Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: January 29, 2017, 03:24:47 am »
the injury hurt so much when it happened that i felt nauseated and lightheaded. there are a LOT of nerves in the tips of your fingers. it hurt for a couple of weeks and then stopped. the nail is about 4/5 off now. not going to hurry it along, just keep it under a bandaid most of the time so it doesn't get caught on anything and be patient.
when i lost my big toenail when i was in high school it grew back through the skin and got badly infected, had to have surgery. but that didn't hurt as much as this one did.
unrelated: i got food poisoning last night. food poisoning suuuuucks. and it sucks to wake up and feel hungover despite having not drunk anything.

ACHES/INJURIES: waiting for right fingernail to fall off
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- squat 120 x 8,8,5
could have gotten to 8 on the last set but not without grinding a bit. not worth it.
- bench 72.5 x 8,8,5
had more but the pins are at such awkward heights that i didn't want to push it without a spotter for fear of not being able to rack the bar properly.
- pull up +4 x 8,6,4
smh
- superset x 2
-- hyper +10 x 10
-- hyper crunch +10 x 10
i need to bring straps and go back to TTB
- kroc row 32 x 16L; 20R
the gym doesn't seem to have 34s, which is lame.
- cable tricep pressdown 80 x 12+3+3+3
- DB curl 10s x 10+3+3
- stretch
fantastic workout, feel awesome, no pain, not even mad that i missed badly on the third sets of squats and bench and that my pull ups are weak af. squat sets of 8 are a lot, once i get to maybe 125 or 130 i'll probably drop to sets of 5 and keep pushing the weight that way. not like i need/want my legs to be bigger anyway.

« on: January 27, 2017, 12:13:22 am »Just like you have knee support braces or ankle support braces, but is there anyway to wrap or put anything as a hip support as i sprained my hip for trying to squat 60kg last week and now its been painful to do certain things without the pain coming up, I was wondering is there any sort of support for the hip flexor.
I can comfortably squat 60kg up to 3 inches above parallel but any lower then my hip starts screaming.
no. rest.

this is turning into kind of a lost week workout-wise. tuesday was a washout, then felt sick last night and had a work dinner that bumped a different work dinner to tonight, and friday evening i'll probably have my visiting colleagues over for drinks. earliest i can get to the gym is saturday.

ACHES/INJURIES: waiting for right fingernail to fall off; right knee a tiny bit; whole body felt weak
SORENESS: soleus
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- squat 110 x 8
wondered why it felt so light, facepalmed, put 120 on, couldn't even do one rep
- bench 72.5 x 2
nnnnope. weak.
chalking this up to not enough calories today. diet today was bad, diet in general has been bad on workout days. partly this is attributable to work being crazy but that's a weak excuse. need to get diet and sleep back on track.

i understand how the programming is supposed to go, my point was that you tend to get discouraged and distracted as soon as you stall and that it doesn't matter which program you choose, you'll still stall at some point. just pick one and stick with it.

progress won't be perfectly lateral regardless of which you choose. if you go with doubles to triples you'll still stall and get frustrated. if you want to get better at push press, do mostly push press. or, listen to pendlay because he's an actual expert.

iirc OHP translates to bp better than the other way around. depends on your goal. sounds like that has to do with push press, so i'd say just focus on that. if you're worried about form, do less weight for more reps and don't let yourself go to even volitional failure until you're more confident.

give it ten more years and you can sit out the dance with your dearest of dears. my parents' 21st anniversary was my freshman year of college and i somehow found this poem in the pre-everything-on-the-internet years and sent it to them in a card from school. remains the only good anniversary gift i've ever given them, lol: https://travelingpoet.net/2016/11/09/the-anniversary-by-ogden-nash/

Body is pretty much sore all over right now. It's doms like soreness and not injury like so that's ok. May or may not rest today but will definitely push legs out till tomorrow.
