Damn back pain. No running this morning.
Amazing how much back pain is due to hip flexors for me. Back seized up during the night. Settled down after some stretching but not good enough to go training on it. Might hit up some yoga tonight instead.

5am
BW- too scared to look after the last few weeks
Injuries- finger
Soreness- glutes/lower back
Warm Up-
Scap & shoulders, banded ankle dorsiflexion, HF stretch, banded glute bridge
Goblet squats- 20kg x 10, 10
Squat- (oly shoes, knee sleeves, no belt)
Bar x 5, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 105 x 5, 5, 5
Bench-
Bar x 10, 40 x 5, 60 x 3, 70 x 5, 5, 5
KG swings- EMOM
24kg x 10, 10, 10, 10, 10
J-Curl-
8kg x 10, 10 (10 breath hold on last rep of each set)
Solo standing HF stretch
Elevated piriformis stretch
Some decent lower back soreness after today’s training. No doubt the HFs again. Could feel them during pretty much every movement.
Squats were ok though. 105 felt heavy AF at first but the third set was the easiest, smoothest and quickest.

« on: September 03, 2017, 08:22:04 pm »yeah man damn you got derailed quite a bit.
glad to see you back getting that work in.
jealous of those 5 AM workouts.
Just a bit haha. I will run twice this week as well as weights so getting back there.
It's motivating and devastating at the same time to see how far we can all come in short periods of time. I'm liking the Vag here with consistency being key.
yeah frequency is potent & consistency is probably the most important factor. I think consistency is the thing that haunts me .. i'll think, "what if I had kept boxing?", "what if I had kept jumping?", "what if I had kept running?" So i'd love to try and stay healthy AND stay focused for several years of walking, running, sprinting, and jumping: just some core human attributes. Going to try and be more patient than i've ever been, but also try hard as all hell to not fall of the track (no pun intended). Injuries are a legitimate set back that can be unavoidable. I've had several of those, but i've also had mental setbacks. Mental setbacks are the ones that bug me the most. I can deal with an injury setback because unfortunately that stuff does happen to everyone, but mentally that's where I need to sharpen up.
Yeah it’s the haunting that’s the problem. I’d have all my goals ticked off if it weren’t for consistency. I suppose it’s kind of like saying that shot would have gone in if it was straight though isn’t it. Pretty useless haha. A good lesson/reminder though.
QuoteMan 5am is great but brutal later in the day. I need to get myself used to going to be at 9.30 instead of 10.30 cause 7 hours of sleep feels so much better than 6.
Going to bed so early is probably the most difficult thing .. almost psychological - just feels too early when you're used to staying up late your whole life.
i can't even do 7 when i'm training hard.. only 6 i'd break down fast, for sure. Come to think of it, sleep requirements are probably the biggest factor for why I find it hard to properly train when i'm working a 9-5.. because when training hard, I might need 9 or 10 hours one night, and if i don't get it, i'm destroyed.
Getting used to a new schedule is particularly brutal too .. I'd like to get back to waking up at ~5-6 AM or so but I also know it's going to suck initially.
pc!
My main issue is my kids go to sleep around 8.30 so only getting an hour or so of downtime just doesn’t feel right.
I can survive on 6-7 hours for the most part but struggle when it’s 6 or less. More mentally than physically though I think. If I’m eating well 6 is easy though.
Man all these pieces that we need to puzzle together eh.

Warm Up-
Banded scap & shoulders
HF, pigeon & calf stretch
Banded glute bridge
Goblet squat- 20kg- 2x10
Squat- (oly shoes, no sleeves, no belt)
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 90 x 5 x 5
Bench-
bar x 10, 40 x 5, 60 x 5 x 5
KB Swings- 20kg- 80 swings in 5.5 mins
Couch stretch
Seated calf/Achilies stretch
Pigeon stretch
Kneeling gracilis stretch
Second session back. Legs felt far more capable today even with the residual soreness from the previous training sesh.
Quick note on training program. Have pinned the tactical barbell conditioning for the moment and will come back to that base building protocol early next year. With getting sick then doing the finger I ran out of steam with it. Using the tactical barbell program still though and pretty happy with it so far. Will be better once finger is healed but so far so good. Still going to do cardio though. Both LSS and HIT so all good.

My experience with it is that it's all about femoral control. I have it on and off on the right side and this has been my go to for it:
http://anthonymychal.com/how-to-cure-snapping-hip-syndrome-2/
Mine doesn't cause pain or any discomfort really so I can deal with it at my own pace. If yours is then I'd get it checked just to make sure there's nothing more sinister going on.
There was also a good post on t-nation about popping your sacrum. I do this accidentally when I'm driving mainly and it feels awesome.

Boxing / Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Conor McGregor
« on: August 27, 2017, 11:24:56 pm »
If anything it brings a new audience to boxing. I used to watch boxing 20+ years ago. As soon as I got K1 and Pride into my system I never watched boxing again. I may watch more now. There might be a few who are similar to that.
Yah Conor won't box again. He's been there done that now. I think he'll go the complete opposite and try something in jiu-jitsu. Maybe Roger Gracie if he can lure him out of his recent retirement. And no offense to Floyd but Conor would have a much harder time prepping for BJJ than boxing.

Great running commentary here. I watched the co-main and the main event. I felt like I'd been sold by the Conor media pre-fight and like Adarq said I think Floyd did a helluva job in there selling the fight mid fight. Did things he wouldn't normally do to make it entertaining.
Cm did better than I expected. One thing annoyed the hell out of me and could have gotten him to rounds 11 & 12. Get your fucking hands up!!! Seriously. How many unprotected shots to the head did he take in that last round???

« on: August 25, 2017, 12:38:54 am »Yikes. I saw the photo on instagram. Looks like a freak accident :/ I hurt a finger playing ball dec 2015 and it took several months to heal fully. Got the xray back and it showed a displaced fracture or something from memory. I think i was able to train around it in the gym by not using that finger. I avoided playing sport though because you can never predict how things will go and you can easily re-injure or make it worse. Hope you bounce back quickly.
Thanks mate. So innocuous it's not funny. Seriously did it catching a bounce pass and didn't even realise it. Displaced fracture sounds far worse than mine.
Yeah I think I'll avoid any sport till it's healed but have been given the green light to train with it. I'm fine as long as I don't bend it.
