Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: WholeFoods just got more affordable

I just spent like $26 at whole foods, usually it's near $40 for what I just got. wtf? Well I did get one Buy 1 ($5) get 1 free, which is also rare. They usually do "2 for .." but not BOGO.

Avacados are cheaper at WF than at Publix (a South Florida grocery store). That surprised the hell out of me.

Awesome.

bw = 154
soreness = calves alot (right especially)



jump rope:
- 11 AM
- 1 hour straight, several mess ups (~20+)
- avg HR: 147
- max HR: 169
- lost 4 lb water, drenched
- right calf sore during the session, hard to do single leg hops .. knew this going in, but wanted to work it out
- don't think i've done that since boxing .. i used to be able to get through an hour non-stop with only ~2 or so messups, when i boxed.. lmao. Also had a different rope though, not as fast as this rope.. so might not be that bad.
- felt pretty good .. mostly relaxed .. if i felt shoulders tightening, tried to loosen back up, did a decent job of it.
- after some mess ups, took my time to get back into it, so like maybe ~30s or so to reset and loosen up my shoulders before getting back at it.
- legs felt fine, no prob



bw:
- 4:30 PM
- ng pullups: 7 normal + 5 dead hang
- full dips: BW x 10



bw:
- 6 PM
- chinups: BW x 10
- full dips with hips abducted/knees extended: BW x 10
- standing single leg raises: x 25
- standing single leg abduction: x 25
- wide grip pullups: BW x 5
- close grip pushups: BW x 25

damn sucks that it had to end on that "slipped" shot. great match though.

round 1 of the US open has been pretty exciting, lots of tough matches & a few big upsets (sharapova over halep).

bw = 154
soreness = calves alot (right especially), quads moderate
aches/injuries = big toe blister drained out completely

set my alarm for 8 AM, but slept in until 11 AM :/ really needed it though .. absolutely dead today. Also took a 2 hour nap from 4 PM - 6 PM.

evening walk:
- ~2 hours
- 8.4 miles in 2 hours
- calves so tight early on, eased up a bit throughout





did a ton of soleus stretching last night and today .. feels so good when i'm doing it and definitely loosens up my soleus, but also makes them more sore as time goes by.

right soleus is WAY tighter than left.




ps: watching federer / tiafoe, awesome match. 40/40 5/3 5th set for federer at the time of this post :D

Well my rugby league season is now officially over. Unfortunately we ended up boycotting the Grand Final, which I was going to play in as my ribs are now recovered (You can see me wearing the Green boots). We boycotted the Grand Final as a result of corruption by the head organisation and we were just sick of their bullshit and undemocratic ways that they run the comp. Unfortunately the media twisted the story and tried to make as out like thugs who were upset about suspensions, which were only the tip of the iceberg.

At this stage the NRL are launching an investigation but it's not looking good for the club. They might kick our senior teams out the comp next year and suspend everyone for a year. But at least we stuck it up to the man on the day :headbang:

that's pretty nuts. takes some balls to do something like that, so good on you & your club.

that footage of your club at the end looked a little nuts though!! lmfao.

also, I don't have facebook embed on here. I rarely even know how to link facebook videos. I'll check into it though, could be a simple module.

peace!

the first (especially) & last photo look pretty intense. couples bonus points for stuff like that.

initially it could be pretty clumsy & hilarious I imagine, but after both parties improve, that kind of stuff looks like it would end in some vigorous sex. lmao.

Cold showers are the shit. I take one every day, sometimes up to 3x a day. Dunno about effects on T but it's a good controlled way to work on your willpower and get accustomed to forcing yourself to deal with discomfort.

 :highfive:

nice, I do the same, but following a very hot shower. So, really hot for a while, then adjust it to really cold and enjoy that for a few minutes.

tons of contrast shower studies improving recovery and even potential hormonal benefits iirc, but from my experience I just enjoy the transition from scolding to freezing. hah

a straight up cold shower from the start is pretty brutal.
