Filled in for the ball team last night. Caught a bounce pass about 5 mins in and the ball felt like it had an egg in it. I stopped and looked at the ball. No problems there. Put my hand back on it and felt the same thing again. Passed the ball off and it was only then that I noticed the first knuckle on my finger had dropped. Two hospital visits and an x-ray later and I have ruptured the extensor tendon on the right hand ring finger. Now I've got 8+ weeks in a splint to look forward to. I have that FML feeling going on but this presents some opportunities to work on things I wouldn't normally work on so there's always that.

Oh mate.......the old mallet finger! I did that twice to the same finger.....really took me out of basketball for awhile - not because it was a debilitating injury, but it's just so fiddly and annoying for everyday life/work. Bugger. Really sorry to hear that. But luckily if you do it right and are really strict on not letting it bend, it will heal up fine. I'd recommend a splint like this if you can get it:

The other types of splints are a pain in the arse for showering etc. But you can get this one wet and wear it essentially 24/7 with a bit of sports tape over it.

Damn. Twice!!! That sucks man. I've got a cocoon splint going at the moment and will hopefully get something like that next week.

btw a request, near some of those Week X- Day X etc, maybe prefix it with YYYY/MM/DD ? I keep getting lost without dates :f or maybe i'm being a noob?

pc!

Thanks mate. Didn't train again today and hopefully back at it tomorrow.

Yeah good idea. I'll start adding a date to each one cause I can't remember either. Haha lol'd at noob

Week 2- Day 7

Rest

Week 3- Day 1
9am

SE Circuit- 3x40 @40kg (30kg for push press)

Push press, front squat, row, floor press, shrugs & RDL

Total time: 1hr04mins

Fuck that was hard. Took lots of mini breaks in sets. Especially push press, front squats and floor press. Was still getting at least 10 reps but needing more time. Felt on empty at start of last circuit but found something to get through.

3x50 is going to be interesting next week 

What he said ^^^

Coges-- If eggs doesn't raise bad cholesterol (meaning it raises good cholesterol) than why would I worry about it raising my "cholesterol".  I ask this because you said:

There is absolutely no link between eggs and bad chol. It was a study from years ago that has taken years to die. I remember in Australia there was one funded by the dairy board who would just promote cereal over eggs. Obviously if you have chol problems then there may need to be care taken as eggs do contain cholesterol though.

I'm not a doctor. I don't know the ins and outs but your body is more complex than just eat this or don't eat that. If you have cholesterol problems then like maxent said, focus on some weight loss and maybe don't smash 6 eggs a day to get there. Idk

Week 2- Day 2
1pm

LISS Run

40.03 mins
6.13km

Calves bore the brunt of this run. Had to walk up two significant hills and the calves were burning. Don’t have an HR monitor so I have a small convo with myself every now and then to make sure I’m around the right range.

Week 2- Day 3
1pm

LISS Run

40.02 mins
6.45km

Felt like I may have pushed a little harder here than I needed to. More walking and more distance than yesterday suggest that as well. Prob need to slow the pace down a bit. I’m nearing 6m/km pace when I should be closer to 7. Will do that for the long run this week.

Week 2- Day 4
5.15am

SE Circuit- 2x30 @40kg (30kg for push press)

Push press, front squat, row, floor press, shrugs & RDL

Got through each circuit quicker today. Total time for both was 31.06 including the 2 min rest between circuits. Took mostly 60s between exercises with 30s between shrugs and RDLs. Push press was also easier today too. Feeling good about this. 

8pm
Basketball game. I haven’t played in about 9 weeks and I definitely noticed the difference in my cardio. Still got puffed after repeated sprints but recovered after 1 minute instead of that accumulated fatigue that usually sets in. Pretty stoked that’s the case after not even two weeks of running.

Week 2- Day 5
7pm

Hapkido. Great class. Worked sparring combos and transitions for the first 45 mins or so. Put the protective gear on and we all got smashed a little. Plenty of falling and getting thrown. Next 45 mins was technique work. Lots of 2nd Dan and trying to remember all the stuff I’ve learned and forgotten over the last 7 years.

Week 2- Day 6
1pm

LSS

58.58m
8.39km
7.00min/km pace

Was aiming for 7min pace and got exactly that. Felt I had been going a little too hard in the previous runs. Can definitely feel the difference here. If I had somewhere nice to run or a good loop that was 8-9k this would be much more enjoyable and I might even like running.

Rest day tomorrow

Coconut oil, avacado and nuts are my main sources of fat outside of eggs.

i think id reflexically avoid nuts because i dont know about exact calories and they're kinda dense, but i guess that's more paletable when you're trying to get more fats. Same for avacado. I've cooled on coconut oil after reading an article saying it's the most high in cholesterol, the article recommended olive oil or something else.

http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/health-and-wellbeing/nutrition/coco-nuts-the-argument-against-coconut-oil-has-gone-too-far-20170712-gx9p02.html

had the idea to try stirfrys .. hmm

Phenom yea i dont like that low carb propaganda. Im open to eating more fat but the proponents go full retard and recommend 3 slices of bacon and 3 eggs as healthy and i just nope out. having said that, i cud prob benefit from more fat not so much less carb. idk?

Man don't believe that shit. It's the AHA for Gods sake!!!
Either way, coconut oil or olive oil. Either are good. I generally have more olive oil myself anyway.
Nuts are a tough one and if you're concerned about the cals then don't bother. 100g of cashews is 600 cals or something like that. Borderline ridiculous.

Also, I eat 4-6 eggs daily and they're so good. Nothing to be afraid off there.

What's up with eggs and cholestrol? I've heard conflicting info out there.
