted with little water intake, they will show up as LBM)  So around October i will do that.

Yesterdays food wasnt too bad

Morning workout
3 miles total, did something like walk 2- run 1- walk 1 - run 2 - walk 1 - run 5 or something, either way it said 3 miles on my phone

Running cardio wise feels fine just felt like my legs were lead.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 07, 2017, 09:46:32 am
So i wanted to track my measurements back in December 2016 and it lasted for 2 wks lol

12/17/16: 276.8lbs
Chest: 50
Gut: 50
Waist: 46
Arms: 15.5 unflexed and no pump
Quad: 27.5

Today: 260-265
Chest: 46
Gut: 46
Waist: 43
Arms: 16
Quads: 27

When I started this i was back up to 285 so i would have been significantly bigger especially in my gut.

Goals:
Weight: 215
Chest: mid 40s
Arms: 17/18 unflexed and no pump
Waist: idk whatever it is at 215
Quads: same
Gut: 34

Going to do another workout in an hour

That 20 min amrap except it'll be 30 mins this time with reverse hypers

Idk how many rounds but last 10 mins i took my vest off.  HR after was 152, took a bit to get it to read so maybe 155 or so.  If i had to guess on rounds id say 10

So i tried my xl shirts on and they fit just not a completely comfortable fit, still too tight around my mid section, its not bad but i like it a little loose.  10 more lbs should do it and right now cookin up crab meat and flounder.  Going to break that up into 3 meals and take in 2 protein shakes tonight.

Also the hairdresser isnt talking a whole lot, oh well, theres a hot girl at work that is single.  Apparently she runs a lot, does half marathons and shit but doesnt look like it.  She has a flat stomach but thick legs n booty so Adarq i may be about that run life sooner than i thought.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 08, 2017, 10:55:04 am
4 mile walk, looked like it was going to storm so i went home and did my second workout

100 push ups
200 squats
300 jumping jax

Going to attempt a modified Murph on friday so i will see how that goes.

Official unofficial weight

260.6 with a dump in me, droppin bombs now and will see if i can see 259 today.

So long story short i gave the hairdresser a stuffed animal for her son that looked just like her dog since her son and the dog are bffs.  Didnt hear from her after that and apparently the dog ran away so yeah horrible timing.

Anyway i couldnt be happier, i am making better progress now than when i was trying to be strict as hell and over working myself.

For the dexa scan id like to be in the 240 range so thats my goal for october.

Getting ready to head out for my walk

Not too sure what i will do for my second workout but will think about it while i am walking.  Im going to try for 1.5 hours, try to get a bit more mileage today and tomorrow because I'll be doing a job today that doesn't require a lot of walking.

I've been off my fat burner for 3 days or so and just no massive cravings really so thats good, ill jump on them today and finish out the bottle

6 mile walk from 8:15 to 10am with 1 poo break.
Relaxing and figuring out my second workout

Eating bfast
Turkey baconx6
Eggsx4
Macaroni salad(small thing of it)

Coffee

I feel a lot better, more confident and relaxed.  I cannot wait to get to 215ish and if I get an apprenticeship there is a gym around there thats a legit gym that was formerly an automall so its huge as shit.

Mod my workouts

Similar workout but legs n shoulders are together with an arm-shoulder- back day on sat, sun long duration cardio, fri xfit

Before each workout will do a warm up with opposite muscle group, still do 1 wod a day and walk my road each day.

Im hitting arms-back n shoulders twice because they are weaknesses.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 10, 2017, 10:26:45 am
Walk x 3 miles

20 min AMRAP

25 jump rope
600ft run
5 thrusters with trap bar
5 burpees

Wanted to get work in but not exhaust myself for my modified Murph tomorrow.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 11, 2017, 10:27:09 am
Watered down Murph

1 mile run
100 push ups - 200 air skwaats - 300 JJ
1 mile run

11:30 splits for the mile but it really wasnt that bad.  I've tried at a heavier weight and id either cramp up or puke.  This one was fairly easy.

I also did it in American flag parachute type pants so that takes away like 30lbs.

I started using pink Himalayan salt and it's helped my cramps in my legs n shit.

I have the wknd off so i will be doing 2 long walks and 1 wod
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 11, 2017, 01:05:01 pm

I tried on those 38 pants again and they fit just right now instead of too tight.
My meals have been pretty small though

Eggsx3

Protein shakes x 2

Then at night ill do something to get calories in.
With the weekend off ill do some meal prep and go shopping tonight

Weight: 260
This weigh in was post walk and post bfast with shorts n shirt on

My other weigh ins were shorts only and fasted pre or post walk i forgot which.

So i had 3 eggs, 6 turkey bacon strips, 4 ounces of steak, a cup of coffee and 2 bottles of water and a smoothie and weighed in only 1 to 2lbs heavier than completely fasted last time.  If i had to guess which i will find out tomorrow since the gym is open, id say 256

Just did some jumping, dunked 9tt easily with 1 foot, grabbed 9.5 with 2 ft n almost touched 10 with 2ft so with 1 ft i can at least snap 10ft

Gonna wait for the Mennonites to get done with their lunch at the park and go for a walk.

Teslas are pretty cool, fast as shit since electric motors put out so much torque.  I'm looking at El caminos right now haha.

I did 23 minutes of

Jump rope x 50
Run x 200m
10 snatch
10 squat
.. kbb swings
Single hand farmers carry

Felt like I rolled my ankle so that's why I stopped early

Walked 1 mile with weight vest and carrying the 50lb sandbag

also did burpees

Doing my original bw workout later.


Lastly, they are interviewing for apprentices now so I'll have to wait and see if if get one.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 20, 2017, 03:05:24 pm
Went 8 rounds plus JR,  :ibrunning: , 2 squats

The weight vest doesn't have a massive impact on my performance.

Also the apprenticeship thing, I am slowly building up equipment for a home gym and if I get the job then I will be getting a 20k loan to build one after my 6 month mark.

I priced it out so far

A lot of weights, 2 bars, yoke, log, package includes rower and all crossfit type stuff is 5700, throw in a belt squat and it's around 8k then 12k for a building.

Took a nap and now going back out for workout #3 I think.

Idk insert fancy name
Death by 7s

7 minutes of burpees
7 minutes of wallballs
......................snatch
......jumping jax
.......jump rope

Kept the easy shit at the end to cool down

Not sure about wallballs, might do kb thrusters

that's pretty sick. The yoke is especially bad ass. Belt squat too, damn. You're going to have like, random strongman/crossfit competitors showing up to your "facility" to train.. may need some kind of under-the-table membership fee :ninja:

those are some fun-looking workouts.

separate building for home gym = dream.

ikr wtf?



Went 8 rounds plus JR,  :ibrunning: , 2 squats

The weight vest doesn't have a massive impact on my performance.

Also the apprenticeship thing, I am slowly building up equipment for a home gym and if I get the job then I will be getting a 20k loan to build one after my 6 month mark.

I priced it out so far

A lot of weights, 2 bars, yoke, log, package includes rower and all crossfit type stuff is 5700, throw in a belt squat and it's around 8k then 12k for a building.

Took a nap and now going back out for workout #3 I think.

Idk insert fancy name
Death by 7s

7 minutes of burpees
7 minutes of wallballs
......................snatch
......jumping jax
.......jump rope

Kept the easy shit at the end to cool down

Not sure about wallballs, might do kb thrusters

wtf?

:o

That's very possible haha id like to just build one so I don't have to rent space but ill figure it out when the time comes.

Yeah LBSS they are fun, now in the gym i feel like I'm rushing through workouts because I just don't feel like being there, id rather be outside.

I figured rest day today, my body is shot.  Tomorrow and the next day I have an easy ass job that I am looking forward to so ill pick it up there.

Yeah it gets annoying sometimes haha

Quick I guess weights dont matter to me for this workout cuz they were low and I gotta go back to work

Bench: 1.5 presses for sets of 5
Hex press x3 sets
Db flyes x 3 sets etc
Cable flyes x 6 sets upper and lower
Tricep work

WOD

Rdl: 135/185/225/225x10-5
DB row: 50/60/70x10
Lat pulldown/curl supa set x a lot
walk
Back days are short, not a lot of back stuff at the
gym

The RDLs were light because I wanted to focus on flexing my lats and keeping my back tightened vs just going heavy.

Weight 256
Still at the in between area where I always stall (275, 265, 255 etc) ill always stall in the middle.

Eating at work is making me not eat when I get home so I should break through it faster than normal.

Wonder Woman Review

The best DC movie, might be tied with the dark Knight or slightly above.  I also enjoyed it more than the avengers.


The back story in the beginning made me want a spin off showing the Aries and Zeus story.  Gal Gadot is my Woman Crush Everyday....so hot. I didn't know shit about wonder woman so that could be why a origin story interested me this time and kept me interested because usually I hate them.  Deadpool did it right with the origin story also but besides that it's just these two.  The acting was fine, the slow motion along with the music was badass and not over done. 

If you have a lazy day id recommend it.

I mean idk, i think what made the during knight so great was heath and his performance and his death I think had an impact on people liking the movie more.  For me this one kept my attention more than the batman movies.  I think the dark Knight rises was absolutely boring but I only enjoyed when bane was on screen.

Hr walk I think

Weird people pulled into the parking lot, asked how long I was gonna be in a white trash way, I said however long I fucking feel like, then a woman showed up with her dog n let her dog near my car so I said don't let your dog piss on my fucking car and then she proceeded to walk on the track slow so I ended my walk

weird.. be careful tho dude.

that point about "weird people pulled into the parking lot", is when my senses get heightened. I also don't go up to any cars that ask me something, even if they are trying to ask for directions. That's how they tried to get me way back. You get close to the car then boom, toast. You know the situation better than me, but IHMO, be careful dealing with people in cars. I've had a ton of situations I avoided with shady cars, and 2 situations that escalated from those shady cars. "Cars give off body language", via the people driving them/inside them, i've definitely learned that. Always trust your gut. Just my heads up. When we're out there alone, especially with no one around, we're basically bait. If you are "strapped up", that changes things a bit, but i'd personally still avoid first.

pC!

Post by: John Stamos on September 13, 2017, 01:16:07 pm
Yeah, i was on the track and they were probably like 30ft away or so yelling to me.  It'd be shitty if i had to go for a walk with my AR haha.  I do get paranoid and constantly look around and don't care if people see me looking at them.  I noticed its a place people go to bang, meet up for dropping off kids for custody reasons etc.  I live in a almost 0 crime area but it can still happen.  One guy lived next to my buddy who had a warrent for murder in NC.

Today was a walk with a mile run at the end

Some of the supervisors found out I wasn't getting an apprenticeship so they wrote letters on my behalf and talked to the main guy this week so we will see what happens.  I might get trained as a weekender then made an apprentice and if that's the case then the gym will be made next summer.

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.

Everyday haha so like back squats on my full body days, front and OH on weightlifting days and bw or dbs on the  other days.  Get down the a low enough bw and do pistols.

The pay probably is there and it will look good for my current job.  I can't dick around for forever though so I returned my canvass letter for county corrections.  Ik ik going back to it but I can't dick around  with a job that could lead to something as opposed to a job (corrections) that will.

So this plan is to hopefully help get me down some more for the fitness tests and get me academy ready.

Walk .5
Run to 2.4 then checked my phone and must have hit pause.  Checked it again 2 laps later or 3 and noticed it.

So health says I'm around 3.8 so that makes sense.  Still a 2.5 mile run without running for awhile and only stopping cuz my phone was flopping around annoying me.

I've been following Clarence Kennedy on youtubes. 

Vegan weightlifter, 650ish paused full squat, 750 deadlift, over 400lb snatch and almost 500lb clean

I watched his tutorials and 1 day will be practice and the other will be full movements and power movements.

Getting back on a diet consisting of chicken, steak, seafood, veggies

On a positive note, that hairdresser is going to be my workout partner.

I also made weekender so I can't get a second job until I get my training so ill have 0 excuses to not improve. Also, with that fine ass working out with me.

twerkout today

Snatch grip power shrug pull thing: sets of 3
95/135/155/185/205/225

Snatch: sets of 3 and doubles
65/95/115/135
the 135 was a single but it was way easier than the last one

Hang Power Cleans: typical rep scheme, triples and doubles ending with a single, normal increments up to 185 and it felt easy.

Full pause squats: up to 225x3x5

db shrugs

1 mile walk incline

Going to figure out my training plans for the weeks to come, i was thinking 3 sessions a day

session 1 could be weightlifting and crossfit, alternate each days

session 2 walk, either track or treadmill, depending on the weather, basketball, some form of cardio
- at least walk 2 hours
- run walk 1 hour starting out
- basketball for an hour
so yeah those are the options

session 3 bodybuilding

the days i work out with my hairdresser/future wife/future baby mama/ future handcuff each other to the bed lady friend I will switch them around.

Eh they are both the same haha

Weight goal is 210 ultimately.

Budweiser has done some shady shit lately so I'm going to be interviewing at the sheriffs department on Monday.  Will be putting a heavy focus on running and bw movements along with strength on the side.  Sunday will be a half marathon walk/run

hah nice. ya man i'm afraid to leave earlier, bathrooms would be locked. I left the house @ ~6:45 AM today, bathrooms usually are opened at 7 AM .. one lap in, bathroom stop. :ninja:

did you comment on my strava activity while you are doing yours? :D

get that 13.1 bro!
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 02, 2017, 03:15:36 pm
So yeah hit the 13.1 miles yesterday

today

Squat: 5s from bar/95/135/155/185/205/225/255/275

Hang cleans: up to 185 in small jumps

1 issue ive noticed is if i move the bar too fast ill catch it higher which will result in a power clean but if i take the same weight and slow it down then the bar doesn't pop up as far and itll catch it a little lower which will allow me to squat with it.  Idk if i just need more weight on the bar or what but 185 felt pretty easy

Snatch went same kind of increments just smaller weight to 135 with the snatch and then just walked for an hour

Went home and cleaned out my car n what not so eh decent day

no other weights though, had to call to schedule an interview and shit so will be doing a quick workout tomorrow morning, hitting up an interview and then just chillaxing
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 04, 2017, 05:54:36 pm

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 09, 2017, 10:15:30 am
Nothing over the weekend

Total cases I dumped Fri night was 953

Today

Squat: R knee feels shitty from getting out of my car weird.

Triples with small jumps in weight from bar to 300 then a single at 315, felt easy

Then typical full body stuff minus back and bis

Seated Arnold press: up to 60sx10
Side raise pyramid from 25 to 35 to 25
Hex db press: 35/45/55x10
DB flyes: 35/45/55x10
Triceps pyramid push downs

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 10, 2017, 07:40:32 pm
Hang Power Snatch: up to 155 with OH squats after
doubles and triples up to 155

Hang power cleans: up to 205, small jumps in weight

RDL: up to 315x5

bicep and back work

I really wish i had a CF gym near me, my olympic lifts I feel like would skyrocket.  Right now I have to basically worry about dropping the weight, flinging the weight at the people on the bikes etc.

This workout was shit city

Basically did nothing but cramp up and at any sign of resistance i started to feel like I was going to get sick

Got an interview today then probably going to go for a long walk afterwards to make up for it, i think well hmmm ill probably just run as long as i can before aches and pains kick in then walk to the 6 mile mark and go for another walk tonight

Looked at crossfit gyms at what a waste.  I just want a place to do some oly lifting but nobody offers a flat rate for someone who doesn't care about taking classes.

Don't worry though you can go 8x a month for 60 dollars a month.  What a joke, i gotta find something else.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 14, 2017, 09:59:45 am

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 14, 2017, 08:33:15 pm
Thinking of joining a local PD, they're hiring now.

So if I do my workouts asap will ramp up.
Need a 12:29 1.5 mile and like 38 sit ups in 1 minute etc.  The push ups are easy so not worried.

My current mile pace is too slow, want to get it down from 8:30 to 7:30 or 6:50 on a treadmill.

Realistically depending on my score id have maybe til after winter to get ready which i think is plenty of time.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 15, 2017, 09:45:02 am
Running program I just thought of lol

Last time I was doing upwards of 5 miles and I'd end up getting injured.

This time though I want to keep it around 3 miles

Monday: 3 mile run@ 5mph
Tuesday: 2.5 mile run@ 5.4MPh
Wednesday: 2 mile run@ 5.8 MPh
Thursday: 1.5 mile run@ 6mph
Friday: 1 mile run@ 6.4mph

So each day is 3 miles just what I haven't done within the 3 miles ill walk so the 2 mile run day I'll walk 1 mile

As long as i feel the week has gone well and I can move up the speeds then ill slowly progress and this will be until March.

By March id like to be at a 8.2-5mph pace on my 1.5 mile run.  Hopefully by this time I will be at a lot leaner of a physique.

I will also incorporate high volume bw movements, particularly push ups and sit ups

Goal is 100 of each a day

Because of this my workouts will remain relatively the same minus squats every day to just 1 day high volume. 
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 16, 2017, 08:28:02 am
3 mile run in a little less than 36 mins

Felt easy cardio wise but my lower back started acting up, not bad but if I went longer it would have.

I feel good about the paces I have set as a good starting week.

Push ups: 3 rounds of high incline, low incline and floor, idk how many reps

Sit ups: I did 20 and abs cramped lol oh well, I have 5 months to get good at them
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: adarqui on October 16, 2017, 10:46:45 am
ya man, if you've noticed I even break up my longer runs alot lately.. imho, it's safer. So instead of 10 miles non stop, breaking it up various ways gives you the same work but perhaps less overuse, ie: (these don't add up exactly)
- 4 x 2 miles with 0.5 walk in between
- 3 x 3 miles with 0.5 walk in between
- 9 x 1 miles with 0.25 walk in between

so the point here is, even for me 5 miles non-stop can create more fatigue than if I split that up. If i'm feeling a bit wrecked, I definitely feel it takes it's toll. Walking in between sets (diced up) feels really good to me. Also feels more natural tbh.

So for you, cutting it back to 3 seems like a smart move, but you can also experiment with something like this eventually:
- 3 miles run, 1 mile walk, 1 mile run
- 3 x 1.5 mile run, light 0.5 mi walk in between each set

etc.. so if you wanted to get that 5 miles worth of work in on some days, don't be afraid of splitting/dicing it up is all i'm saying.. work is work, it has a slightly different training effect when you slice it up but it could be a little safer by allowing for some recovery etc.

peace!

True that, I will do something like that eventually when I get to a lower body weight, or maybe after a month of consistent running. 

I might take another job for the time being, if I do then I might just invest in a treadmill for my house and just focus on running and bw stuff that I can do here.  Especially in the winter time when I wont feel like driving in shit weather just to run for an hour.   
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 17, 2017, 08:54:51 am
2.5 mile run at 5.5.4MPh
Easy run, I might have set the speeds too low but ill keep with it a not adjust it because it might be a good thing to start out like this.

I'm sitting on the shitter and someone is making the weirdest noises just trying to pee.

Anyway

I ran and did

Snatch up to 145lbs
Cleans up to 200lbs

Weighed in at 260 which is frustrating.  I've been drinking a lot of water lately so idk if that's it or not.

Just not the direction I wanted things to go which is I wanted to wait until i had to really focus on my diet but looks like I will have to do that now.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 19, 2017, 07:41:20 am
Yesterday was 2 miles at 5.9 first mile and 6mph second mile. 

Since I did that and today is only 1.5 miles I think I want to go for 6.5mph
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 19, 2017, 08:35:41 am
8:45 split I think it averaged out to, i dont wany to do the math but that's close

13:16 for 1.5 mile

Not a bad starting point, last time I started at 16 something and cut 3 minutes off, I want to do the same again, a 7 minute pace would be nice.

Walked the other 1.5 miles
28 sit ups and then the cramps kicked in

I'm interviewing at another job today for during the week and if I take it now ill be mornings until they open their second shift.  If that's the case I'll just buy a treadmill.  Coming here when school is out is a nightmare.

Again up in weight, I'm thinking it's because my total volume for walking has gone from 10 miles to 3 miles a day.  I guess I'll just watch what I eat and let my body get used to it.  Saturdays and Sundays will be long walk days though.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 20, 2017, 12:32:14 pm
1 mile run

started at 7.5 mph, then went to like 7.8mph and jacked it up towards the end to make up for the time it takes the treadmill to get up and going which is like a 10 second loss. 

7:59 minute mile on 1% incline

walk 2 miles

then i did some light squats, 135-165-185 for like sets of 10

I did a semi proper warm up which is more than what i usually do which is none.  I felt way better running and my squats felt a lot better, along with some sumo stance db deadlift holds to stretch out my hips

I'm working an overnight tonight so I will go to the gym, hit up a full bod workout, quick one consisting of machines and a barbell OH Press and go for a long walk afterwards, sunday is another walk day with some bw movements. 

Next week I am training at work so I might just run in their gym after work, if not then I will go to the gym after work and just go for my runs, id like to do it outside but its going to rain the majority of the week.  Its 3 weeks of training, idk if its 3 consistent weeks but i dont want to do too much weights because i dont want to accidentally fuck myself up and miss out on my training at work.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 21, 2017, 02:00:51 am
some running today if the weather holds up, I got asked to do a 4 over today so I won't be out until 11 and the gym closes at 1230 buuut I gotta shop.

I can't pass up on an extra 130 bucks and 4 overs are rare for us.(non full time regulars)

From the sounds of it they are possibly hiring in November for apprentices, and my training will be finished by the time they hire so kind of coincidental.  I'll take it but I feel as though I'd rather be with the police department.  Idk ill play it by ear.

Oh yeah i messed up and confused 1st shift with day shift but here it's midnights so ill be able to run in the morning.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

or maybe use it as an opportunity to shed a few pounds? calories are cumulative over the course of the week, if you have a few less on some days and then maintenance on other days you'll start losing weight.

Did 5.8mph for 2.5 miles

felt like a real run, the fan wasn't on so I wasn't freezing my ass off.  Had a nice sweat and decent breathing during it.

Tomorrow is 6.2mph

I also did 1 exercise per body part.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 26, 2017, 02:22:03 pm
2 mile run at 6.2mph

Felt good, what's tough is having the distance right in front of you so it drags on.

I think I've been doing bout 3 miles at work so my weight is right back down.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 27, 2017, 07:56:29 am
1.5 mile run
12:33 :raging: :raging: :raging:
Need 12:28

I can do it, i didnt intend on speed so the 1st mile was 7mph then every .1 including the 1 mile mark i increased it by .2 then towards the end i jacked it up.  I guess you can say I did get quicker than 12:33 because you lose 10 seconds with start up.

On the bright side I'm working OT tonight and they have to pay me 47hr Byaaaahhhh!!!!!!

Haven't been doing anything, I tend to feel like crap towards the end of work.  I hate day shift soooo next week I'll be hopefully training on afternoons. If i am or even nights then I can get back to it.  I should only have 1 more week or so.

My eating has been minimal though, so I'm probably actually losing weight lol.

nice. also it's funny though, sometimes when we don't focus on things obsessively, we achieve it easier. you'll probably end up losing a good amount of weight by just working alot and eating minimal, lmao.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 05, 2017, 02:19:07 pm
Yeah haha typically on afternoons ill eat bfast, lunch, work lunch and when I get home at 1130pm.  Days it was bfast, lunch, supper, out by 8pm.

I just have more of an urge to go with the local PD so my training will remain relatively the same, except ill go back to body part splits everyday and save olympic lifting for the future.  If I can't put my all into it now then there's no point.

Definitely not focusing on strength, going to try for hypertrophy, even if it's minimal gainz it'll still help with fat loss.

Why was there a confrontation at the squat rack?

I had my knee sleeves on with olympic shoes walking to the rack.  Guy looks a me, gets up from the bench and goes into the rack and yells to his woman across the gym where she wants the pegs.  I walked into it and moved the pegs where I need them and he says to me "my gf is squatting"  I said to him looks like shes fucking off on the other side of the gym.  He told me to get out of there so by now I've had enough, I just ran 2 miles and I wanted to finish up and get out.  So I just basically said alright make me fucking leave.  Bit of a stare down and he walked away.  Absolutely sick of going to the gym when it's busy.

His woman was literally like in the corner do side planks and shit.

That sounds intense. I'm lucky that I train at a fitness centre that is relatively quiet. I remember when I used to train at another franchise during peak hour there would be 50-100 people in the gym and that gym only had 2 benches and a squat rack. My current gym peak time is only 10-20 people but there are two squat racks. I never had any confrontations at my old gym but I remember when I needed to use a piece of equipment I'd be eyeing it off like a hawk until it was available so nobody else could beat me to it. The most annoying part would be when people come up to you and are like "so how many more sets do you have" or "can I work in with you". Fair enough if I'd been using a machine for a long time but often I'd get asked literally on my first or second set!

It'll be interesting when you see that guy next time :P

I backed out only because my legs aren't conditioned for that whole workout.

I did the 3 rounds of Jackie officially in 27.5 minutes but one of the guys in there interrupted me to talk for like 3 minutes.

Legs were trashed

total
Thrusters: 85
Cleans@95lbs: 30
Push ups: 25
Mins on rower: 6

That just shows how out of shape I am.

I did the first round with cleans and the last 2 with push ups.

Then x2
Wallballs: legs trashed
25 WB
5 push ups
1 minute run

My legs literally didn't want to run

Going to shower and get a haircut and go back afterwards to do some biking and idk another wod

Tomorrow I will just bike for awhile until my legs are feeling good, they are sore as shit

AMRAP in 30 minutes

400m run
 
10 snatch
10 clean
10 push ups

After that see how I am feeling
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 24, 2017, 09:31:28 am
6 rounds in 30 minutes

legs are still absolutely wrecked

There isn't like an even lap count for 400m on that small track so I just stuck with 4 laps

I just rode the bike for a bit afterwards

It's nice doing a 30 minute workout and feeling like I did work and not being super hungry afterwards.  That is one thing I remember about crossfit was it didnt make my hunger go crazy.  If I do a regular bb workout I'm hungry all of the time.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 24, 2017, 10:52:06 pm
Tomorrow as long as my legs are fine

Run for 35 minutes
Every 5 minutes, stop and perform 5 burpees

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 26, 2017, 09:48:40 am

I'll do that one tomorrow, I didn't think orientation was going to be a full day.  I'll go to the gym early in the morning.

Idk why but when I do these types of work training shit where you're just sitting down watching slides all day I always get massive headaches.  But on the bright side I'm sitting next to the hot chicks

Towards the end of class I had chills, shaking and a headache.  Got something to eat and I feel better but my stomach isn't agreeing with me.   Going to bed early to see how I feel in the am
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 28, 2017, 09:06:51 am
Tomorrow should be normal again, it's a part time job so it's only from like noon to 5 so I will keep my morning workouts.  I could go to other post offices for the morning but it's split shift I believe so I can still get my workouts in.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 28, 2017, 12:20:52 pm
Well I go in tomorrow at 6 fucking 30 when I was told 1 to 5.  So far none of the shit that I was told is true
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 29, 2017, 11:08:26 am
Got it done in 19 minutes

Not bad, worked up a sweat and maybe should have gone lighter to keep it more constant.

Tore my hand open though but still finished out all the sets.   Just had a bit of blood to clean up.

The job is easy AF but I'm probably just going to stay at the gym between shifts (today I worked 630 to 930 then 1 to 4) it's only about 2 hours of free time when you take the drive out of it so I can workout and shower between.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 30, 2017, 06:13:04 am
Not sure how much time I will have between shifts, I'm working 7am-? Then noon to 5 at another location.  If i can ill get a run in.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

2.6 mile run
Not sure of the time

Gotta eat n get to the next office.

Fooooood

Morning coffee

Just now
2 pb trees
Rotisserie chicken wrap with pickles, lettuce and a little bit of ranch
1 0 call monster tea

Later
Whatever I have for supper and protein shake

I gotta work here noon to 5 which is idk i wish it was hard work so I can get extra work in but it's easy shit where you won't break a single sweat drop.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 30, 2017, 11:33:23 am
Tomorrow
30-20-15-10-5 rep rounds of:
Push ups
Sit-ups
Run for remainder of time.

I doubt I'll make it past 30, I'm sure my abs will cramp up so I might just do them broken up.

My run today said 22 minutes for 2.6 miles which is horseshit,  i was running so slow.  I think it might have bounced around in my pocket more than what I was taking for steps.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 01, 2017, 11:52:58 am
I did 2 miles, the pool area was locked

I ran on the track and kept like a low 9 or so mile pace but felt comfortable with it.  Stopped a about .8 due to a bunch of people showing up on the track.  Then ran another mile on the treadmill.

Tomorrow idk how much time I will have if any but Sunday I will figure something out.  Next wk my schedule is more open, no split shifts so I'll have a good week.

Nothing today, took my test, Xmas shopping and now I'm pooping before work.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 03, 2017, 08:26:44 am
Got my garmin, seems alright, a lot better than using a phone.  Easy to use, steps won't be accurate due to just typing this in its counting. 

But only really needed it for the mile run tracker and timer.

Going to run today, basically just maybe a mile warm up jog then go for a faster mile. Or just jog until my feet feel like they are going to blister.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 03, 2017, 10:07:33 am
So the sign at the track says 18 laps is 1 mile, wrooong.

My garmin and phone shows .5 per lap so 5 laps is .25 not 4 and then some.

I've been bamboozled

I did a mile for a warm up then multiple 5 lap runs keeping then 2:20 or less

Wait that doesn't make any fucking sense either, no way at my pace was I doing a quarter mile in 2:20, that's like a 800m sprint time and I wasn't running slowly.

Idk ill figure it out, maybe my stride length differs so it's skewing things

I'd like to think I was doing like .3 skewingomething in 2:20 or less

I tried strava and map my walk but the GPS won't go through.

Either way I'm tired AF

So my stride is a bit longer than what a pedometer  thinks it is.  I did multiple laps on the short track and kept getting about 113/114 steps and then used a gps walker app to see what it is and each lap is .06 so it's anywhere from 1 to 1.08 miles for 18 laps.

Haha yeah, 1 of them works there but I have never seen her friend there. 

I read something where interval training awakens genes that normal weightlifting doesn't so I want to keep with the interval stuff until I don't see improvements.  Even so ill just probably adjust it.

I'll look at some interval running workouts soon and tomorrow should be bike with bw stuff or cf stuff idk ill figure it out.

i dno about the "awakening genes" stuff lmfao, BUT, if you believe it... it helps :D

IMHO, all I care about is presenting a stimulus for potential adaption.. don't care what goes on at the cellular level: tweaking intensity, duration & frequency is all I care about.

regardless, providing a stimulus which causes the adaptation process to execute, sounds like "genes awakening".  :ninja: :ninja:

interval running workouts are great .. intensity goes way up.

I forgot today was payday so had to drive out of my way to go get my check, did a 20 minute bike ride with a 10 minute walk, went to the bank then the store to get food.

So waste of a day but whatever

Tomorrow I will be doing weights with walk in the AM, going to work and after work I will be doing an interval run workout then sunday will be something, idk yet, run and weights cuz monday the gym is closed.

10 seconds on 10 off

that way I can go all out, 20 seconds for push ups for instance is too long after 3 rounds or so for my ass right now.

somewhere in between imho .. not optimally short, but not full recovery either. so a bit more than optimal rest period, ie 30s more etc. but ya then work your way down to optimal as the sessions go on.

if you can't get your goal reps though, need to slow the pace down per interval .. if you're going too fast and you just cant recover, you won't be able to get adequate work in.

Omg this sucks so much.

My chest n shoulders are cramped, sweatin my balls off.

Last tabata workout then stretching and walk

Scratch that, im pretty light headed and woozy

So had to flop on the floor until my stomach settled then walked like 5k steps, it was cold as fuck.

Gonna eat n go back to the gym around noon.


Im also going to do intermittent fasting but not like a typical one, hopefully this one will just give me better habbits

So nothing from 8pm to 10am. So its cheating cuz ill be sleeping but if i make it a goal to form this habbit itll be beneficial.

Deli turkey
3 eggs
Turkey bacon
Chicken thighs
Cheese

At gym
1.5 mile run
.something walk then a little run
For about 40 minutes then got off and walked the track for 20 minutes
Ab work

Currently walking outside post meal

So im not conditioned to run constantly right now, my hips n calves n shit ached and the inside of my foot started to feel like it was going to blister.

So change of pace, at least 1 mile warm up every day.

Weighed in heavy, oh well, hopefully i can keep at what i started yesterday.

So that one job fell through but i applied for another and this one will keep me in shape, also its next to my old gym so i can go back there, do a 2am workout.

Walked, carrying my sand kettlebells, I am up to 13503 steps. 

Will do 1 or 2 more walks, might go out at 340 for 20 minutes

Next meal will be some more chicken, umm idk I will have to see what i have. maybe just chicken and protein shake

Ill stick around for a bit to see if any of them leaves.  I guess in the mean time ill hit abs

Got my 1.5 mile run in and pissed all of them off.  Its -7 degrees today ffs and they had the fans going so i turned them off haha.  Its hilarious, the cardio machine jockeys NEVER sweat cuz they like it cold AF. 

Anyway, felt like a good twerkout. 

Ill figure out what ill do tomorrow
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 14, 2018, 01:03:58 pm
One thing i gotta do is set a certain # of miles I have to run per week.  I think I will start with 15 miles and slowly build up to 30.

Tomorrow

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 14, 2018, 03:13:24 pm
So i was watching the 2017 CF games and one event was 1.5 mile run - 500 yard swim - 1.5 mile run

Now these people were doing 1.5 mile runs in like 8:43 while not looking tired at all.  Am I just this out of shape and slow because that seems like an extremely fast time.  Im almost wondering if it was horse shit and it wasnt 1.5 miles
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 15, 2018, 11:00:53 am
Did the first one, I'm whooped

This is why i fucking hate public/commercial gyms

so for that wod, I did my
mile run, no issue
squats in a corner, had my medball set up there n everything no issue
walked 10ft to get a quick drink of water and i turn around and skelator is in my corner doing twists with the medball
so i had to do push ups until she was done because if i say anything id likely get kicked out of the gym again
so for wallballs instead of just my legs burning i had cramped up chest and triceps.

