i hope this means we eventually get our own mailboxes: private roads/community, usps won't deliver mail like normal. the next street over, they all have their own mailboxes, in a clump .. but at least they are unique/custom haha.

went for a couple of longish walks today, one to get my haircut and one with the dog. slightly headachey, not sure why. no run.

did make what i think is my first-ever recording of myself playing and singing a song all the way through. gonna share it here because it's more of a progress update than any of my wheel-spinning runs have been. still don't quite have the precision or the timing down (although it didn't help that my hands are cold right now, this isn't the best i've played by any stretch) and obviously i am not much of a singer. but it feels good to make music.

sick!! that was fun to listen to. really cool man. sure looks like it feels good to make music ;f

audio sounded good too. my phone cant record audio like that when i was playing, would get all messed up.

i had a dream where i was dirtbiking home, many miles, through all kinds of woods and out-of-nowhere dirtbike tracks. jumps, climbs, speed, etc

was an epic fun dream. loved it.

i've been dreaming a lot more lately.. i went many months without any dreams. lately i've had quite a few. probably a good sign!

in other news, as of today i have a girlfriend! hah. we met in such an odd/awesome way. her and I hit it off really good 2 weeks ago.. and like, 2 weeks is mad early to be bf/gf but we're already like it's obvious, let's just commit and figure it out between us. we've been having a great time & get along so well. I even met her dad on Friday hah. That went really good.. family is so important to her which i absolutely love.

but ya she's mad cool. so adventurous/fun/spontaneous/polite/good hearted/interesting/smart/loves nature+animals etc <3 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

her in my cowboy hat today.. :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibjumping: :ibsquatting: :ibrunning: :headbang: :ninja:



haven't been able to stop smiling since i met her lol. that's a good sign imho ;f

gn!

Damn that's nice.
Almost hit that 20.

thanks man!! yea that is decent strong for sure .. i mean def feeling crazy strong right now. and def seeing a difference.

goal is to hit 30 .. somehow. absolutely no idea how but 30 would be the real next level.

i just have to be careful w/ that & farming etc. farming jacks u up when ur fatigued from lifting/training.

not going to journal everything because it's multiple times per day, random stuff etc.. it's chaos

but..

parallel squat: 95 lb x 30, 135 lb x 20 today ez

and

first time db benching flat in a long time: 60 lb x 16 R, x 11 L .. nice!

just went right to the 60's lol. bench is a bit too high, feet dont lay to solid on the ground.. kinda sux. dno.



also 16 chinups on a tree.

def seeing physique improvements.. looking for BIG improvements in the next 6-12 months. ie way more than i've ever had.

nice.

havent been running last week.. been farming/squatting instead. so, was happy with my mile run on sunday!

5:47 moderate !

i think if i can get back around 5:1X by Nov 1, i'll be in good shape to get sub-5 by Dec 31.

Makes perfect sense. I thought you were already at around 8% and i also thought physique was the only goal, so a light clean bulk of a few pounds sounded ideal. But at 10% and with top running shape in the picture, i hear you loud and clear.

yea exactly. sub-5 again before 2022 is the plan, with physique focus instead of running focus. but that run goal limits some mass gain options etc, need to get way more shredded ;f slower process for sure but need that performance :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibjumping: :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting:

nice!

hit 135 lb x 20 today on breathing squat. already back there. nice. can't wait until i can throw it around like a toy again ;f

need to take it slow tho. lots of farm life will stress my back/legs soo..

But if you are already very lean, so there is minimal fat to lose, while you won't put weight so also minimal (if any) muscle to build, how will you further enhance your physique?
This is not an argument to convince you, this is a sincere question.

nah im not very lean. im probably 9-10% body fat or so. very lean for me is 6-7%-ish. only there when peak dunking, 100 mi/wk running, and boxing.

i just don't like bulking. if i made these improvements with no progressive overload, just really need to add some overload (weighted dips/pullups) and adding back in heavy high rep squatting will be the major stimulus. it takes a long time to build muscle regardless, so i just like taking it slow. that same muscle will grow without a light bulk, as long as i keep the frequency. heavy bulk would def put on the most muscle but, need to stay in really good shape running-wise etc.

and i'd rather be more shredded than less shredded so, def dont want to bulk on any fat.

dno if that makes sense ;f

22 September

Low aerobic zone run 10K @ 1:13:54 ( 7:23 pace )

Wow , almost a minute per km faster than last week feeling it easier too. This might also be a PR pace for such runs.
Edit: It is, and it is impressive, previous PR pace was 7:34, although it was for more distance (14K ). Still a huge PR 11''/km is no joke!  :personal-record:

It was a result of 2 things:
  • Weather was perfect, 20'C/45%RH as opposed to last week's 28C/80%RH
  • Watch said that on Monday's run i established a new PR of 'running max HR' of 185bpm and it upgraded my low-aerobic zone threshold to 148bpm. Last year it was stuck to 140.

After the run, watch upgraded my VO2 max to 47, which is of course a lifetime  :personal-record: :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

And just like that, after 12 years, i am changing my journals title! Age vs VO2max , why didn't that occur to me earlier, it fits perfectly the initial concept of my vert trying to surpass my age.
Well , i just surpassed it with this new VO2 max, let's see if i can keep up.

hah such a great title change. u can get ur vo2 into the 60's for sure.. lots of time to crank it :D
