many many many studies have shown that eating vegetables has positive effects on health. to cite just one meta-analysis, which found not just statistically significant but practically meaningful (25-30%) reductions in the risk of stroke and esophageal cancer when people go from 0-~300g of veggies per day: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9556321/.

or, for a lay breakdown: https://lifehacker.com/health/tiktok-myth-vegetables-are-bad-for-you. (obviously, these myths have been around longer than tiktok. my in-laws, who don't know what tiktok is and who fight about everything else, are both dead-set against beans because of lectins. but it's a little like being against chicken because you can get salmonella from it when it's raw or undercooked. no one eats raw beans!)

- run 30:57, 5.54 km

- bouldering x 90 mins
the gym uses a color-coded grading system, where each color overlaps with the ones above and below it. idea is that yellow is vb (beginner, very easy), red is v0-v2, green is v1-v3, etc. i've gotten to the point where i can do greens and most purples (v2-v4) on the first try, and have been getting some oranges (v3-v5) but it takes a bit and isn't always pretty. made progress today on two black routes (v4-v6) but didn't manage to complete either. will pick them up again next time. in both cases it's because there's a kind of move and body position that i just have never done before and am pushing the edge of my range of motion to do.

my approach now is to do some mobilizations and then repeatedly climb a bunch of yellows an reds before starting in on something harder, skipping over greens because they're easy enough to do first time but still can be a little tiring.

- circuit x 2
-- push up x 20
-- TTB x 5
push ups are good for post-climb because they stretch my wrists out

- shrimp squat x 5/side
- front scales x 5/side
- back scales x 5/side

- run 26:44, 4.51 km

Saturday 1st June 2024

Still fairly sore all over.....
But at least legs are starting to feel better

tentative new training set up

Day 1 - Lower - squat
Day 2 - rest, ISOs, walk
Day 3 - Upper
Day 4 - BBall dribbling, Low intensity plyos
Day 5 - rest, ISOs
Day 6 - BBall, Jumps, chins, dips, Bulgarian split squat
Day 7 - rest, ISOs, walk
Day 8 - rest, walk

could possibly move Upper day forward, behind lower, but my upper body usually feels sore after Lower days, and the total systemic fatigue is also lingering into the next day

Fruits good, but you don't need veggies.
Meat has more nutrients than veges which are largely leaves and stems, and can be toxic.

this is not true

I don't eat any veges, but depending on you definition of a vegetable... cucumbers and avocados are more fruit than vege :)
I avoid all leafy things, seeds and grains

Meat, fruit, raw honey, maple syrup, A2 milk, cheese is all I eat

Friday 31st May 2024

Upper body moderately achey from yesterday, much less than expected.
Lower body still fairly sore... posterior chain also more sore from the high angle rows yesterday.

Plus hamstrings got worked today when I went to pick up 6 second hand Hansu 25kg calibrated plates from Facebook Marketplace...
Originally was only ment to get 4 plates, but the guy had 2 more and the whole lot was cheap, so why not.

Not that I need 150kg more weight, but I wanted these for easier loading on chins and dips and other things
As these are much thinner than my 20kg bumper plates, and even the regular rubber coated 20kg plates.
Six of these 25kg plates occupy the space of three 20kg bumper plates...
Although I doubt I need to do 150kg chins or dips anytime soon  ;D

Thans for the insight guys. Yeah i guess that if nutients/kcals are the same it won't make a real difference.
FWIW, i don't like breakfast, so im close to 14/10 IF even when i don't try to. So i think ill stick to that for the whatever ketones fat-burning voodoo hype shit. Ill just actively try to make the gap bigger, bring it closer to 16/8 or more.
What's the deal with fruits and veggies though? You mean replace carbs with them, or just make sure you have them too, for the vitamins & fibers?



30 May

Low aerobic HR zone run 7K @ 50:55 ( 7:16 pace )

Back to low 7s pace, despite legs still being sore & tired. Great.