I think tomorrow will be Upper Body Bro day with a mile run pre and post.  My glutes and what not are just sore AF
I have been making plans hopefully for this summer and it include a space for a home gym.  I will have to look up a good size space for a home crossfit gym cuz i just cant stand it

on a positive note, the absolutely amazingly gorgeous chick and her hot ass sister was at the gym again.  my only complaint is she wore a lot of perfume to the gym.

anyway, gonna relax, go for a 20 minute walk when the mail comes.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 16, 2018, 09:28:31 am
I might bike for 30 minutes instead.

My quads are wrekt and i dont want to push them

Soooooo

Bench(feet up)
95x20
135x10
185x10
225x5
255x5
275x3 feet down, felt decent, probably had 3 or more left
then drop set to 225 then 135

Bent over BB Row
135/150/175/185x10-5

OH Press: 95/115/135/155x10-5

then db work with hex press, flyes, front raise, side raise, curls, rolling extensions, machine work

really nothing special, biked for 15 minutes and a guy sat down on the bike next to me and stank...like if he was in a cartoon he had flies and green squigglys coming off of him.  So i went to walk on the track, second lap around i looked out and saw someone just hanging out by my car which was away from  other cars so i got my shit on and headed out to see what was up but the dude left by then.

Will make up the miles later
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

3 mile bike ride: less than 10 minutes

30 cleans @95lbs

Did the hip movement in the video i posted earlier.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Weight 274

This morning i had cereal, 2 cups of coffee, probably 2 bottles of water.

So from now until when the half marathon is, I can have saturdays be long run only days at 3 miles but every other saturday I add 1 mile and by the time the marathon happens I would be at 13 miles the day before so I can just have the next day, the day of the half marathon be my long run day.

Friday is lower body day, not going to do BB squats, I have a thing in my head and I want to see if it works.  I want to focus on heavy DB cleans and I want to see if they will make a difference in idk 4 weeks and on the 5th week do a BB squat.  My thinking is focusing on heavy DB cleans will help build up my back and what not so idk, we shall see.  Of course next week I will make sure my lower body day is when I did my upper body day which is like idk monday or tuesday or some shit and just switch the two.

Yeah I guess supervisors were going around asking people if any WW were worth hiring on and my trainer and some others recommended me.

If I get it, just need to keep low and rock out my first 6 months and then after that I can take it easy, pay off my student loans and all that jazz and then maybe at least get a building put up by the end of the year and slowly buy equipment each week.

I also ordered new anti blister socks and I will try to run tomorrow, if not I will just hit lower body and bike.

5.11 miles in 1 hour

Not gonna lie, besides a lil thundr thigh rub and me constantly focusing on the distance the last 1.5 miles, it was an easy run.

If i broke it up n did a run/walk i think i could save my body enough to finish a half marathon within a 2hr20 min or less time.

I feel really good, im not aching, not worn out and only have a little blister on my left foot.

So yeah I got a call for an apprenticeship interview on the 13th.  Basically apprenticeship is a 2 year program at my current job where I work my life away and have 0 life but I learn various pieces of equipment.  After my 2 years I am considered a full timer(my hours as an apprentice is full time) but I will be untouchable and make what i make now but full time.

So what this means is I will be on my way to building a home gym.  I have 2 interviews to do so I will see how it goes

tomorrow is idk however I feel, i took today off cuz the gym was closed due to the weather.

idk it should be interesting, I think my first piece of equipment will be a dreadmill

1hr walk on inclines

Gym full of hot babes

Gotta get in shape

Everyone has slingshots nowadays and it makes me laugh.  They think using it to lift more weights will make them stronger which is not the case.  Its mainly for injuries or pain in pecs and shoulders or just to use to do extra volume.  Im not telling them though.

Anyway today is a light eating day

Tomorrow

Mile  :ibrunning: fast
Db squats
Hammy curls
Oly lifts

Mile 1: 738
Yah thats my max, i had to keep convincing myself to not jump off, speed was 8mph with a slow buildup that took 10 seconds

So that killed me, the rest of the workout i did the weights but the runs were like .25 run n .25 walk, i literally felt like i had a full weighted suit on and my abs were cramped up.

Felt great, imagine if i was 210 or 200lbs with my current cardio level.  My weight today was 272 due to eating and big cup of coffee and water.

I am happy with my progress considering i didnt do a proper warm up or stretch, yesterday i did 4 miles already and it wasnt ideal but i still beat my old current pr by like 28 seconds.

6 miles in 1hr 5 minutes

It wasnt too bad, the last mile was horrible because with 5 minutes left i hit 5 miles so i had to turn off the treadmill n restart it because it would have shut off at the hour mark.

Didnt do anything the last 2 days which made me feel shitty but weirdly mile 6 breathing n cardio was perfect just my feet were hurting where i typically get blisters.

I also got an 80 on my test which is shit.

Idk if ill get called or not, so i will be keeping running in my workouts just going to even it out with weights.  Idk if ill even get called for it tbh

I made it halfway through a video on the 2018 nba dunk contest and turned it off.  The black panther dunk was about as bad as the cgi in the movie and yet still got a decent score.  Then the one guy jumped over 3 people crouching, almost on their hands n knees and scored perfect 10s.  I bet there are people in the nba that came from street balling and dunking that isnt well known that could have put on a better show.  The only good one i saw was a reverse 360btl
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Nah i got screwed over by my trainer at the start of last season, he lied to cover his ass which caused me to not be trained on anything so i got trained in october instead.  But they said i didnt get the apprenticeship even though i am a great worker(his words)  because i wasnt in a machine enough.  They hire apprentices off the fucking street with 0 experience and they said i need to do another season before ill get hired.  So what it came down to was we can use eric for the season to do the same bullshit work at half pay.

So im getting in shape in case a police dept calls or when i get reinstated at the state cuz i am just absolutely pissed off.  I learned the fucking packers in half the time it takes other people, i worked circles around everyone there and yet im getting butt fucked by the powers to be who dont even go out into the production area.

I walked this morning and now ima go walk again after bfast cuz its nice out.

Watching the SpaceX launch

nothing today, we went from 50s and no snow to a snow storm today lol everything was closed.

tomorrow will be some stuff idk just how i feel, gonna go watch Death Wish and sunday will be more stuff

I woke up to a call from the nuke plant saying they want to fast track me to the final interview for security.  I would make just about the same as if i got the full time gig at budweiser and I will get more days off.  So it is a good opportunity if I get it but my luck sucks so who knows.  If I do get it I will have to pass a psych test which is easy, fitness test which is easy and a tactical course, go around and targets pop up and you gotta shoot the baddie or its an innocent that pops up and you dont shoot it, stuff like that from my understanding.  So yeah idk I wont get ahead of myself this time and just see where it goes.  I did win on 3 scratch offs today so yeah I'm that good.

I have also been taking probiotics and yeah stuff is working amazingly.

then Metcon

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes following the rep scheme below:
65 pound Thruster, 3 reps
3 Chest to bar Pull-ups
65 pound Thruster, 6 reps
6 Chest to bar Pull-ups
65 pound Thruster, 9 reps
9 Chest to bar Pull-ups
65 pound Thruster, 12 reps
12 Chest to bar Pull-ups
65 pound Thruster, 15 reps
15 Chest to bar Pull-ups
65 pound Thruster, 18 reps
18 Chest to bar Pull-ups
65 pound Thruster, 21 reps

This is a timed workout. If you complete the round of 21, go on to 24. If you complete 24, go on to 27, etc

Movie Review

The Final Girls

I believe it came out in 2015 but I randomly found this gem

So the title final girls means the final girl in a typical slasher movie that kills the killer.

So some chicks mom was an actress and starred in a slasher F13th type of movie in the 70s.  On the 3 year anniversary of the chicks moms death a movie theater plays that movie.  A fire starts and girl and friends cut through the screen to escape through the back, in doing so they find themselves in the movie.  Without getting too much into detail, they try to save everyone and they have to kill the killer to escape the movie.

Rated PG13 and it is listed as a comedy. 

I thought it was funny, clever, goofy and nice visuals.

It is worth a watch one night

I suck at reviewing stuff.

So some chicks mom was an actress and starred in a slasher F13th type of movie in the 70s.  On the 3 year anniversary of the chicks moms death a movie theater plays that movie.  A fire starts and girl and friends cut through the screen to escape through the back, in doing so they find themselves in the movie.  Without getting too much into detail, they try to save everyone and they have to kill the killer to escape the movie.

Rated PG13 and it is listed as a comedy. 

I thought it was funny, clever, goofy and nice visuals.

It is worth a watch one night

I suck at reviewing stuff.

nice @ the killer gets killed.

i saw something nutty like that with some deaf/mute woman (author, out in the woods by herself in a small sparse community) when I was at my aunt's... movie was pretty crazy.

Was it Hush?  Deaf woman being hunted by a guy in a white mask?  If so that was a pretty good one.

Tv show review

For some reason i had coffee last night and i couldnt sleep

Umm i forgot wtf it was called lol i think its The Santa Clarita Diet

Anyway Drew Barrymore and her husband are realtores and she randomly becomes a zombie.  She pukes all over while showing a house, dies then comes back.  Basically the show is trying to find a cure while making sure she gets fed.  It is basically like a zombie Dexter.

It was entertaining, i liked it.

So I'll try to do

Elizabeth

Ring Dips
21-15-9 reps

Fran   
Thruster 95 lbs
Pull-ups
21-15-9 reps, for time

Pull-ups 12 reps
3 rounds for time

Karen   
Wall-ball 150 shots

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 25, 2018, 12:44:42 pm
I figured I would make some goals by the end of 2018

BW: 210
Burpee 7 min test: 120 reps
Muscle up: 1
Pull ups strict: 5-10
Kipping: 15
push ups: 100 without stopping
1 min sit ups: 50
Run: basically the same
Cleans(any variation): 250lbs
Snatch.....: 200lbs
Squat: 450ish full squat


So I figured a lot of those are reasonable for the rest of the year, especially if I can get back down to 210 or 205 would be better.

I havent been running due to my calf feeling strained but it feels better now, I bought some gel pad things that you can heat up or freeze and I will be putting them on.

I have an interview tomorrow and I know I responded to the email but i checked the email for the address and my response wasn't showing up so idk if I fucked myself or not.  If not then its shitty but I will have a ton of time to get in shape lol

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 27, 2018, 04:03:11 pm
Tomorrow possibly

Basically its a partner EMOM so 1 person goes and the 2nd person has to do it with whatever time is left within the minute so its on the 1st person to haul ass and the second person to finish before time is up

Partner EMOM

First 10 rounds
5 burpee pull ups
5 hang db power snatch

Second 10 rounds
10 Hang power clean and press
Third 10 rounds
8 wall ball
5 db cleans

4th 10 rounds
5 db thrusters
15 second push up plank

5th 10 rounds
5 Oh squat
5 push ups

6th 10 rounds
BB bear complex thruster x 10 reps(5 front 5 behind)


Any missed rounds adds an additional minute at the end.


What I want to do for a warm up is do 1 round of each beforehand and get the time and adjust.  If one only takes 15 seconds for each then thats not good, Id like 20-25 second rounds so theres a brief break

working out today

got runny nose kinda still but other than that just sore.

I just want to hit heavy stuff, squats, cleans, snatches, thrusters

then hit a emom

So maybe hit heavy cleans, snatches, then heavy thrusters into heavy front squats into heavy back squats(so where i stop on thrusters which is lower than my fsquat just keep going and where i stop on my f squats just keep going up on my back squat.)

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 29, 2018, 11:29:52 am
Emom
4 rounds total
1 exercise per minute(after min 3) before that i was doing 1 exercise plus jumping jax until the end of the minute but i dont wanna wear my legs out.
the exercises were wall balls, burpees and sit ups

Then emom of 30 second jump rope for idk 5 mins

Then ab work

Now waiting for my buddy to get here.

Hang snatch: worked up to 145lbs lol or was it 155, either way puss weight

Hang clean: up to 185 then mashed potatoes at the bottom.

Thruster: mashed potatoes on 185 but still managed to get 205lbs

Front squat: mashed potatoes on 255lbs

Back squat: 315 for a decent single.

Mashed potatoes is when your upper body collapses in the hole and you look like a dog shitting on your way back up.

1 mile run: 8:30 pace on a shit track.  My buddy is running a half marathon this summer and he runs too fast so he ran behind me to slow down lol.

This was a horrible mile and I wanted to die.  I think we did our little wod beforehand also.

Still 830 aint bad for not running much lately and after a long workout.

Weight remains the same grrr when its within the 5lb increment i have to try hard as fuck to push past the barrier.

Post by: John Stamos on April 02, 2018, 11:24:33 am
2 mile jog-- 9.5 min split

HR is up a little but I feel good.

7 min time cap
95lb thrusters
35lb db snatch
3-6-9-12....

Round of 12 +8 thrusters
The thrusters ik were gonna feel heavy but i didnt know itd be that bad

Grace: 30 clean and press for time
11:20 @160lbs/normal grace is 135lbs

2 mile jog then 1 metcon at home.

Negative on the 2 mile jog, my cardio n everything feels fine but my body doesnt want to move so i feel 40lbs heavier on the jog.

Weight 272 so down idk 2lbs but like i said earlier once i am in the middle area like a 275 or 265 its easy to go from 280 to 275 but then ill be stuck for awhile, break through and go to 270 like nothing.  Then typically its not bad until id reach 265 or whatever.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 04, 2018, 12:25:58 pm
I did something different, felt crappy so I didn't want to go heavy cuz I wouldnt get too heavy.

Instead I did

1 mile jog

Bench: up to 225x5x3 footless
db shoulder front raise and side raise for 3 sets
curls up to 50lb dbs
idk basic body building shit for upperbody

SO funny story, Jesus kept me from cheating on my diet today

I had to go get a set of wipers for my car and drove by Arbys and said hm maybe I will see if they have some sort of chicken option or something.  I pulled in and immediately felt like I was going to shit myself, granted they have a bathroom inside but I like the drive thru.  So I immediately left, the feeling went away and pulled into the pizza shop for a sub or something, but I didn't have cash on me and you have to spend at least 10 dollars to use a card. I thought well the sub is only 6 bucks and I don't want pizza so I pulled back out and just went straight home.  Could have sworn I had cash on me but I was wrong.

Sooooo I went home, had some greek yogurt with sunflower seeds, apple, 2 chicken thighs and a salad.  This morning was a grain bar pre-workout

I just ordered isopure zero carb protein which has 3 carbs in it lol  Also a whiteboard so I can plan out my workouts on the spot instead of stealing other peoples workout logs from the drawer.

then
pool room
10 minute AMRAP
2-4-6-8....
wallballs
sit ups
got to round like 18 or something.

nice active recovery type of day, tomorrow see how I feel and probably do the heavy day then smash it on friday.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 05, 2018, 11:47:04 am
Did some stretching and warming up

power snatch: worked slowly up to 135x2(felt decent)
Front squat: my front rack felt amazing
   -  Before I squatted I held up dumbbells so my arms made an L shape to get my lats to flare up and held it there for a bit and after that my front rack felt 100x better.
Anyway: Front rack felt amazing from 155-215 then 225 started to mash potato.  I believe I hit 235 but only limiting factor was the front rack.
Back squat: Worked up to 315 for 3 singles.
power clean: worked up to 205
Everything just felt better today, I am fitting in shirts better than last wk
OH Lunges
20-25-30lb dbs
on my last set with 30s my second to last step i felt like a shock in my left hammy n thought hm that was weird then it happened again I stopped.

THen 5 rounds EMOM just doing push upsx5 sit upsx5 and flutter kicks a 1-2-3-1 1-2-3-2 count to 5.  Abs started cramping

I am laying down with my leg wrapped up, its not bad but still gonna take it easy

I am feeling great though, going find a good warm up routine and just stick with it.

Food today is protein shake post workout

then my typical yogurt, salad, chicken etc meal then protein shake, then idk

I have been cheating but its been at supper i let myself just eat whatever.  I dont over eat though and I still havent been eating beyond 8pm

Going to sit down and plan out my workout for tomorrow assuming my hammy feels good as new.  I will probably do a workout if I feel great but if my hammy is still sore or feels strained or some shit I will made a workout based on that also.

Food
Protein shake
3 thighs
Green beans
Yogurt
Pears
Pickles
Goulash
3 eggs
Beef sticks

Warm up
https://www.cavemantraining.com/bodyweight-exercise/best-warm-crossfit/

Jumping jacks, awesome for anything overhead and overall body warmth
Hip hinge and reach, awesome for snatches, deadlifts, squats and anything overhead
Add a calf raise after the reach, and you’re also warming up the ankles and calves
Squat and pull-over, awesome for mobility work in the warm-up, squat depth/technique and opening up the thoracic
Wood chopper and halo, awesome for shoulders, mid section and rotational work
I include these in my workshops, 30 seconds per exercise and 2 to 3 rounds, 3 rounds if nothing else follows, but I’l usually do some more mobility work afterwards.

5 minutes in Hell

Jog, idk 1 or 2 miles

5 minute Burpee test
Rest
5 minute Sit up test
rest
5 minute push up test
rest
5 minute jump rope test
rest
5 minute air squat test
rest


Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 minutes of:
65 pound Thruster, 10 reps
wall balls x 10


If 60 reps (3 rounds) are completed in under 4 minutes, time extends to 8 minutes.
If 120 reps (6 rounds) are completed in under 8 minutes, time extends to 12 minutes.
If 180 reps (9 rounds) are completed in under 12 minutes, time extends to 16 minutes

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 06, 2018, 12:09:56 pm
20 min bike ride: 6 miles
45 minute walk
Some of those stretches with one where you are on all 4s and you raise 1 arm and opposite side leg up.

The strain is still there in my hammy so i figured i wouldn't push it.  Hopefully monday i will be back at it.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 06, 2018, 04:05:26 pm
Hammy feeling good the last hour after my walk to the mail.

So far
Shaking warm up

5 mins of burpees: 60 total
To put it into perspective I did 73 I think or 75 or something in 7 minutes and the pace I was going like I was just hating life but I could have just kept going with it.  I wanted a 10 burpee per min pace but I did 12 so my goal is 15 burpees per minute pace averaged out.  The first few minutes I was at 15 or 16.
At that pace with 2 extra mins like last time I would have been over 80.
- Mental game is weak i rested because I was tired and not because I needed to.

2 mins cooldown on stepper

6x20 sec speed sit ups: 12s, Last 2 were 10s cuz my vest kept falling off my feet.

Stepper x 2 mins

5 min jj: idk maybe around 300

Going to shake n stretch.

I am thinking I have to wreck my shoulders and grip

OH Press: 135
Hang db snatch: 50s
21-15-9

BW hang, 5x max time

Farmers carry: light but long(depending on how many people are there.)

do it. i still think you'd benefit from doing more comps. you change your stuff up alot, it's fine but, having comps on the schedule will make training & diet decisions easier, things just fall into place.

I feel sick on overnights every time so i went hard on mcdonalds breakfast lol

lolololol.

Yeah I figured after year 1 once I can do stuff like muscle ups and pistols and what not I will do local competitions to see how I stack up.

Today so far is a bust, its super cold in the gym and its weird like my muscles are burning up and like cramping which usually they just burn.  My energy levels are low which i felt on just doing 100 count JR.

Anyway i warmed up
Mile run
The 21-15-9 where i broke it up into 7s, 5s, 3s
The 4 mins of whatever wod i wrote earlier.  Going to walk, stretch and count this as a loss.  Will go home, eat, relax and come back at 12 to make up for it.

No jog, had a calf issue yesterday and it came back today.  Instead jumped into the wods.

First one the row/wallball took maybe 25 minutes total(had about 18 mins of rowing total)  felt really good, i like this wod a lot.  Didnt tire me out but got my HR up and sweaty.

Second wod the db clean and deadlift(changed it)
This sucked because i dont do these heavier than 30s or 35s usually so i was breaking up the sets into 3 and this one hit me hard.

Did cleans but i am so fucking tired i literally just did a few sets up to 185.  Pointless to do snatches.

Going to rest in the pool area and try that last wod then walk.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 10, 2018, 12:55:27 pm
Nope not doing that last wod lol my chest and arms are cramping up so bad right now, will save it for tomorrow.

Oh well i did about 480ish reps today, not too bad.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 11, 2018, 12:48:40 pm
Murph....kinda....not even close

1 mile run
100 db swings/cleans/snatches
Idk the total number for each but they equaled 100
100 air squats: 300 would have killed me
100 push ups/sit ups/JJ
     - chest n tris cramped again so i mixed in the other 2
.25 mile walk: legs trashed n got bored, will finish the walk on the track.

Idk i think with all of the running around this morning threw me off my game and just feeling blah.

Going to figure out 1 more wod to do, walk then get out.

1 min on 30 off, 2 rounds of each for OH Press/cleans/snatch

Just blah, gonna get back to normal tomorrow.

Cant wait to start working out outside

I got the job descriptions and it sounds like its just like 1 of my old jobs so my workouts wont need to be as rough but ill make sure they are.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 12, 2018, 07:30:50 am
A list of stuff I have set up to buy for when it gets warm.

8x8 shed
Rogue BB
2 battle ropes or whatever you wanna call them
1 prowler
cast iron DBS, maybe go for sets of 25s/40s/50s
kettlebells: 1 30lber to go with the 1 i have
20lb wallball
Yoke rack with pull up bar
190lb bumper plate set

I think with those I can do some diesel ass workouts.  I will try to order these maybe around mid may or late may or something.

Just hanging out and just ate some cubes of cheese and a chewy bar to get some calories in because I have a feeling that I will be hurtin today.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 12, 2018, 09:05:20 am
Jogged 1 mile
Streched
Did the clean row wod, felt perfect

Did the db clean snatch squat wod in low 11:50s

Going to do the last wod then do some hanging and farmers carry.

Instead did holds with 225 and hanging holds while flexing my lats

Also on the last row i finished before 19 mins and just went to 20 mins to even it out.

Not going to lie, I love this fucking workout day and I want to make it my fridays and slowly get faster n increase the weights.

I probably rowed about 25 to 28 minutes.

Considering my average km is 4 mins if i am taking it easy, i might have done 4 to 5kms today on the conservative side.

Idk why but rowing is easy for me now, usually 2 minutes kills me.

I also feel like i am tired but not completely worn out, sweating a good amount but i feel good unlike yesterday or the day before where i had 0 energy.

a year is alot tho man. go do one and perform "shitty" (or good who knows) -> it'll be great for your focus. Plus it'll give you an idea of how much you actually enjoy it. You could be like meh, or you could be like damn this is sick!!!!!!!

once you signup for a competition, things much more easily fall into place.

my 2 cents! :d
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 12, 2018, 01:57:43 pm
Alright ill have to look into local competitions and see if you have to be a member or not.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Theres not a whole lot going on now, probably at the end of summer. 

Theres a cf gym near where ill be working but its 100 bucks a month for 3x a wk lmao. Fuck that shit.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 13, 2018, 10:04:10 am
10 min incline walk

Stretch

DT: I thought it was 135 but its supposed to be with 155.
5 rounds
12-9-6
DL- hang power clean - OH Press
3 rounds in - 6:35
5 Rounds in 12:00
Took 35 seconds to write down my 3 round time.

I felt good but my grip was way off from yesterday.  I was planning on bodybuilding stufff today but i got bored quick.

Afterwards did bodybuilding stuff because i didn't know what else to do haha

I want to at least walk tomorrow so that'll be the minimum.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 14, 2018, 06:57:45 pm
I'm going for it, serious shit starts tomorrow

Home workout

150 burpees for time 22:57

21-18-15-12-9-6-3
KB deadlift
KB Fsquat
KB Swing
Push ups
Sit ups

I went out way too hard on these and killed myself early on. I tried 12 per min but that was a no go after 3 mins lol

Next time I will try 8 per minute which will cut it to 18 something minutes.

Thats it, had interruptions, still felt rough.

So the 22:57 was terrible but I can only get better.  If I can do an emom of 8 per minute that might be my limit for now but id like to push it to  13 minutes for 150.

One plan I have is getting used to work at the gym at work, get a routine down and hit 50 burpees for time every day when i get home.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 15, 2018, 06:38:24 pm
Did wod i skipped earlier

Had to take out the swings due to a massive lower back pump.

Still felt decent.

Workout might just be a heavy day with squats and cleans with some prowler work and just feeling the new gym at work.  I may also go to my gym early in the morning before orientation.  I believe they have KBs there so I kind of want to do a lot of KB stuff like oh kb lunges, snatching, squats, swings, the one where you hold the kettlebells with your arms at a 90 degree angle so the KBs are upside down etc.

Idk, I will figure it out.  For awhile I just want to do 30 - 40 minutes total with the 50 burpees when I get home.  When I order my equipment then on nice days I will be able to just use their gym for cardio equipment and home for everything else.  I had some of my best workouts outside so that will be dope.


I've gotten an average of 56 BPM for my heart rate...did I just become a super hero?
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 16, 2018, 05:37:03 pm
This job sucks that I took, its a new area so no1 knows how to do things right.

Oh well, going to do 50 burpees n call it good enough.  Going to hit up the gym tomorrow n see how it is.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 16, 2018, 08:08:40 pm
Tomorrow may be either

Heavy Grace(175)
Or
DT w/155

2mile run

That will get me like 40 minutes or so and be good enough.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 18, 2018, 09:03:51 am
So that job sucked shit.

I went into it thinking I was going to be a machine operator....absolutely not, they were about as automated as before the industrial revolution.  They had piss poor safety standards with people who had no clue what they were doing, for instance one person didnt want to put these metal pieces on the floor or else hed have to sanitize them, instead he put them on the paper towel dispenser  on a platform above everyone.  they got hit by a hose and almost fell on me.  I also had someone while I was building a pallet, run into my pallet with their forklift and damn near tip it onto me.  Also, being in a cooler and getting blasted by water is amazing which is why I am now pounding dayquil and shit hoping to get rid of my headache so I can go to the gym.  I said screw that place, I am not going to bother fucking around there with how they run things.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 19, 2018, 07:52:29 am
Today I am feeling liiiiiiiiiiiiiike

Warm up

Jog 1 mile

ME Fsquat into back squat: 265/335
Snatch

OH lunge wod..i havent figured that one out yet....hmmm

21-15-9-6-3
Db squat
Wallball
Oh Lunge down and back

Felt good

Hit 265 front squat which is a 2018 PR by 10lbs, my previous ones was a front rack with fingers and I was just mashed potatoes, the last one was with a full hand grip on it and the weight just felt a ton lighter but still mashed potatoes.

The other wods felt good

I have to go to work and hand in my form to change to the seasonal so I will stop back at the gym and just do more shit.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 19, 2018, 01:50:21 pm
Round 2

Push press: up to 225
Felt heavy in the rack but floated up.

Lat pulldowns: 3x10

25 min AMRAP: 5.5 rounds
20 push up
10 sit up
30 cal row.

Im not sure exactly how many pulls a cal is since the thing is messed up but my buddy told me 3 and it takes about 3 pulls to move the km counter up by 1.  So i believe the km counter is actually doing calories lol

Going to head home and eat.



Just ordered a sled from Rogue Fitness.  So I am going back to seasonal which means my diet will change and I will be walking more, also doing a cardio session at night and normal workouts in the morning if I am doing an afternoon shift and midnights will be workout when I get out of work.

I start a refresher next week which is tits cuz they have to pay me full rate so it will be a big wk. 

Later will be stepper, burpeesx50 and stretches.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 19, 2018, 06:07:33 pm
Tomorrow

Warm up

Four rounds for time of:
Overhead squat 21 reps
Run 400 meters

Then, 3 rounds of:
75 pound Dumbbell deadlift, 10 reps
50 pound Dumbbell front squat, 10 reps
50 pound strict OH Press 10 reps
Then, 200 Single-unders

If the pool area is open, I will instead bring my deck of cards
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 20, 2018, 09:36:58 am
Mile jog

DT with 135
On pace to beat my old times but then they decided to do a stupid fucking lockdown drill so now I have to stay here, get cold, warm up again and do the fucking workout all over again.  Itd be nice if we had some sort of warning so we can come in after the damn drill. 

Did 2 rounds before drill
3 rounds post drill: 5:39
Old time for 3 was like 6:38

Difference was i stopped and rested 1 rep short of each movement.

Going to figure out what else to do.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 21, 2018, 02:48:19 pm
2 mile jog

Used map my walk, shouldve used strava but i wasnt thinking.  It must have cut out throughout my run because from where i started in my driveway to the end of the road was 1 mile pretty much exactly. On my way back when i hit my starting point i was at 1.88 miles at my first miles pace or even a little faster and no way was i over a minute behind my first mile.  If anything my second mile was where i was warmed up and it was faster.

Oh well, not bad for feeling like shit, and not warmed up.

The weather is getting better finally, it has still been snowing lately which sucks ass.  I was order my stuff here next month maybe.  Especially for midnight shifts ill want to sleep til 3 or so and go outside to workout.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 22, 2018, 11:25:08 am
I'd say 4.5 mile walk this morning.

Coming up tomorrow i will be afternoons soooo I will be doing a normal workout in the AM and a 30 min run after work.

Gotta go on my laptop to plan out the workout.

Warm up

Jog

5 rounds for time
10 cleans @135
10 back squats @135
15:45
My last round was my best besides the first where i went unbroken which was a huge mistake.  I underestimated this workout.  Last round was doubles with 5 breathes between sets and triples on the squats.  Strength wasnt an issue, only cardio.

21-15-9
Row
WallBall
push up
10:30
I definitely feel weak today

30-20-10
Thrusters DB
Snatch
If i do this I feel like it will just be a waste tbh.  I will save it for later in the week.  Probably going to just run and eat.

Cool down
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 23, 2018, 10:29:54 am
Tonight will be a 30 minute jog after work.  Depending on which packer I am on, during lunch i could go up and get it over with.

I've had a food baby in me all wknd and i felt shitty from it but I am fixing that now lol.  I feel as though i need to go back and do 1 BB day again just to get some strengthish work in, my push ups are feeling a bit crappy.  Also, i cant do pull ups so i need more direct back work.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 24, 2018, 08:01:58 am
Idt i am doing anything today.  It was hot AF at work and my legs are raw from sweating last night.  I probably did about 4 miles or so last night at work.  If i do go itll be a regular BB day.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 24, 2018, 08:37:45 pm
Probably get about 4.5 miles in today

Will workout tomorrow, i wore my workout pants today so I am not sweating nearly as much.

5 miles, not too bad.


Tomorrow

Complete as many reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
1 back squat, 1 shoulder press, 1 deadlift
2 back squats, 2 shoulder presses, 2 deadlifts
3 back squats, 3 shoulder presses, 3 deadlifts
Etc.
I used 135 4 OH Press and 155 for S&DL
ROUND OF 8 COMPLETED WITH 3 SECONDS LEFT.

Jackie The Rower
 1000m row/50 thrusters/30 lat pulldowns.
What i will do is 1000m row after thrusters and pulldowns.  Probably just do 4 min splits.  20 mins or so, might have been a little less, my timer on my phone started after the rower.

I feel pretty decent, going to walk and jog a little if my legs feel good.  Wasn't a bad workout, it got me sweating but no jacked up HR but still I liked it.

Oh yeah my warm up was 15-10-5 cal row and wall ball.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 25, 2018, 11:28:31 am
268 today

Not jumping for joy though, last night was pretty much just protein shakes and the only solid food i had was a few hot dogs.  Also the sweating.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 26, 2018, 09:29:32 am
My sled is coming tomorrow and i didnt sign up for the wknd so i will be able to use it for a few days.

Today is i think my bb day(upper body) with a warm up of idk and a wod at the end, maybe the row/wallball one, but ill do 30-20-10.  Should still be a 10 or 15 min wod.

  Tomorrow will be more strength based with olys and squats with 2 wods.

Did it, cardio is a lot better, HR didnt jump and yet i really didnt take any breaks. 

Tomorrow i also have to smash hammies, abs and grip.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 27, 2018, 09:54:55 am
Today sucks

Jog

Stretch

Fsquat up to 225x3 doubles, my wrist felt like it was going to rip off.

Clean: 135 felt fast AF, 165 did not and 185 felt worse.

Adjusting to going to sleep around 1230am or so is shitty but i will get there, before i was sleeping at like 9pm or so. 

Going to figure out a wod, do some farmers carries and hit up hammies.

7 min wod 11.6 open workout
3-6-9-12 etc
Thrusters and pull ups.

I did round of 9 and some of 12 because i decided to do the workout as is.

The first few rounds were terrible strict whatever ones then i figured i would try to kip and i strung 4 together which is dope, finished the round of 12.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 29, 2018, 11:08:17 am

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 29, 2018, 12:54:04 pm
So looking at my work week, it looked like i averaged like 3 or 4 miles per day.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 30, 2018, 10:28:11 am
1 mile jog

Biceps are still a bit sore so instead i did the 50-40...10
Cal row and wallball.  I dont remember my time for the other ones but this one is the legit one.  I went unbroken on wallballs and my time was 26:10.  I think i said the other ones were like 25 or 26 but no way.

Ima see how a few things feel and go from there.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 01, 2018, 11:29:49 am
Nothing, feeling blah

Going to do stuff tonight maybe after work.  Do a mile jog, quick wod and get out.

Going to start setting my alarm for like 8am or some shit so i can get in a routine.

My sled is together and will drag later.

what's your whole home setup now? seems like you're putting together a good bunch of gear.

Not much,  I haven't ordered my stuff yet.  I basically just have a weight vest, kettlebell, sled, GHR.  Once i get my check I will order the bumpers, barbell and some more kettlebells and a medicine ball.  I basically just want to do heavy olys at home so i can drop the weight and some wods.

