Soreness: quads
BW: 63.4kg

Condition: Had 2 hours of workout time, which was plenty. I hate getting tired especially because my ear blocks up and my nose is already blocked cos of allergy and when I breath it sounds like i'm wearing a stethoscope and the other end is near my mouth and everytime I breath I can hear it loud or if I make any noise with my mouth it will be loud. But not deafening loud obiviously and it's annoying to recover in that situation. So I extend my receovery time a bit more.

Comment
It was a nice session able to do all 3 sets at 35kg more easily as I am starting with right leg first, but tiring is an issue especially with my nose being blocked and then my ears closing and opening because of misfiring of the valves at the end of the eustacian tube at the end of my ear at the back of my mouth. which is triggered through breathing. The Calf raises was slightly easy. The progressive depth squat using proper form was alright managed to hit those depths even though i heard small cracks but not worrying sounds, like a stretched out crack sound. The RDL was good felt it in my glutes. not going to buy weightlifting gloves as I have managed to use the straps properly for the RDL.

damn i haven't had that stethoscope sound in my ear for many years, always hated that too, hadn't thought about it until I just saw your post. Because of my cold, my right ear has been blocking up alot lately.. definitely sucks, but would open up when I start running.

nose blockage + ear blockage = super sucks :/

AELS yesterday turned out to be great .. 2 days of weirdly tight right calf (which usually precludes more serious issues), and today felt fine. Who knows, it could get worse because of only two days rest, but it felt fine upon waking up, running, etc.. so taking an extra rest day was definitely better than training yesterday.

breaking in some saucony endorphin racer v2's .. they feel way different than my XC flats, but they still feel good. The faster ~300m's at the end felt really good in them.

I was going to really gun it on that mile by itself, but nemesis showed up .. was ~4:50 pace for ~300 and felt good.

tonight is track hopefully.

i've come up with some new walking drills to work on my posture etc, going to experiment with these alot tomorrow during my light day.. trying to get my "rib cage/chest" to open up a bit, look more like Mo Farah, lol.





136.0 lb. after that workout.

when my nemesis doesn't show up, I seem way faster .. so in sessions where my nemesis eventually shows up, i don't usually seem as fast early on. or I could be wrong.

anyway the track was full of people standing around, and lots of people to run around. weird night.

had some solid power/speed, flying easy. it has alot with how many people were at the track, just like with dunking .. crowd factor just amps me up every time.

also had to scold a bunch of college kids for hogging the track, just standing there talking .... ridiculous.

He continues to dominate inside the paint, where he’s averaging 23.7 points per game on 75 percent shooting. By comparison, when Shaquille O’Neal won the MVP award in 1999-00 while leading the league in scoring, he averaged 22.5 points in the paint per game on 61 percent shooting in that area.

Giannis is Shaq now. He’s a seven-foot-tall point guard who is Shaq.

lmfao. that is shaq. teh fuh??? nuts.

man i love siggi's, ridiculous.



i get the left two, drinkable yogurts. ridiculous.

green endorphin's and black carrera's just arrived, i think they both fit well! endorphin's maybe 0.25" too big, but that's not enough to be a problem.
