15-10-26

AM - 4.72k, 31:41
PM - 6.77k, 37:08, including 4 x ~20s strides

Notes

Sleep's been bad this week so had a lie in today. No injury botheration, but calves feel surprisingly tired (so no calf raises). I guess strides are quite demanding!

Did a "strong easy" effort for the PM run, like top of zone 2.

^^^ sure, but really i should just get stronger. don't want to need support for a 100kg or for holding a bw dead hang for a minute or what have you.

- run 58:01, 10.43 km
very easy, HR averaged 121. cooler today but still humid.

yeah but also you probably want your hamstrings to be stronger than your forearms

Workout 109C (hip thrust main lift):

Hip thrust: 60x10, 90x10, 120x10, 120x5+5 (bar was off balance), 120x10, 90x10, 60x10
Chinups: 6, 6
Leg curls: 80x10, 80x10, 80x10 (great, powerful)
Ab wheel rollouts: 2x10
Leg press isometrics: 150x30s, 150x30s

Time of workout: 21:20-22:00
Workout duration: 40 min
Exhaustion level: 8/10
Bodyweight: 89.4 kg
Rating: Great

Comments: Woke up 3 hours earlier due to thoracic and cervical spine pain, so I am pretty tired. Decided to go to the gym anyway, and weirdly enough I felt great. No issues in the gym. Now back home I'm also pretty good.  Pain and squeezing feeling in the back varies, it's usually bad in the morning but not immediately after waking up. Super weird symptoms, entering 5th year in chronic neck pain, daily.

Hip thrust was great - 3 sets with 120 kg, felt powerful. Chinups were fine, I didn't push to the limit. The problem is that squatting puts the bar on the area where I have the pain in the thoracic spine, putting my back against the bench on the hip thrust does the same, chinups seem to upset it, landmine presses seem to upset it, ab wheel rollouts put quite a bit of stress there as well... basically I would pretty much have to give all my main exercises if I were to see if it responds to rest, and I'm not even sure it will.

- SubT 5 x 1.5 km
-- warm up
-- intervals @ 4:15-23 w/ 60-120s walking rest
-- cool down
T+DI 149, sheesh. calf felt okay but this wasn't very fun. had to take a little longer rest before the final rep and it was also predominantly uphill, hence the much slower pace (other reps were <4:19).

I dont know him well enough. But i’ll take a shot in the dark

Raptor might be seeing (or used to?) dreams of carnivorous animals, insects, or people threatening/chasing him, or graves

what is your source for these?

Keep your eyes open and you may notice these correlations yourself. Often, groups of symptoms come in a package with corresponding dreams. Over time people notice patterns so often that they can sometimes guess what kind of dreams someone has if they have studied it long enough. Kind of like how certain sicknesses have common groups of symptoms (runny nose + itchy eyes + etc pointing to XYZ illness). You’ll see that some symptoms point to types of dreams, and some types of dreams point to symptoms (and sometimes even what’s going on in someone’s life!)

Somewhere under the surface these things are connected. The body is interconnected in so many crazy ways. Sometimes physical pain is actually a result of emotional distress not being properly addressed. Sometimes you obviously dream about whats on your mind throughout the day. Well if youre mind is preoccupied with something, it may result in a set of physical symptoms (or maybe just aggravate existing symptoms that were under the radar until now), and you get corresponding dreams

People who seem to have constant issues in life like not being able to find a job, or cant have romantic relationships last, or cant ever get married. Something alwayssss blows it up inexplicably. Non stop for years. They get to the final round of job interviews and it falls apart at the end, every time. They are smart, have good experience, interview, they are attractive, but cant get a job? Cant get married? These people may see dogs or snakes in their dreams, or they get lost in their dreams and cant find their way, or they are looking for something and cant find it

I know a guy like this. Iirc i guessed he was seeing snakes, maybe dogs in his dreams. He told me it was mostly dogs (a lot of them) and sometimes snakes. So i was slightly off, but still more accurate than 99% of the population would be. Oh and i suspected his mother was also seeing snakes and dogs. She confirmed she did. His sister is successful with money but not romance, so i am not certain if she sees snakes and dogs. Butttt if she has menstrual problems, bloating, and lower back pain, then she likely sees them too