Also, 1 way i am making sure I wake up earlier is i took down my black blinds so i can wake up with the sun.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2018, 08:04:34 am
That worked, woke up at 630 and felt good but i did a 21-15-9 of thrusters-wallballs-push ups and for some reason my legs and lower right lat cramped up so bad that i had a hard time falling asleep.  Im going to just drag the sled
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2018, 09:29:17 am
1.5 mile walk in 30 minutes with sled on grass.  I only used 1 45lb plate but on grass it feels a lot heavier.  On rocks and dirt it feels weightless with only a plate but grass made me breathe harder.

I just ordered an outdoor container for the bumpers and kbs/dbs etc.  Also, i ordered a battle rope that i will just hook up to my sled.  50ft x 1.5"  the 2" was sold out but oh well.

Felt good, gonna just run after work instead of lift.

Tomorrow will be same shit with DT.  i think my arms are fine.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2018, 09:44:05 pm
Gotta keep up the training, realistically budweiser doesnt offer a pension where if i go with the state i could get like what near 50k a year for a pension.  Yeah it is a no brainer.

Yesterday was 10 miles total

On the bright side, i feel as though i am losing weight.  Also, it has been so shitty that i have already walked 6 miles at work alone and 2 miles beforehand and i still have an hour and 15 mins left.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 03, 2018, 08:49:53 am

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 03, 2018, 10:04:17 am
10 min jog

30-20-10 row/wallball

Weight: 266.0. Took a pic but my phone added like .6 to it.

It was warm last night n it took awhile to find my window fan so i didnt get to bed until like 2am or 230 and woke up at 730ish, went back to sleep until 830ish.  Basically i just feel dead, also when i foam rolled i cramped up easily so I will buy some magnesium n see if that helps.

Yesterday did 8.19 miles total

Going to get myself up and moving.  Jog for a warm up and get after a wod, idk which one yet.

I am thinking Grace and jackie for the wods.

That was rough, getting back into it sucks but felt good.  Did a 10 min row instead of jog.

Tomorrow

I might do like a sled walk 2 mins on then 2 mins battle ropes etc. for however long.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 05, 2018, 07:41:15 pm
Did a lot of ropes and sled drags.

The battle ropes are dope, basically instant burn in the shoulders and jacks your hr up.

Coming later a Cobra Kai review.

I hit that fucking refresh button again while writing the review, yeah not doing that all again.  My chromebook doesn't have a capslock but it has a fucking refresh button.

Anyway, if you like the movie then go watch it, if you dont like the movie then go watch it, it is a badass show.

Grace w/o press: 165x30
Thrusters up to 175

21-15-9
Clean @135
Thrusters @ 95
Push ups

Feeling pretty dead.  I might just end it, tomorrow do a running day with a DB wod at the end.

Weight was like 269 but i drank a lot of fluids and my food intake was up on sunday so I am guessing that is where a lot of the weight gain came from.

Post by: John Stamos on May 08, 2018, 08:51:44 am
Jog for 20 minutes, arch started to ache
3km I am guessing Row, kind of hard to tell.

My back is kind of killing me so idk if i should call it a day or not.

Also, i have been getting 6+ miles a day and probably 4 miles at work so I have to adjust to that.  Today is the last day for the run this wk so tomorrow and on i will have to clean at work or something so my mileage will go up.

7 min wod
1-2-3.....
Wall ball
Db snatch @40lbs
Got to round 11 and finished wallballs only.
Could have gone faster but in the beginning i did alternating snatches.

Either way, i feel good

Today I am cleaning at work so i will be sweating my nuts off anyway and walking a lot.  Plus my niece and new nephew are over so ill spend time with them.

I also bought my mom a new fridge for mothers day so I will probably hold off on the bumpers and all that for a few weeks but my container comes today so I can put what I have in it which will make getting outside to workout a lot easier.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 10, 2018, 09:22:40 am
20 min jog @10.5 splits

7 min time cap
1-7 of thrusters @95 & pull up/push up.  I did 1 pull up each round and the rest was push ups.  I figured i over did it last time and strained my biceps so i am easing into pull ups.

Ima try to wash my shorts, i think it is soap but it looks like i have a huge cum stain on them lol

Last night i walked a ton and just constant sweat.  Had to have been nearly 6 miles but since i sweat so much i didnt have my phone on me.

Doing the same thing probably tonight so thatll be fun.

Turns out it was deodorant.

1 hour jog

Total mileage is 7.5 miles but idk how many miles I ran tbh, couldnt have been more than 5.5 cuz my pace definitely wasnt 6mph.  Either way, running an hour when I havent been running isnt too bad.  Going to cook my food n relax.

Yeah, I am still going to do a half marathon but i will do it when i feel good and strava it.  Maybe july will give me the time I need.  Im sure i can run/walk one now but I want to try it unbroken.

Today

Jogx10 mins
Dynamic leg swings
The stretch where youre on all 4s and you raise 1 arm and the opposite leg.

Helen.  Did 3 pull ups and 9 push ups.  If i try to continuously kip i can feel the strain my fat ass puts on my arms and back.  I cant remember my time but i was doing 2:15 quarter miles which doesnt make sense since i was at a 8:34 pace.

I did 3 rounds of DT.  It felt heavy lol. I have to remember i am basically restarting myself.

Gonna walk n get my oil changed.

Total miles for this wk so far: 30.51 as of right now.  I expect it to be near 35 or so by the end of the day.

Yeah it is a good time, I even had a good time watching it and I hate movie theaters to the point where having to listen to people eating, talking n dropping shit ruins the movie for me.

Today was buffet grace: 30 clean and press for time, every 10 reps the weight increases, i did 135/145/155

30-20-10 cal row/wallball


Weight: 265 lmao. I have been eating so shitty lately so the fact that I am down in weight is surprising.

Home improvement review.

A sitcom that I grew up on that I found hilarious.  20 something years later I bought season 1 to see if it still holds up.  I still laugh my ass off at this show and there are quite a few jokes and references that are relevant today.  Idk if someone who was born after the 90s would like it but then again it isnt a show where the kids are playing on cell phones and having stupid internet problmlems.


The Strangers Prey at Night:

The first one was interesting because it was suspensful, besides the friend getting shot on accident, nothing happens until the end but several scenes are made to believe something would happen.  In this movie it is basically, set up reason why they go to trailer park resort then killing.  It seems to rely more on jump scares rather than a creepy feeling of seeing someone standing behind the protagonist in their house without them knowing.  So far there is no rhyme or reason, they just magically appear wherever the kids are like they can see into the future which is a turn off.  Also, the kid has a gun, pointing it at the killer and doesnt pull the trigger, are you fucking kidding me?  This kid shits after he showers and deserves to get killed off if he does.  When you see someone trying to kill your sister, you pull the trigger fuck face.  Anyway, I will finish it and see how it goes. 

Well, I finished it, it sucked
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Did that workout also did deadlifts but did then like I was doing a pull for a clean.  Worked up to 325 which was good enough for me.  Hopefully it will help make my cleans feel a bit lighter, just have to make sure i do it once a week.

Tomorrow is triple 3

3km row
300 double unders(600 singles is close enough)
3 mile run

Really i think that might be plenty lol

I am tempted to do this at home or the park, i can think of something else maybe the battle ropes or something instead of row.

12 min tabata doing JJ, high knees and butt kicks
600 jump rope count
3 mile run

51 minutes

I am tempted to get a med ball and weights, working out outside is so much better.

Spoiler alert, i bought a med ball and 2 dumbbells but they are on back order

Yesterday we took my nephew to a zoo.  I dont really like zoos but it is cool to be able to see animals you typically wont see, especially up close.  On the other hand, it is a dick move to have these animals caged up considering most of them looked miserable and smaller than they should.

Movie reviews

Jurassic world 2
The people in the theater ruined it for me.  They brought their kids and the kids kept fucking freaking out scared shitless.

Anyway, i liked it more than JW 1, it gets away from the whole theme park thing and now you have dinosaurs being sent to the states. 

The acting was fine and bryce dallas howard ditched her weird haircut and looks like a babe and a pawg.  Chris pratt was also good, i just dont like his little texan or whatever accent he tries to do.  Once it comes out on amazon video i think i will like it more when its nice and quiet.  Anyway, it was fun, a lot of nice camera work and CGI, i liked it going from the island to a mansion.  Thats all i will say without spoilers haha

Anyway its worth watching at least once.

Speaking of quiet.

A quiet place

This is an awesome movie

So pretty much there are monsters that hunt by sound and it follows a family trying to live in a world where they cant make much noise.

The level of detail that they went into was way more than i had expected.  They put trails of sand or some shit down to make less noise while walking, one point loading a shotgun under a blanket, learning sign language etc.

Thats really it with the plot though, kid gets killed by the monster because his sister gives him a rocket ship(without the batteries but the kid grabs them on the way out of the store)  that leads to a time skip and the mom is preggers.  So now you are at a point where they have to just survive with a baby on the way.

I liked it because they had to use facial expressions for their acting for most of the movie and you got a sense like they were actually scared or serious or whatever.

I liked it and i thought the attacks on the movie for being "too pro life" were dumb as fuck.  Killing the baby would have been a cop out, instead now you have a whole new situation going on and with how detailed they were with keeping quiet, i wanted to see how they planned on keeping a baby quiet.

So I have been having a pain in my foot lately. Last night I had to take some pain reliever just to get to sleep.

I bought some new insoles so hopefully that will help a little bit.  I'm sure i can still run as long as i use my new running shoes.

Been getting around 15k steps a day so not gonna over work myself, especially when my foot needs to recover.

Tonight could be more walking or not a lot, depends on how everything runs.

2,000-m row

Saving it for tomorrow, this morning i just wasn't feeling it, quads cramped

Weight: 257, probably 256.8 after I take my dump


Just worked up to 225 for fsquat, front rack was shit
Back squat worked with 225 for 5x3 focusing on full squatting

Oh lunges, did 2 sets with 40s
Gonna stretch n hit the row and run workout


Since the rower doesn't count in km anymore, when it did I was at like 3:05km so I just did 6 mins and instead of counting 18 laps every time I ran 10 mins.  My miles were definitely faster than 10 mins though, I went with 10 mins cuz i figured id feel like shit but nope.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 18, 2018, 08:32:41 am
So far

Run x 10 mins (20 laps, 18=1mile)

Clean pulls with the shrug up to 275x3

Lat pulldowns: 3x10

7 minutes wod
3-6-9-12....
Thrusters@95
Push ups

Made it to round 15 n did 7 thrusters.

Typically with this workout I will do like 65lbs if i havent done it in awhile but I forgot to do that so it killed me.  Mostly just my upper back is so tight so my front rack is terrible

Gonna run a mile and peace out

I have a workout in mind on sunday, looks like it'll be cloudy with a chance for rain.  If i get to the track early enough I should be good.

I plan on 12 min paces for the half marathon, i figured that will give me wiggle room. 
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 20, 2018, 10:40:22 am
Did cleans and press to 215

Clean deadlifts up to 295x5

DB swings up to 70sx10

DB deadlifts up to 100zx10

Ran for 20 minutes.  My S health app is so wrong that it said I ran 2.85 miles in 20 minutes lol way off.

Anyway I found my natural cadence which doesn't seem too slow but just feels good and I don't breathe heavy so that'll be my pace for sunday.

Lower back and it band along with forearms are sore.  I have no clue wtf happened.  This wk will just be walks and when I'm not oddly sore I will start doing body part splits for a traditional bodybuilding workout.

Getting a massage on Thursday so hopefully that will help with my mid back pains.  Right between my shoulder blades always gets super tight and hopefully rub everything else out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 14, 2018, 10:58:17 am
Going to basically walk this wk and next wk hopefully all my weird aches will be gone.
I will do a slow build up 4wk block of 3 exercises per body part at 2x10.  Heavy enough to just get a decent pump and wk 3 to 4 I will increase weights.  By then I should be good to get into a normal bb workout.

It will go like this
Mon: Chest/tris
Tues: back/bis
Wed: legs/shoulders
Thursday: olympic
Friday: either off day or long distance run.  If off then the run will be Saturday.

Each day i will try to do a 2 mile run or so.

Yeah, I was surprised to see it.  Well I have to bust my ass for the next month.  I received a letter from a local police department to take the fitness test and I'm going to do it.  I don't mind my current job but it's just so fucking boring.  I figured I'd take the apprenticeship and just keep doing the stuff for the police department and see where I am at.

What ill need is 38 push ups, 30 sit ups or something, 1.5 mile run n 12:20.

My goal is to get to 9 minute pace for 3 miles.  I figured if I can get to that then a 8 minute pace for half the distance shouldn't be hard.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 25, 2018, 12:15:48 pm
First run

Down the road and back

2.04 miles
22 minutes.

The first part of the road is a slight constant incline, then it somewhat flattens then the last 8th of a mile or so is a steep hill.  The first 3/4 of a mile was warming up, I felt super stiff and the slow incline kills me usually.

Overall felt good.  I would like to get that run down to 18 minutes.

I'm going to buy some vit. B today to see if that helps.  I haven't had a day off in like a month or month and a half so I've been worn out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 26, 2018, 12:15:20 pm
2.02 miles (same distance as yesterday just different apps)

9:57 avg split.

Felt horrible as far as stiffness and stomach gurgling from breakfast.  But I ran 2 minutes faster I think.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 27, 2018, 10:18:57 am
Normal chest n tris day. 3x10 of 3 to 4 exercises each.

Run on dreadmill.
2 miles in 20:04.  Walked for about 1 minute or so to pick songs.

Felt easy at 10 min pace.  Probably can do 9 min 2 mile splits on the treadmill.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 28, 2018, 11:54:49 am
2 mile road jog

Previous time: 9:57 avg split
New time: 9:07 avg split

Total run time: 18:42

What I did differently

Quick warm up: quads super tight and made my legs heavy.

Kept a slightly faster pace from start til the road flattened out

Faster pace down hill
Slightly faster or same pace uphill
Slightly faster pace flattened out(by this time I was warmed up)
and of course kept a faster pace back down hill and down my driveway.

So I pretty much ran slightly faster lol

That was about the fastest I could go, if it was 10 degrees cooler out that'd help and if I did a legit warm up so I felt the same on both miles.

Tonight is back and bis

Hit shoulders today instead of last night.

20 min jog
Snatch (full) small increments from 95 to 135
Power clean: 135 power clean into deadlift into TNG power clean.  Small increments up to 185
OH press: 95 to 135
DB side and front raise 3x10

The snatches were like 3 reps
Oh presses were 10 down to 5 strict.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 30, 2018, 12:18:06 pm
Sample meals

Bfast: 3 eggs, packet of oatmeal
Lunch: Protein shake 60 grams
Dinner: birds eye dinners, now is the balsamic flavored one with green beans, taters and chicken.  Cottage cheese and greek yogurt.  I threw in more ground beef and chicken into it.
Late night: to kill cravings I take 2 scoops of ice cream and just put it in a glass of milk.  It's bad but it keeps me from cheating throughout the day.

I am at about 150ish carbs, 120ish protein and 75 fat. Roughly 1800 calories, i need to add in another protein shake.  That will put me around 2200 then ill slowly increase it if im still losing weight.  I'm thinking 2500 might be maxed out.

Non running shoes, shitty track, 50 degrees, lots of clothes, shitty diet yesterday etc.  I figured with all that this can  my worst possible scenario so I figured better do it now.

Yeah haha I was expecting 1.3 or so.

Movie Review

Summer of 84

Basically typical movie of a serial killer in the neighborhood and a group of kids suspect it to be their neighbor so they do investigations etc etc.

What typically happens in movies like this(for instance the shia labouf one) happens except the ending is way better.  There isn't much to say but when you get to the police station scene you think ok this movie is over and that was anti climatic but thank god it continues or else it would have been a terrible movie.  If it ended where you think it does then there was just no feeling of they are fucked when they go into the killers house to search the basement considering he is at a festival.  Overall it was a good time waster, idt i would need to watch it again but still decent.

I am thinking about just walking today and maybe getting on the bike or rower with some back. 

I hit 28-29000 steps last night which is the most I have ever done, its like over 15 miles for the day lmao so yeah around my ankles is pretty sore.

Yesterday 30 min jog with back and bis

Today

1hr 10 min run.

Had to stop on the track about 15 minutes in because the kids went on it so I headed to the dreadmill.

The first run was 1.7 miles
Second was 4.7 miles.
6.4 miles.

Nice run, my performance is coming back since I've been eating kinda shitty the last few days lol

Oh yeah on Monday work was so shitty that I logged 29k steps which is over 15 miles throughout the day.

Feeling decent going to hit some bw stuff after work.

My main concerns are  sit ups, ive always been shitty at them.

Run: 5 mins @6.1mph
Fire drill ugh
Run: 20 minutes@6.1 little over 2 miles then I decided instead of just keeping at 6.1 I decided to do a 1.5 test (non stop from after the fire drill)
1.5 time: 11:59.

Then the chest n tris workout.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 17, 2018, 12:53:17 pm
So the plan is to get to about 235 for the test, right now avg weight is 248.

So I have a little over 2 weeks.

As much as I don't want to but I think i will need to do a morning and night workout.  Night workout just being a jog, idk if it'll be 2 mile sprints or what and push ups and sit ups.

I also went shopping and I am going to eat a lot better.

Bfast is 1 packet of oatmeal and 2-3 eggs
My lunch and supper will be split up at work since I cooked everything so late.

I bought taco bowl things and I put beef with taco seasoning in some of them and deli turkey, chicken and gouda in others.  I will split those up along with jerky, cottage cheese and chiboni yogurt.

It's more food but hopefully my performance will go up so I can have a faster natural cadence.

Post by: John Stamos on September 18, 2018, 10:42:20 am
Same kind of run as yesterday except got booted from the track because of the kids 10 mins in.  Went on the treadmill for 30 mins @6.5 mph

Probably over 4 miles total.

Gonna do basic back and bis with push ups and sit ups.

Only did db rows and pull downs.  Left wrist has a sharp pain, I could barely hold onto the 80lb dumbbell.

Sit ups was trash: 28 in a minute, 29 with my arms flailing around.

My quads just crapped out on me and hopefully it's because of the running beforehand.  I did flutter kicks afterwards and push ups.

I need 38 which is fucking stupid because sit ups are harder than push ups and I only need 30 push ups.  This test is literally meant for smaller people which is why there have been officers in my general area who have gotten their asses kicked on calls.  Oh well, I'll just try to increase it by 10 by next saturday.

Post by: John Stamos on September 19, 2018, 12:42:20 pm
7 minute jog....fucking fire drill went off
32 minute jog, felt decent, starting to see signs of certain aches so going to maybe take Thursday to just bike and row

Did some OH pressing and face pulls

30 push ups

sit up test 1 minute: idk the pace i need to go so i just decided to go for the full minute at an even pace and ended on 28.  So i got 28 today and I didn't feel too worn out, i felt myself starting to break down but yesterday when i did it by 26-28 i was flailing and shit and was burnt out by maybe 40-50 seconds in.  I did another set after but cramped up a few reps in and considering the jump i made just from yesterday to today, by next Saturday i am hoping to be good to go.  One thing i did was some hip flexor stretches and stretched my quads which are amazingly tight.

Tabata

Abs didn't cramp up but there was 40 seconds between sets.  I need to go almost as fast as I can for nearly a minute straight to get to my goal and that's not happening right now.

Gonna do flutter kicks and get out of here.

Yeah it was cold lol

Did the walk

So this week is high volume for push ups and sit ups and speed work for my runs.  I'd like to get to about 80 reps of sit ups, 80 reps of push ups and do .25 runs in 2 minute splits. That's like 4.5 laps on the track at the gym so I will do 2 laps walking for my rest time and just keep at it until I crap out real bad.  Maybe get 3 miles worth total.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 24, 2018, 10:06:30 am
1.5 or 1.75 run doing .25 splits.

First few were about 1:50 to 1:53 and had to slow it down a bit to 2 mins

Push ups and sit ups using cards
Sit ups: 87 total
Push ups: 58 total

Not feeling the best today, I tried a mile run at 8 min pace but I cramped up which hasn't happened ed since I got back into it.

Going to stretch relax for the day and hit the stepper and more sit ups.

Standing cable crunches

Crunches on a bench with a 25lber in my forehead.

Gonna head out, do an afternoon walk and wod

4 mile walk

If i get my interview or offered the apprenticeship this week then I pretty much won't care about my fitness test.  Well if I get the apprenticeship I won't care to do it but if I only get an interview then I will.

Either way, after this Saturday I want to get into oly lifting.

I would keep 25 minute jogs every day and try to figure out a good oly program along with stretching and all that.  I will be looking at some oly books and seeing which one would be best, especially considering I am natty and most of oly lifters aren't.

nice!

most oly books don't have PED-programs, from what i've seen. just simple programs/periodization, technique breakdown etc.

it'd probably be a good idea to get some solid 1-on-1 instruction early on. you really want to avoid learning bad habits/technique with oly's. so if instruction is an option, maybe get some sessions in.

keep up the runs too.. lots of videos of oly lifters running hah! (srs).

Yeah idt 1 on 1 instruction is possible, idt there are any actual oly gyms or anything near me.

Today I ran for 25 minutes, rowed for 10 and biked for 10

Did 3 sets of sit ups
First set was idk a lot, second and third were 15 and 10
Then same for push ups.

Went to the store and stocked up on chicken and n what not.

Got denied the apprenticeship, so going hard on this test.

I just did another minute sit up test.
37, last one was terrible lol. I need 38 but I did a 24 minute stair master walk beforehand.  Going to do a minute push up test.

I started off what a week or so ago cramping at 20 reps now Im at 37 in a minute.

https://www.t-nation.com/training/olympic-lifting-made-simple

I mean that seems like its not too bad, at least it is structured.

There isn't a set percentage for intensity or anything but it says any lift that falls within 10% of your best is to be counted, and pretty much heavy sets that can be done with great technique.

For awhile I will be doing a ton of sets with small jumps until i find where I should be.

SO there are 4 days of oly lifting and on day 5 I will do a bodybuilding day, also 25 minute jogs before each workout.  weekends will be walking


Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 26, 2018, 09:48:16 am
Stretch

1.5 run

I might have messed up on the count but I never gave myself the lap I was confused about so it was exact or I did 1 or 2 extra laps which is about 30 seconds per lap. 

I stopped it at about 2:25 left from 15 minutes so 12:35

Which is where I want to be and I just need to remember to run harder.  I definitely wasn't so worn out that I couldn't make up those 5 seconds so I am looking good.

Going to bike for 20 and row for 10 then sit ups and push ups.

Weight: 243.0

Stretching

On 1 knee with my other leg out front bent at a 90 degree angle just basically keep upright and push my hips forward to stretch my quads.
Then i would straighten out the front leg a little bit to hit my hammies

bring my front leg in and lean to the open side for glutes and what not then i would extend my rear leg

I did the sit ups and push ups

did a lot of leg swings

i havent been feeling the best this week, Tomorrow I want to do 1 last big workout, 1 hour run to keep my engine up, then some higher volume abs and push ups.

Friday i have my physical, then depending on how much time I have I will either walk or get my massage.  Either way I will at the gym be walking and stretching.

Oh yeah

My ab routine was 3x? sit ups
3 sets of flutter kicks
3 sets of dead bugs lol
basically lay on your back with your legs in the air at a 90 degree angle with arms straight up.  Lower 1 arm and stretch out and lower opposit leg and come back and repeat.

I was going to do more tonight but I think i shouldn't go overboard with it.  Idt I will get that much fitter in just a few days.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 27, 2018, 11:07:39 am
I'm a bitch

Ran 3 miles
29:30ish maybe
I wasn't going for a 3 mile time but I decided to test my 1.5 out 1 last time at a 8 min pace on the treadmill.

I stopped around 1.20 because idk i mean i was worn out but I didn't need to.  Constantly seeing the time and distance made it a lot worse and idt the treadmills are that accurate. I've hit low 12s before and on the treadmill it feels like a sprint compared to my pace on a track.

Either way, gonna sit up and push up with other AB stuff then rest. Tomorrow like I said is a walk and stretch.  Maybe a mile walk and I'll bring my supple Leopard book.


1 minute sit up test
40 reps, slowed down around 28 t0 30 then really slowed down around 36.
I had my hands behind my head but not locked, buuut my feet kept getting loose which was screwing me up.  Either way, I'll be ready.
Gonna hit some AB exercises and push ups and get outta here

Pre test on the way there i was thinking about half a banana and a small thing of OJ or juice box for fast carbs.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 28, 2018, 07:35:47 am
Woke up

Avg HR BPM is 54

My massage is at 430 tonight so I will do my physical, walk/stretch and then relax before I go get it.

Then basically tomorrow I will have a juice box and half a banana 30 minutes prior to the test and see how well I prepped.

If for some reason I am stopped because the sit ups disqualify me, I'll go to the track afterwards and run the 1.5 mile to show that I can at least do that.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 28, 2018, 10:31:59 am
1.5 walk and a lot of stretching.

I am also looking at possibly going back to college for the PTA program.

Either way I'm keeping my options open.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 28, 2018, 06:57:40 pm
Had a discussion with my masseuse and I ultimately decided on the PTA program.  I emailed the person that runs it and found out the classes i need ahead of time and she's holding a q&a type of thing on Monday that I will go to.

I believe the PTA program is better for me and I have more of a passion for it.  I can  also make a good living and still open a gym up on the side.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 29, 2018, 08:38:28 am
So my mom works for the state and through the union I can do college degrees for free so I will see if i can get my prerequisite courses done there so I can save at least a couple grand.  There's also someone I know who is a PT that works with athletes so I'm looking to see if ill be able to get in with him.

Anyway, this wknd is rest and fatty weekend then next week is....

Run 25 minutes
3 days will be oly days
Mon/wed/Friday
Tuesday is crossfit
Thursday is bodybuilding
Weekends are work/walking.

I chose 3 days because 1 of the days in the program off blocks and that's not possible for me.

So Monday

25 minute run
stretch/abs
-C&J Complex x 2 sets
-Power clean 3x3
-C&J 3x2
-Clean pull from the floor 3x3
-RDL 3x5

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 01, 2018, 11:06:52 am
Well my wrist pain is back

I Googled it and the closest I found was De Quervain's tenosynovitis which is common and it's swelling of the tendons below the wrist which causes pain on the thumb side of your hand.

I had a hard time cleaning and what not today but still tried.

Did the complex
Power clean up to 185x3
Clean pulls up to 1x2@275
Had a hard time finishing cleans and gripping the bar so instead of clean and Jerk and rdl I did leg press@10 plates for 10 then hack squat 2 plates plus 2 quarters.  The platform isn't wide enough so the hack squat feels weird.

Going to hit some abs, walk and get outta here

Oh yeah also hit 2.5 miles in 25 minutes.
  I have a new goal for that and it is basically as much distance as I can cover in 25 minutes so my goal is 3 miles.  Once I hit my goal is will increase it by .25 until it becomes unreasonable.  The goal would be 7 minute mile splits.

So until my wrist shit gets better i will probably do half bodybuilding and have crossfit and stay away from too much stuff that bends my wrists.

So what I mean is tomorrow for example

Bench
Incline db press
150 Wallball for time
21-15-9
Push ups on dumbbells (keep a straighter wrist)
DB front squat
Tricep work
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 01, 2018, 01:49:23 pm
Going to do a bit of cardio soon on my stepper with some stretching.

I am also thinking about throwing in skill work when I am all good which would be getting better at pull ups and all that jazz and eventually  building up to muscle ups, handstand walking, handstand push ups.

I haven't done cleans or anything in quite some time and yet the 185s didn't feel too bad except my wrist not wanting to bend.

My food for the day was 1 coffee with creamer
1 juice box
3 eggs/chicken/cheese/deli turkey

no lunch because I am going to my parents for pizza and wings and what not so that will take up a bit of calories.

GOALZ by idk next summer

315x3-5 clean like I want to be able to to TNG 315 for 3 to 5
Jerk/push press 350
Snatch: shit I would be happy with 250
Muscle up: I would like to string together 10
Handstand walk 50 ft unbroken.
Probably unrealistic but whatever

I guess I would also like a 405 close stance high bar squat and ugggh 500lb deadlift.

Ill do the cardio tonight, I took some ibuprofen and yeah I didn't notice the PM after it so i was out for awhile lol.

Anyway, just talked to the people about the college program through the union and emailed the college I will try to get into to make sure they take their credits and if all is good then byaah ill be in business.  If not then ill just take the courses id need and pay out of pocket.

Did that except did 4 mins straight of jumping jax instead of single understand cuz i forgot my jump rope.  I also walked Id say for 30 minutes at least after the run, maybe 40 to 50 minutes.  Then I did the Wallball n sit ups, stretched now I'm going to stretch my upper body and head out.

Also my time for the first wod was 50:41
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Bench
Incline db press
150 Wallball for time
21-15-9
Push ups on dumbbells (keep a straighter wrist)
DB front squat
Tricep work

I am drinking my coffee now and just trying to wake up more

I am going to warm up and see if I can run today or not, my whole body is shot to shit.

If I can run then I will do the stretch and 25 minutes, if not then I will ride the bike.

I will also walk at the end then when i inevitably get kicked off the track cuz of the kids then I will finish off on the bike.

Swapped db front squats with sit ups

Did it all and after my final around just now I started to feel sick so I may cut it off there and skip triceps.  I'm going to sit and gather myself and if it goes away soon I'll just go out and walk.

Overall it felt harder than it should have, my legs are just so sore that for the first 8 minutes of the run i could just feel how tight my hamstrings were.  Also on the wallballs I maybe hit parallel but that was as far down as my legs would allow me to go.


Also, I heard that I did well in my interview for the apprenticeship but I still didn't get it.  Basically it's politics there, they hire family members all of the time and they play the diversity card so if there are women who are going to be retiring then they will just hire women...even though the 1 girl caused quite a few blocks costing them money....and I never did...and I know more equipment....and I have co workers who emailed the plant manager, my line managers told him to hire me....but diversity.

Also

During my physical

My hr bpm was 75
My blood pressure was 132/75

My typical hr is 60s and for some reason i tense up when I get my blood pressure taken, something about the thing squeezing your arm.  I don't like the feeling of someone grabbing me and it basically puts me into fight mode.

Even though that went on its high normal.

When I last did my physical I was down 50lbs

I didn't get my piss test results back but im sure my sugar levels are normal or else he would have called.

Tonight
stepper
stretch

tomorrow

the normal run stretch etc etc

RDL
Lat pulldowns
db work
arms
stretch
walk or bike


oh yeah also with the drop in volume of running and what not I am cruising around 247 but hopefully that's just me just getting used to the change.

I am definitely not going to do direct leg work until next Friday.

I will still run but ugh itll be a nightmare

Well I lied, I will hit hammys tomorrow but tomorrow will mostly be shoulders.

Anyway today is just something like
rdl, lat pulldown, db row, 1 db tricep 1 cable tricep and db curls

Just been relaxing

The wrist pain is better but now its just focused on my wrist bone

I also bought a LAX ball to help stretch out my feet.  There are certain areas on my feet where it is sore and when i hit it, the pain is damn near unbearable.

Tomorrow idk depends on the weather but the gym is going to be open again starting next month on sundays so I will use sundays to go walking.

Lets see, i decided to take apple cider vinegar and its gross but i guess helps out with everything.

Actually I might do a 7 minute burpee test tomorrow

but yeah this week

Monday
Jog stretch etc for every day.
I will see how my wrist feels, if it is at least good enough to clean then I will have an OLY day
-Hang power clean sets of 2
-power clean TNG with deadlift
-Hang snatch
-power snatch
-RDL
WOD

maybe have monday be a ME day and thursday be a dynamic day, work speed reps  until speed decreases
wod
walk

Friday
Jog
Lower body
-OH Squat
-FSquat
-BSquat
Leg press
Hammy curls
wod
walk

That should be good.

Each wod idk I will basically do the opposite each day so 1 day might be 2 wods but they will be shorter wods and the next will be a longer chipper type or something.  So maybe 2x7 minute wods then the next day a wod lasting 20 minutes.

Started taking 20ml of apple cider vinegar, supposedly it helps with a lot of shit so ill see if it does anything.

Aches and pains are in my wrists and feet, pretty typical these days

Just going to keep relaxing and icing n shit my wrists and all that.  I have a cold pack thing that's meant to go around your wrist coming on Tuesday.

Alright haha, I like to go to the extreme when I self diagnose myself online.  I kept seeing that it could mean id have bradycardia,  I do get lightheadedness but its only on cleans and I think that is because sometimes I am bent over getting set up for too long.

For awhile I had phantom smells and I was convinced i had a tumor, but it was just a sinus issue.  I would randomly smell smoke and one time I was heading home and smelled it and hauled ass down my driveway because i thought my house was on fire.

Warm up to 225

Db front squat up to 100lbs for 10

Hammy curls for 3 sets of single leg

Walk

I am up to 250 but I think that's my body evening out and adjusting to running going from 40 minutes to 25 and lifting so my appetite is up.

I watched a video of a gymnast teaching a strict free handstand push up and it looks like a future goal of mine.

So I got a call from a manager at work..idk what one because where I work simply has too many managers and it seems like they just throw random letters in front of manager in their title.

Anyway, they called because I wanted to know why I didn't get the apprenticeship.  He told me that looking at reviews from managers he said there is no doubt that I am the hardest worker there but 1 manager put down that I didn't fix any issues and let PI's go into red zones all of the time.  umm absolutely false, I can fix issues with the machines in my area better than most apprentices and full timers.  He said I had an issue with their whole business model or whatever, its all stupid shit.  So I told him, well i thought I was the only one in my group that had a 5s area, i did my shift notes, i tracked my PI's, I helped everyone out, I was the only one to max out my hours. He basically went into a stutter and it went into awkward silence.

I know the manager that probably wrote that about me and hes new, a douche bag, an idiot and favored the kid that got hired over me who basically had a bed in the breakroom.  So to sum it up, I will leave as soon as I can and I have a few options at my disposal.

