Weekend was rough, 3 x 13hr days with basically 0 breaks. Just about enough time in the day to stuff my face with junk before sneaking in 7 hours sleep. 

Anyway still got my cycle commutes in and I end up walking at leaks 7.5k through the day at work.

Today

Squat 75kg 3 x 5 (paused all the last, the best squats have felt in a long time)
Deadlift 120kg 3 x 5
Sl leg press 69kg x 12 61kg x 15 slower

Run 5k @ 10km/h - don't usually run after lifting but wanted to get an easy one in.

The run was awful. Hip flexor got really tight/tired which thew my form off and then my right foot arch started hurting  and I got multiple stitches. I'm never running after lower body lifting again lol. Also I wish my new trainers would bloody hurry up

After a month of no squatting or deadlifting....my knee feels AMAZING. I was debating adding a single squat/dead low volume day to workouts but then I jumped 44" RVJ in warmups last night on a sub par runup. That's without any strenuous/dedicated explosive work. I was shocked. BW was at 190.2lbs without shoes as well. So now... IDK what to do lol

Bodyweight(AM): 85.5kg (13 Jan)

Notes:

• Ok basketball needs to chill. I can't keep eating this much food just to recover from bball added to my training load. Need to get food intake and bodyweight in control.

there's no way you won't get above 160 SPM on a 200m sprint.

Guess i'd have to find out! Morning run step freq was 151 today btw (that's just for the last 4km, the first km was just a warmup at v. slow speed and i didn't start the watch until end of warmup). I was checking it intermittently and it was around 155 .. but i think i must have had periods where it dropped below 150 to average 151. That would be super interesting to track, step freq thru the entire run.

I really regret not taking up todday's offer to train with him back when i was in LA.

yup.

Dont think i was willing to receive the advice i needed at that time. To be clear if i had got it from him personally i probably would have embraced it but the whole thing about the teacher and the glass full thing applied, i hadn't emptied my glass at that point. And that's what I needed before I even reached out for his hand. The point i am now .. ive tried the things I believed to be true and not having seen the results i started revisiting and revising my approach. hence the running emphasis when i had never run before etc.  I think i still have his old posts of what he wanted me to do at the time (sprint focus) and i just didn't wanna change up focus from squatting. btw squatting never went anywhere until i started doing daily squatting and i would never have done that either.

That leads me to another strand, if daily squatting works so well .. what can i do for daily training the upper body? Im not goign to be able to do it now i don't think but at some point. Daily dips? Daily curls? Which exercise? Pushups?
