about a month, yeah. since i went back to ultimate for the first time, more or less. no permanent improvement since. it gets better or worse -- today is a better day fwiw.
today
- hike x ~8km
4km straight up, 4km straight down (in the rain). climbed a big hill (peak 2830m/9300 feet) near a cabin where i was staying with some friends 2-3 hours north of islamabad. beautiful. got caught in a thundercloud for a bit, which was a little stressful but cool. no lightning but loud thunder and very low visibility.

morning
- massage and acupuncture for shoulder and neck x 1 hour
saw a TCM doctor here about my shoulder. he worked on it and told me to take calcium and magnesium and not exercise with it for two weeks. he also said my cervical spine is bad and really worked my neck. sore now. he asked me to get it x-rayed. been meaning to get an MRI of the ol' kidneys for months now anyway so maybe i'll do that soon.
shoulder feels no better now, fwiw.
evening
- warm up
- pirouettes x 10 mins
- scales x 10 mins
- stretch
listened to the doc for at least one day and did no shoulder work.

yay working out. also i finally started to push the furniture around in the spare bedroom, which is the only room in the house with an actually flat floor AND floor space.

« on: August 29, 2017, 08:21:34 am »Quotelearning a pistol squat might be next. i can bang them out in squatting shoes but have never been able to do one barefoot on the flat ground. that's a good skill.
I've always struggled with these 3 exercises: Pistols, SL deadlift, and bulgarian split squat feet elevated.
Not sure how i so easily was able to full squat but never was able to do those 3
yeah i've been coming around to the idea that balance is a completely neglected and underrated skill, worth developing. i'm moving back toward the GMB bandwagon, check this article out: https://gmb.io/scales/?utm_campaign=Scales+%28JzzSye%29&utm_medium=email&_ke=bHVrZWJvc3RpYW5AZ21haWwuY29t&utm_source=Inactive+Re-Engagement

re: getting up earlier, last night at 10:30 my gf was just like, let's go to bed. we're usually up much later. we didn't even go right to sleep, but turning the lights out that early just shifted everything. i woke up before 7, almost an hour before my alarm. lollygagged in bed for a while, but that is a good sign.
also motivation to train is starting to come back. been excited about trying some things today for the first time in a while. need to do a little something, at least, every day. every day. every day.

Morning BW: 78.5kg
Rest day today. [lol nvm]
Workout
Breathing ladder (i.e. only breath through nose, break between sets is time it takes to make equal number of nose breaths to the reps done]
Kettlebell swing @ 16kg for 1-20-1 - 39:30
Benchmark set. Will get better control of breathing + also need kinda stronger p-chain, or p-chain endurance, for this. 400 total reps.
oooh i love this. was thinking about getting a KB the other day. there's one shop here that sells 'em for $5 a kilo.

morning:
- warm up
- jump rope continuously x 10 mins
went to bed early last night and got up early this morning. meant to do more but (1) i'm not coordinated enough in the morning to do double unders, apparently; (2) got a work call while i was warming up that cut into the time i had.
i like morning work outs, even if it's just a warm up like this. moar.

if you go two pages back in his journal he describes, in detail, the turns his life has taken that have led him to detrain.

- warm up
- front lever practice x a bit
- Annie lite: 50-40-30-20-10 of double unders and crunches (instead of sit ups)
5:55
- stretch
my head has been hurting all day. good to get this in, as little as it is.