Job 1: I would live out of a suitcase, never be home, wont get to workout really, maybe a few days a week if i can get near a gym at a job site.  But, I will make an assload and within 5 years I could start a business without taking out a loan since I wont have to pay for housing, gas, etc etc

Job 2: I am looking into the International operator engineer union where I will be an apprentice and learn how to run heavy equipment such as excavators, dozers, cranes, aspestos removal etc etc where I will travel for work but probably wont be as bad as job 1 and still make really good money

Job 3: I will basically have a normal shift and work hours, no travel, decent pay but if they crack down on ethanol  id be fucked.

job 4: federal job, be able to go to school to become a PTA and I could be a PTA and do this job in any state that my license would allow.

Not gonna lie, i like job 4 the most since if I could, Id definitely move to like tenesee or something.

Anyway, just needed to vent and type this out, moral of the story is, you can bust your ass and be the hardest worker in a business but a group of people who never set foot out onto the production floor decides your fate.

Also, next week I might suck it up and go for a half marathon on a treadmill or just set my time to 2.5 hours on the track and just wear my watch even though its not totally accurate and stop when it hits 13.1 miles or 2.5 hours.

#1 is probably a bad idea.. no loan is cool, but, probably more worth it to have a more normal work/life environment. you won't have as much time to plot I imagine, you'll just be in a non-stop grind from the sound of it. also: no gym/working out? come on bruh, not a viable option for you IMHO.

the rest of the options all sound decent. #2 sounds kind of cool tbh, for someone who is into that. dno.

that's why I like that you've got this idea of starting a gym/business in your head. eventually if you become your own boss, you will probably be extremely happy. most of these job posts/rants you do always involve these external factors potentially keeping you down.

Yeah true, it's looking like I might work at the post office and go back to college to be a PTA.  That way I can open a gym and see if i can find a PT that wants to set up shop at the gym.

Today was a disaster, season 2 of making a murderer came out and I'm working an overnight so it was game over.

If i get into the post office job, there is a town where there isn't a gym and they have to drive either 15 mins to my town or 15 mins the other way to get to a gym.  Even if i have to start out small I could try to start one up there.

Halloween movie review

It was pretty awesome, felt like a mix of the original and Rob zombies version.  Well it was way more like the original feel with a hint of Rob zombie.

Anyway, the movie kicked ass but the people in the theater are fuck faces.  Right from the start these troll ladies just kept yapping the fuck away. Not too far into the movie when the guy shows Michael his mask and says "I brought something for you michael."  She yelled out what a teddy bear.   I turned around and said, can you seriously shut up.  I got called an asshole but up until the end they for the most part remained quiet.  As I was leaving I got called a Jerk but they looked like textbook definition of white trash so there was no point in responding.

nice dude, get it done. you switch alot though, just be careful with that. it's def harder to progress when you switch fields so much.. i mean, i know alot about that: switched from self taught coder/computer security -> computer science -> exercise science -> s&c coach -> warehouse job -> computer security -> programmer.

regardless, seems like you've been building a "large" resume, lots of experience.

it's hard but try not to self destruct on your way out of your current job, even though you may want to just stick the middle fingers up (metaphorically).

i'm actually really bad with that.. I left a few jobs that "did me wrong" on a bad note. I don't ask for references tho, nor do I try to use them. It's weird. As far as programming goes, having so much code on github & such can help with that -> lots of "self referential" material that people can look at, and know i'm for real. It's a good thing about my current profession I guess. I got lucky with my current position that's for sure. Easily the best boss i've worked for.

it's why i don't go to the movies.. things like that just drive me nuts. it distracts me so easily and I can't get it out of my head.

also fwiw, let's just keep it real - you did respond like an asshole :ninja: but those people were also being assholes.

i've snapped a few times at people in the theater - responding like you. i get annoyed with myself for doing it. a few times i've handled it better like "hey, it's hard to watch the movie when you keep talking" etc. i mean, probably better to not be so aggressive (ie shutup). anyway, i'd rather just remove myself from that situation personally. I know for a fact, if I go to the movies, i'll become annoyed as fu*k by someone lol.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 21, 2018, 08:10:26 pm
Yeah i felt like I was justified in doing so because you pay to go see a movie and not be distracted by someone talking.  I mean they have commercials before the movie telling you to be quiet and to turn your phones off or whatever.  Considering they were late 40s or 50s you'd think they'd be grown up enough to know they aren't filming mystery science theater.

Also, yeah I've worked a ton of jobs and ive dabbled in everything except for computer stuff haha. But I volunteered with a physical therapist and I liked it, i watch the Barwis miracle Monday videos of his people helping others walk again and all that and I would have done that sooner but I absolutely hate math with a passion.  I seriously don't give a fuck about solving for x.  Anyway, I'm going to suck it up.

Also. I am watching some jujimufu videos of him going to a big gym equipment warehouse and a lot of the used stuff is about the same price around 450 dollars.  That is a big incentive to start one and if I get in and it makes sense, I could go that route. 

Anyway tomorrow I am going ham because I have a massage at 1230

My back felt super tight from cable crunches and right now it legit feels like I fucked my back up.  I'm at the gym but idt I can do anything, mostly my mid back and lower it's tightening right up where it's hard to breathe.

Before i went to the gym it just felt uncomfortable but as i was driving i could feel it tightening up

So this week i will just rest it today and possibly tomorrow and just walk after that and stretch n shit and see if it helps.

Yeah for my feet i use my lax ball and ive been using my foam roller 3x a day.  Trying to just stick it out pain wise and not take any pain killers.  I am feeling decent and this week will just be running and bw stuff.  Idk why my back went to shit doing cable crunches but I think I might just stick to stuff like planks for abs.

I will also be picking up supplies to build a deadlift platform and advertise it on shit like craigslist.  Looking at the materials, I can build one for about 150 dollars for more higher quality plywood(then add on the price of screws, washer, glue, i guess wood stain stuff).  If i were to make one for myself, id buy the plywood that is 10 dollars cheaper per sheet.

Rogues platform is over 350 dollars and it has a rubber middle, idk why you would want to deadlift on that.

So if i could make one for 160 dollars and sell it for 250 I think and if it sells quickly and get interest built then I think I would just keep on building them.  Also, if they want band attachments I could do that for more and that is pretty easy to do too, the pegs are 60 dollars but you can just put caribeaners on and those are only what 5 dollars a piece.  Granted, pegs are more convenient but youd save 40 dollars.

Oh yeah, the rogue platforms are frame alone, the rubber tiles are 400 dollars lmfao.  A 4x6 horse stall mat is 40 dollars, I guess the crossfit games has made it so rogue thinks they can rip people off.


Anyway, that is the plan, I will shop around and maybe start building one next week.

Interview next week for the post office, I guess there's a lot of hours available at that office.

Today was back and shoulders kind of.

Couldn't get any pump

I played with overhead pressing with my new bands.  Went over well, same with bent over row.

I tried banded snatches and it worked but id need an elevated platform so they don't fall off the pegs.

So yeah if i get this job then ill invest in my own bumpers n shit and leave them in the closet at the gym.

Or find a new gym.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 26, 2018, 10:45:22 am
30 min jog

Banded squats (approx. 40 lbs tension)
Did small jumps up to 275 doing doubles and singles

Took bands off and did 285 and 300.

300 was a little easier than 275 with bands

Banded hack squat: tension approx 100lbs for hacks and leg press, also each set is an extra 75lbs for the sled.

So set 1: 45lber each side + bands + sled
Set 2: 1x45lber + dime.........
Set 3 to 5 increase of 10lbs per side

Leg press
Set 1: 2x45lber.......
Then each set was plus 1 plate per side up to 5 plates per side being approx 625lbs

Each was sets of 5 to 10 reps

Going to walk and loosen up and figure out more to do.  I have to work midnights so I am trying to make myself tired.

Hammy curls for 3x10 single leg

7 minute wod
Multiples of 3 with snatch and push ups

Finished round 15.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 29, 2018, 03:22:57 pm
Today

30 minute jog

Banded bench

did doubles and triples and what not to 200lbs plus bands, possibly 80lbs total at the top
Drop down to 135plus bands and slowly worked up onto a 3 board CG

Hex DB press: 45-55-65 x 10

DB Flyes: 45sx3x10

DB extensions: 40s or something for sets of 10

then cable work for triceps and chest

Tomorrow will be some wods and running

or back work idk depending on how I feel.

So yeah i have some interviews and shit this week and 1 job i might go for I will have to cut back on the days i work out since its 3 on 4 off 4 on 3 off 12hr shifts and probably pretty miserable.  I will although, rent a storage unit and slowly build up gym equipment.  If I get the post office then yeah I will be able to continue to workout normally and build up equipment.

Some equipment I am looking at

mostly strongman equipment such as logs, plate loaded husafell stones, racks, plates, farmers carrys, sand bags, stones, etc shit like that.  I would get most of my stuff from New York Barbells since their stuff is pretty good and on the cheaper side.  Also, I can save a lot on shipping since the place is maybe 1.5 hours or so from me so Id just rent a moving van or something.  Also, I would go to other places to get odds and end things like Rogue, theres a company on my fb that id get a belt squat from, idk random shit.  If I can snag one of these jobs and within a few months pay off my student loans then I would possibly invest maybe 10 grand or so in equipment and see how far I can go with that.

I'm just gonna spend a shit ton of time at the gym
Run, upperbody, metcons etc

Bought a new sandbag, basically the same as rogues but 20 bucks less and holds 200lbs.  Might do it for conditioning for 2nd workouts each day consisting of holds, clean to shoulders, squats etc.

yup that was great. beast.

seeing stuff like that is rough. absolutely gut wrenching that people have to go through stuff like that. that Schott 5k run is like that, tons of people with disabilities participating or being pushed in wheelchairs etc.. always rough & gives you a smack in the face.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 31, 2018, 07:22:45 pm
Yeah, it is good to see people with disabilities like that doing stuff outside of the norm that a PT or regular doctor would suggest.  I doubt a doctor would ever recommend strongman training for someone with CP but its definitely interesting to see the results.

I guess hes a few months in and hes gone from not being able to do anything without a spotter to catch him to being able to do lifts on his own up to a certain point.  I want to see his progress a few years into strongman training.  I cant remember if it was that video or another 1 I watched where a guy competed in strongman and basically had a dead arm but was loading stones with 1 arm and it was nuts.

So update on a job, I may go back to working security at my previous job but they are getting rid of the security company and just hiring guards on as employees so thatll mean a bump in pay and benefits.  I talked to my old supervisor and he wants me on, my schedule would be 4am to Noon which i am fine with, itd allow me to train, stay at my current job and go back to college.  Even if I did the second shift which is 10ish to end, I could still do it all.  I just have to wait, I forgot which date it is for the contract to run out, I believe its in November so its coming up soon.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 31, 2018, 09:00:51 pm
So projects I have coming up.

Axle bars.
I want to eventually build like 1.5", 2", maybe bigger.  For now I can get a pipe for 30 dollars, roll some tape where the collars will go as extra security then just put these collars on that you tighten using Allen bolts.  Easy enough, I wouldnt try to weld the collars until I really wanted to do cleans.  For deadlift only purpose it's not bad.  Total cost would be about 50 bucks for the 2" one.

I will eventually get to the deadlift platforms.  I'd like to build 2 at first, 1 that is all 1 piece and another that comes in 3 sections so you can easily store and transport it.  Put those 2 out there and see how well they sell.

You can get farmers carries cheap so no point.

Log would be difficult so I wouldn't try that for awhile.

A beam bar would be nice, id have to figure out how I'd do it though.  Idk I have a lot of ideas and I can't wait for my sandbag.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 31, 2018, 09:32:37 pm
I figured I'm going to get a 2 inch pipe and then just get a square tube that fits snug over the 2 inch pipe.  As long as it's height is 4" the width is going to be whatever fits the best. So the beam goes over the pipe, put collars on it, bam.  170 dollar bar for maybe 60 bucks.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 01, 2018, 02:23:26 pm
Watching the meg, i think i reviewed it already but I like it.

Anyway

DB seated OHPress: 50/60/70x10
BB oh press up to 165, had to clean it since the dumb fuck douche bag was hogging the squat rack.  As soon as I walked in he ran over and starred doing shrugs with just the bar then he tried to do a giant set with shrugs, machine and something else.  Of course like every fucking idiot noob they think they need 5 mins of rest between sets.  So since the manager was in the weight room i didnt lash out.  Typically in a gym if both racks are being used, you finish your shit on the rack and move on, you don't fucking do super set bullshit.

I'm just annoyed, i did other db work after also I ran, nothing special.   My sandbag is coming today so I will get sand tomorrow or the next day depending on if im working a midnight shift.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 02, 2018, 03:53:02 pm
Leg day, had a lot to do so ran through it

squats up to 275 for doubles and what not
then box squats at 275/300/315 for doubles

drop to 225 for multiple reps

then hack squat and leg press

leg curls for 3 sets

also ran 20 minutes(had to take a dump)

Annoying guy was there and kept getting in my fucking way

Just filled up my sandbag, approximately 195lbs

I did 1 sandbag clean and i underestimated it lol  feels good though, goin to be the 150lber and 100lb bags in the future.  Or I will get the 200lb bags and just put objects in them to displace the sand so I can only fit 150lbs in it and so on.


Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Home workout

30 min AMRAP

10kb swings
50 JJ

10 burpees on the sandbag
10 push ups
5 rounds
Then I took out the sandbag cleans and did planks for 20 seconds.

First time doing those sandbag cleans and I don't want to push it.  Doing just 1 destroys you for a good minute afterwards.

Felt good, got a sweat going and hr up.

yo! any recommendations on a 45 deg hyper?

i'm thinking of buying a cheap one first. I bought one from "newyorkbarbells" way back, but i didn't like it - was surprisingly flimsy. They usually make good stuff.

small one from sears, but looks sturdy: $72
- https://www.sears.com/winado-wina3234-roman-chair-45-degree-hyperextension-ab

here's ones from rogue ($500) & elitefts ($730), obviously crazy priced but top notch equipment:
- https://www.roguefitness.com/pro-oblique-flexor
- https://www.elitefts.com/elitefts-professional-45-degree-back-raise.html

i can't believe rogue calls their an "oblique flexor machine" wtf? that's odd.

I have my floor ghr (PMGHR) but I can't use it, tears up my hamstring tendons. Probably responsible for some damage in there. Back extension always seemed to hit my hamstrings/glutes/erectors good without causing problems, so I want to get a 45 deg hyper soon.

any thoughts?

hah pc!!

Out of those id go with the Sears one and see how you like it.  If it's good then you saved a ton of money, if not put it on Craigslist. 

I would say the rogue would be fine just read reviews on how comfortable it is.  I'd rank it as rogue is garage gym and elitefts is commercial gym quality.  I'd definitely go for the elitefts if you were about 200lbs heavier but if cost isn't an issue id go with elitefts.

pretty much my thoughts exactly hah.

ya, going to order it now. looks decent. we'll see.

rogue makes great stuff so, i'd imagine there's is top notch.

only thing i don't like about the sears one is, no *real* foot pad. it'll get the job started tho.

Nice yeah I like the rogue 1 because it's adjustable but the Sears one you could probably test it out and return it if it's bad. 

I'm not sure of any other brands but I mean I've used old school ones and they worked fine so as long as it's comfortable and stable you should be good

Deadlift up to 350.  Maybe 90% but I use a lot of leg drive so my hammy was tightening up.

T bar row for multiple sets, lat pulldowns and biceps.

My buddy is bad that I was doing crossfit with so we are going to workout again together.  It will be more bb but more metcon oriented like main lift then accessory work but have it be giant sets, 3 rounds for time or something and end it with an easy cooldown pool room workout.

10-10-10
Wallball-planks (seconds count)- jumping Jack's

Wallballs I added 20 reps to each set

Oh press strict up to 170

Arnold press for 3x15

Farmers carries and db oh walk

1 hour walk.

that's a burly workout

Yeah it was pretty miserable but felt good.  I overestimated the wallballs though.  There's only 2 wallballs and I used the lighter one so I figured I'd add 20 reps since my partner wanted to do the 20lber.

Today was shopping n relaxing n watching my nephew.  Probably do something this weekend, maybe Sunday do a long walk.

30 min jog
15 minute walk
30 minute Tabata 1 min on 5 sec off random exercises

Gonna walk for 45 n head out.

I walked for 15 earlier because a couple of idk chick's in their 50s went on the track and was walking like they were 90 so I got irritated n hit up the tabata.


Diets been whatever lately, I haven't been eating terrible but still putting on weight.  Idk how, i defy science. 

So what I've been doing is a fasting from around 8pm to noon just a lot of protein for the most part.  I could just be backed up and a lot of water weight.  Beats me ill just keep at it.

Today was small portion of sausage, 3 eggs, coffee, 1 slice of bread with a small amount of butter for my bfast/lunch.  Will eat at 5 then 730ish.  Probably a meat with veggies and 1 will be a protein shake n fruit or something.

30 min walk

Deadlift up to 405 mixed grip
Up to 365 (had 375) double overhand

Then machine work and biceps

It was crowded and we had a 2 hours squatter and his gf trying to take everything up (both squat racks and bench)  so I went over and just threw the weight off 1 of the bars on the squat rack and went at it.  I absolutely hate this time of the year.

Yeah its pretty bad right now, I will either have to go in earlier or later to avoid the noobs

Just getting back at it, it was closed on xmas and Monday it was only open til noon and I woke up at 11.

Today

15 run (back started burning up)
15 walk
15 run (felt fine)
15 walk

Just did the tabata that I've been doing lately but for 23ish minutes.

I have to lower the working time and increase the rounds.  Trying to do push-ups for a minute straight isn't realistic for multiple sets.

I think 30 seconds will be more reasonable and make it so I won't be taking breaks.

Going to head back into the gym n idk either walk or leave depending on how crowded it is.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 27, 2018, 10:19:10 am
My buddy showed up as I was leaving so I'm not sure what he did yesterday so today id like to hit cardio and uppperbody. Probably just do wods to hit everything and lower body tomorrow.

I will look up wods now to figure out what I want to do.

Wod 1

100 thrusters but top of every minute you do 5 burpees.  Go until 100 thrusters are completed

Wod 2
1km row
50 wallball
30 push ups

Wod 3
Blah beats me ill figure something out. I'd like to save back for tomorrow so idk.  I'll talk to my buddy and figure it out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 27, 2018, 12:08:16 pm
Run
3.1 miles in 30 minutes
Realistically only 3 miles.  I stopped a few times to get water or let my leg rest.  My lower back n right leg started burning around 15 mins.  Cardio wise I was pretty good.

Deadlift no chalk up to 315x2 double overhand.  Just wanted to get over 300, wasn't feeling good enough to go heavier.

Db DT
50s
12-9-6
Deadlift-hang power clean- oh press
5 rounds

Then the burpees thruster workout

I got to 50 reps and I was dead.  It was to the point where I had 10 seconds to do thrusters so yeah no bueno

I also did drop sets with lat pulldown and row

Also walked after my run.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 29, 2018, 03:30:14 am
Carbo loaded as fuck

Working overnights so I ate big in the AM, slept then ate big before work

But workout was

30 min walk

Hang cleans up to 185x2

Front squat: 135 up to 225 doing triples and shit.  Used small plates like 5s until we ran out then used 10s.  Once we hit as heavy as we wanted we went into a drop set back down.  If i had to guess it was 8 sets up including 135 then back down

Then we did idk other shit.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 31, 2018, 10:06:22 am

Also today kind of a buzz kill my buddy strained his back during deadlifts and was pissed.  He did everything you're not supposed to and i even told him so and he ignored my advice and kept doing it.  I even told him if it's not too bad to just swim for awhile but noooooo.

So ill be working out by myself again for awhile.

Tomorrow

Run/walk
Mile-5 min walk-mile-5 min walk
Just do that for 4 miles so 1hr total.

Then upper body mostly chest and arms with a little bit of shoulders.

I want to do man makers, pretty much a db hex row in a plank position then imagine a burpees with the dumbbell without the push up

It is what it is, at least I can do what I want instead of wods full of burpee box jumps n stupid shit like that in a crowded gym.

Also, back, trapz, tris are wrekt from doing the 55 cleans, 55 oh press at 135.

Today was a bust

Run 1 mile, rest 5 mins, run 1 mile, rest, run .25, walk 15 mins

So I gotta yet again ease into running at higher speeds because my right hammy cramped up on me so I had to stop.  I did 6.2mph then 6.6 then 7 and that's when I cramped

So that sucked balls

Wod

5 burpees

5 burpees
25 push ups

5 burpees
25 push ups
50 wallballs

5 burpees
25 push ups
50 wallballs
100 jumping jax

5 burpees
25 push ups
50 wallballs
100 jj
150 air skwaats

So that was the plan but my triceps locked up on me on the 1st set of push ups so I said well fuck fuck

So AMRAP Jump rope 10 mins
1050 count.

Everything just sucks and today is gonna be a dud, gonna go home and work on refinishing my dressers and tables n what not.  Tomorrow will hopefully be a good day.

I'm thinking about getting to bed a lot earlier and try to wake up early to go swimming say 6am then come back at 10 or 11 to workout.

Lol he wasn't that bad but I've seen worse than him and people were fine so beats me.  Idt it's as bad as he says it is, when I screwed my back up in high school it basically put me on the floor and I could only walk with my upper body parallel to the floor.

I have to work the overnight tonight so the workout today was just an easy one.

32 min bike: 10 miles
30 min walk

My back and hammy n what not was still sore so figured I'd cut it off there.  I'm going to hit up a workout tomorrow morning after work.

Well felt like shit on saturday so nothing

Was going to go this morning but I had the worst night of sleep.  First I was uncomfortable then I woke up freaking out because I smelled smoke.  Once I realized the house wasn't on fire it was my sinuses. When my sinuses are real bad I get phantom smells of smoke.

Anyway just woke up and it's too late.

I got my chilis out of the way yesterday, spent the last of my gift cards that I got for xmas so now it's back to eating a bit better.

Bfast

3 scrambled eggs
Coffee
2 turkey sausage idk sticks lol
2 packets of oatmeal

Ive been going to bed around 1 lately considering the midnight shifts and shit but I am going to force myself to go to bed and round 10pm.  If i cant then Ill just buy some sleeping pills to help me get started.  This way I can wake up early to swim, this time of the year the schools gym class goes swimming and I'd like to avoid that.

Today I have new bands that came in so I might do a hour of cardio and hit legs.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

30 min bike ride
15 minute walk

Squat up to 225+green bandx2
Lower back felt it

Hammy curls

So yeah back started feeling it around 185 so didn't go too hard

The bike is just a totally different stimulus, it gets my HR jacked up and smashes my quads.  I am around 10 mins in 1/2 hours so I'd like to improve and see if i can work up to maybe 12 miles.  The thing with those bikes is if i hit 25mph then it won't register the distance.

Anyway, the green band is like 65 to 175 if you're using it for pull ups so squatting Idk id say 75lbs each at the top.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

10-20-30
Burpees-sq-SU
20-30-40
.......
30-40-50
.......

10 mile bike

100 Wallball for time
But plot twist, 1/2 mile run before and after.
This was the 2nd workout and it was miserable.  If i used the 10lber I would have done 150 but my shoulders and tris crapped out fast.


7 rounds for time
7 burpees
7 squats
7 sit ups
7 jumping jax
Time: 10:30
Goal: 8:30

Feeling crappy today. Just cramping up and shit fast.

Not sure what's next

Tried to do grace but just didn't feel good so I worked up to 215 clean

So my issue is 205 went up super easy but 215 I felt as though I just lose all tightness, especially in my lats and it makes it feel a lot harder.  Based on 205 I felt like 225 was good but it probably was I just need a place with bumpers

30 min bike ride: 10.53 miles

Now walking until my buddy gets here.

So did a 15 min wod
1-10 then 1-6 of burpees squats JJ

Did a quick 10 min wod
Wanted 15 but it was too cold in my basement

Did 20 kb squats
20 db push ups
1 200lb sandbag clean

Basically warmed up with the movements and went. Everything felt heavy and it is cold as shit in here.


Right now my eating habits are weird, I give through cycles of eating everything to eating twice a day.  Today I realized I've only had my coffee, half a steak, 2 sausage patties and a lil but of bacon.  I gotta eat 1 more meal and try to get some calories in because tomorrow is gonna be a nightmare.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 23, 2019, 10:47:34 am
So I did all of that and the working time was about 56 minutes

I took a break after the barbell and dumbbell exercise in the beginning because I was trying to figure out what to do since the gym was empty.  So everything after that was done without breaks and just minor rest periods so about 48 minutes straight or so.

I am severely up in weight or the scale is completely off.  I doubt it has been calibrated in years.  No way could I have gained 8 pounds in a week of fasting for 16 hours and not eating bad.

I ended with a 20 min bike ride

I am whooped, i think i am getting too conditioned for these easier workouts.  I can still do the workouts but I will have to make them harder by swapping out exercises like taking out jumping jax n easy stuff like that. 

Tomorrow will be uggh

Warm up

Squats
Typical leg workout
Banded deadlift
Good mornings

Then some pool room workouts
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 24, 2019, 10:00:24 am
Cutting it short

Squat up to 305+ green band, maybe an extra 80lbs or something.

Speed deadlifts with 225 for 8x2

Hammy curls 3x10 single leg

Going to smash my bod tomorrow, I have a haircut and massage tomorrow.

The squat was surprising, i havent done squats above 200 in a few weeks so the biking has to be helping.  I wanted more than the 305+gband but my right quad was getting a lil rough.

So yeah Tomorrow is a lot of pool room wods and more bodybuilding focusing on my back n stuff.  My next massage after tomorrow will be the cupping so ill give some review of that.

If i had to make a reasonable guess I'd say anywhere from 30-45+ minutes.  The first round felt like it took forever and my second rounds were a lot faster.  I will do that same workout next week and I will time it.

Last set i changed it to push up, wallball, rear delta raises.

It was a good workout but next time I will do different exercises each set.


Now I'm not too sure what to do.  Might call it a day and tomorrow destroy everything except squats, my right quad isn't feeling right.

Also whenever I type i  squat the predict text pops up with squatdrs  email address lol

Nothing today, figured I'd get my taxes done I about 15 minutes and go but nope, my state kept getting rejected so I was working on that all morning. 

I'll be near my old gym tomorrow so after my test I might stop in there.

Also I have some new job stuff coming up so I will be possibly buying some stuff as far as a husaffel loadable "stone" and id like a skierg  and air bike from rogue

Nothing today, I took my dogs out to pee before in left to take my test and Chloe wasn't using 1 of her back legs so her hip was fucked.  So I picked up a new bed and headed home to hangout with her.

Been watching a lot of Magnus Mitdbo's videos mostly with him and jujimufu and rock climbing seems pretty dope (indoors)  if I ever get back. 200 and there's a indoor place near me I wouldnt mind trying it.

Anyway tomorrow is killer Mondays where I go overboard.

30 min bike sounds good
Jackie warm up

Then the 1-10/10-1 x 2 wod that I did last week.  This time I will time it.
I'll have to look back i think i did 200 JR before and after each set.

21-15-9
Broken down to 7-7-7/5-5-5/3-3-3
Deadlift/clean/oh press
Run .25 before each set and at the end

Then that might be it, weights will be heavyish relative to me.

Maybe do eh ok not so heavy to start i think i can do 315 for deadlifts but let's do 275 for a first time doing this wod.

Cleans will be 175 or soo

Oh press will be 155 sounds good.

Idk this will be a good starting point to see where I need to adjust.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 04, 2019, 12:17:29 pm
Wow alright

20 min bike ride

Jackie but with lat pulldowns
1km row/50 bb thrusters/30 pulldowns

That fucking pool room wod lol

Time: 1:04
Working time: 56 mins
 but 8 mins was me almost puking then the remaining 6 was making myself puke.  I could feel my coffee wanting to come up so I had to stop.

The last set of burpees I did 1 then sets of 2 with 5 breathes between until 9 then I did 3x3 then 2x5.


I am sweating so fucking much idt I can do that last wod lol I'm going to walk n rest n see how i feel

I did that 21-15-9 wod but I did it with dumbbells
Started with 80s for deadlifts and 40 for clean and presses.  Went up by 10lbs each set.

I like conspiracy theories and some of my posts makes it look like my grammar and what not is at a 4th grade level.  Around the time the s10 was leaked my s6 started slowing down a lot.  Even typing this out i cant type too fast cuz its slow as fuck.

Dietish lol

My calories from bfast
661
Protein:56.3
Fat:24.7
Carbs:49.6
4 eggs, 1/2 cup of yogurt, grapes, cottage cheese 1/2cup.
Meal 2
Chunky gumbo soup
Chicken breast
At 1071 I think calories.
Usually I eat one more time and I'm done so I might be way too low.

So my daily calories is like 17 o 1800 lol, about 1k lower than it should be.  I don't feel super hungry though.

Oh well, tomorrow is bodybuilding but with a metcon style.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 07, 2019, 02:40:54 pm

Thinking about another wod

Minimum work requirement to avoid seal walk is 100 jj, 75 air squats, 100 wallball

Every time I take a break I owe 1 trip of a seal crawl or walk whatever it's called.  Basically have my feet on a slippery thing and walk on my hands.

So I did stuff on Friday

I wrote down wods in a notebook that I want to specifically track and I will do them tomorrow then every 4 wks

Just watched the movie Free Solo and wow.  I knew he survived but I was still anxious and yelling at my tv when he was climbing. 

Basically it's at documentary of a free solo climber who was the first person to free solo El capitan.  It goes into his personality and how he basically compartmentalized everything and puts climbing first and how his gf has effected his rock climbing and just a bunch of shit. Just seeing how nervous the film crew was and them listing the free soloers that have died

I suck at reviewing movies but this one I think is worth a rent.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 18, 2019, 11:21:56 am
My version of Murph
1 mile run
100 pu
200 squats
300 JJ

New goal: 35 minutes

Now is Karen
Did 100 instead of 150
Shoulders just burned up way too fast
But that was 6:42 which is super slow, it should be like 4 minutes.

Maybe do 1 more and call it a day
1000jr
Every minute id do 2 burpees
10:58 finish

Not sure what's in store for tomorrow but today is my last day as a 20 something year old.
Maybe grace 30 reps for 30 years.

Watching hell fest

Basically a traveling horror park thing and someone is dressed up like 1 of the workers and is killing people.  It's a whodunnit like Scream.  It's not as good as usual ones because there's no mystery like is it 1 of the friends or anything like that.  It's not over but I'm sure it's not anyone they've mentioned prior

Well that movie was fucking stupid

DB warm ups
Squat: up to 300, still have quad aches
CF open 19.1
19 cal row
19 wallball
AMRAP 15 minutes
I think i did 4 rounds plus 14 calories.  Now idk exactly the calories cuz the rower is messed up and my buddy said he thinks for him 3 pulls is 1 calorie and that is what it goes up by.

I'm surprised this is a open workout cuz it was easy
Spoiler alert I read that a 20 cal row at 3 min km pace is a minute lol. I was rowing for like 2:10 so that' why it's so easy.


5 burpees
10 push ups

5 burpees
10 push ups
25 air squats

5 burpees
10 push ups
25 air squats
50 JJ

 :trollface:Looking at scores if i did about a min per row and kept the same pace which shouldn't be hard I would be in top 30 right now, until the good athletes post their scores.

I'll do it on Monday and do 1:05 rows

Goal is around 320 to 335.

Tomorrow is full body bb
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 24, 2019, 10:17:34 am
 19.1 retry
Again Idk the resistance I should be at for 19 cals a minute because I should be way more tired.
8 rounds + row + 8 wallballs
Total: 331
This wod is weird, I felt tired but fine after then I started my cleans and I progressively got more and more tired like cns wearing down.

So cleans were garbage, up to 195 felt easy but crappy.  Also got roids in here cheering himself on, I can't wait to workout outside
 Gonna walk n get out

So I'd be tied for 660th place lol
But still for something that has over 100,000 people participating in that's not too shabbby
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Ran 2.57 miles in 30 mins, my plan is to slowly get back into running.   Now when I run over a mile I get all kinds of aches, cardio is fine but my body sucks.
So it was 1 mile, walk .1, run 1 mile, walk .1 then run but I had aches in my hip, calf, and Achilles.  I need a set warm up cardio plan that I do every day.

I'll write that up later

I did a version of 19.2 which I made it too easy but I was still sweating.

In 8 mins
25 leg raise
100 jr
15 WB
25 leg raise
100 jr
13 WB
If finished before 8 mins, add 4 and before 12 mins do
25...
100...
11 WB
Then same deal add 4 mins and before 16 mins
25...
100..
9WB

Then 1 last round if you finish and it's 7 WB

In the original it's 25 toes to bar
50 double under
And cleans with increasing weight.


That's it, gotta work tonight so I'm going to cook n sleep.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 01, 2019, 09:25:31 pm
Cleaning this wknd so that means no gym time cuz of sweaty underwear.

But my warm up idea

1 mile run (2wks) then 1.5 miles for 2wks then idk i havent figured out how far I want to run each day
Then bike x 15 mins

Stretch routine, nothing major just hit everything a couple times maybe take 5 mins.

Oh squat, i feel like my posture n what not gets better.  I think that'll be good and only take maybe 40 minutes then hit wods n shit.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 04, 2019, 11:21:10 am
Did the warm up, felt good

200 JR
1-10 WB/burpees
200 JR
16:10
Start of the WB I knew something wasn't right and when I got to the burpees I felt like my cns was drained, no power in my arms and yawned a lot.  Fri night I got 1hr of sleep and Sat night I got 4.  This morning I had trouble staying awake.
16 mins is a garbage time and I should've been at 10. 

