Still hitting the ISOs, and some light resistance training.

Body is slowly getting better.
Feeling better than in a while, but have also gained a lot of fat/weight :/
Around 90kg now... up from 83kg
On the other hand, eating as much as I did, my TDEE has shot up to over 3000 calories, just sitting on my ass and not doing much ... some how

I really messed up my right leg and knee, a while back, from all those altitude drops and continous jumps in place.
Not just quad tendon, sartorius, and upper plantaris tendinopathy, but my whole right knee swelled up and was hard to bend for a while.

Got my range of motion back, but still some puffiness and fluid in there.
Still some pain


Lesson learned, will stick with what I know best for myself and not try and follow programming from "experts" out on the net...

Hey so I do keto for mental health and it helps with weight loss.  But what I have found works for me is 2 days on keto, 1 day eating regular. It gives me the lower cals on the keto days and I can still enjoy whatever food on my off day. I have done full keto before and I know it can be kind of a grind, since sugar is my way of dealing with stress, so just wanted to throw that out there. However to be fair my weight loss has been a pretty mild with the 2 on 1 off approach cause I end up overeating on my off day

I'm fine with keto now, been so long on it my body has adapted.
Just been eating so many cashews that the calories have soared, but I have finally dialled it back and getting back to a good balance

I took some time off and got lazy over winter.
Kept doing sporadic ISOs here and there, and it seems all my Patella and Quad tendonipathy have healed in both knees.
Lower sartorius tendon still achey in both knees but improving

Right plantarius muscle has flared up when here and there when squatting down, seems more like compression pain only on the eccentric
around the above parallel knee position. Never hurts above or below or on the concentric.
baffled how to heal this one, it just comes and goes.

Both achilles insertion and lower plantaris tendons still flaring up a little, so I'm avoiding any major rapid movements and jumping for now

Have started training again 5 weeks ago, and have made big increases in strength and muscle mass

----

So I was eating Keto and got addicted to cashews and blew up to 94kg bodyweight at my peak, waist to 40 inches.... was hitting like 3000-4000 calories easy
My autoimmune skin conditions and psoriasis got worse.
I cut out all the cheese months ago and it didn't make any difference, then all nuts a month ago and that helped.
Carbs under 60g, with that single serving of stir fried veges.
Weight stablised and started trending down.

Then when I switched to full carnivore - just steak/pork/lamb, eggs, hotdogs, bacon and sausages and lots of salt.
Twice a day, sometimes 3
Carbs well under 20g
The fat starting melt off rapidly, even while I feel so damn full all the time and it's hard to eat over 2000 calories
But it does vary I just eat when I'm hungry and when I exercise more, I eat more.

And my skin just completely changed already - my scalp and hair feels smooth and soft, and no longer mass flakes when I run my hand through it.
Psoriasis patches are starting to flatten down and no longer feel inflamed.

Even coming from Keto there was an adjustment period, and watery poo.... but coming to 2 weeks and it feels like its over now.
And I have cured all my food addictions.
I no longer eat for enjoyment and entertainment, food is mere fuel and building material.

Muscle mass is piling on, and feel full, strength is gaining and I feel OK energy wise, so carbs and fiber are overrated :)

Goal is get shredded, back to full health, and back to BBall and jumping

Bodyweight is down to 90.8kg, and waist 38 3/8 inches inches as of this morning
The before and after pics are going to be epic!

Damn, a new facility opened 15 mins from my house -
combo indoor courts, shooting machines, performance style gym!
They have a Vertec and force plate for measuring jumps
And open 24 hours

I even spotted some wall mounted isokinetic machine

Very rare combo of features and hours for Sydney, Australia
$25AUD a week upfront for a year for both BBall and Gym facilities membership, pretty reasonable compared to my previous commercial gym only membership.
Although I do have my own garage gym.
Definitely tempted...

Mate that looks sick!

There's a few in Vic like that but just too far from my house to make it worthwhile.

Turned 53 years old, 4 days ago....   :)

Coming up to 2 month on Carnivore diet now.
Weight loss seems to have plateaued the last two weeks, but maybe I've just gained muscle mass, as I have gained strength rapidly thanks to muscle memory and tons of protein.0

Started to get low blood sugar feeling sometimes, turns out it is likely due to not eating enough fat, I only get 100g of it.
Should be at least 1:1 with protein grams normally, and only under this when doing lean PSMF style days a few days of the week when trying to get under 10% bodyfat.
Started adding in grass fed butter to my meals, soaks well in scrambled eggs. And slices of it on cold bacon :)
Bringing up my fat to around 150g for now, with 130-220g of protein. 10g of carbs or less

Previously I have been doing 1 huge whole body 4 hour workout in my Garage gym a week, and BBall/bodyweight upper body stuff at the courts on Sunday.
Changed it up this week, and split the session for shorter workouts and less stress for the body to recover from.

Still doing lots of ISOs throughout the week to rehab my sartorius and achilles/plantaris tendons, lower right bicep area and right QL.
