Morning BW: 73.2kg [scale died so switched to a different one that typically gives a higher reading that the other one did]
Waist: 32.5"

Workout

Run - 4.28mi in 49:01
Avg HR - 152

Notes

Furthest run yet. Ankles feel basically fine after, nicenice. Tomorrow will try to lift, probably will do squats + upper body, to ease in to lower lifting slowly, as you suggest adarq.

I am very sore.

(switched to miles b/c that's how running distances have been conceived in my brain for a long time)

Notes

Fuck that felt good.

I'll get back to tracking BW from tmrw.

I think want to keep running as a relative priority since it makes me feel real good, so I'm going to have to think about how to handle lower body lifting with it? Any suggestions adarqui? By running I mean slower distance-y type running rather than the intervals I was working w/ before. I guess I could just use the same protocol, since this form of running is probably even less taxing muscle-wise once adapted.

Workout

Run -- 6.01km in 42:28

Avg HR - 147

Notes

A truly easy run. Whenever I restart running my right ankle gets a bit sore from the first couple of sessions but then is fine. Probably should have started off truly easy rather than running at the pace I did the other day given this.

Will try to get in an upper body lifting session tmrw.

Happy new year

Morning BW: 73.2kg

Workout

Run -- 6.1km in 31:02

Fairly easy run in fairly heavy rain. This run included a 24:59 5k, so I guess that's the benchmark for the year.

Legs quite sore today, actually, though not due to any deliberate training. Got back from travels on the 30th, and on the 31st I took the train to visit friends for NYE. I was a bit late so I had to pull out a basically 100% effort 300m sprint to catch my train. Glutes were cramping when I boarded, lol, so I spent first 10 mins of the journey pacing the carriage to alleviate this.

Notes

Present goals -- get back into a workout rhythm and enjoy stuff. Maybe resume weight loss aiming at sub-70kg. Hopefully body comp will improve quite a lot as muscle will come back quickly w/ lifting, I guess?

yo! how's it going? :/

not great! worked out like two or three times since last post, a bit of running, nothing really last few weeks though. feel crappy. travelling w/ gf for a couple of weeks soon, though, so will hopefully restore rhythm there. adjusting to full time has been rough. i've got a bit pudgy again. probably not gonna log until back from trip. missed this place but felt unable to get back in the gym and, as such, embarrassed to pop back here :/

Jettisoning the end of 5/3/1 to shift to the high freq plan. I just need to get mroe reps in at waking up early and working out, so am gonna force the issue. Probably set myself back a week or two with not training and eating like shit this last week, but that's okay, lesson learnt.

Work is tiring, sedentary and stressful. Haven't trained since Monday. Diet has sucked/stress overeating. Sleep schedule all messed up. Will get this under control and get back in a rhythm soon, don't want to have wasted my effort.

7am fasted workout without caffeine. Start work full time today so gonna have to get used to this sort of workout. Unsurprisingly somewhat weaker than usual.  15 pullups is a nice PR, not deadhang though. I'll work on that.

This is not an uncommon thing. Chad Wesley Smith, one of the best powerlifters and upright squatters in the world, advises people to dump heeled shoes if they don't work for them . He coaches Marisa Inda who I think has the WR total at her BW and she used to squat w/ Oly shoes and stopped using them before they pitched her forward. So, don't worry yourself too much with why it has this effect, just squat with the footwear that lets you move how you want.

Morning BW: 72.9kg

Waist: 31.75"

Notes

No training today, feeling a bit rough after a heavy night out. I'm fairly dehydrated, but I was definitely in a deficit regardless (tracked carefully), so I'll call that a success. Am out and about the net couple days, but hopefully will have time to hit the gym tomorrow evening, though I think the gym closes quite early on Sunday. If I don't get to lift I'll just get in another track session and lift Monday, not ideal but it is what it is.

Ah, awesome! Thanks for the feedback  :highfive:

I felt really good at the end of the intervals! Jogging home wasn't much fun, but I could have kept going forever, had to force myself to walk for cooldown. Was actually a pretty easy workout.

I like the long run formula you did today, haha, was going to comment to say as much in your thread.

Re cues -- the only thing I ever use for myself, other than relax as you say, is to just pay attention to my glutes. Feel like I go a fair bit faster at the same effort when I'm actively using them.

Morning BW: 73.4kg

Workout

Jog to park - 1mi in 9:57

Sprint 3 x 15-20m

Jumps - 5 max effort SVJs and 5 max effort RVJs
SVJs felt weak, not surprising given I pushed a heavy squat set yesterday. RVJs felt fucking excellent, though, getting to wrist on backboard. This stumpy unreactive goof should be touching the rim (~31") by the end of the cut+with more jump practice.

Fartleks? Tempo? Idk what you want to call the cardio part of this workout, but here's what I did:

Jog 400m / Run 100m
Jog 300m / Run 100m
Jog 200m / Run 100m
Jog 100m / Run 100m
Jog 100m / Run 100m
Jog 200m / Run 100m
Jog 300m / Run 100m
Jog 400m / Run 100m

Jogs were ~9:30 mile pace, 100s were in 19-21s (so ~5:20-30 mile pace). Slower for the first few reps, faster for the last few.

Jog .75mi home in 8:21, walk the rest.

Notes

I really enjoyed that interval workout. Jogging for the rests is way more fun than walking. I kind of wanted to do a longer run for the workout today, but decided to get to the park and jump first. Came up with the interval thing on the fly and had a lot of fun with it. Adarqui, what do you think of it?

Morning BW: 73.5kg

Workout

Squat
Bar x Lots
40 x 5
60 x 5
82.5 x 5
95 x 5
107.5 x 8 [nice! depth a bit suspect on first few reps, but I get into it and sank the last 4. I think it's just a matter of getting used to having heavier weights on my back. That'll come with the next phase of training. Anyway, 8 reps @ almost 1.5xBW is nice]

Bench
Bar x 10
40 x 5
60 x 3
72.5 x 5 x 5 [at last! last rep on sets 4 and 5 were real grinders, should probably keep load as is for next week]

Chinups
BW x 5
+25 x 4 x 4 [ooof, hard, really felt my lats going here]

Lateral Raise
10 x 13, 13, 13

V-Grip Cable Row [much pithier name for neutral+narrow grip, haha]
68 x 8
61 x 12

Preacher Curls
27.5 x 10, 8
20 x 18

Straight Bar Pushdown
28.75 x 12, 12
18.75 x 22

Notes

Still sore in lats and legs from last workout, so with that in mind I am pretty pleased with this workout. Got to be mentally stronger under the bar. I think barbell rows are doing very good things for me.

Tomorrow should be chill so I really want to make it to the track.

Morning BW: 73.9kg [woopwoop]

Notes

Has been and will be a busy day so I shall probably not get a workout in. Have been offered a full time job doing stuff I would actually want to do, which is kinda hype. I think when it starts up I will try to do workouts in the morning before I head to the gym so I can have my evenings free. We shall see. Exciting...

Biceps are quite sore today. They're never sore. I guess I haven't done fully supinated curls for ages, and haven't done the super heavy/low reps scheme either for a while, so it makes sense. Aiming to finish this week <83.2kg.

How is that treadmill-at-the-end thing working for you? Do you find it counter-acting with the weights or is it just an added benefit?

It's super low impact since it's just walking and I'm doing it at a pretty easy HR when I do it point workout, so I think it's just an extra calorie burn + moderate cardio benefits. Stuff I've read suggests that cardi oafter a workout has negligible affect on gains, too.