7 min
Multiples of 3
Thruster@75lbs
Fat man pullups
Round of 15
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 05, 2019, 01:48:25 pm

EMOM

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 11, 2019, 11:32:34 am
The past few wks have caught up to me.  My running cadence is significantly better with less aches.
Ran a mile, natural cadence about 1 minute faster than at the start.

1-10
Burpees
Lunges
10-1
WB
Sit ups

Going to walk a bit n see what my buddy had planned.  He's doing a navy seal book and granted they are fit but the programming in it is stupid.  I'll do it for extra work but it's basically work until failure or you cramp up.  Like that pu workout where I went from set 1 at 50 to set 2 at like 15.  That's not a lot of work n it made me cramp

21-15-9
40lb
DB double snatch
DB squats

250 yard swim
Dead lol. Gonna try to swim mon/wed/fri

I also did like 20 pull ups
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

EMOM
10 reps first 5 minutes then +2 every minute after.
PU/squat/JJ
Made it to round 22 but +19 for JJ
Total: 453 I guess.

Not sure what else my body is beat up from swimming.

I'd like to rest n hit oly n logs tomorrow.

Gonna walk until the pool is open.

Used flippers and did more lapsin less time.

15 min bike ride: 4.8 miles
stretch

1-10x2 Burpee/Lunges
10-1x2 WB/crunches
200 JR before and after each set
Goal: 45 minutes
46:26
Main issue: no water
Aproximately 10 mins faster than the 1st time.

Swim x 15-20 minutes
if i am taking breaks then I will go for longer but the plan is to just do a freestyle for 25 yards then go into a back stroke for 25 and just keep switching back and forth, I can pretty much fully recover on my back strokes so if i can do 15 to 20 minutes without stopping then it will be a good workout.

Not sure if I'll do the 21-15-9.  I'm pretty fucking beat.

Swam for about 25 to 30 minutes
Felt really good, form is getting better and got at least 500 yards, maybe 800

Post by: John Stamos on March 21, 2019, 11:16:10 am
Run 1.5: 13:28
I feel good but my pacing was horrible.  If I waited .2 for each increase I would have been at maybe 13 flat.
Oh well, still getting better.
The PD that I was training for last summer didn't fill their positions so I'm going to try again. Last time I had the fucked up wrists and couldn't do it.

Test is in September so fitness tests shouldn't be for a maybe mid winter next year.

Goalz: 9 to 10 min 1.5 mile
200lbs
150 push ups in a row
Idk sit ups just a lot in a minute.  Since I am older now my test will be easier lol at 29 it was 38 sit ups in a minute now it's like 34 or 32, was 12:28 mile now it's like 12:58.

Anyway enough talking gotta listen to rocky soundtracks n get moving

So cooper standard for me is 35 sit ups, 24 push ups, 12:53 1.5 mile.  I need to destroy it though

50-40-30-20-10
Wallball/squat/push up/sit up (crunches)

Swim

13:30 1.5 mile
I had more in the tank I just paced myself wrong.  6.3 mph for .8, .8 to 1 mile was 6.5ish, 1 to 1.25 @6.9, 1.25 to 1.4@7.3ish then finish at 8.1 mph
Tomorrow will be a slow 1.5 jog
Wednesday I will do 0 to .5@6.3, .5 to .75@6.8mph, .75 to 1@7.1, 1 to .25 @7.6 finish out at 8.  That might knock off 30 seconds

Just did burpees
Now the drop set: 32ish minutes but my push up game is weak as fuck right now.  for some reason my push ups are absolute garbage.

Swim: 30 minutes, minimal breaks, averaged about 1:05 per 50 yards.  my 25 yards was about 28 seconds in a freestyle and 35 second back stroke without my arms.  This time i went about 100 yards then did a back stroke for 25 then 100 then back stroke for 25 and so yeah beats me how much i did lol, maybe 12-1400 yards total.

Idk wtf is wrong,  still not losing weight, it seems like I have think go to the extremes to lose weight and it's fucking irritating.  My diet isn't bad and I'm at the gym damn near 2hrs each day.  I'm going to get blood work done for my hormones.

I might have flipped out earlier lol idk my weight is roughly the same but i am fitting in my clothes better and my cardio is definitely higher.  It still will be a good idea to get blood work done just in case i have an issue with my thyroid or some shit.

Soo tracking my calories now

I am going for 2300
I have 1 more 700 cal meal and 1 50g brotein shake to go.  Going to track for awhile and see if that's the issue.

Macros
Protein: 136.3
Fat: 55.4
Carbs: 67.3
By the end of the day I should have just over 200gs protein which is good.  I should have more fat but whatever.  I probably do with the skirt steak but you can't accurately account for each piece.

Ran and did bodybuilding, nothing special.

The plan is to get this fucking job, do my current job on the weekends, pay off my student loans in 1 shot and then buy a exergenie I think it'd called, prowler n log
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 05, 2019, 03:41:30 pm
Nailed the interview, felt like garbage though so no workout.   I'm on midnights anyway so oh well.  Depending on the weather ill go for a walk.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 07, 2019, 06:06:15 pm
9/11 TRIBUTE
For Time
3 rounds
.5 run
11 Box Jumps (30/24 in)
11 Thrusters (125/85 lb)
11 pull ups
11 Power Cleans (175/115 lb)
11 oh press
11 Kettlebell Swings (2/1.5 pood)
11 sit ups
11 Deadlifts 225
11 snatch
5 min row

So first run will be 2.5 miles n get right into it.  After that will be a tabata and swim.

I was thinking about risking it and doing squats.  I've neglected them for a month and it's showing.

Noticed that my strength work I do too many warm up sets and not enough working sets.  So for instance on Wednesday (axel) my sets will be
205/235/255x3x3
275/300/315x10x3

Log work this week will be maybe up to 225 for 5x1 but I will do a 10 to 20 second hold at the top of each clean.  When I have 225 on a barbell in the front rack it's easy but on a log it's awkward and your legs might wobble and core might collapse in or you go side to side cuz of instability.  Doing the holds should help and when I start pressing ill be that much better. I want to wait to press because I have no way to really warm up for it since the log empty is 190.  So once I buy my own log, maybe one that's 100lbs I should be good.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 08, 2019, 12:07:40 pm
Did 2 rounds kind of.

Run
Round 1
115-thrusters
95-snatch
135 oh press
135 row
165 clean
225 deadlift
70 db swing
2nd round
Same except
135 clean
275 deadlift
Did deadlifts unbroken, usually 275 feels super heavy but my grip feels strong from axel deads and wrecked it.
I legitimately feel sick, it's too cold in the weight room and I was sweating too much.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 08, 2019, 03:04:55 pm
Swimming 16 minutes freestyle, previous pr was 6 minutes last Wednesday without having to resort to the back stroke.  20 mins total.

Adarq, I'm not tech savvy but on this site it says it's not safe and has a red triangle with an ! In it.  The sites that say that is super slow to type on so idk if i can fix it.

Tomorrow is bw stuff maybe all tabata.

I'm just super excited for wednesday, ive caught the strongman bug.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 09, 2019, 11:04:09 am
22ish minute Run

Tabata 1
20 on 10 off for 10:10
Half was squat-burpee-sit up but abs cramped
Swapped sit ups with jj

Going to rest a bit and hit up another one
Jump rope-wallball-push up. Maybe same as the first.
That was harder

On the first one my burpees are on point, ik I've lost weight I can see it in the mirror so that's probably why.

It's still early so I want to rest a bit and figure out 1 more wod to do.

Scratch that last one lol. Going to weigh myself, eat then do a 2 mile walk or walk before idk

Soo weight -5lbs, maybe more idk, i was sweating a lot but I drank a lot of water
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 10, 2019, 01:15:03 pm
 Felt shitty
2 mile run
Log clean with 5 second pause EMOM
200 for 4 mins then 190 for the rest
Axel deads to 265 double overhand, new pr
Bw holds super set with db holds at 125
Also did cleans before logs
Swam 15 mins.

Felt issues in back and hamstring
Also oh axel bar press up to 185x3 then x2.  Felt easy but the Axel bar kills your wrist.

I am going to break my fast on Wednesdays, i believe before my workout I need to take in say oatmeal and a protein shake, try 50 grams carbs and 20 protein.  Performing the log n axel on a fast is looking like a bad idea with how tired I get.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 11, 2019, 12:51:55 pm
Ran 2 miles or so
Squats with green bands
Singles up to 290+ bands.  They might put on like 60lbs or 80.
DE deadlifts: 8x2@225
Cable row 3x10
Lat pulldown 6x10
Idk maybe something else, getting a massage in 5 minutes.
Also hammy curls
Also, got a email from work and they want me trained on the only line I'm not trained on.  So that means that ill know everything on the back side of the bottle side and no1 will know more than me that will be up for an apprenticeship.

Anyway I'll be day shift so ill be doing home workouts, probably going to buy a 100lb sandbag bag and maybe a exergenie.

Bought the sandbag and when I do stuff tomorrow I will order the exergenie.

Just going to walk and relax today and the weekend.  Once Monday hits there's a good chance I'll basically be working 7 days a week.

Definitely nothing, I was at the mechanic when I typed this post and I started getting a sick feeling.  By the time I got home I was puking on my way to the house and got in bed with a massive headache n sweating.  Good thing I've been fasting or else it would have be worse.

cool. exergenie reminds me of TRX. can do some cool stuff w/ TRX.

i had a 120 lb sandbag way back in ~2004 or so. left it outside. one day was doing OHP with it. and i started feeling stings. had ants all over me. apparently they got into the bag and i was OHP'n an ant pile. luckily i had a small pool nearby. lmao.

that basketball court really pisses me off. i hate dual basketball/skate-park setups. infuriating. nice hoops tho. :ninja: :ibjumping:

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 13, 2019, 10:19:10 am
Yeah haha, I guess on the higher settings wsm competitors struggle.  I'd mainly use it for truck pull sims and rope pulls.  I'll have to get a big plastic bag to put it in just in case haha.  I figured 100lbs will be good for cleans

Odd Haugen I think is how it's spelled has Martin's Licis (4th place wsm) use it and it looks brutal considering it's constant tension
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 14, 2019, 02:48:18 pm
I will hold off on the exergenie until the weather is nicer.  I just don't want to use it when it's wet or dirty and jam it up or rust it out.

Anyway my sandbag should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday and if not tomorrow will just be a run after work depending on how full the gym is.  If it does come i will run 2 miles, do some sandbag cleans, sandbag deadlifts, sandbag carries along with farmers and sandbag holds to work the upper back.

Weekly recap, worked out on Tuesday lol
The other days was normal work and I "fasted" from 9pm to 330pm.  Around 1 or 2 I'd have a 3oz bag of jerky around 200 calories.

Maintained weight but body feels better.

Today
Run 2 miles
Squat up to 315x3x1
Clean up to 215
Deadline double overhand to 315x6 or 8 and x4 or 5

Incline bench
Db squats up to 70s each hand
Db deadlines up to 125s each hand
got outta there and planned on doing something at home but it was raining.

Also, I had like 315 for 10 if I had chalk but my grip has significantly improved.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 19, 2019, 03:43:14 pm
Pm workout
3 rounds
10 100lb sandbag clean
1 sled rope pull
1 100lb sandbag carry

Nice 13 minute workout, maybe 100ft walk and it's rough when you carry it on your chest.

Once I am completely comfortable with the walks I'll buy the 150lb sandbag.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

 :almostascoolasnyancat:Just ran
-the time off seemed to help my body, I feel a little burning in my hip but nothing bad and I feel good cardio wise.

15:10 Tabata with a 20 second prep, 20 second working time and 10 second rest.  30 cycles total
Burpees-WB-JJ
Best burpees was 8 and they are feeling strong, typically did 5 with so 3 rep round breaks

DE deadlift: 6x2@225
Oh press: 3x3@165
Bar feels uneven on 1 side, noticed the spacing on the sleeve is just a tad bit more on 1 side than the other.  Kept getting me off balance.

I think a wide would be overkill

Going to shop then do a outside workout.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 22, 2019, 02:30:25 pm
I guess at the cf games martins licis is going to break the steinborn squat record.

10 sled rope pull: 185lbs
1 long sandbag walk.

It's the gyms bar, it's as old as the gym so I think the sleeve is getting worn out.

10 min Tabata

Going to do high rep squats and some other stuff idk yet.  Maybe a wod

21-15-9
135lbs back squat
30lbs dB double snatch

:D

Slower than infinity war and definitely not as action based.  For me it was ok but it's a movie you need to get into and the people in the theater ruined that for me.  I'll give it another shot on amazon.
Brie Larson was a distraction because honestly she's shit.  She has no charisma or facial expressions except for waiting at the DMV face.  Basically a female Vin Diesel.  She would have been better as like IDK a shield type of agent or something but someone better should have been captain marvel.  She's probably good in other movies but yeah not super hero movies.  She tries to be badass female 24/7 but 0 emotion unlike another female character who when being badass you looked at her facial expressions and thought wow she might actually be pissed off at someone.  Idk that was my take on it.  Everyone was good and they did a good job of doom and gloom.

Not doing shit, might run after work this wk.  I drive by the gym and it's fucking packed.  Next week I should be on a normal schedule
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 30, 2019, 07:50:02 pm
So next week Monday and Tuesday I'll still be in days so Wednesday and on i should be good. 

This week I am fasting from 830pm to 330/4pm.
No workouts cuz I feel tired as fuck but I hate eating at work
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 05, 2019, 09:05:31 am
Even though I didn't workout this wk I believe the 20 hour fasting helped me lose weight.

My schedule is normal tomorrow so everything will go back.  They wanted me training for another day on day shift but I was like naaah lol. I could have signed off on the second day, I already knew the job. 

So yeah go back to normal,
22 minute jog
15 min tabata
Then normal workouts but I won't be staying for a long time and no more swimming.  The pool opens too late for me to care to stay for it then haul ass home to get ready for work.
I think Monday will be CrossFit wods
Tuesday will be upper body
Wednesday strongman
Thursday lower body
Fri body weight

So next week Monday and Tuesday I'll still be in days so Wednesday and on i should be good. 

This week I am fasting from 830pm to 330/4pm.
No workouts cuz I feel tired as fuck but I hate eating at work

ya i don't eat (big) at work. i hate eating a big meal, then feeling useless/tired after. i usually just have a banana + milk or oj, or some almonds etc. keeps me sharp. hah.

occasionally i've done completely-no-eating but, i find a small snack feels better. if i start getting very hungry, hard for me to code/solve problems. i just get too angry eventually. lol.

John wick 3 was the greatest movie ever made.

It has obviously amazing action and you dive deeper into the world they created, also you get a little more back story on John Wick. 

That's all I can say, usually movie theater gross people ruin movies for me but they couldn't ruin this one.

Monday nothing due to it band and getting a massage on Tuesday.

Today
2 mile run
10 min tabata
Super weird, so I go in the pool areas balcony to do this, it's away from everyone and super warm.  Well today a chick came in to do a workout too and yeah hopefully no one else figures out it's the best place to do bw workouts or I'll be pissed
Axel bar deadlift: up to 275
Axel bar with spider liquid chalk I think it's called.  Did 275 again. 
Then worked up to 335 and felt super weak
Did light squats to test out hammy and it band to 185x2x3
Then lat pulldown: up to 190x8
Hammy curls: singles up to 50x5
When I was squatting over 500 I could single leg 100 or so for 10.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 22, 2019, 01:00:18 pm
So the liquid spider chalk

I like it more than regular chalk.  With regular chalk you walk a fine line between too much and too little, plus it's messy as fuck.  For this stuff you put a nickel sized amount on your hand, rub them then wave them in the air for 10 seconds.

My hands felt dry and I could really feel the knurling on the barbell.  On the Axel bar my second rep with it felt noticably easier.  Without it I was losing grip at the top and with it I probably had 285 or so.

I will do oly lifts on Friday I think so that'll be a good test.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: adarqui on May 23, 2019, 11:38:12 pm
i like the messiness of chalk.

that spider chalk looks weird but i imagine it works good. i feel like i'd prefer actual chalk tho, spider chalk looks like it really "sticks to your hand". I hate that feeling, when something is stuck to my skin. lol.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 24, 2019, 10:47:38 pm
Lol it's not too bad, their regular chalk seems to be better plus it weighs a lot more per brick.  So it doesn't just crumble instantly.

My back is fucked up from idk.  I did oly lifts n shit today and it's fine but just standing around tightens it right up.  Also have a huge knot or strain in my lowerish mid back that suuuucks.

Yeah feels like it's slowly getting better.  Last night it didn't wake me up.

Just saw brightburn.

Basically it's if Clark Kent came to earth and was evil.  It was decent, seemed short and rushed.  A lot more gruesome than I thought and the family with the young kid that watched it probably was regretting not seeing alladin.

I'd wait to rent it on Amazon for a rainy day.

I might join a new gym, I'm getting sick of this shit.

There's 2 racks in the gym, 1 guy was squatting and a girl in the other was doing a giant set with bent over rows, t bar rows, lat pulldown and talking to people all over the gym.  Normally I'd take it over but the chick who runs the gym is in here and they are friends.  How people like that can be so fucking stupid is beyond me.

There's a new powerhouse gym that's a lot better and I get a discount cuz of where I work is a good option.

Anyway
Standing strict db press: up to 75sx5
Then side raises n front raises with cable rear flyes with rotators and a run

Idk I'm pretty pissed off so I'm just going to leave.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Jog: 21:58

I'll get the distance when I go to work, I believe it's over 2 miles.  It was a road jog in 80 degree weather which is nice but I'm just not used to it yet.

Work is being weird about shit so I'ma apply to the pd again.  Since I'm 30 the test is easier lol. So I might do every other day is cardio and the other days are straight workouts.

Next week I'll start it and do 25 min jogs and increase time by 5 mins when I feel good.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Tomorrow is a cookout and outside workout.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 05, 2019, 01:54:11 pm
40 min jog in 85 degree weather.  I'll go on Strava and figure out the distance.

Tried to squat but my inner thigh, glutes and hammies cramped up bad

It says 1.69 miles one way but there's no way in hell I'm running at 13 minute miles, at worst I'd say 11.

The distance isn't exact when you map it cuz of the curves n bends but idk with how I marked it out how much of a error there is, maybe .2 or .3 total which would make more sense.  What I might do is just drive straight to the road that I ran to and see how far it is

When I do it on the road with a massive curve to it, it still says the same distance so idk I'll see if my gps will work on it next time
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 07, 2019, 09:12:55 pm
2.05 jog

Felt decent
I can get 3 solid days of running outside in this coming week with Friday being a maybe depending on how much rain we get on Thursday.

Each day I'd like 30 minutes

Workouts will be whatever doesn't cramp

Post by: John Stamos on July 09, 2019, 10:31:28 am
Feet hurt so no running today

Deadlift: up to 350 as a single (all before was doubles n singles)
365 w/ straps(grip felt off) x shit um 6 or 7

Dead hangs, holds with 125lb dbs, lat pulldowns, hammy curls.

I'ma eat n maybe do a run before I have to get ready for work, probably 10 minutes.

Things I need to work on for deadlift
Using bands to get better at the start of the pull.  Once I get it to mid shin level it flies up.

Running wise just getting the volume in but not too much when I'm this heavy so I start to get pains in my hip n stuff.

What I wanted was every other day long run then the other days are workout and 10 minute "sprints" where the goal is eventually 1.5 miles.

I got a baseline and my first 5 mins was .5 miles then my last .5 was 4:40.

So what I think I'll do is just go 5 mins then on my way back just keep running past my driveway and figure out the distance.

Feeling fatigued still so I'll do a run, I just don't wanna go do a shitty squat workout so I'll do it tomorrow.

Over the weekend guys from work had a bachelor party for another guy and he didn't want strippers just to play airsoft.  Well after running around the woods for 5 hours in 90 degree weather I felt wrecked.  Still do today so I only did a hour walk.

Post by: John Stamos on July 16, 2019, 12:32:10 pm
Body feels sluggish but better than yesterday, ran 3 miles then walked for 30 minutes.  It was 75 out but felt like 85.  I will do another outside run tomorrow, hopefully get an hour in then the rest of the week is short runs with gym time.  It's supposed to be 90s or more by Friday and into the weekend so I wanna get my running in early.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Well gym tomorrow, we had a massive downpour today.  Probably upper body.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 17, 2019, 09:40:36 am
2 mile jog @ 10 min splits
Jogging felt better today but I'm slower on the small indoor track having to pass people and constantly take corners.

Oh press: up to 185x3
Bench: up to 225x3x3
21-15-9
Side db raise
Db oh press
Flat db press
Push ups


Everything hurts so idk if I have to hit Tris directly since they are dunzo.

Weight: 263. So eating like shit and missing workouts and I've managed to stay the same.

So I will hopefully keep on track, it's looking like they might hiring a new kid cuz of family there cuz ik that's what makes someone a great worker.

So the police test is in september, and the fitness test would either be winter or after winter.  So I have plenty of time, I'd like to get to a 10 min 1.5 miles.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 18, 2019, 03:36:14 pm
Ran: within 13 minutes I did 1.4 miles and finished the run in 15:22.  Around 1.8 miles.

Felt horrible but that's where I need to be almost just to pass the test so if I drop 60-70lbs and keep at it then I'll destroy the test.  Also, the first .2 miles is a slight incline and running back up the hill kills me more than my recovery down it.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 18, 2019, 06:00:08 pm
Well looks like I got moved to Midnight's next week which is fucking stupid.

I'll try to get in what I can, honestly mostly just run unless I feel decent at 730am
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 19, 2019, 11:34:25 am
Run 1.16 miles in 10:05
Walk 2 laps to get the distance, 1 lap was .29 almost .3
Run again in maybe 10:30
Walk

I was relieved to see that 4 laps was more than a mile or else I would have felt shitty.

Next week I'ma see the weather and go from there.

At best I'll do 21-15-9
And just do giant sets
Then I'd run from the rec to the high school and back or run on the sidewalk to town and back.  I'll have to use my car to figure out the distance.

If weather is shit then I'll just run on the dreadmill
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 21, 2019, 11:18:54 am
Doing a quick run down my driveway and back then sleeping for the bs midnight shift.

Goals are to make it to the top of the hill by 5 minutes, then make it to one of my neighbors by 13 minutes or beyond, and hopefully get 14 minutes idc if it's 14:59 for the whole run which is 1.85 miles I think.

I'm tempted to Strava it but if the gps goes out then I'm stuck with a clunky phone bouncing around in my pocket the whole time.

So I failed, I managed to go further on my 5 minute and 13 minute mark but overall time was close to the same.

Physically I felt good but I feel like my back is so tight that it made it harder to fully breath, it felt like I was trying to breath when its cold.

I also wasn't sweating and didn't start to sweat until I finished the run. 

If I could work out the kinks and manage a good run where nothing hinders me I could easily do it.  The first trip down my breathing was totally garbage and I felt worn out before I hit a mile.

Gonna map out the runs tomorrow and figure out how far they are.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 23, 2019, 08:34:08 am
Felt good going into the run but cramped up and legs got weak pretty quick.  I felt good after work but immediately during the run became tired a d even started yawning n shit on my way home

So yeah ran 1.16 miles in 9:45 I think.  About 20 seconds faster than last time.

The rest of the wk I will slowly build up or go to bed and wake up around noon to go for a run. 

The gym is closed next wk I think so I'll use it to just build up a lot of endurance, possibly hr runs each day
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 24, 2019, 08:07:57 am
Gym is closed the 3rd wk of August so still got time.

Quick workout
Oh press to 185x5 then dropped to 135
Deadlift to 315x6
Bench to 225x3x2

Giant set
21-15-9
Db raises: 25-30-35lbs
Db flat press: 50-60-70
Db rows: 60-60-60

Done in a half hour, I was on the maxim all night so I was moving around quite a bit.

Ran 2 miles after work

Felt like the worst run of my life

My cardio n all that was fine but I was so worn out that by the 1.5 mile mark I got light headed and just felt like a flu hit me, felt like I was losing balance. 

So if they keep me on Midnight's cuz they're stupid, then I'll just sleep and when I wake up around this time that's when I'd do my runs.

Yeah I'm back on afternoons next week thank God

I will sleep til like noon then hit the gym
Plan is legs, back, arms

I will possibly do a run to the hs and back, not sure how far it is but it'd be a good warm up
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 26, 2019, 08:32:01 pm
Just hit random shit to feel the weight

Squats to 2x3@275
Legs cramped up

Power clean to hang power clean
Up to 185x3

Lat pulldowns, arms etc

Nothing major
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 29, 2019, 08:11:13 am
The best physically and cardio wise that I've felt while running in a long time.

I was slow because of burping fucking up my breathing and about a mile in I felt a poo coming on.

Stopped at 1.93 to run to the bathroom.

If I didn't have those issues then I was at 6mph at the start then up .3 to .5 every .25 miles.

Anyway gonna finish this up then have a push day

Oh press to 185x3 then safe press to 210
Safe press is usually on a yoke but it's a fluid motion of dipping under the bar, racking it and pressing it all at once.

95lbs for Max reps in 5 mins
101 reps.

Now giant set with dbs n cable work

21-15-9
Db side raise - db flat press - db tricep extension

Cable flyes and push downs.

Felt good but I woke up at 330 n couldn't get back to sleep n I ate beforehand which I never do and makes me feel shitty but I was hungry haha
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 30, 2019, 02:29:21 pm
Didn't eat supper or lunch yesterday and went out for wing night.

Felt like garbage and it's the last time I go, pretty much slept all day

Tomorrow is run with back day.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 31, 2019, 11:56:31 am
Nothing yesterday, my sleep has been fucked, Monday night I slept til 330am, the next night I slept til 1 am, today I woke up at 230am then slept from 430 to 8am.

So yeah it's all over the place.

Road run: 1.8 - 1.85 miles: 14.52, previous or was 15:20

I still feel like shit on the first 3 minutes because it's all an incline and I instantly get heavy legs.

The better I get at this run hopefully it'll transfer to a regular flat run.  If I can get my half mile time on from like 4:30 or whatever to 3:30 I'd be happy.

Hey adarq, what do you usually do for a warm up before a run?
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 01, 2019, 12:10:33 pm
Weight: 259
Cleans for warm ups: up to 185
Deadlift to 315x6x4x6( last with straps)
All double overhand
Some lat pulldowns, biceps etc nothing major, typical back work.

Tomorrow is legs and a run
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: adarqui on August 02, 2019, 12:51:17 am
Hey adarq, what do you usually do for a warm up before a run?

not much really. my warmup is running very slow. ie, trotting at >= 10:XX min/mi pace for a mile, then picking it up etc.

so that's it basically. just easing into it very slow.

even for hard efforts I do stuff like that. for example, when preparing to hit a hard mile effort i might do: 1 mile very slow (9:XX-10:XX), progressively more intense ~60-100m strides + jog ~300-400+m x 4-8, another very light mile (9:XX+, clearing everything, relaxing, getting ready to go very hard, focusing on the game plan), hard af mile.

for long runs/tempo, i'll still do 1 mile very light, then a buildup mile, then get into it.

pc man!
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 02, 2019, 12:20:58 pm
Alright cool cool, I'll run the opposite direction which is a more flat run and about 8 minutes total before I get to the normal starting spot for the incline, hopefully that will help.

Will try it on Sunday.

Nah he beat me by 2 steps but I have like 60lbs on him so I consider it a win.

Feels a lot better today, just feels like a sore knot now in a few spots.  Will just rest n go to work and do walks tomorrow.  Wednesday hit upper body and just walk the other days, next week should be a light workout week with jogs and light hammy work.

Walked for about a half hour

Felt good this morning waking up, on my walk I definitely felt it in my hammies but felt good to get blood pumped in there.

This was a quicker recovery than I thought.  I think next week the gym is closed so it'll b running and bw workouts

1.8 road run
Actually felt better than before my hammy pull.  My legs didn't feel like lead for the first mile.

I didn't bother timing it cuz it was the first time running in 2 weeks.

Tomorrow will be a jog outside if it's nice out and a upperbody workout.

I just wanna do super sets and what not if it's not busy and throw in more of a CrossFit style like the 21-15-9

Also wanna do light hammy work
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 19, 2019, 11:24:38 am
No run, old people on the track and dreadmills were taken up.

AMRAP
15 minutes
21-15-9
20lb wallball
Jump rope(numbers doubled)
Push up

Did 2 rounds + 3rd round of wallballs

This killed me due to the temperature and I haven't done shit so the wallballs killed my shoulders

Oh press from bar to 135 for sets of 5
Didn't want to go too heavy since it has been a few weeks so just starting over

Bench, triples from 135 to 225

Incline db press: sets of 10 from 50-60-70

Supinated db extension: 3x10
Db side raises 3x10
Cable face pulls x3x10

Good nuff

Will stop by the trail tomorrow to run beforehand or the track.
Then idk back day
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Run: 1.94 miles
I ran from the gym to town and back, car said 2 miles but I guess it was a bit shorter, next time I will go a bit further

First mile was 9:23 pace and second woulda been 10

It's a lot of hills, not very big but enough to jack the heart up and it's a different stimulus compared to my road.

I'm happy with 9:23 cuz I felt like garbage the first mile and my phone was bouncing around a lot so I slowed down to stop it.


Db rows: 50-60-70-80-90x10
Lat pulldowns: bunch to heavy weight
Now it's seated row for the same and hit biceps and I'm dunzo oh yeah also some leg curls
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Yeah I meant the track above the bball court, you can only fit 2 people side by side and there were a couple groups of old people on it.

It's not a bad run, I took today off cuz of thunderstorms and I felt like crap.  Tomorrow the run will be the same but a bit further cuz the parking lot to the gym is closed off and we have to use one further away.

Maybe run, Oly lifts just hang snatch and clean, hammy work, a word, Friday will be the same but with legs
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 23, 2019, 11:49:11 am
No gym til idk Monday or eh maybe tomorrow, I have to see their schedule for construction.

We have to use another parking lot which is small and always full so no point.

Going to go for a run after my dump.

It's on my road so the normal 1.8 miles but I'm going to add about another half mile to it by starting off running in the opposite direction so hopefully that will make me feel better by the time I get to the incline.

I will have Strava or something on for it, I think it's 5 mins down and back going the opposite direction. So I might start the run from my car so it could equal to 2.5 miles.

I can do a road run for time or go to the shit track and do an hour.

I'm leaning towards the hour run and maybe a half hour walk after.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 25, 2019, 11:26:55 am
1hr run
5.3 miles
I slowed it down a lot to get a baseline of where I'm at.  I've been too focused on speed so slowing it down and building my cardio will be better in the long run considering how tired my legs are when i try to go for speed.

11'19 splits and the track I was on was like running on an uneven road so I'm happy with it.

I walked another more than half mile to get around 6 miles total.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 27, 2019, 09:16:54 am
Oh strict press triples to 165
Bench triples to 3x3x235

21-15-9
Db side raise - db oh press - db incline press - push ups

I feel super weak but it has been awhile lol

I'm in the cramping stage of haven't worked out with weights in awhile so I won't hit triceps.

I'll look around and see if I wanna do anything else
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 29, 2019, 12:09:35 pm
2 mile run or so idk I ran to town and back
Hang power snatch
Start with a high pullx2 then snatch x 2
Went to 145 and it looked bad lol
Haven't done grip shit in awhile and definitely felt it

Deadlift: to 275x3
First deadlift session after my hammy pull.  Honestly didn't feel bad just grip made it feel a lot heavier

Biceps

Lat pulldowns x a lot
Hammy curls

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Going to run and hit legs tomorrow then next wk work back into CrossFit and honestly just going to smash it, try to do a squat pull and press every day

Also I am at the top of the hiring list for the apprenticeship so yeah I just have to do somewhat good in the interview when they come up.

When that happens I'll probably find a house to rent or something near work and get a dreadmill.

Getting back to CrossFit

Haven't been doing a lot with bb cuz I find it extremely boring, hopefully CrossFit will get me back into the gym.

21-15-9
Thrusters@95lbs - hang power cleans @ 135lbs
Took 18.5 minutes lol. Felt sick multiple times so I had to stop and my legs are super crampy from just not squatting.

Thinking of another one, probably umm

4 rounds
Run .25
Db hang cleans x 30-20-10-5
Db swings x 30.....
Row: same time it takes to do the run.

This was rough but good, legs are shot.
I think my times were: 2:41-2:35-2:50-2:51
This felt like a good first day back, I was conservative on things since ik what CrossFit feels like but still pushed the pace on some of it.

Just doing metcons this week with run days so I can get my legs back into it then throw in strength days with metcons.

Post by: John Stamos on September 05, 2019, 10:19:44 am
Made it about a mile for my run so far, felt like halfway I had to take a dump so I turned around.

Gonna finish up in the bathroom, do another mile then figure out my workout.

Open 19.1
15 min AMRAP
19 wb
19 Cal row
The rower is busted and won't calculate calories or distance accurately.  For instance it reads it like .025 km for 3 minutes worth even though that's 1 km for me.
7.5 rounds and I rowed for about 55 seconds each time.

Gonna walk n get my legs back to shit but still better than they are now and look up another word

Thinking about the standard workout from the games.
30 clean and press
30 muscle ups
30 snatch
Idk what I will do for the muscle ups, I'll figure it out
I swapped out muscle ups for burpees
Time: 16:30ish

Still horrible but whatever, that's 11 reps per minute lol

Gonna walk n jog for 10 mins and that's it.
Roughly 30 mins of working time with a form of weight and about 20 mins of jogging and 5 mins of walking.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 09, 2019, 10:50:34 am
3 min AMRAP with 1 minute rest x 5 rounds
3 hang power clean @ 135
6 push ups
9 air squats
I did average of 3 sets per round but some were 3 sets plus 2 cleans or some shit and round 3 I did 4 sets.

This was a good beginner one, I felt tight as shit early on but round 3 I loosened up and went for it which made me breathe a lot harder the rest of the rounds

5 minutes on the stairmaster lol
This was harder than running, my pchain was on fire.

Going to hit pool room stuff after my dump then do another 5 mins on the stairmaster and head out.

