raptor the last three yts you posted are awesome. 

i love the snap peters shit, had never seen him before and he's so damn light on his feet.

i'm back. vacation was awesome, although i topped it off with a migraine headache yesterday afternoon. almost a year (51 weeks) after my last migraine.

more later.

^^^yep, it's happening this week. beach. will be pretty active -- swimming, tennis, biking around -- but nothing high-intensity. i might do a fartlek or two just for some real fitness work but not gonna hold myself to it. just if i'm feeling spry.

the deload started tonight because my body is weak:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back, left shoulder, right knee
MENTAL STATE: very low motivation, had to force myself out the door

- warm up

- sprint 30m x 5
on the last sprint, right knee was like, oh, hey, i'm here, feeling okay but, like, don't push it bro.

- sprint x longer distances

- core circuit
lower back was like, oh, hey, no.

- stretch

bringing all my SMR and stretching toys to the beach, gonna at least work on some soft tissue stuff while i'm there. see y'all in a week and change.

This is the difference between you and I. You are extremely detail focused. I'm more big picture.
I don't think there's wrong or right here. Just different shades of mind fuckededness  .

I thought I was the one taking the holistic approach I'm looking at more than just the outline of abs popping thru some adipose as a signal to stop cutting. But i'm done with this discussion/debate, it's utterly pointless so i'm bowing out. No ones mind will be change today or ever, you gotta learn the hard way and then it's always obvious that the best advice was the one we didn't want to contemplate. Been there done that, even as recently as  2 months ago  ("i see my abs, i'll be 10% by 80kg fo sho" ...).

i don't think it's pointless, although sometimes debating with you can be frustrating because you're so committed to your own idiosyncratic interpretation of things. you're a bit like avishek used to be with his batshit insane exercises, but for nutrition/diet. and that guy was OUT THERE on diet, too, back in the day. he went all raw foods for a while.

what you do works for you pretty well, although you do yo-yo kind of a lot weight-wise. so keep doing your thing, but please don't get frustrated when other people argue against the way you interpret nutrition and diet information. it's not even that you're wrong necessarily -- i don't think anyone on here, except t0ddday during his drop-ins, is enough of an expert to say that with real backed-up confidence; we're all just interpreting what we read, too -- just that the way you read things and claim they should be applied is convoluted and strange and the rest of us just seem to process things a bit more straightforwardly and don't take things to such extremes.

i definitely never said anything about zigging and zagging. your diet, if you are trying to gain or lose weight, should be different on days you train vs. days you don't. but unless you're going for rapid fat loss or keto or something like that then you should be pretty steady over time.

zydrunas zavickas gets 15 reps at 725. fetch my fainting couch.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: quads
ACHES/INJURIES: low back, left shoulder, right knee. stomach felt a little funny, too.
MENTAL STATE: everything sucks

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a bunch
horrible, nearly as bad as yesterday. quads sore, no surprise.

about an hour later...

- warm up

- sprints

- strides

tweaked lower back during the first set of BOR last night. i know the exact moment. stiff this morning, had loosened up by the evening but still not 100%. everything felt dead, my DLRVJ feels slow and uncoordinated and i topped out at around 33. some two-step were barely 31, which is bad.

i feel like shit.
