BW: 77.8kg

Man i must admit front squats might have revived my interest in squatting. maybe i need to refollow my old path which included FS, using oly shoes, sleeves, belts, etc to get to where i was in april. All of those helped before so they might do the same now. But FS has me exicted. may stick to one BS workout a week, one FS one and two recovery ones.

here is a breakdown of my 250m splits for last night
Code: [Select]
1st 5:11 1:18 98 --- 6▲ 0▼ +6 0
2nd 5:09 1:17 135 --- 0▲ 2▼ -2 0
3rd 5:33 1:23 150 --- 0▲ 9▼ -9 0
4th 5:37 1:24 150 --- 4▲ 1▼ +3 0
5th 5:44 1:26 152 --- 2▲ 2▼ 0 0
6th 5:44 1:26 151 --- 1▲ 6▼ -5 0
7th 5:46 1:26 151 --- 1▲ 2▼ -1 0
8th 6:04 1:31 150 --- 2▲ 1▼ +1 0
9th 6:15 1:34 149 --- 9▲ 0▼ +9 0
10th 6:30 1:37 148 --- 12▲ 0▼ +12 0

seems performance fell off in the 3rd 250m  considreign it was a pretty steep downhill. so for short term progress im going to try get as many of these 250m splits close to 5:00 pace. i also want to mark out this run so i can visually see whether im on pace or not.

Squats & running tonight.

BS 3x90, 1x105, FS 6x40, 6x50, 6x60
Run 2.5km in <15mins, 2.5km > 15min

Plan for the rest of summer
Sometime next week (hopefully early) i want to see the scale hit sub 77kg. That's the signal to stop cutting, do a carb refeed and go on a diet break where I maintain my bodyweight for 3 weeks while focusing on training improvements across the board in running and lifting. A concrete goal is to squat 120kg for a single and run a 25min 5km by the end of the break. After 3 weeks, resume cutting to 75kg. Stop there and aim to end the summer at a lean, athletic, fit 77.5kg. That's my genetic/natural max bodyweight and i will never forget it again.

Monday
BW: 77.8kg

Recovery BS 6x2x90
OHP 10 sets, 3x5x50, 7x4x50
Chins 10 sets

Did a carb up and started creatine with dinner. i will continue 'cutting' for a week to offset any weight gain from the creatine. Then diet break and make some training progress for about 3 weeks.

Well that was brutal and ugly. I'm thoroughly ashamed but there is nothing else I can do but keep working hard. It was late, skipped the run.

Thanks! the plan was there but it didn't really happen that way. was too glycogen depleted! next time hopefully. the way things are going im naturally doing a CKD where i eat lots of carbs about one day a week and medium carbs on other workout days and minimal on 'rest' days. it's kind of working, getting leaner and stronger so will stick with it for a while. basically im close to my goal weight more or less (77.5kg) so not in a rush to for pure fat loss or in a position to go on a caloric surplus. recomp is what is it.

Got a killer bench session planned for tonight. Can't wait.

BS 2x92.5, 5x2x90
BP 6x70, 3x75, 3x77.5, 3x76.5, 3x76, 3x75.5, 3x75
Dips 6 sets of 8-10
Neck 3 sets, including 21x10kg

Didn't have the juice to do more than 3 reps with my workset weights, just not enough glycogen. So i did some super hard triples and then ate a bunch of carbs

BW: 79.5kg

To log the first sub 80kg morning bw of the season. Made it clutch, will keep drinking egg white and whey shakes for meal 1 for the rest of the year just to make it stick but i think i can look to introduce creatine in 2020 and then get back under 80kg with creatine and carbs. A plan!

BW: 80.4kg

Actively trying to get sub 80kg by end of year. Then add creatine and repeat. I'm too weak/fat/unathletic to justify weighing above 80kg so that's the first thing. No one running a 30min 5km at 80kg deserves to weigh that much, need to earn it.

BS 4x90, 4x100, 4x4x90
Long run - 7.5km in around 53min

Thursday
BW: 80.9kg

BS 6x70, 3x90, 2x100, 5x3x90
OHP 6x40
Run 2.5km @ <6:00 pace, 2.5km ~ 6:00pace

Well im going to start taking running a bit seriously. tried to push a sub <30 pace and managed the first half but i had nothing left in the take. took a minute or so to relock the GPS then ran back at just over the goal pace. I've handicapped myself right now with mostly liquid diet and reduced carbs .. hopefully when i start eating normally i can shave a couple of minutes. But for what it's worth im starting the season at at a supra 30 pace .. which gives me a LONG road ahead to the holy grail of sub 20.

daaamn @ oxy after wisdom's. they prescribe that stuff too easily.

i remember having otc pain killers after wisdom's, like advil or something.

kind of annoyed, i had no idea because my family picked up the scripts and i never actually saw the script (it was after the op), but it just makes me shake my head. i didnt even remember taking the oxy just saw i googled 'side effects' aroudn when i threw up. i was already off my mind with the drugs they gave me during the op so it was unncessary. And in addition to that i have been given two boxes of codapane Forte 500/30(paracetemol, codeine) which i haven't touched. why do i need so many pain killers? it's over kill. i would have understood saying here is a script IF you need it but just take panadol. so i have 3 boxes of painkillers i havent touched basically but im not really at risk of opioids so no harm done.

Walk - 10k steps for day

Light workout day after having 4 wisdom removed. Dentist was a star so no pain or discomfort but his drug protocol could use some work. Mf wrote me a script for Oxycontin .. that stuff is nasty, i threw up my dinner. Not taking anymore and as it happens, i didnt need any pain relief leave alone something that powerful.