Pool room stuff idk yet but will involve burpees, wallball, jump rope and idk jj or something.

10-9-8........1
50 jump rope x all sets
Burpees
Wallball
Jj
19:51
This is one that I want to track on a weekly basis.  My burpees are terrible right now plus some hip pain caused me to slow down.  Ultimately I'm just shit at burpees.  Ik I can do the set of ten in under a minute(burpees alone) when I was good, probably 40 seconds.  So I would like to see how much time I can cut from the 19:51.  Around the round of 7 I started to go faster on the burpees so goal is to do each round unbroken.

Lol yeah it kills the mood.

Ran I don't remember what it was, 1.94 I think in 19:28 with hills.

Squatting now.

Haven't squatted all summer really plus the hammy pull so I just went to 225 on f squat and 275 on back squat.  Felt super awkward

Did a 4 minute tabata like I laid out, it was killing my grip so I just did 1 set

Did 3 rounds of helton.

Once I get a few more weeks in I'll increase the volume cuz right now I don't have the endurance to last. By the time I get to the last WOD I just feel drained like I'm going through the motions.

So at work they are combining 2 bottle lines which means they won't hire as many people as before or any for that matter, who knows.  So now I am prepping for police fitness tests cuz I can't keep wasting time at my current job if they don't plan on hiring more apprentices cuz all the old people who can retire and don't do jack shit at work won't retire.  There are 30 that can but when you make around 100k a year with 8 weeks of vacation, most of them won't leave until they die.

During it I felt a bit sick for about a minute or so

Might do the same third WOD but do something besides thrusters.

Total time moving so far is 46.5 minutes

I'll try for a WOD that will take me 14 minutes.

Eh it was 11 and I needed to get some groceries.

I am down 6lbs from last week.

True true, I'd hate to be on the internet in a pic with shit running down my leg.

Did a 1hr 20min walk.

Not sure if work is going to hire.  I took the tests yesterday so I will be training for the fitness tests which should be easier cuz I'm old asf and the standards are lower lol.

Tomorrow will be more cf stuff, I'll plan it out later
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 16, 2019, 10:43:22 am
1.94 run to town and back( run with hills)
I don't remember the exact time but it was like around 9:20 splits.

Clean to 195
Snatch to 135
Each one made me feel light headed, idk why I feel so weak today.  I definitely need to stretch a lot more, my back and rear delts are so tight I had trouble racking the weight in the clean.

7 min wod
3-6-9...
Thrusters @ 95lbs
Fat man pullup
Got to 5 thrusters in the round of 15.
Again back was so tight it made the 95lbs feel a lot heavier.

I want 1 more WOD so I can get home and eat n get ready for work.

I'm thinking a emom with dbs
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 16, 2019, 12:18:20 pm
Food is bacon, 4 eggs, bagel.

Going to have a brotein shake before work

Supper is shredded chicken and chicken flavored rice with veggies.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 16, 2019, 12:43:23 pm
Tomorrow

Outside run
Stretch
OH press with bb and db

WOD in my signature
Emom 10 minutes
5 bent over rows
5 back squats
Might just do 135 for both or if no one is in there I'll use 2 bars for different weights

Emom 10 minutes dbs
Db snatch x 5
Squat x 10
Db rdl x 10

I'll do warm up rounds where I time how long these take and adjust.
I'd like to have it take about 40 seconds but not go so hard that I crap out too early





Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 17, 2019, 09:48:08 am
Run: 18:18
Not sure if it's my fastest split, I think it is

Weekly WOD
Tracking it in my signature, last week was 19:51 today was 17:41

I think if I had more water I could have gone faster.  I only have 1 bottle of Powerade and I was trying to conserve it throughout so I had to drink when I felt like absolute shit instead of just shit
What I did differently was go unbroken on the sets of 10 and 9 of burpees and cruised until the set of 5 and lower.
I still did a bunch of resting cuz it burned up my shoulders.  Once my shoulders are conditioned I think I could knock off another minute.

First emom down
It was hardish only cuz I'm worn out.  My shirt is completely covered in sweat

I'll do the second one but just gonna rest and once it is 10:50 I'll start it so I can recover and leave at 11

Also the reps will go down to 5 each

NVM, just nothing left in the tank, going to save it for another day.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Slow hr jog at 5mph

Eh mentally I was fine, physically my hips n down were tight but I was never really breathing hard.  I just wanted to get in some longer distance but the run to town and back with the hills have been helping.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Nothing lately, I got an email for my interview on Tuesday so just prepping for that, after my interview I'll do some shit maybe or just start back up on Wednesday.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 25, 2019, 10:20:24 am
Ran the route that's from the gym to town and back.
Felt good, haven't ran in 5 or 6 days or something and it felt better than before lol

Today is just a long tabata and other be words.  Haven't done weights in that time so I want to hit bw stuff so when I hit weights tomorrow I don't cramp up easily.

First tabata is 10 on 10 off
With 10 seconds it allows me to push hard every time especially at the end.

Push up -> sit up-> squat
For 10 minutes
Felt good and got a nice sweat going.

I'll either think of another tabata or go with a bw WOD.

Did some Oly lifting.
Got my final interview tomorrow so I'll see if I fuck that up.

If not I'll be celebrating by either a gold plated engraved desert eagle or a custom Zeus Olympic bar from rogue

So if I don't get the Apprenticeship then my workout days will be 8am to 9am run and workout stuff, rest til 9:30 then 9:30 to 10 do workout stuff then rest til 10:30 then 10:30 to 11:30 do workout stuff.

Seems stupid but workout stuff could be literally just walking.  I just want to keep moving, especially since they want an academy by the beginning of the year.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 27, 2019, 11:56:03 am
Today was a run to town and back

Deadlift to 300

Today is the last day of the season so I become a weekender til I find out if I got the apprenticeship so Monday I start my 3 workout days lol
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 30, 2019, 10:37:06 am
I'ma try that day tomorrow

I've woken up early every day this past week so by Sunday I was out cold most of the day which meant I didn't get to bed til 1am.

Still I ran to town and back, did strict oh press to 185 then AMRAP 95LB OH press for 5 mins
Hit cleans to 205
Hit some triceps

Tomorrow I will be doing the 3 workout morning thing depending on if my brothers baby is born today or tomorrow.

Did that up to the 10-1 WOD

My lower stomach feels shitty like if I go and do much more I might pull something.

So overall hit about 4 miles today, did a back workout, and a metcon. 

Not what I wanted but gotta be smart.


Just going to fast today til I break and cave on some special k cereal lol
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 02, 2019, 08:53:27 am
Gonna do my run, it's raining so not to town, around the track or dreadmill depending on how many people are on the track.

Then the 7 minute metcon
Except for pullups it'd be something else idk yet
Then the rest of the time will be  30 minutes of just bw stuff

Then chest and bis

So
Block 1
20 minute run: 10 min splits
7 min metcon: got to 6 snatches in the round of 15
Remaining time bw stuff
Right now I have 33 minutes of bw and there is no set or rep scheme just gonna go hard
Block 2
Cardio
Incline walk / row / bike / stairmaster 15 minutes each

Block 3
Chest and bis

Well gonna do cardio, they locked the area where I do my bw workouts cuz they're fucking idiots.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 02, 2019, 11:15:00 pm
Tomorrow
Run: 30 minutes
WOD
4 minutes
15 deadlift
15 Thrusters
15 WALLBALL
Once I hit 90 reps 4 minutes is added for another set of 90, keep at it til failure.

Goal is 3 rounds

10-1
Cleans
Burpees
Start at 10 for cleans and 1 for burpees

Be stuff, if I have to I will get the doors unlocked.  I will go for an hour.  Basically I will just work like I did at the academy

That's about 2 hours of work

Then walk

So I guess my work called people today for the job and supposedly they are calling tomorrow too so if I get the call and they want me to come in for paperwork n shit then I'd cut it short.  If not then it's academy prep
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 03, 2019, 09:27:55 am
People blocking up the track and treadmills so no run

30 min bw stuff
The 4 min wod then keep adding, yeah goal was 3 rounds but I managed 1 right at the 4:01 mark lol. So yeah 3 rounds is eventually the goal.  I used the barbell for thrusters but it's such a shit move.  Next time I'll do dbs so I can maintain a better position.

10-1
Start at 10 with 95lb Cleans and 45lb db for snatch

Honestly my mind is on the phone call if I get one or not so head isn't in it today and I keep getting messages from Co workers asking if I heard anything.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 03, 2019, 07:05:42 pm

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 04, 2019, 10:04:11 am
Increased my distance, not sure by how much but the normal run is 1.94 miles and I added maybe an extra 10 minutes or less, idk I'd say 2.5 miles

I'll drive it and see the rough distance and just guess.

Legs will be iffy, they are already just wrecked but I'll give it a go.

Squats to 275x2
Form was iffy and I felt every muscle throughout the movement.  That's how wrecked my legs are lol

Rdl: 275x 5

Chipper
23:15ish
I like chippers cuz you get a lot of work in and generally they don't get boring or destroy you but keep a consistent pace
My 1km I did 3:30 since the rower doesn't measure distance anymore.

I actually feel good and wanna do more.

Chipper 2.
JR: 100 SINGLE unders
Run 4 laps(about a quarter mile or a lil less)
Burpees:x 20
Run 4 laps
Db swing x 30
Run 4 laps
Snatch: decent weight x 10
Run 4 laps

I'll do a few more metcons and hit hammy curls and call it a day til I do my stepper tonight.

Tomorrow since I don't give a fuck about doing anything at work I'm doing my idiotic training and going up to the gym to run for an hour and the rest of the shift take my breaks and spray a hose at a conveyor.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 04, 2019, 11:15:10 am
I'm beat I'ma save it for later

Road run

2.58 miles
Avg split 10:18
Fastest was 9:57
Time: 26:40

I noticed my strides are pretty short and going for a longer stride just stretched out my hips to the point it felt like they are so tight that they were just fighting it.  Gotta start stretching a lot more.  Maybe when I do my middle block or whatever I'll do 40 min walks and 20 minutes of stretching.


Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 05, 2019, 11:21:53 am
Pounded some coffee which was a terrible idea

Going to run what I think will be about 3 miles.  I'll Strava it to make sure.  I'd like to get 6 miles today so 3 now then 3 later at work.

Tomorrow I just want to get to the track early and just run, put the Strava on and just go until I stop.  This way I'm not just looking at my distance the whole time and I can just enjoy a nice run.

Not gonna run at work, just going to rest the rest of the day.  My legs feel wrecked but still running decently.

Run
3.48 miles, I wish I knew I had .02 more to go but oh well.
Time: 37:26
Realistically I lost probably 30 seconds getting the podcast going after I started Strava and stopping the run when I was done.

Fastest pace was 10:37
All paces were under 11 minutes.
I'm fine with that considering how sore my legs are.

Yeah I'll see if it's on Amazon.

 :ibrunning:
I think 20 minutes
Goal was 30 minutes but I was on a dreadmill and I wanted to test my mile after. 
Mile test: 7:46
Pretty much max effort, any faster and I would have puked.
A 7:46 mile at almost 260 ain't too bad.

Foam rolling now then some Oly lifts with metcons and then bw shit.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 07, 2019, 12:41:01 pm
Did some Oly lifts, snatch to 145, shoulders super tight
Cleans to 185x2.  Had 0 power at the hips, it felt incredibly awkward.  I must have killed myself on the run.

Finished with 911 tribute
2001 m row(originally it's run but I ran enough)
Then 11 reps of 9 exercises
2001 m row

I did stuff like thrusters, deadlift, db swing, box step up, box jump, pull up(kipping single) hanging leg raises and a few others.

Not a hard WOD but it'd be a really good warm up.

So right now my max mile is 7:46, I feel like that essentially was my best but it takes a bit to set things up so a half minute in and I was at my starting speed.  If I could have just ran on the track I think I could have been able to pace better.  Still though I think I can get it to 8:10 split for a mile and a half.  I'll do my treadmill work and get used to the different paces.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 07, 2019, 12:52:48 pm
I think tomorrow is a high volume run, just gotta think about where I'll be doing it at.  I really want to be near a bathroom lol but that means running on a shit track.


Also I guess game changers will be on Netflix later this month

Thanks, hopefully when I get closer and start recovering a bit a d peaking I'll be in a better position.

1.5hr run today
7 miles lol

I wanted 13 but my body isn't conditioned for that yet, maybe on a good normal track but not on the one I was running on.  It's pretty much a shitty uneven road.

My times were like less than 13 min paces

Breathing wise I felt great, could have done it all day.

They are holding fitness prep tests, one in a few weeks and one in November so the test has to be coming soon.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 08, 2019, 01:02:18 pm
Looking at it, I need 1.5 miles in 12:59

It took 5 miles in to get my pace to 12:50.  I feel like a half mile ain't shit and fresh I could do a 1.5 mile run maybe in the 11s.  Later this week I might try it depending on the weather.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 09, 2019, 11:01:00 am
Foam roll
30:50 min tabata
15 on 10 rest
Just did random exercises

I'm up in weight, I am taking in more volume of food but a lot better.

For instance yesterday my bfast was 4 eggs, mushrooms, bell better, 1 slice of cheese and 2 eggo waffles

Lunch was shredded chicken with mild sauce and chicken flavored rice with veggies.
I used a big yogurt container as my bowl and I had 1/3 of it filled with shredded chicken.

Dinner was special k cereal

Then idk if my metabolism is up but I was so hungry at night I couldn't sleep so I had 2 small pbj sammiches.

Not good for the sammiches but all n all better than before when I'd have bacon and chicken wings and subs n shit.

I'm also sweating a lot more so I'm definitely taking in more fluids.

Gonna walk/rest and figure something else out to do
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 10, 2019, 10:44:54 am
Ran the new route to town with the big hill
2.65 miles
Average pace: 10:33
Fastest was 10:29
I wanted to keep it around my natural cadence.  I figure if it's 10:30 on this route then a track it's gotta be low 10s to high 9s.  I slow down so much on the hills going up and still can't run down fast enough to make a difference.

Anyway I'm happy with it.

Gonna hit upperbody

Benched to 225 without leg involvement.  On the way up I did push ups between sets and on the way back down I did push ups.

Then typical shit for chest and tris
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 11, 2019, 10:16:06 am
New route for the town run.
3.35 miles
More hills
Time: 37 minutes
Avg pace- 11:04
Fastest was like 10:50
Temp: my car said around 45-48 degrees

Gonna figure out what to do in the gym

Tomorrow I'm cleaning at work so I'm planning on running and working out on my break.



Did macho Man WOD for 6 mins, wrists started hurting from fsquats.  Used 95lbs for half and 115 for half.

21-15-9
Deadlift @ 185
Pullups / squat
10 mins
Did kipping pullups in singles.  I think I did like 7 the first round, 5 then 4 and finished the set with squats.
At my weight I try to be careful cuz it seems easy to tear a bicep

Gonna relax this weekend

With the running especially when it's cold outside I'm starting to feel like shit and my feet hurt so gonna get after it tomorrow.

Probably doing the long route tomorrow with some bodyweight stuff and maybe upperbody weights.  Focusing now on getting my pressing strength up and I'll do a more focused tabata with push ups and sit ups

Yeah haha I need it.

I felt like shit today and tried to run, got a mile and a half in but it was pointless.

Have had a headache and maybe sinus shit going on.  I had my window open all night on accident so that didn't help.

Gonna try to get up earlier tomorrow and hit a normal workout.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 15, 2019, 09:23:27 am
It's cold but gonna do the run, took a probiotic last night so I'm a bit better now lol

Then I think upperbody, moderate weight with a rep range around 10-15.

Then maybe a 10 minute or 15 minute be WOD or a modified 20.1

So maybe 8 wallballs and 10 burpees
15 min time cap for 10 rounds.
Pssst I won't finish it lol
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 15, 2019, 10:22:00 am
Ran for 38 minutes, Samsung health told me I did 6 miles and had a avg speed of like 10mph lol way off but the time is probably right for 3.6 miles or so

Hit bench with 185x15 then 2 other sets of however many reps
Oh press
Shoulder db stuff
Cable chest stuff
Cable tricep stuff
Jm press to 155

The runs are still wearing me out too much, well today my quads were burning, last week they werent.  So just gotta stretch and rehydrate.

I'll go for a walk in a bit..maybe.  I took some ex lax and now just waiting for the pain train.

Post by: John Stamos on October 16, 2019, 09:33:09 am
It's windy out, might just do the shorter route today.  I'll look up my times for it and see what I'll be shooting for.

Today is idk hopefully bw day but depends on if it's locked and who is at the front desk.

15 min stationary bike
Open 20.1: 15 min time cap, 10 rounds
95lb ground to overhead x8
10 burpees
Made it to 1 clean and press on round 7

I had to do hang cleans cuz I don't have bumpers.

Open 19.1: 15 mins
19 Cal row
19 wallball
My rower doesn't calculate distance and calories cuz something is broken.  I checked online and saw people say 19 Cal's is about a minute or more so I went with just doing 1:15 rows.
I got to 6 full rounds and finished row and 3 wallballs on round 7.  First time I did it I did 1 minute rows and got to round 9.

Basically there's a hurricane in Florida and a girl who is a swimmer goes to find her dad who won't answer his phone.  Shows up at their old house and heads to the basement to find alligators.  So the movie is then basically them trying to move up the house and another house before they drown and to avoid the Gators.

Now I'm biased cuz I love movies like this, ex. Lake placid and the first 2 anaconda movies.

This was a good movie, a lot of good scenes where stuff is happening in the background and the character in the foreground? doesn't hear or see what's going on behind them.  The cgi was pretty decent, the storm looked pretty good and certain scenes with the Gators would have freaked me the fuck out if I was in that situation.

I rented it, might buy it when it comes down to like 6 bucks or see if it ends up on prime.


Also, I felt way better today than the previous day's, I think me being backed up put a strain on my body or something.

Getting ready to go

It's raining so gonna do either the small track or dreadmill.  35 minutes I think should be good.  Probably keep it at 10 min splits or a lil slower.

Then probably just bw stuff.  Tomorrow I'll hit back legs and Oly lifts with a run.

Run: 18 mins on short track then 17 mins on treadmill
I was playing with pacing for a lil bit, I can kind of comfortably keep the 12 min pace for 1.5 miles.  I need to do 12:59.  The hills have made running on a flat surface easy af.
My normal pace was about 40 seconds per lap(12 min pace is about 28 seconds)

Did a tabata
10:27 with 15 second prep time
20 on 15 off
Push ups and sit ups and I threw in jj when I felt a cramp coming in my abs or my shoulders were getting worn out.

Resting for a bit and gonna do another tabata or wod
100 Jr
10-1
Air squat
Push up
100 Jr
Couldn't think of anything else, I'm too worn out for burpees.

Up in weight cuz uk a lot of cardio and gym time with eating pretty decently means you gain weight lol wtf
I am super hydrated so idk it's fucking annoying.  Going to count calories to see where I am at.

Yesterday's calories was 1313 without my lunch, I forgot what I had.  It definitely wasn't like 1500 calories worth.

If I'm not working Midnight's this weekend then I have a stupid WOD in mind for tomorrow.  If I am then I'll do the normal workout I posted earlier.

I talked myself into a rest day and got bored so I went.  My gym is connected to the school so my goal was to get in and out before the buses lined up.

Running intervals
1 mile
30 on 30 off
My off was 5mph and on was 6 starting and increased 2mph each one.

Mile 2
On started at 6.3 mph and off was 5.3

Mile 3
On started at 6.5mph off was 5.5mph

2 min rest between miles

Did some deadlifting, lat pulldowns and leg curls.

Going to run today before work.

If I get a chance to run outside next week I'ma do the hard route.  The hard route would be essentially just going back the same way instead of looping around.  This way I get more hill work and on the hills I'll try to Sprint up them.

Run today will be idk 2 miles or something depending on how I feel.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 20, 2019, 02:43:21 pm
Ran 2.58 miles
Time: 24:25
Avg pace-: 9:28

Ran the same route on October 4th and did it in 26:40

I felt like crap cuz I hate running after I eat but I had to wait for the weather to get a bit warmer.  Right now it's pretty much perfect running temperature.

This may sound stupid but towards the end I figured out how to run.  I changed my style a bit and I felt just as good cardio wise but I was moving faster.  Will do it tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday are all looking good.  Tuesday and Friday look like rain.  If that's the case then Tuesday Fri will be interval speed days.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 21, 2019, 11:37:58 am
Ran the short route the one that's like 1.9 miles
I think I averaged 9:11 splits

With hills and being 40 degrees out it's not that bad.

Did basic push day stuff, bench, oh press, shoulder dbs, cable chest and triceps.

It's supposed to be 60 out by 2 so I'll go for another run then. If I run again now I'll half ass it.

It was hard to get motivated, I was cold and couldn't get warm so I felt like I was getting sick with a headache.  I talked myself into just seeing where I am at for a 1.5 mile run after running already and working out.

I did it in 12:48
Goal is 12:59
So with sore ass feet along my arches, tons of knots in my back and feeling like crap I beat the target.  I hope once I peak and get massages in I'll be able to do it comfortably.  I kept it on my road that had minimal hills to make it someone similar.

Anyway, thinking of trying to add some distance to my runs, my long route is about 3.5 miles or whatever so looking to try to add a half mile to it.  I think ik how so I'll test it out Wednesday.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 22, 2019, 11:01:43 am
Bike 20 minutes
Right knee is aching along with feet.

Cleans up to 215
Snatch: drill work up to 120
Hang power snatch to 145
The drill work was swing the bar against your hip or thighs in a hang clean position and on the third one bump it and focus on pulling your elbows up and following through with it.

So thats all I did, with my foot and knee ache I didn't want to push it so figured it'd be good to rest for tomorrow.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 22, 2019, 03:35:54 pm
Tomorrow's workout

Stretch
Run 3 miles
3km row
600 single unders

WOD 2
Deadlift: 135x10
Db thrusters x 4 reps
Deadlift: 165x12
Db thrusters...
Deadlift: 185x15
.....
Deadlift: 205x18
....
Deadlift: 215x20
.....
Deadlift: 225x25
This one is going to suck

Then I will see how I feel.

Honestly I kind of want to go to the fire department.   That way I can focus on cardio but also getting strong.  Their tests are more strength oriented but still having decent cardio.  There's one in April so that might be an option.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 23, 2019, 11:28:20 am
3 mile time was like 28 minutes
3Km row idk
600 single unders

Then the deadlift WOD

I went with 10-12-14-16-18-20
135-155-175-195-205-225
Then 35lb db thrusters, I wanted heavier but people are using other dbs so there wasn't any 45s and like 1 40lb db n shit like that.

I'll hit cable crunches and call it, that WOD fucking killed me.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 23, 2019, 07:47:35 pm
Got turned down for the job.

Used the same excuse as the last few times and used the same excuse for other people.  So basically it's a bullshit lie, all Anheuser Busch cares about is what family tree within the company you belong to and looking "diverse."
I've always been in the belief that the most qualified person deserves the job but that isn't their standard.  During the hiring they had a few meetings with managers asking for recommendations, my managers flat out told them, he interviewed, he did great in it, now just hire him already.  But no, they went with a kid who can't do conversions, doesn't know how to transfer between packers, can't start up the equipment and can't fix issues with the machines.  But uk, his qualifications was his sister is best friends with a useless manager who acts like she's constantly hungover and he knew another manager before getting in.  I had the pleasure of working with him over the weekend and I decided to not babysit, as soon as I did that, I came back from break and he massively fucked up.

This has severely pissed me off considering how much of a fucking liar that incel ops manager is and it's lit a fire under my ass(if thats a thing)

Oh yeah another girl they hired, missed 2 months of the season( it's 5 months long) for a broken arm and she still got hired cuz her uncle is a higher up.

Anyway, gonna focus on the fitness test n shit.

Oh yeah gonna go into the basement and do a night workout.

Tomorrow idk yet, I'll plan it out when I'm done.  Consist of running, stairmaster, maybe some back work and wods and a half hour bw workout
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 24, 2019, 11:33:26 am
40 minute easy jog around the track

Db rows@50s-60-70-80x10
Lat pulldown: 3 sets of 2 different handles x 10
Bicep curls

WOD in my signature: previous time was like 17 minutes, I can't see my signature right now but yeah 17 something.
Current PR: 14:22

So yeah I am leaps I'm conditioning beyond what I was when I last did that WOD. 

Difference: this time I took 1 short break to get some water(maybe 10 seconds)
Previously I remember breaking up maybe rounds 9 and 8..maybe 7 with small breaks throughout.  This time I went unbroken on everything.

Only way I can speed up is just moving fast on my jump ropes and just being able to do burpees as easy as Dan Bailey.  Even then I think the fastest with more training is maybe 12 minutes and that's pushing it considering the jr takes about a half minute every time and take off a few seconds for going a bit faster.

Either way that felt good and slightly improved my mood.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 24, 2019, 03:39:34 pm
So yeah September 9th was the first time I did the WOD in my signature.  So in what a month and a half I've cut like 5 minutes off my time.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 27, 2019, 06:06:40 pm
This weekend has been a rest weekend.  Tomorrow I increase running volume to at least 4 miles.

Then press day for tomorrow with bw stuff.

Not sure of any wods but I'll probably do a push up and sit up tabata.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 28, 2019, 01:23:00 pm
Run: Strava says 4.94 miles I think but idk if the signal cut in and out on the trail but whatever.  I figured it'd be 5.5 miles.

I just tried to do a natural cadence, didn't push it and felt good, could have had a conversation the whole time.

Went back and did some push day stuff

Bench: high reps from 95lbs to 185 then back to 135
Right front delt is irritated, idk if I just need to stretch it or what.
Did some oh pressing for triples
Db chest press
Cable flyes

Then tried some bw stuff but I was taxed, maybe the run taxed me more than I thought it did.

Walked for 1.5 miles.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 28, 2019, 02:42:36 pm
So far today I'm at roughly 6.5 miles between running and walking.  Going to watch a video and run again.

Looking at idk 3.5 miles to make it 10 for the day, will do the same until Wednesday then Thursday it's supposed to rain.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 29, 2019, 10:45:05 am
5 miles: 53:10
So it should be like 10:30 something splits which ain't too bad.
3 rounds
50 air squats
9 hang power clean @135
3 kipping pull ups.

Tried another WOD but no go, snatches aren't the best movement for speedy wods like I wanted.

I did weighted sit ups.  Hold the dbs like you just untracked a barbell and sit up while keeping your arms straight so you end up in a oh press type position.  I did up to 35s.

Gonna shower and relax


So yeah the running
Same route as last time except I went further on the trail and went back down the trail instead of running up the road  to go back to town.  This definitely slowed me down considering the condition of the trail with rocks going in my shoes and avoiding water and running through mud.

Tomorrow I want a similar run except instead of the trail I will just stick to the road and run the length of the distance I did on the trail.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 30, 2019, 11:48:59 am

WOD
21-15-9
100jr before each round

Wallball
Sit up

Felt like shit today, the run felt horrible for the first half and just have 0 energy.  I've lowered my carbs a lot in hopes that I can drop some weight.

My power is out as far as ik so I'm trying to just take it easy haha
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 04, 2019, 11:57:45 am
I think for now I'll be running inside

It's way too cold outside right now, my legs couldn't get warm and my quad and lower back upper glute was aching.  My time was good for the first half but the second half my legs were so cold it was hard to get them moving.

Anyway did 3 miles

My pressing is feeling "strong" which means stronger than usual but shit for what I used to do.  But as far as running this much and lifting this is my strongest day which worries me about possible weight gain.

Triples up to 185 strict oh press
Triples up to idk 250 bench then singled 260.  My left rotator is aching but 260 felt easy and not using any legs.

Db inc. press: tried to keep it on my lats and triceps: 3x10@ 60/70/80
Db flyes up to 50s I think
Db side raise up to 45sx10
Cable work for triceps and chest
Push ups on dbs: 4x10-15

It was a pretty good day, gonna hit abs and do 2 more miles and call it a day.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 05, 2019, 10:27:08 am
Dreadmill run 3 miles: 28:30
This was more mental than anything.  I feel like I run faster splits outside and my legs don't move as fast.  It just seems like at a certain point of speed like 6.5 or more the distance doesn't go up much different than say 7.5 or 8mph.  Kinda like the bikes here where if you go above 20mph it just won't translate to doing that distance quicker.  Beats me though, I'm full of sweat and I hate treadmills.

Going to look up some wods to do.

Light DT

135LBS
5 ROUNDS
12 deadlift
9 hang power cleans
6 oh press.

15 min wod
19 wallball
19 Cal row
I used 1:15 for my row time cuz the rower doesn't do calories anymore.

Idk the rounds, maybe 7.

I have 0 energy left but I want to do 1 more WOD.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 06, 2019, 04:27:09 pm
3 mile run on dreadmill
Quite difficult to run on a treadmill and not just hop off.

Id like to play around with pacing
Ideas would be
Mile 1: 9:30 minute split
Mile 2: 8:30 minute split
Mile 3: 8:00
26 minute 3 mile
Idk I'd like eventually to get to 24 minutes.

Anyway
Did some back work and sit ups, nothing major.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 07, 2019, 11:55:09 am
30 min track jog

Cleans to 205
Grace@135
Cleans x 30
Not exactly grace but trying not to go overboard on pressing.

21-15-9
Db snatch @ 60lbs
Db cleans @ 40lbs
Time was idk 7 mins or something.  Should be a lot less but I don't have the mobility that I used to.

Bring Sally up push ups
I made it maybe not even half way lol

Gotta start doing this more cuz on my push ups my weakest part is down low.  When I was into benching n what not it used to be my strongest point.

Tomorrow I think will be an hour run, legs, abs.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 10, 2019, 02:42:27 pm
Friday was ummm
3 miles but split them up
Mile 1: I think I did 8.6 mph for 1 minute then 1 minute at 5.8

Mile 2 was same speed but .25 on 1-2 min off

Mile 3 was shit I can't remember.  Idk if mile 2 was shorter and the .25 was actually mile 3 idk.

Anyway

Did squats, rdl, db squats, hammy curls.

Tomorrow

5 mile run or 1 hour on the track
Pressing
Triceps
Push up: the bring Sally up thing
Then idk see how I feel.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 13, 2019, 11:37:41 am
1 mile run at 5.1mph on high incline, 2 miles normal at 6mph

Hammy curls
Deadlift to 300x3
Db row, bb row, db rdl, lat pulldowns, curls.it just started snowing yesterday and I put up my blackout curtains to hold in some heat but it's been making mornings rough.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 14, 2019, 04:26:39 pm
3 mile run

Yesterday i barely ate, I only wanted to eat when I was hungry and I wasn't that hungry throughout the day.

Today I paid for it.  On my run I was feeling a bit woozy and cramped up in my stomach which hasn't happened since i first got back into running.  I kinda felt like how i did when i was trying to workout after my overnight shifts like my blood pressure just crashed.

I went to do some cleans and every time i cleaned my stomach cramped up and i felt sick.  Decided to just pack it up and head home, eat quite a lot and recover haha.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 18, 2019, 11:10:04 am
Last week felt like a deload week

Today run felt like shit
3 miles: 6.1mph @2.5 inclinex 2 miles
1 mile 6.5 for half then 6.1 for half@3.5incline
It felt good and I got a good sweat but felt heavy and it felt like I had cns fatigue.  I went to bed around maybe 1 or so(had to work) and woke up at 6am and stayed up cuz I felt wide awake and if I went back to bed I would have over slept or woken up feeling shittier.

People in the weight room changing light bulbs n shit so their shit is in the way.

So what I did was
95lb barbell
4 mins on
1 min each of clean and press - f squat - rows etc random shit
1 min of then 3 on 1 off 3 on

They are in the db area so I'm in the pool room trying to do stuff.

9 min on
1 min each of burpees x 3 - wb x 3 - jr x 3

I'm done my body feels like it's a million pounds.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 18, 2019, 05:45:16 pm
So I went to letsgetchecked and ordered a full thyroid test and a testosterone test.  Basically just put blood in a lil capsule and send it off and they send it to clinics to have it tested.

Going to see if maybe my thyroid is fucked or I'm just lazy.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 19, 2019, 06:31:48 pm
30 min run
Chest day
Nothing to report really

Tomorrow will be a bodyweight type of day

So lunch was soup and I just had chicken, venison back strap and veggies.  Probably have a protein shake at night

Also, I took a risk and bought coffee flavored protein from optimum.  It's cheap on Amazon cuz people say it tastes like shit but I personally like it.  I think it tastes like a cold brew with milk and makes me not drink as much coffee.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 20, 2019, 11:34:09 am
40 min run

The treadmill is off.  I felt it skip a couple times in the beginning and I was at a 10 minute split pace.  By mile 2 it said almost 23 minutes.  It should be about .1 per minute but it was more like .7 or something.

So I just ran to 40 minutes and calling it 4 miles

Deadlift to 275x6 then 300x1 then 315x5
Only thing that failed was grip.

Then lat pulldowns seated and standing
Curls for girls
Hammy curls

Gonna see if the pool area is unlocked
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 21, 2019, 10:37:49 am

Gonna do a front rack hold each day for now on as a warm up to get my wrists good again.

I'm thinking one more wod
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 24, 2019, 11:51:46 am
Friday I walked and did legs
Today I ran for 20 minutes.  About 38 degrees out and got pretty cold haha

Post by: John Stamos on November 26, 2019, 10:20:00 am
I fucked up

Took some green tea, a men's one a day and apple cider vinegar pill like usual but usually I take them later in the day.  Ran for 2 mins and hauled ass downstairs to puke.  Puked up one pill

Just ran 16 more minutes and felt better but still shitty.  Going to just try to do the lifting
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 26, 2019, 12:55:42 pm
I did the run and the first set of exercises

I finished the 2nd round of deadlifts and started getting a sick feeling again and first time I puked out the men's 1 a day pill and this time might have been the green tea haha

I still felt like I did a bit of work

Tomorrow no pills
I want to run, do back work and Oly lifting and finish the WOD.

