« on: February 13, 2020, 05:00:25 pm »Garmin guys, do you also have that "Body battery" measurement thing? Is it any trustworthy? I only have my watch for 1 week, in the beginning that body battery worked as expected, going down in the day and going up at nights, but the last days it is stuck to 10% and it wont go up. Also, what about sleep quality? Watch says i sleep shit, although i do get almost 8 hours daily. Deep sleep is too low and im also "under pressure" the whole time so im not resting well. Arte those any trustworthy or should i ignore them ( or at least take them with a -good- pinch of salt? ).
i don't have any of that stuff but i'd trust your subjective sleep experience over the device 100%. same goes for using the watch as a "coach." like it's useful to have HR data but RPE is probably more helpful. if something feels like the right pace for a 50-60 minute run, so you're tired at the end but not exhausted and could do it again tomorrow, then that's more important than having your HR in some externally-determined range. IMHO.

yeesh, two days is long to be without power. what happened?
also, just catching up on your recent progress and it looks like you're cooking! weight and bf trending down, strength trending up. cool to see.

- warm up run x 2 km

- pull up x 7,6,5

today should include a run but i got some kind of (mild but nevertheless very irritating) eye infection, so no contacts, and it's raining, so running in glasses is frankly dangerous.

had a weird experience today. as i was walking to the gym my body was just...resisting. like it didn't even want to go in the building, let alone put on shorts and sneakers and work out. i tried to talk myself into going anyway -- i was walking toward and away from the door, i must have looked like a crazy person to anyone who happened to notice me -- but eventually decided to bail. the last time i pushed through despite feeling weird i ended up with the flu (very different feeling then, and correlation does not equal causation, but still).
the shift to lifting has not been smooth.

« on: February 05, 2020, 06:45:20 pm »Do you go to a chain gym (puregym/gym group etc?). Mines always rammed full at the moment too, super annoying. Hopefully it gets better once days get longer and the weather a bit nicer
university gym. i hope it clears out a bit as the year goes on but there's a strong contingent of apparently committed powerlifting/oly lifting types who are likely to keep the platforms and racks busy. only reason i'm sticking with it is because it's super convenient (on campus, such as it is) and very cheap. once i'm not a student anymore, i'm out.

- warm up run x 2 km
- mobilizations
- squat 102.5 x 5,3,3
bit of low back tightness meant i took this very carefully. also on the second set i could probably have finished it out but some dipshit started moving weights around on the rack while i was in the middle of the set and i lost focus and reracked at least a rep early. whatever.
- pull up x 6,6,6
wheeee progress
- bench 70 x 5,5,5
not all legal reps, butt was coming off the bench here and there.
- core
- stretch
there was literally no floor space available in the gym to do either of these things. so crowded in there, it's crazy.

- run 10.01 km in 49:29
legs a bit tired (makes sense) but felt okay. the intercostal thing is still there a little bit, but barely. weirdly it bothers me more on the treadmill than the road, and not at all with lifts or really any other movement.
- stretch
yeah. in retrospect, no idea why i was trying it the other way.

decided to start adding reps to the first set, then second, then third, then back to first. let's see how that goes.
That's definitely how I would progress it.
