Thanks guys, i really have no idea WHY this happened to me. Doctors dont seem to be interested in why, just what which they are happy to know cos it's apparently an easy fix and they can move on to the next patient..

Saw my GP today, no reason other than i thought i could get another ECG but he wasn't really interested lol. I didnt press him, i was just hoping he'd suggest it himself but he wasnt going to and towards the end of the consultation he's like anything else i can do for you? And i said so you're not gna do an ECG? And he laughed and said na. We went thru my paperwork from the hospital and he made a note of what drugs they'd put me on etc.

 The only thing i could get out of him was a referral for a chest xray. which i never planned on getting i just said so what if i have undiagnosed asthma and he said nah but you can get a chest xray? and im like ok. Not sure if i'll get one but he was surprised the hospital didnt do one already.  He's a good bro but was a bit disappointing because i wanted to see what his ECG machine would read b/c i felt like i had been having ATF again. Did not fancy going to wait for hours on a friday night at ED again so i said ef it, yolo and went to gym. Good session but there is def something offa bout my heart and im not sure what is going on. I was actually getting a bit of chest pain but right now i dont know if it's real or just psychosomatic. Oh I had an echo done yesterday which might reveal if there is something structually wrong. Results shud come next week cos we have a public holiday monday.

Dunks 3x6 (see notes)
Dips 3x8xBW

Notes:
I had the thought to use a six ball to practice dunks and oh man it was so much fun. i can actually land dunks clean with the 6 compared to my old gripless, slightly oversided 7. i tried with the 7 first actually failed. there were some ppl and kids around when i got there and they said hey can you dunk? show us. and so i tried and missed teh first one. After they left i switched to the 6 and suddenly i was doing sets of 6 dunks ALL clean within 35 seconds or so. It's sick. Good way to build up efficiency i think. I got it wrong in the past by trying to make things as hard as possible (big clumsy oversized shoes, ball, weight vest etc) when sometimes you benefit more from making things easier. anyway.

Light day today

BS 6x120, 6x100
Band resisted kb goblet squat 8x33kg
pushup 16xbw
CND - 15 mins on xtrainer
Planks 2x30s

Notes:
Going to focus on core b/c my planks are really bad for some reason, around 15s i am already struggling. Anything less than 60s is considered below average which is pretty illuminating. I dont think it's the best exercise or test but it's something i suck at so it's worth bringing up just to see if it helps. Will add weight as well to make it more challenging over time.

BS 6x120, 6x130KB

Chinup 2x5x101(+7.5kg), 5x99(+5kg)
RDL 6x120, 6x132.5H
Back Xtn 15xBW

Notes:
Decided to go train today, i was getting depressed from all the resting since weds. Went ok. Just easing myself back, not going too hard. RDL is kinda a shitty exercise for me, may jettison tbh. Did find my heart rate elavated during the squat sets which i guess is expected. Came home and measured and my BP was 73/117 with pulse of 70. So seems okay.

My waking HR was 109. It's been high since weds night. Im going to go see a doctor

Good idea mate. Best to get it checked. What's your resting HR?

it's between 50 and 70 now. but long story short i had to go to hospital (gp send me there) b/c there was a problem with my heart shown on the ECG, showed a flutter pattern. GP called me an ambulance and i spent a night at the hospital. Magically my heart went into sinus in the morning and they discharged me that day. Im on beta blockers and blood thinners now so i cant play contact sport anymore. No basketball for 5 months. Cardiologist wants to do an ablation. Im not sure i want that but he knows better i guess. so idk. never had surgery before.. bit scary.

if your back is holding you back from squats, be careful with sprinting. back-intensive movement.

true. im screwed..

btw not sure what's going on with my heart. im starting to worry. cud be caffeine withdrawals but ive never experienced it this way before. i can deal with the headache, but heart symptoms are really unusual

Rest. My HR was elavated for about 6 hours after i ran those sprints. Now im not sure if it was the sprints or if it was the depth jumps (done from the high box) or both and/or taking L-tyrosine with caffeine. But holy shit i was lying in bed and my heart was still pumping away. Even this morning the effect is slightly there.

ALso at the track yesterday, tehre were 4 young guys sprinting in a group, running 200s. One of them had massive legs and he was just blowing the others away. It made me wonder if i can maintain my leg size/strength just by doing more running and jumping? Right now squatting is on the backburner b/c i messed up my back so im looking to take a break from heavy squats for a bit

Been taking 600mg of caffeine and 1200mg of green tea daily for like 10 days straight. I think it's time to taper off and build up some sensitivity again. Pretty sure any fat loss effects no longer exist now i've abused it. Will not go cold turkey, reduce it and skip it on rest days. Hopefully will allow me to sleep better which will get thru this fat loss stall ive got >90kg. Lets see.

In the long term i need to simplify things and get the most out of just a baseline of good diet + sound sleep hygiene and training before adding any supplements. Not sure it will allow me to get the most athleticism but since im not peaking any time soon i dont need to do much more than that.