Gotta move my equipment to the basement before we get real snow.

Also have an interview next week, so depending on the schedule if I get that job my workouts will be different and possibly just buy shit and workout in the basement.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 28, 2019, 03:44:14 am
I can't sleep for shit

Woke up yesterday with a big headache and everything ached.  The night before I was extremely hot and felt like garbage.  I think the workout with all the deadlifts did work on my upperback and neck so I have a lot of knots and shit causing my headaches.

Anyway got my testosterone test done
522 ng/dl which is avg or a lil higher on the average side for 30+
Waiting on my thyroid test to come back, had to send it to London so might take awhile.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on November 30, 2019, 12:17:12 pm
Ran 4 miles
Went from 1 incline@5.5mph x 3 mins
Then same speed but increased the incline overtime from 1 to 4.5 for the first 3 miles then I did a 6mph 1 mile run at 1 incline for the last mile.

Cleans: 185x3
195x5x2
So I changed my form and it made a dramatic difference.  Normally I'd set up like a deadlift so elbows right align with my knees behind the bar.  Now I have my knees over the bar and shoulders slightly over.  Doing this made me feel like I was more centered when I got the bb to my hips.  Then instead of really exaggerating the hip and upperbody with the last part of the extension I stayed more upright which kept the bb closer to my body for the catch.

Anyway I did strain my back and neck earlier in the week that's why I haven't done anything and it's better now.  I'd really like to get into focusing on Oly lifting more though so I might look up a program and then keep the running the same and all that just more Oly lifts minus snatches.  If I had bumpers and a good gym to do then then I would but now I'd like a place where I can confidently dump the weight of need be.

After that I did some dead hangs for grip

Gym is now open on Sundays so I'll go every day.

Post by: John Stamos on December 02, 2019, 01:52:20 pm
Yesterday I ran 4 miles and benched.  When I left my house I could see grass, by the end if my run we had like 3 inches of snow and I didn't have my winter tires on.  So I left after the bench. 

Today
 Ran 20 minutes but still over 2 miles
It was so cold in there that I kept getting dry mouth which ruined it.

I did some oh pressing, db shoulder work and tricep

Pool area
50 JR
10-1
Wb
Burpees
The jr were before each set

My buddy I was working out with is back for the winter so I wanna try more partner wods and what not.

I'll try to plan out something for tomorrow
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 03, 2019, 10:28:18 am
The treadmill is definitely fucked.  It was skipping and it won't incline

Yesterday I did like 6mph first half mile then 7 or so for the rest and did 1.45 in 13 minutes

Today I did 6mph for half mile then 7 for a quarter, 7.2 for a quarter 7.6 quarter and 8 for the last and literally went .05 faster.  Id assume I should be way faster which makes me think this thing is off

Ran 3 miles

Deadlift to 345x1 and 315 before that was like 5 reps

Cleans: no straps or belt just liquid chalk up to 235x1
New PR since like 2015 but that was with straps.
I feel confident and once I get my deadlift back comfortably to 400s or 500 I wonder if I can get a 300lb clean.

Either way the change in form has helped a lot.

Now db work with hammy curls

So I should say that this is all power cleans.  The 235 my body basically was forced to squat a bit to get it and it was ugly.  I tried 245 but that would have to be an actual clean.

squats help power cleans more than deadlifts do

When I powercleaned 245lbs I could squat 385

for a 300lb powerclean you would need about a 475lb squat :)

Pull ups I did 15 lol
All kipping.  I did a set of 2 and definitely was too heavy, my lats feel shitty so I did singles.

My thyroid test came back
My levels are normal but some are low normal and some are high normal.

My ths or tsh levels are high.  The thyroid hormone stimulation or whatever.  I saw some levels for normal are .4 to 4.  This one says .25 to 4.2.  mine is at 4.3

Going to run n shit tomorrow.  Today I just went to work so no running but I still got a lot of steps in

This diet suuucks but oh well

Idk if tomorrow is just cardio or wods or what, I gotta see how my lats are after my kipping pullups felt like my arms were just going to rip off and stay attached to the pullup bar
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 09, 2019, 10:51:30 am
This WOD is going to be bad

5 rounds
5 cleans
10 snatches
15 push ups

4 rounds
8 oh press
15 thrusters

3 rounds
15 box jump
15 air squat

2 rounds
20 lunges
30 wallball

1 round 50 burpees
39:15

Just got done running 30 minutes

It wasn't a rough WOD until the 2 rounds and then the burpees.

I did decent on burpees until halfway then I'd feel sick after doing 5 at a time.

Gonna sick in the pool area where it feels like a sauna now and then head out. 

Tomorrow will be a back and Olympic day with 20 mins of running just to get a warm up in that won't impact my deads and cleans.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 09, 2019, 12:20:13 pm
Also weight wise before I changed the diet I somehow was at 267 and today I'm 263 so back to normal.  But I am drinking a lot more water to the point where I feel a bit bloated and waterlogged.  I also feel hungry more even though I've been increasing my food intake so hopefully all good signs.

Also the douche that keeps turning me down for the apprenticeship at work is leaving so hopefully the new guy won't be a douche.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2019, 02:23:56 pm
Deadlift
Up to 335x3 double overhand no straps

Cleans up to 225 for 4 singles
185 for touch n go for 5

Knee felt wonky from 1 of the cleans
With that in mind I think I might work with 215 for awhile and just do 1 rep of 225

Did lunges around the track, some shoulder work and dead hangs

Pretty good day, the cleans are nice now that 225 feels decent.  I just need a better pull since I'm trying to stick with power cleans.

Also my dead hangs were 30 seconds but I had a 40lb dumbbell in my feet.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 11, 2019, 10:58:45 am
Stretch

No run yet, my buddy wants to do a run workout

3 rounds
30 bb only thrusters
15 snatches
Every minute I had to stop and do 3 burpees
The snatch was like 85 the first round then 65 the second.  My shoulders are absolutely shot.  I had almost no power for burpees.

Finished at 11:48

Possibly do bench and farmers walk
So 185 x 5
Then carry for a 10 min AMRAP.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 16, 2019, 08:38:38 am
Nothing from last Thursday to Saturday, had to watch my sister's house and she didn't leave me keys or anything so I could lock up and leave.

Sunday I ran 30 minutes and did dead hangs.  Just wanted to run but figured I'll do some grip work.

Dead hang at bw for idk 25 seconds
40lb db for like 20 seconds
50lb db for around that
Then 70 I think and ended with 80 for like 10 seconds.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 16, 2019, 01:14:17 pm
10 min jog then old people went on the track.  40 min walk talking to a friend I see once a year.  Hell walk and do abs and that's it.

Deadlift to 335x3 no straps
I guess it ain't bad considering I did grip shit yesterday

Cleans to 225
Dropped to 195 x 5
Then did 1 for 1s to 50 with my friend
So I cleaned 135 once then he did one and we switched back and forth to 50

4 rounds
.25 run
6 box jumps
6 oh press @135
6 burpees
6 front squats
Goal was 15 mins but got 16 flat or a lil quicker.

I thought it'd be super easy but I forgot how much it sucks to have a run involved with a WOD.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 17, 2019, 12:22:50 pm
Run 30 mins

Bench to 245(;front delt is iffy)
Oh push press to 215

30 db thruster
.25 run

20..
20..
.25 run
10..
10..
10..
.25 run

Took  29 minutes but my shoulders were shot and I feel a bit drained from yesterday.

Mirror test. 

Before I dropped drinks with artificial sweeteners I had a gut
Still do but this morning I had a more noticeable outline of where my abs should be.

Not sure about my weight, if it's gone down then I'll say so if not then no point in putting it on here.

But I do feel better, I have more energy especially in the morning.  I used to draaaaaag ass in the morning and my workouts I don't feel exhausted halfway through anymore.

I wanna give it 6 months and I'll retest my thyroid again.

Yesterday nothing, Netflix recommended a new docuseries and I got drawn in

It's called Don't fuck with cats

so in 2010 I think a guy was posting videos of him killing cats online and people on fb were pissed and formed a group to look at the videos to find clues to find the guy.  Well the guy ended up joining the group and taunting them and left clues in his videos.

So he eventually graduates to filming himself killing someone which brings in the police and they chase him around europe etc etc. 

SO yeah the people who tracked him down just go through the whole thing and it was super weird but still interesting.

ANyway

Today we did

f squats to 225 for a single

True true.  He's super weird too, he acted like hmm the easiest way I can put it is the Psych episode where Shawn gets Gus into a fashion party for his birthday and the owner gets murdered.  But he acted like the male models in that which were waaaay overboard what I'd imagine a male model acting like.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 23, 2019, 10:44:01 am
Ran 30 mins
Cns feels fatigued

Deadlifts felt fine to 345x3 double overhand
225 felt heavy though so I knew I wasn't near 100%

Plan was to clean 205 for triples EMOM
Nope lol
Had to drop to 185
Only did 5 mins cuz I'm just pooped

Gonna figure out some wods to do

4 rounds
Jog in place x 2 mins
6 wb
6 burpees
6 reverse lunges
6 push ups

I like this workout, more with running but there's people on the track.  But if you use the right exercises it's fast paced and difficult.  This one was enough to get my heart rate going a bit but not go way overboard.

I might do that 16 minute AMRAP of lunges and air squats and a 200m run.

I didn't count the rounds but maybe 5 and then the run on round 6 or something

Dead hangs @80lbs for 2 sets then a bw one.

Just did the 30 min EMOM.  Need to rest a bit lol
It's so hot in here that I couldn't catch my breath so the last 8 mins I just did burpees.  Also at the 22 min mark had to go outside for a minute to cool down.

Gonna do the squat push up workout now.

Yesterday was active recovery

Today

30 min jog
Warm up
I forgot what they are called but stand up bend over put your hands on the floor, walk out your hands to a push up then walk your hands back to standing position.

Then tested out a core warm up I saw when Magnus Mitbo went to do gymnastic stuff

If you look up the video it's like Magnus Mitbo learns iron cross etc.

Bunch of planks n shit

Squat warm up to 225 then
225x20
205x15ish
185x10
165x10
145x10
135x10

Then a stupid WOD
I left early lol. I had already been there about 2 hours cuz my buddy can never get there on time.

I think we did more but whatever.  We try to figure out wods and I'll come up with one on the top of my head but hell sit there and fart fuck around looking at them.  So I might get there early and run, do wods n shit so if we get to the point of just standing around then I'll just leave
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 30, 2019, 05:11:54 pm
Going to plan out my workouts for tomorrow and the next day so I am not left there looking at wods for a half hour with my buddy

anyway tomorrow working out alone

Mostly got a pump
Did 1 round of the burpee and lunges
Hit strict oh press at 215

I forgot today is new years Eve which for whatever reason means the gym needs to close early.  Tomorrow the gym is closed because I guess the 80 year olds that work the front desk are getting shit faced tonight.

Anyway feeling and looking leaner, might weigh myself today or just wait til Thursday since hopefully that scale is accurate.

Had cereal for breakfast and probably just do a protein shake for my last 2 meals just to not be a fat ass
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 05, 2020, 02:17:25 pm
I've been sick since Thursday so I've taken since then off.  I have training on Monday so I needed to get better asap.

I feel like if I workout when I'm sick then I'm sick for longer and if I don't really eat I don't get better.  So I barely moved and ate a lot and now I am pretty much over it.  Tomorrow I'll go hard and get back after it.

My plan is
Run
Then the 50-40... With running workout I posted a few posts ago.

Then do like an hour with my buddy and head out
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 07, 2020, 12:47:26 pm
Today
Stretch
Ab warm up

Deadlift
Triples to 335
Single at 365

Cleans
1 for 1
So 1 person does 1 rep the other person does 1 rep
@155
This was slow so we changed it to 5
I think around 15 I did 165
Then the last 5 was 185

Then
15 mins back and forth
5 thrusters
5 pull ups
5 push ups

Shits getting annoying, we will do the main lifts then a WOD but he wants to look at his fucking Pinterest for an hour figuring out a fucking WOD.  So today I said fuck you're Pinterest we are doing this because I'm not staying here for 2 hours anymore
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 08, 2020, 12:17:12 pm
Today was interesting.

Buddy said 9:30 we can warm up and hit the workout.  Got to the gym at 9:30 and said I'll wait a bit since he was bringing bumpers.  About 9:55 I was like well I'm going inside fuck this.  Started the workout and he finally showed up at 10:15.  Then he got mad and basically was like well I can come in and do my own thing, I said great so my workouts will be different from now on.

Today

Fatal 40 which is a lame WOD.  It's just a stupid workout, I hate wods that have a bunch of random exercises since it's annoying to keep looking.

So yeah just look it up on Google if you care, I did 200m runs instead and switched a few things.

Then I climbed the empire State building. I did like 103 floors I believe and that was rough but good. 

I bought blank playing cards so I can write workouts on them and when I'm done with the main stuff I just draw a card and do it.

Tomorrow
Run
Stretch
Abs

Push day with a WOD.  I am thinking Karen which is 150 wb shots.
Then maybe do burpees for 7 mins
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 08, 2020, 12:55:42 pm
Thinking about structure of my program

Run
Stretch
Core work

Then I think I want to do this
1 heavy lower body day
1 dynamic lower body day
Same for upper body.
I will do deadlifts on my upper body days and cleans on my lower body days.

So main lifts
Mon: Bench, oh press ME
Deadlifts: DE

Tuesday: DE squats
Cleans: ME

Wednesday: cf day

Thursday: DE upper body
ME deadlifts

Friday: ME lower body
DE cleans

I will try a different exercise for each one so I'm not just doing strict oh press for everything.  Also de could be high rep days.

I feel like at a point I need to work on speed to help with cleans.

Also I'll do the running n core work and wods each day too.

Weekend workouts are active recovery and bodybuilding.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 09, 2020, 08:10:44 pm
Nothing today, letting my IT Band rest.  Will run tomorrow, see how I feel after 20 mins then maybe a run walk.  I haven't ran long distance in quite some time so I'm sure I'll be shit.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 10, 2020, 12:03:13 pm
Run 30 minutes
Super shitty and slow
Just going to keep a 30 min base and when it gets nice out again I'll try to set a goal like a half marathon like last summer that I never did haha.

Then stretch and foam roll

30-20-10
Jump rope x 100 before each set
Wallball
Burpees
Air squat

Simple but effective workout.  I have a massage on next Friday so I will start my new workout on Sunday.  I will be looking into buying new bands for speed work, my green ones are fine for squats but I wanna look into shorter bands for deadlifts.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 12, 2020, 10:06:34 am
Letting my it band rest for another day.  I'm just going to go super early on Friday before my massage.

Right now buying groceries so will get a bit of walking done.  I am tempted to buy a treadmill but idk quite yet.  I'd mainly want it to walk at night but even so the ones at the gym all jerk when you run on them. 
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

I am going to set my alarm and try to get to the gym by 8am so I will feel like garbage.

Also, today my core and stretching
Each for 15 seconds
So get on one knee with the other foot out at a 90 degree angle and push hips forward, then I put both hands down next to the inside of my foot then I move my hands to the outside and work my way back in and switch.

Then core work was just trying to do max times for each one for like 2 or 3 times.

Taking today off too, my leg feels good so I want the extra day of rest plus work will serve as an active recovery.  Based on the s health app I've been getting around 6k steps at work and a lot of it is stairs that has idk 20 steps.  I'd say on average I go up and down them 20 times per shift and that might be conservative.

I'll follow the program for the rest of the week except my direct leg stuff will be light work and a lot of stretching.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 22, 2020, 12:56:10 pm
I did things backwards today and it worked out much better.

Deadlift: 5x5@315
First set was TNG and thought that was stupid so the last 4 sets was more like singles like how it should be haha
Bench: Red bands+ 155(175 didnt feel like speed work last time) for 8x2
OH press was just working high reps then some reps with 185

Side raise 3x10
lat pulldowns: heavy and a lot of sets and reps
plyo push ups for 3 sets

fat grip db holds to 70lb

20 minute run
stretching and core work

also the deadlift was with my back brace and liquid chalk

the back brace still feels like it gives support and doesnt get in the way like a thick belt which i cannot stand.  also if you need it for oly lifts they are pretty good too cuz the barbell doesnt get caught.  I figured id give it a try cuz i see strongmen use a back brace underneath their belts.

when im done with training ill throw cf workouts back in, maybe this time off will be good...plus when i was heavily into cf workouts i never got in better shape really, my best shape ever was powerlifting and bb
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 22, 2020, 07:05:30 pm
DE squats and me cleans tomorrow

Squats: 8x2@155+ green bands
Rdl to 225x3x10
Then some stuff idk I'm tired.

I didn't do cleans cuz my back is wrecked after yesterday.  I'll go with how I feel tomorrow since doms might kick in bad

This wknd ill see how I feel, might do a run after work, have to go in on day shift for annual training shit.

I lied, I forgot that the ranch came out today so I binged watched it.  I don't have another day off for like 10 days or so, figured I'd get it out of the way.

I have ideas for the weekend but beats me.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 27, 2020, 12:28:52 pm
Sunday I ran for 30 minutes and did 22 mins on the stepper

The gym got a new SS Bar, and a multi grip pressing bar.  I guess they are getting more KBs and some wallballs.

So I tested some of those out

deadlift 225x8x2
Did a set of 135 or 145 ss bar squats between.  Not sure how much it weighs.
Bench to 225x3 on the multi grip bar, much harder than a regular bar.

Ran 30 mins

While I am training at work this week and next week I'm going to just do main lifts and cardio and have Friday be a bodybuilding day and more cardio on the weekends.

I ended with some core stuff and stretching
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 28, 2020, 02:26:40 pm
I'm switching each day between a run and the stairmaster

Today was 20 mins on the stairmaster, like 1550 to 1600 steps

Killed my legs

DE squats: red bands + 185 for 8x2
Me cleans: 225x3x1
Lat pulldowns: 3x10 with 2 different handles
Core work
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 29, 2020, 02:42:11 pm
Nothing, woke up feeling shitty

Definitely dehydrated though so I'll take in more fluids

Tomorrow is
DE upperbody
Me deadlifts
Grip work

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 30, 2020, 11:15:49 am
Deadlift
315x1
335x3

Tried to run but my calf felt strained.  It wasn't too bad but I don't want to push it.

Tomorrow will be stepper
Core work
Ss bar
Me cleans
Some back work and leg work

Also did ss bar good mornings.  Just did a light set of 130lbs.  The bar weighs 60lbs so that's ones reason why the 135 felt heavier..cuz it was 150 lol.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 02, 2020, 07:56:30 am
I've been planning on doing a 24 hour fast but couldn't cuz not eating sucks.  Anyway I did one yesterday.  I ate Friday at about 1130, woke up at 3am with a bug that kicked my ass and had nothing but water until about 7:30 this morning, i had a bowl of cereal and coffee.

Strained my neck while puking so just a constant headache.

I'll see how I feel, I am thinking on the safe side I'll skip Monday since I have my last week of training and I just want to get through it.


Also, I am trying for a new job.  It is 10hr shifts but it's like 2 on 3 off 3 on 2 off or some shit like that.  On my days on I'll do just a quick like burpees workout and normal workout days for my days off if I get it.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 04, 2020, 10:39:28 am
I'm in no rush to get back to the gym.  Right now I'm probably fine to go but I'm just going to get my eating in order.

Yesterday was some waffles and then a banana at night which definitely isn't enough.

Today gonna increase it to 1 bowl of cereal, gonna have a mega bowl for lunch and some pbj sammiches for dinner.  I was planning on shipping this weekend but that didn't happen.

At work I still hit my steps around 6-8k steps so I'm still moving around.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 10, 2020, 10:41:20 am
Gonna get back to the gym tomorrow.

This week will just be easy work to get back into it.

So tomorrow will be
Run
Push
Bench-db oh press - triceps - lat pulldown
Just 2 or 3 sets of each, nothing major.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 11, 2020, 02:26:35 pm
Had a few things come up this morning, will do the work outs on Wednesday, Thursday, maybe Friday if not then Saturday and Sunday will be the start of the normal programming again
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 12, 2020, 11:26:58 am
10 min jog
1.04 miles

Bench: 225x3x3
Oh strict press: 155x5 then drop sets
Ss bar squat: worked to 200lbs testing out my IT Band.  Leg felt good.

Lat pulldown 3x10
Tricep pushdowns: 3x10 for rope and Vbar

1 handed bb grip holds
Worked to 185 for like 5 seconds

Tomorrow will be stepper for as long as I can and wallballs.

Also weight is 259
From my sickness I went down minimum 9lbs.  I think I would have been about 15lbs down at most. 

Eating is back to normal though so I'll take 259 for now. 

My goal is to last an hour on the stairmaster.  Tomorrow I wanna just shoot for 30 minutes.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 14, 2020, 05:34:28 pm
Half hour on the stairmaster
I think it was around 120 floors or more

Then deadlifted to 315 for a single, felt weak since I've been out for like a week and a half or two weeks.

Gonna hit a normal bb workout tomorrow and Sunday and get back onto the program.

what do you do to keep sane on the stairmaster? running on the treadmill makes me want to stab myself after about 20 minutes. i'm okay again after 40 minutes but that 20-minute stretch in between is crazy-making.

Haha yeah the stairmaster is worse than the treadmill for me.  On the stairmaster it's just boring but my quads are constantly burning.  I mostly just listen to podcasts and put a towel on the screen to cover up the time and all that.  I can't wait for winter to end so I can run outside again.

Today was nothing, on my way to work my power steering was making noises and then eventually and low speeds it was out and even at 60 it worked but barely.  Had to muscle my way to Napa to buy some more fluid and had to get all of the air out of the system.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 16, 2020, 03:19:45 pm
20 min jog.

Felt slow but only thing that stopped me at 20 minutes was the insides of my feet started to feel raw like they were going to blister.

Did 100 wb
So we have a new wallball which is an actual wallball.  It's probably 4x the size of the slamball I've been using but still the same weight.  This one is actually harder and immediately burned my shoulders, biceps and chest.

Bike for 10 minutes

Bout it, gonna do some stuff later.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 17, 2020, 02:14:18 pm
20 min stairmaster
About 100 floors

DE Deadlift: 8x2@225
Bench: up to 245x2x2
Oh press: up to 185x2

Then some accessory work.  Had to go to Walmart afterwards and kept it short
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 19, 2020, 09:00:43 pm
Nothing today, woke up late and I thought my power steering pump just had air in the system but I noticed a leak so had to take it to the garage for them to find out where it is.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 20, 2020, 06:10:55 pm
20 minute jog

Deadlift: to 315x4 I think
Oh press to 185x3 reps then 2 reps
Chest press: incline up to 100lb dbs for a set of 10
Db shoulder stuff, tricep and bicep stuff, lat pulldowns.

Tomorrow I have to take my car to the garage and get a hair cut sometime so not too sure when I'll workout.  If not then I'll be there Saturday morning
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 21, 2020, 09:54:36 pm
20 min jog

Squat with green bands
Front squat from 95lbs to 215 or 225
Then back squat to 275
All doubles.

Seems like around the 275 with green band weight is when i start feeling it in my IT Band.  I'm trying not to push it and hopefully let it heal more.  Previously I'd feel it on bw squats alone.

Did ss bar good mornings
Just doubles and triples to 155 i think.  I like the ss bar more than straight bar but cambered is still king for good mornings in my opinion.  I feel like the position you can get in on a cambered bar is more natural and the weight is distributed more evenly so it's not putting you in a position where it's mostly all lower back or something. When we had a cambered bar I'd feel it all on my pchain.

Anyway that was it, i have a interview on Monday and I needed my hair cut.  My hairdresser had issues with her dog and she cancelled yesterday so I made an appointment today with just anyone and she cancelled again but they didn't tell me until I got there so I was cruising around and waiting for a solid few hours before i found a place where people were working.

Anyway tomorrow is some cardio, stretching, and bb stuff, basically full body to hit stuff I didnt hit during the week.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 25, 2020, 06:42:57 pm
DE deadlift: 8x2@255
Bench: 225x3x3 or was it 255, idk it just felt shitty and I had shoulder pain.  It's constant so not sure if it's like arthritis or some shit since I've had 2 shoulder injuries and I never went to the doctor for my torn rotator.  Or something else idk I'm not a doctor.
Oh strict press to 165x3 then push press for 2x3@185 then a single at 205

Then tricep work with cables and db, incline db press, kb swing etc normal accessory work

Also did 20 minutes on the stairmaster.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 29, 2020, 05:06:10 pm
Did other stuff idk nothing exciting, might take it easy on leg days, my it band is fucked again so idk if it's the squats or the stairmaster or both.

Anyway my 2 weeks of just getting it going again is done and time to hit it hard now.

I am supposed to find out about the job next week or the week after.  I think they want to start the new people mid March.  When that happens since it's a lot of forklift work I want a treadmill but a echo bike would be nice too.  Chances are it'd be a treadmill.

Ran 30 minutes and walked 30 minutes.  It's nice out finally so I didn't want to be stuck inside.  Going to do some basement stuff, not exactly sure what yet idk what I have down there.  Probably sandbag cleans n what not.

I've just been walking and stuff.  The school is going to be closed so the gym will be too.  I've been avoiding it anyway just because people on a normal day won't wash the machines and stuff and normally in winter they'll cough all over shit. 

Weather is warming up though so I'll do stuff outside.  I should be hearing about the job this week so if I get it I have 2x150lb kbs in my shopping cart.  Figured they'd be good for rdl, farmers carry, front squats

Today just gonna run and do random shit.  I got my wheelbarrow out so I'll load it up with weight.  I also have to work on my car which will be a workout of its own.

I am so sick of this shit
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 06, 2020, 11:05:53 am
Looks like it's warming up.

Today is idk around 50 degrees by the time I'll go out.

Warm up
5 rounds
Jump rope x 1 minute
5 burpees
20 alternating rdl(no weights)
5 each arm kb press(try to hold on upside down)


Run down the road
I forgot the exact distance, ik going down say I take a right out of my driveway that's 1.85 or 1.9 miles, if I go left to the start of the hill and back that portion is maybe a mile.
I can do the strava to find out, I am incredibly out of shape though so I'm not looking to break records.

Anyway
Road run: 2.5-.8miles or whatever
50 burpees
100 push ups
150 kb swings
200 squats
250 second kb hold
300 jj

Run

Ik ambitious but fuck it, don't have anything else to do.

Also I'll break it up into 10 sets so
5 burpees
10 push ups
15 kb swing
20 squats
Do the kb hold, actually I'll do a minute each round
30 jj
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 06, 2020, 05:25:28 pm
The warm up alone had my hamstrings working.  It's that shitty feeling you get when you haven't worked legs in a long time.

Anyway

Did the run and from my starting point, down my driveway then the full length of the road I usually run and back down my driveway was 2.9 miles so I had to run down my driveway a bit to get it to 3 miles

This had me shot

Then tabata, 21 sets total of 20 seconds so I'd hit each movement 7 times

Push ups - squats - kb deadlift.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 12, 2020, 09:54:25 pm
Weather has been shit, did a quick workout yesterday but it was in the 30s.

Tomorrow is gonna be in the 60s.
Going to use it to my advantage and just keep running until I hit 5 miles. or 6 miles fuck it.

Then I'll do shit outside.

I'm like 99.9 percent the way there to ordering a fucking exergenie.  I have a few places to hook it up so yeah I'm at that point.

Anyway just bought the movie The Fittest.  It's about the 2019 CrossFit games and uggh my clean has to be garbage right now.  Anyway I'll watch it to get pumped for tomorrow and do a review on it.  I'm also looking for a spot to load the 200lb sandbag onto so I can do that.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 12, 2020, 11:50:44 pm
The Fittest.

I'm still watching it but they are on Sunday so I got the jist of it.

It is a lot better than I thought it would be.  The two guys from the CrossFit production team that got fired started a YouTube channel and made this.  To me, they are extremely Annoying, idk if it's a schtick or something but they are 30s or later trying to act early 20s or younger.

With that aside they aren't personally in it a lot which is a big bonus.  The parts with Noah Olsen are annoying too me because I just can't stand him, he's annoying.

The production value is good and since it's not a CrossFit movie as far as the company being behind it, you get some honest answers about the format with the cuts and all that which most of the people didn't like.

Idk you get what you expect and I remember watching it live and I focused more on teams because teams was more exciting than individuals.  Idk we are all fucked right now so it's a good time waster.

Did 2 full sled pulls
5 sandbag cleans
Oh db press 50lbs x10
1 down and back sandbag carry at 100lbs

Idk 4 or 5 rounds

The sandbag carries are hard especially when I had it up on my chest.

Finally a nice day

Yesterday I walked a few miles.

Today just doing my normal morning business and getting out to the trail that I usually run on.

It shows around noon that it'll start raining so I might just run  like 45 minutes out then turn around or something idk I just wanna make use of the full 2 hours or so.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 19, 2020, 12:22:53 pm
I went an hour out and an hour back.  Idk how far it is, I'll get on my laptop and use strava cuz on that you can map out a specific route and I can do it for the trail.  The last 3 miles I walked because my calf kept cramping and thighs were just raw.

I ran for 5 miles and walked 3.  Strava is telling me one way was 4 miles so yeah most I've done in months haha
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on April 22, 2020, 11:01:45 am
12 min stepper

Noticed a 3ft long snake skin in the basement, kinda freaked me out.

Went outside, it snowed last night and yeah it would have been fine if it wasn't windy.

Anyway did trap bar deadlift.  I think 195lbs or so.  I didn't feel like grabbing more weights because I was freezing my ass off so I did 3x10.

Yeah in NY we don't really have big snakes, usually just garders but rarely there's a rattler somewhere supposedly idk. I just can't stand snakes in general, I like watching them in videos and the movie anaconda is a guilty pleasure haha.

Well today I think I'll do more deadlifting and sandbag carries.  I'm hoping my foot gaiters come in today so I can run on the trail tomorrow.  I'll run either way but I'm sick of rocks getting in my shoes.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Deadlift: up to 282lbs lol. The trap bar weighs like 52 pounds.

I did 3x10 and it felt much much easier than pre virus.  Idk if I just needed a lot of rest or what. Usually trap bar isn't much different from straight bar.

Then some kettlebell shit.

Post by: John Stamos on May 03, 2020, 12:19:14 pm
Run: 1.9 mile road run
Umm my old best was like high 14s but this was like 18 mins lol. So horrible, but my quads and hip flexors were tight as shit.

Deadlift: up to 282 for a set of 5 then I noticed my kb handles would slide onto the ends. 
342x2x1
It wasn't bad but I didn't want to push it since I've been lazy during the covid so it wouldn't be smart.

12-1400 foot farmers carry with trap bar with 142.

Gonna relax a bit and go back out later for another run maybe a mile then some sort of wod
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 14, 2020, 08:29:44 am
Gonna run n shit today, lately it's been 30s to 40s and it's snowed a few times so haven't gotten out to do shit except maybe deadlift n what not a few times.

We are finally getting a heat wave where a few days will storm and rain but mostly it'll be 60s to mid 70s throughout the week.

Plan today is to run down the road and back
Deadlift up to 342 then drop set.
Sandbag carry 100lbs x 3 trips
Db oh press 50x3x10
Push ups 3x20
Run down the road again

If I'm not dead then some battle ropes
I got an email from the gym and they don't have a clue when they'll be open and I've emailed the county asking about parks.  If so they have a good spot for wall balls n shit.

As I was typing it, I got emailed back and the county doesn't know so honestly, fuck it, I'll just go.  Worst case scenario is some mask Nazi rats on me and a cop tells me to leave.

Post by: John Stamos on May 14, 2020, 02:16:12 pm
Walked at the park.  Just a nice long walk.   Also cleaning out old electronics n shit that I've been hoarding.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 15, 2020, 01:55:20 pm
God I'm so out of shape.

Anyway temp hit 75ish which in NY feels like 90.

I "ran" 2 miles but every 3 minutes I did 5 burpees.  After the second lap I just died, my hips n legs felt super heavy.  I felt like my speed walk was faster than my jog haha.  Anyway I did that and probably did 12 rounds of burpees then I walked a half mile while doing the burpees.

It's a good starting point though.

I think my initial 2 miles was like 30 minutes but there was another person on the track and some of the rounds woulda ended with me in front of her so I just walked around those times to do the burpees behind her then I could run around her.

It's looking like it'll be warm for next week minus a few rainy days.  I'll be bringing my wallball n shit next time.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 17, 2020, 03:09:06 am
Checked the weather and hopefully it won't rain until later in the day.

Plan will be
Jog 4 laps
4 mins of WB
4 mins rotating between
3 burpees and 10 air squat
Jog 3 laps
3 mins of WB
3 mins of the burpees and air squat
2 laps
2....
1 lap
1 minute.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 17, 2020, 12:27:34 pm
Did that minus the burpees and air squats.

Since I haven't done leg work my legs immediately cramped.

But I walked 1 before and after so 12 laps.  It recorded my first 4 laps only and it said 1.1 miles.  I remember measuring the distance of the lengths(track is a square).  I think each were 5 or 10 meters extra.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 22, 2020, 08:28:21 pm
Moved my weights around so they are closer to where I workout.

Then just deadlifted and did random sand bags shit

Deadlifts up to who knows
The weight total was 342
Then I wrapped my rope around the trap bar, I saw weight anywhere from 30-50lbs so idk let's just say 35lbs
So that'd be 377
Then I connected a 50lb dumbbell wrapped up in the rope.
So total around 427lbs.

The 427 was single and the other ones were triples to 5s.

I'm trying to find weights but idk what's going on.  Rogue is either out of stock or not selling barbells or weights.  I can get a log but I'd prefer a barbell since I can do more with it.

Idk I'll figure something out, who the hell knows when gyms will open back up.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 27, 2020, 09:13:06 am
Walked yesterday

Walked today for 35 minutes
I ran a mile then walked, I'm so tight everywhere that running feels shitty. 

Anyway I cut it at 35 cuz the restrooms were locked up because uk us NY folk iz 2 stewped 2 warsh hour handz.

Going to workout around noon then walk again later today when it cools down.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 29, 2020, 08:04:34 am
Walked yesterday

Today

Going to stretch, warm up lap and figure out what I want to do as far as rounds n what not.

I'd like to do something like
1 hour amrap
Every lap I do 5 push ups and 10 air squats

Also noticed some jobs popping up in Florida and I'm pretty tempted
I noticed the pay was less but the cost of living is 43 percent less and the pay is like 21 percent less which means I'd come out on top.  33k in Florida is 60k in NY which is nuts to me.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 29, 2020, 09:45:37 am
Im not sure how far I went but I did 40 minutes worth then walked 20 mins.

The track is more than 400m, when I do a mile it comes up around 3.5 laps in.  I'd say around 3 miles if I had to guess.

Also I did 10 push ups and 10 squats each lap.

Nooner 2 mile walk

Going to workout later and test out my new Bluetooth essentially boom box, I think it's too big just to be called a speaker.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 30, 2020, 07:38:07 pm
Been raining

Gonna see what it's like tomorrow and do some shit.

Its looking like I'll be getting a new job, nepotism for the win haha.  I think I'd also get a deal on cement so I think it's about time to build a garage.

Also this company has 3 different locations in Florida and a few other states I'll be looking into.

Finally a nice day.

Ran 2 miles then walked the rest of the time for an hour or more.

Going to do another workout in a bit.

I'm thinking the fat man version of Murph.

Definitely need to stretch because everything is just super tight.

Stretched and felt a lot better.

1 mile jog
Then 100-200-300
Push ups - squat - jumping jax
Then honestly I was super hot and skipped the mile, I'll relax and walk it later

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 06, 2020, 11:22:49 am
Ran 3 miles
Every lap I did 10 push ups and 10 squats.
Walked for 20 mins afterwards.

Not focused on speed just stretching n running slow just to get back to a point where I don't have pains in my hips n what not after 10 mins or so and today felt good.

Going to jog later maybe a mile and do deadlifts n what not.


Also, got to talk to actual people today, got my haircut by my sexy hairdresser.  If the gyms open up soon then I'll be a happy camper.  I want restaurants to fully open because I don't want to see businesses destroyed but I don't go out to restaurants unless it's for takeout cuz I can't stand eating in one.  Kinda the same way I feel about movie theaters, want them to be open for jobs, can't stand being in one.  People are annoying and gross.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 10, 2020, 10:21:33 am
Ran a few days ago and I did like .8 then walked .2 for the warm up.  Then ran a mile in like 9.53 or something.  Super slow but better than when I usually get back into it.

I walked today also for 58 mins or something and did 3 miles.  Going to lift later since its looking like the next few days are going to look shitty
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Post by: John Stamos on June 17, 2020, 04:37:21 pm
I walked and jogged.  I was supposed to do a phone interview but I guess the hr chick didn't show up for work lol. Once enough time went by I said fuck it and ran for like 35 minutes.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 22, 2020, 11:12:31 am
Walked then ran and did push ups and skwaats between laps for a mile then walked.

The gym is supposed to open in 4 days thank fucking god as long as dip shit doesn't delay phase 4.

When I go back I may be back to an old job, so I'll be doing 12 hour days Wednesday - Friday then weekends and bud.

But I am also talking to someone about NTTS today.  Anyway if I do that then I'll workout Mon, Tuesday, Friday after work, Saturday and Sunday the gym is closed so I'll probably do a rest day since this job is super physical.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 25, 2020, 11:10:04 am
Well ran 3 miles and walked the rest of the hour.

The gyms are getting postponed so I have a buddy I'm trying to get in touch with to see if he wants to workout at his place.

Post by: John Stamos on July 02, 2020, 03:12:56 pm
Sick of waiting for Cuomo.   I ordered the varikas or whatever bar from elitefts.  I think it is just the multi bar that's blue.  I don't have 10s or anything so I'd focus on cleans, front squats and oh press, rows etc, just focusing on around 185.  I'm trying to find good squat stands that are in stock.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 05, 2020, 02:48:31 pm
Just been walking and running. 

Pretty soon I'll start my new job which is an old job that is as physical as it can get. 

When I start that I probably won't do much the days I'm there except for just working. 
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 09, 2020, 12:13:27 pm
Run 1 mile
Then I did push ups, jumping jax, planks and squats
It was like 60 push ups, 160 squats, 230 jumping jax.

I was going for Murph but it's so damn hot out I just felt like I was going through the motions.  I then walked a mile.

It says it's 90 out and the real feel is 102.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 09, 2020, 07:44:56 pm
My barbell comes tomorrow

I'll maybe do a workout, something like this

Oh press
Cleans
F squat
B squat
Row
Deadlift
Curl

I don't want to say approximate weights because I haven't really done anything except my pitiful workouts since early March so I am sure that I am a giant wimp.


Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 10, 2020, 02:57:24 pm
Temperature: hot

Barbell only just going through the motions

Then threw on quarters and did cleans, oh press, f squat, back squat
Threw on 45s, did the same thing, just a couple reps each like sets of 5

Decided to deadlift to doubles of 275 for 2 sets

Dropped to quarters and did curls

Just getting back in the motion.  I don't have a squat stand so that'll be an issue.  I used to just rep out like 30 or so at a time for 95lb oh press and now like I felt it around 12.

I didn't f squat too much because the knurling ain't too bad but it's noticable like between your thumb and pointer finger if your flexibility is horrible.

So just gonna go based on the weather.  I might start work next week which I'll still be able to workout since it's just 8 hours for training rather than the normal 12 hour shifts.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 15, 2020, 11:49:19 am
Ran yesterday

Today

Mile run
21 cleans, oh press, back squat
Mile run
15....
Mile run
9....
Started but had to take a dump so I did maybe a quarter mile.

I just used 95lbs, I still need to order squat stands.

So I have a few things going on and I need to get better at running and dropping weight.

I'll just keep building up, I'd like to get back to doing 3-5 miles slow but comfortably again.

Going to walk again later or do something
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 17, 2020, 02:17:48 pm
Ran roughly 3 miles, my S health tracker is way off, it says I did 7 miles.

I then cleaned just to see where I was at.  I did 185, maybe around 200 but that was after the run and I was wrecked.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 19, 2020, 01:22:51 pm
Constant stairs last night at work

Today nothing, I went to get coffee n what not this morning and it was 80, by the time I got home it was around 90.  Sweating balls just cleaning my car.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 25, 2020, 06:49:37 pm
So my week.

I went back to the factory that makes nutritional bars.

For roughly 10 batches or so, I had to farmers carry barrels each weighing 100lbs, lifting them onto a platform, then picking them up and emptying them into the mixer.  I also had to do the same with tubs of syrups weight 106lbs each per batch.

I also did some shoveling.  So yeah it was a workout, back was feeling it but I got a massage so I feel better now.  Next week same shit then i do my 12 hour days.

I might have to go back to my other job though for the season so things might change.


Tomorrow I want to just go for a nice long jog.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on July 31, 2020, 05:13:53 pm
Went for a half hour jog on the trail.

Thinking about getting the barbell out but idk might wait until Sunday.

Back at my job during the week working 3-11 so I'll be running each morning at the trail if it's nice.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 02, 2020, 11:57:02 am
Work last night was rough, everything fucked up so I was constantly up and down stairs all night.

On the same job all week so I'll try to get a half hour in the morning depending on the weather.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 09, 2020, 01:54:46 pm
Basically been up and down stairs all week and last night was especially worse.  I was so tired and sore I woke up at 1030 which isn't normal for me.

Today

Warm up deadlift, cleans, oh press, squat with 95lbs
135lbs for sets of 10 of reads, cleans, front squats, oh press, back squat for 2 or 3 sets.
185 deadlift X10
185 clean into 3 push press X2
185 clean x 2x3
225 deadliftx2x5
265x1 just to feel something heavier.  It wasn't hard but that's where my weights run out without putting kettle bells on n what not.

Farmers carry 50lb DBS down my driveway and back, probably .2 miles
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 11, 2020, 02:30:51 pm
Since my workouts depend on the weather and I can't keep a consistent workout regime, I'm just going to run, push ups and sit ups.  Doing cleans and deadlifts etc makes my trapz and neck sore which gives me a headache and I'm sick of it.  If the gyms were open and I could go daily I'd get used to it and I'd be fine.

Today woke up sore with a headache that probably won't go away until I wake up

If so then I'll do a 30 minute run tomorrow with push ups n sit ups along the way

Got the massager in the mail and did a workout today

1-7 @135
Cleans, oh press, bsquat, db snatch, push up

I am so out of shape that I was just slow and worn by 7 lol

Ran 2.5-2.8 miles

Deadlift up to 265(all I can do without getting my kbs n what not and hang them off of it.

Tomorrow

1 hour run
Every 3 minutes I do 5 burpees.

I'll use Strava to figure out my total distance and I'll try to beat it another time.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 19, 2020, 10:54:51 am
I'll have to do the run tomorrow, the weather is shit right now.

Also, I got an email from the gym saying they are hoping to open up fully within the next few weeks so fingers crossed lol
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 20, 2020, 01:04:52 pm
So I did the barbell workout and used my massager.  I've been periodically using it for like 3 minutes at a time on my trapz.  Haven't had any headaches which is a good sign.

I used Strava to run my route to see how far it is and it's 2.64 I believe and I did it in 30 minutes.  It's slow but I wasn't going my hardest.  My cardio feels fine it's just my legs get sore and stuff quickly so it's hard to force myself to keep a faster pace. 

Tomorrow is the trail run, I wanted to do it today but it takes a few days to dry up after it rains.

Plan is to wake up early, stretch and run for an hour and do burpees every 3 minutes....might just do 3 burpees
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 22, 2020, 01:24:35 pm
Tried to run but stopped due to bathroom break.

Got an email from the gym and theyre assuming theyll open up by September 1st.  I guess we have to wear masks at all times n shit so no CrossFit, if I had to wear a mask during grace I'd pass out.

I guess there are arrows instructing us how to move throughout the gym and other weird shit.

I might just go 3x a week because I'm sure it'll be incredibly annoying but if it's fine then I'll go every day. The plan is full body workouts, just get in what I can.  First 2 weeks will be like 2 exercises per body part for 3 sets just to get back in the swing of things.  Also I'll go for town runs like I did last summer.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 26, 2020, 06:45:22 pm
Gym is finally open tomorrow.

Plan, just do everything lol
 This will be a bb style until things open up more(no social distancing, masks etc). This way I'm not using time to slowly go up and up in weight, I can pick a moderate weight for sets of 8-10. 

I probably will go everyday so oof I'll have to make a plan.

Typical schedule for 2 weeks

Full body this week for like 2 or 3 sets of 10 maybe 2 exercises per body part

Next week
Mon: push
Tuesday: pull
Wednesday: squat
Thursday-fri-sat repeat

Then maybe that'll be my routine working up to 5 sets of 10 and for example doing
Pull: Tuesday
Deadlift
Db row
Machine row
Biceps

Pull: whatever day the next one is
T bar row
Lat pulldown
Bb row
Biceps

Idk go with that theme, I'll have to see how things are set up though.

As for cardio
I'll run afterwards to maybe middle of town and back, work my way up to running the full route again.

Post by: John Stamos on August 27, 2020, 10:30:37 am

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 22, 2020, 12:13:11 pm
Finally got motivated to go.  I went later to see how busy it is and not a lot of people are going which is good.

Bench: up to 275x1 to see where I am at.  I'd say around 295 is my max.
185x3x10
135x8 1.5 reps.  So I do a full rep then a half, full then half etc.

Oh press: worked up to 145 but my shoulder was screaming

Db incline press: 50/60/70x10
Db incline flyes: 30/35/40x10
Db supinated tricep extensions: 30/35/40x10-5

Cable flyes: 3x10
Cable tricep work

Then 5 mins on the stairmaster.  I need a thinner mask, I could barely breath on the damn thing.

Tomorrow is my pull day

Deadlift
Rdl
Pendley row
Lat pulldown
Low lat row
Curls
Stairmaster
Run

fwiw these are by far the best masks i've used: https://www.all-ett.com/collections/masks-for-covid19

the ones with ties are great for running because they're easy to pull up and pull down. and they all stay away from my mouth and nose even when they get sweaty. a lot of other masks get clingy.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 24, 2020, 04:12:59 pm

Been slacking due to other things taking my time so tomorrow will be back and legs with cardio.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 28, 2020, 01:29:18 pm
Took it easier today than last time so I'm not as beat up.

Run: from gym, to town and back.  Some big hills which made it a bit more challenging.  I am not sure how far it was but if I had to guess maybe 2.5 miles

Bench:
185x8x5
2x3

Oh press: 95x3x10
Did a 4 second negative

Machine chest flyes: 3x10

Incline hex press:
40x10
50x2x10
 
Tricep extensions
Side raise



           
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 29, 2020, 04:07:46 pm
In the mean time I used the typical mask you usually see.  It is thinner and I can breath easier in it but the stairmaster is still king haha.

So for the fire department I have to do 120 steps per minute for 3 minutes with a 50lb vest and no holding onto the handles.  Today I was around 104 steps per minute and the thinner mask was still making it harder to breathe when my heart rate was up. 

I did 3 minutes at 104 steps per minute then 2 minutes of rest.  Did 5 minutes on the bike to get my legs fresh

Rdl: multiple sets up to 275x3x5
Pendley row: up to 185x3x3-5
Lat pulldown: idk 5 sets each handle for 10 reps but I'd do a 3 count hold at the bottom.

Seated row: 3x10
Straight bar and db curls.

I am planning on doing a mostly cardio day for tomorrow and Thursday then Friday is legs.  Ik once I do legs I'll have a rough time walking for awhile.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 29, 2020, 04:11:42 pm
So tomorrow
It has been raining so I won't go up the trail

Run almost the full route
From gym to town until side walk ends then run back to the gym.  I can't remember how many miles it is but if I had to guess maybe 3-3.5

Then 3 minute sprint on stairmaster with 10 minute cool down
20 minutes on bike and 10 on rower.

Finish off by doing some db work that I missed.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on October 07, 2020, 02:31:59 pm
Deadlift: up to 345
Didn't feel too heavy but my grip isnt there(double overhand)
 Went back to 225 for 2x3 with 10 second holds

Leg press: sets of 10 from 6 plates to 10
Machine rows and lat pulldown with some curls.

Tomorrow I'm going to do some cardio

10 minutes of each
Wallball
Row
Run(incline)
Bike
Stairmaster maybe.  When I was on it yesterday it was making noises like the chain was loose.

Run
3.8 miles or so.
I had to decide between a long run or a hard run and I chose the hard run.  The hard run was just running back the same route to hit all of the hills versus a longer route but flatter.

I am not in shape and this destroyed me.  Tomorrow I'll lift before cardio.

Push ups at varying heights for sets of 10
Cable crossover: 3x10
Tricep work

That was enough, later I will do more stairs

Oof it's been awhile

Just been hunting preparing for another lockdown

Went to the gym today and just did full body.

 Bench was 5x5@225 drop set and finished with AMRAP 3 minutes 135
Oh press just up to 135x5(front delt still fucked)
Deadlift/as squat super set

Worked to 200 for the squat and 300 for the deadlifts for idk how many reps

Then cable and db work with tbar rows


I haven't kept track of anything I've been eating so I went into my samsung health app and ballparked some meals and calories.

Just consists of venison, 2 protein shakes, bfast sausage, veggies, fruit, eggs, toast, steak etc.  It has me around 2500 as an estimate so gives me some wiggle room since I won't eat bfast sausage every day n what not and I added another piece of toast cuz the calories was so low.  But it's mostly protein, then carbs and fat are close to the same so idk I'll lower the carbs a lil bit. 

I'll start it Sunday since we are doing Thanksgiving tomorrow cuz everyone had to work Thursday.

Post by: John Stamos on December 25, 2020, 12:40:40 pm
I've been doing the workouts but I am watching wonder woman 1984 right now.  Right away I was wondering how there are kids on the island so I looked it up.  Apparently they raid ships, bang dudes, kill them, throw them back into the sea and go back to the island.

I was thinking about it and I'd probably be fine with Gal Gadot doing that to me.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 28, 2020, 02:07:09 pm

Post by: John Stamos on December 28, 2020, 11:02:29 pm
I guess they are calling people for the apprenticeship next week(the job I've been going for..at my current job lol).  I haven't been turned down so it's looking like I'll be getting it.


The plan is I'll want to get through my apprenticeship but along the way aquire gym equipment.  If I can pull it off there's a house I want to buy that has a big garage already that wouldn't be hard to add onto.

As far as equipment

I'll build platforms myself
Already have barbell, just need more weights
Smith machine
Hammer strength equipment
-. There is a chest and lat combo
Leg press swing
I saw a lat pulldown, low row and pull up assist combo
Narrow cable machine
Dumbbells

I want other shit too but I can't find it.  My old gym had a plate loaded bench press and tricep dips combo that I can't find.  If I can find a old school leg press hack squat then I'll do that instead. 

Ill start when (if) things get back to normal because gym equipment is in low stock and expensive these days.

As far as cardio I'd like a jacobs ladder and treadmill.

A lot of this stuff is a grand a piece but I've found some for under 400 but like the chest press holds 135 each side..which honestly might be enough.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 30, 2020, 01:16:46 pm
Walk
10 minute stairmaster
10 minute bike
19 minutes row for 1.5 minutes then 19 wallballs
Walk

Total of around an hour

Tomorrow will be deads, squats and just a bunch of other stuff since the gym is closed on Friday.

I've been looking at a place in pennsylvania for equipment and so far it's about 11k worth of stuff.

"Jungle gym"
Which is a lat pulldown, pull up assist, seated cable row
Plate loaded bench(also use for shrugs)
Chest supported t bar row
Pec and rear delt fly
Lying leg curl
Hammer strength chest press lat pulldown combo
Weights

Realistically I can do with just a lat pulldown and smith machine which would be over a grand cheaper than the jungle gym.

Anyway this is just a wish list since I'd wait til the apprenticeship is over.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 05, 2021, 04:41:21 pm

Pool room

Post by: John Stamos on February 01, 2021, 12:07:22 pm
Getting back into the swing of things at work.

Last week mon thru Thursday I was on the packers but running around a lot.  Friday and Saturday I was on the palletizers and running around even more.

I forgot which days I was at the gym but I did some lifting and 2 days I did 30 min stairmaster.

Today I woke up late and just did a 30 minute jog.

Post by: John Stamos on May 06, 2021, 12:15:17 pm
It's been awhile

Started my new job and I've only had one day off since january.  It's warming up now so whenever it's warm I just go for a run.  Today I ran up and down my road, approximately 3 miles.  It's been raining a lot so I'll have to suck it up and go to the gym to run tomorrow and on.

I signed up for the court officer test before covid and it got delayed.  I just got the email that they rescheduled it for august.  I don't mind my job and I earn a lot but because of seniority I won't ever see day shift and I'll basically be forced to work at least 6 days a week even years from now. As a court officer though Id just work mon thru Friday, no weekends really and really no nights, plus if I got promoted up to lieutenant I can make more money.

With that being said I'll have to get ready for a fitness test which includes max push ups, max sit ups, run beep test, agility run.  I downloaded a beep test so when it's warmer out I'll go to the track and do 20 meter runs.

Anyway I gotta stop being lazy and get after it.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 18, 2021, 01:14:07 pm
It's finally warm

I am running on the trail again and I ran for 15 minutes.  My goal was to run the return trip faster.  My return trip was 1:23 seconds faster.

So tomorrow I'm going to run 16:23 and try to beat my time back.

I want to work up until I reach the second road that cuts through the trail.  Once I get back to that I want to be able to do it in 15 minutes and beat it on the return trip.  Then once I can do that I want to try and decrease my time.  I think it might be around 2 miles one way but tomorrow I'll have Strava going.

Then I just went out and did curls n stuff with kettlebells.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 19, 2021, 02:37:40 pm
So when I got to my last 15 minute spot from yesterday I was 13:13 in.  I went for the 16:23 or whatever it was and I was fairly close to getting to the second road.  On my way back I was 1 min 5 seconds faster.  Tomorrow I'll run for 17:28 one way.

I was fairly tired considering how much running around I did at work last night so I was surprised.  I think the 15 min mark I did yesterday was 1.5 miles.  I believe I hit my first mile around 10:06.  Started off with a 9:30 pace and ended with an Almost 11 min so idk how I beat it.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 24, 2021, 12:25:38 pm
Thurs, Fri, Saturday I got forced into work early.

Leg hasn't gotten much better so I went to urgent care which sent me to the ER.  no signs of clotting and I just need to ice it a lot.  Hopefully in a week or two I'll be back jogging, for now I'll just be doing upperbody workouts.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

I figured my shoes are worn down so I ordered new Jordan's and bought a new ball.  I'd like to mix it up between playing ball and running.

Ran 2 miles yesterday and ran 3 miles today

Tomorrow going to do 4 miles and see how I feel.  If I'm not too slow then I'll keep increasing. 

The gym is closed next week for cleaning so idk I might get to it this week but seems pointless when I won't be able to workout next week.  Thinking about bringing my medball and some kbs with me to the track.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 11, 2021, 10:52:45 am
4 miles in 48 mins

The s health app says if the screen goes black it may be imminaccurate so I tried to change the settings and it didn't work.  Whenever it went black and I turned it on it would show up as a 15 min pace then go to what I'm actually running at.  As far as ik it was accurate.

I ordered a Garmin watch to run with so hopefully it'll be better.

Right now I'm running on a black top track so tomorrow I'm going to go on the school track.  What I might do is do a lap then head out back to the track in the woods and do a loop and go back to the track and repeat.  Has some pretty good hills to it.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 12, 2021, 12:03:31 pm
Today was miserable, that first lap and trek up the hill and into the woods destroyed my legs.  It was steeper than I remembered it was.

I think I just did 2 miles, it was hotter with no breeze today.  My watch comes tomorrow and running with my phone is annoying.

Tomorrow will be a full body workout and 1.5 mile run.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 19, 2021, 04:04:45 pm
Been raining a lot and looking at houses.  Tomorrow I'll go do a run if it's nice out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on August 27, 2021, 11:22:01 am
Took time off cuz of the hematoma.   I went to the Dr's yesterday and he basically said everything is good and I can run and workout.  In the AM it would be flat but throughout the day it fills up and he says it's normal and should be fine in a few months.

So tomorrow I'll get a workout in, just do full body and run. 

Also probably going to play ball tomorrow and I need to start shopping at the bigger chains.  I bought chicken at the local store and oof it's expensive.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

I also ordered a bunch of animal pak and RSP Quadralean and it supposedly got good reviews so idk.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 04, 2021, 11:19:16 am
Animal pak powder:  tastes shitty but my piss could glow in the dark so definitely has the vitamins in it.

Rsp or whatever: definitely feel like a cayenne pepper taste and hotness and idk I might have gotten more energy but idk and the appetite suppression seemed ok.


Yesterday: squats: bigger jumps to 225x3x5
Typically when I get back into it and I do small jumps like normal,  my legs cramp up quickly

Oh yeah ran to town and back

Log cleans: up to 180x5

Hamstring curls: 3x10 single legs

That made my legs just cramp right up and so I decided to walk for awhile
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Tomorrow 2 miles + upper
Wednesday: 3 miles + back
Thursday: 4 miles + lower body
Friday: run only, I have a massage early on

I think I have a early dentist appointment too sometime this week.  So if i have a early dentist appointment then I'll figure it out.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on September 14, 2021, 01:45:59 pm
Ran and did a push day, pretty much the same as last time except I ran faster but did less weights since idk just wasn't feeling a pump or anything until I got to triceps.  I still did 3 sets of bb and dB work for shoulders chest along with machines. 

The run I averaged 10:15 for 2 miles and it felt horrible haha.

Tomorrow I have my dentist appointment and have to do more stuff after so if I can wake up early enough I'll get to the gym beforehand if not then il just run.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

Been doing the diet, it's day 3, I am up but when I first weighed myself it was on an empty stomach and the volume is a lot higher.

This morning I did a pump session before I hit on my hairdresser.

Afterwards I went back and did shoulders

Bb oh press: just went to 135x3x8, front delt doesn't like bb presses

Angled db side raise? I guess that's what I'd call them
25/30lb for 4x10-15

Front raise into bus driver with 45lb plate for 3 sets

Machine press 3x10

Trap work

Walk: start 1 incline and 2.7

Increased each every half minute til 4 mph and 7 incline then back down and back up.  Last 3 mins I was probably at 4.5mph on a 10 incline


Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 15, 2022, 11:12:56 am

Hang clean: 3 sets of idk 10-15

Bent over and standing shrugs 3x10 at 80lb dbs

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 07, 2022, 03:56:35 pm
Basically just basic shit, haven't been going to the nicer gym since that is a back up.

Diet has stalled so my buddy cut some rice but I cut all of it since I hate rice and 200grams of green beans is half the carbs as 100g of rice and more filling.

I also don't do the cream of rice meal since it is gross.

When I start getting into workouts that involve more then I'll log it but for now it's like 40 mins of cardoo and basic bb stuff
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on March 11, 2022, 04:08:37 pm
So about a month of consistentish working out
Started with squat 275x3x3
This week I am just trying minimal carbs so wasn't feeling the best but still did 275x1x7 and 4x5

Quads tightened up quickly though

Hit some hammys then I only had time to do my cardio.

Gonna go to the gym tonight and just do an all around machine workout.

Post by: John Stamos on May 19, 2022, 10:24:57 am
My buddies diet plan worked alright, a lot of food and I was like 1lb lost per week.  But cooking all that food just got time consuming.   So I'm just doing like 3 or 4 meals a day.  Magic spoon cereal, protein shake,  then a protein and veggies for 2 meals.

Took a week and a half off.  Went hard on deadlifts and strainedish my back so I was sitting around and my whole body was tingling,  had no energy and I Googled everything and of course combine any symptoms into Google and you have cancer lol. But yeah backs feeling a bit better now.

This week was nice so I went for walks and runs with wallballs and push ups.  Usually for an hour

Today it rained

So I did
Bench: to 245x3x5
Then drop set back down to 135 for max reps

Oh bb press: just 115 for slow controlled reps to burn my shoulders for 3x15

Incline db press super set with side raise
3 sets of 10, used 60s for press and 25 for raise

Cable fly and press super set for 3x10

Machine fly for 3x10

Walk

Tomorrow is back and legs.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 23, 2022, 03:38:31 pm
Been running and walking.  Have my massage tomorrow so hopefully she can work the knots out.

Today I walked for an hour then finished with a 9 min mile maybe.

I'll workout in the am, get my massage then just keep stretching and get back to it. 

Tomorrow will probably be push so the same as Thursday.

Saw a chiropractor today

Basically I'm all fucked up

I got weighed and I am 19lbs heavier on my right side lol

Gonna start that on Monday

Skipped the gym today cuz I thought I was going to get adjusted.

Tomorrow I'll do back and bis
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 10, 2022, 12:43:29 pm
Still fucked up but started training harder because why not

I'm going to get shots in my rhomboids that loosens them up because I think that's whats putting pressure along my spine and it feels like they keep my trapz and neck tight.

Anyway this week I basically did everything just bodybuilding workouts and this was the first week where I increased weight and sets

Every day I jog 30 minutes before workout and stretch afterwards

Today was legs

Focusing on lower weight til I see the np again so I'm full squatting or SS bar.

Full squat
Up to 275x3x5
DB squats, 70s up on shoulders for 4x10
Leg curls and extensions

I was going to do leg presses but Saturdays are busy and it was taken up.

I'm also dieting...again but ima take it actually serious this time.  First week I'm down 7lbs and I'm thinking 220 would be a reasonable goal.  I'm hoping 10lbs a month is reasonable,  7 to 10lbs would be good.

Diets are basic, pre workout is oatmeal but i ordered those carb gels that runners use and that'd be easier and faster digesting.

Then it's protein shakes and my meals are typically a vegetable with 10oz or so of a protein
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on December 11, 2022, 06:50:14 pm

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 11, 2023, 01:22:46 pm
I squatted on Saturday and everything was good, did my hammy curls and stretched between and felt pain in my lower back.

So I'm not gonna do the powerlifting meet, it's not worth it.  I'm going to do the original plan which is the sprint triathlon.


So just gonna recover this week

Today: jog 45 minutes
Bike 30 minutes

I'll start swimming when the gym classes are done swimming (rec is attached to the school and the gym classes use the pool)

I guess certain goals would be

6 miles in 1 hour
Be able to bike (stationary) for 1.5 hours at idk 18mph
Then swim half mile without stopping.

I don't think those would be too much for idk a 2 month period maybe

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 12, 2023, 10:13:43 am
Ran 4 miles @ 42:15
Felt like I could have picked it up if my hoodie wasn't on, I felt super hot early into the run.

Felt dead afterwards though

Some light high rep shoulder work
Bb oh press: 95x3x15
DB oh press: 40sx3x20
DB side raise: 25sx3x20
Push downs for 3 sets and upright rows and rope curls

I guess the current goal is to do a 4 mile run in 45 minutes but feel fine after the cool down.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 15, 2023, 12:49:53 pm
Squatting last week I widened my stance on the last set and I think that fucked my hip up sp I've been resting that.

Today I biked 6 miles
1.5 mile rub
Bike 6 miles
1.5 mile run

It was more casual than trying to break records but even at a slightly more than casual bike ride(16 to 17mph) my legs felt heavy.

I think I was doing 3:40 miles on the bike and the runs were like 16 minutes, it would take the first 5 minutes for my legs to feel normalish and didn't want to go to 6mph or so or else i would have fallen off haha.

Ima do some research and see what splits I should do

What I'm thinking is workout higher reps with weights, maybe go 85 percent for heavy sets then 15 rep sets after

Then idk have a main cardio exercise and a secondary light one like run 4 miles, bike 4 miles

Then the next day I'll bike 10 miles and run 1.5

Just so I can start early getting used to biking and running back to back. 
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 18, 2023, 12:34:06 pm
12 mile stationary bike in 43ish minutes
1.5 mile jog in 16 minutes

Legs were dead before the run and I had to use the treadmill so I kept it slow so I didn't fall off

Rdl/row superset
135x10 each
185x10 each
135x10 each

Lat pull down 2 different handles, 4 sets each for 10 reps
 Bicep curls

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on January 22, 2023, 11:42:17 am
Ran 1 hr for a little over 5 miles

Was planning on doing more but I guess I got am exertional headache which is just throbbing and pressure but I don't feel like pushing it because I don't ever remember getting one.

Also started taking bcaa, green superfood and beet powder so that was a change and I haven't ran for an hour yet so going 20 minutes over what I usually do probably caused it
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on February 01, 2023, 12:08:54 pm

Protein: 191
Carbs: 136
Fats: 151

Supposed to be 3103, 225, 139, 183

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep

I'm bad at this

Been working a lot, dieting and working out a ton.

Started: 282
Current: 263.8

My diet is just water with flavor packets
Ground turkey, beef, chicken(rotate them), rice, veggies, almond butter,  fruits

I stopped eating when I get home from work and yeah 3 or 4 weeks in and I'm down almost 20lbs and I've also put on lean mass everywhere.

My training splits are push/pull, squat, arms, push/pull, arms
One push day is chest the other is shoulders.

I'm also doing a 5k on June 3rd so I'm switching between running and biking since I had a tendency to overdo the running and hurt my hip n shit.  Also thinking about swimming too.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 02, 2023, 12:00:21 pm

Btw I'm using the carbon app by Layne Norton and so that puts me around
3100 calories
225 protein
139 carbs
183 fats

I don't hit them every day but I like a buffer.

Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 05, 2023, 11:27:41 am
262.8

Today was cardio and stretching,  at work I will do chest and shoulders, mostly just for a pump, not looking to go to failure.  Tomorrow I'm running with the chick from work that I'm doing the race with.

Calories yesterday was about 2500 or so.  I didn't have a good fat source yesterday to get the rest of my calories but oh well.  I still hit my carbs and protein
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on May 18, 2023, 09:53:31 am
Weight: 257.4

Hit a plateu for a bit at 260 so I'll see how the rest of the week goes.

I increased cardio and lowered my calories to 2700 and it seems like it worked.

Pretty much for everything it's 3 exercises 3 to 4 hard working sets

Yesterday I did chest and back
Incline Smith machine bench: 225x4x10 to 12
Cable press super set with flyes: 4 sets of 12 to 15
Push ups at different heights on the Smith machine( start high go to the floor and work your way back up)
Lat pull-down and low cable row: 4 sets each of 10
Modified seal db row 4 sets of 10, think I went to 50s

In the morning I ran for an hour and biked for 20 mins


Today I tried to run but my calves are sore so I ran for 20 mins now I'm walking the rest of the hour, I'll hop on the bike and stretch.
Title: Re: Triathlon sprint prep
Post by: John Stamos on June 16, 2023, 03:39:59 pm
Wow it's been awhile

Weight: 242 in the morning.  Been at this weight for a week or two.  I'm treating this week as like an off week as far as foods but I'm still staying around maintenance so I can hopefully jump start things again. 

Tomorrow will be back on the diet but more strict since I want to hit 220ish.

I did a 5k in the beginning of June and I ran with the chick from work and I still came in 3rd for my age group.  If I went off on my own I probably would have won.

I have another 5k on July 4th and I'd honestly like a 10k in september which being 20lbs lighter will help.

I'm still doing push pull days n squats n arms etc.  Still volume work.

Running is usually 6 miles a day on average.  I hit legs today so I'm walking for 2 hours.

HI John, ur heading/title got my attention.
I just started involving in Triathlon ..
would love to get connected with people in this sport also.

see if we can connect.
via facebook? or other means.

seems like both u are I are not too active in Adarq any more..
