Look at #2. LOL

I just read that yesterday and I lol'd. I've known that kind of stuff for years now.

If you can get chicken and stuff like that on sale, like joelj mentioned, buy it. You save money, and you save perfectly good food from being thrown out.

My roommate is so fucking annoying about this kind of shit. He throws away so much good food. Drives me nuts.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right calf wtf, right knee but only when i kneel on it
FATIGUE = none
DIET = good

-warm up

-leg press 10 x 418

-DB bench 10 x 57e

-DB row 10 x 57e

-BSS 10 x 106

-leg raise x 10

-stretch x a lot

Notes: Didn't list warm up sets. Weights are converted to pounds from kilos. The gym will do, although the ceiling is really low so I'm not sure what I'm going to do about jumping. I am in terrible shape and cardio will definitely play a role during this trip and after.

Knee still a bit still and sore, but not as bad as I expected. Unfortunately, I'm about to spend 12.5 hours on a plane. Will try to keep it limber throughout the day. Calf is still tight/cramped but also not as bad as last night. Nothing serious at all, just #&*!^@ annoying.

Leaving for Pakistan at just before 11 PM and will be gone for two weeks. Should have internet access most of the time, so I'll try to keep posting. The hotel in Islamabad has a gym but I doubt the other places I stay will have one. Very much doubt there'll be barbells and/or a squat rack. At the very least, I want to try to start to get back into some semblance of shape -- my fitness is struggling right now and that needs to change.

don't let the fear hold you back, vag. your cervical vertebrae can take it.

my cns shuts me down with that stuff too, very hard for me to hit my head on my 8' ceiling.. body won't let me.


you gaping vaginas.

of course, while playing catch today i got spooked jumping up for a disc that was kind of near the net. just let it go by.

so, um, i guess it takes one to know one.

session 1: volume

- warmup
shot around a bunch, was tinkering with my form the other day and it was throwing me off big time, but today i was on fire, hit probably 80-85%

- sprint warmup

- sprints : 10-20's
6x15 yards

- dj (18-24") : 4 x 8 (18")

- squat : 3 x 5
270,270,270

- BSS : 3 x 5 each
130,130,130

- light calf raise: 4 x 5
70,70,70,70 == ate shit pretty badly during the second set, banged my knee up pretty good; bit confused still as to what happened

- core circuit x 4
--KTE x8,8,8,8
--OH throw x15,15,15,15

- stretch

Then played catch for about half an hour, which was really nice. It had been quite a while. Now I have to ice my knee, eat some more, and pack.

EDIT: Also, my right calf has been feeling tight/mildly cramped since the end of the workout. Been stretching it a bunch off and on.

Well, to be a better athlete you don't have to have a really low body fat %.  However, if your looking at losing bf not weight, I'd say focus more on high intensity rather than standard "jogging" type cardio.  Here are a couple of suggestions:

1. Swimming - 10 x 50 m sprints Freestyle (and similar swimming sprint focused workouts)
2. Boxing - Heavy bag, speed bag, shadow boxing, etc
3. METCON (Metabolic Conditioning): Crossfit or gymnastics type workouts, for example: Run 1 mi, 100 pull ups, 200 PUSHUPS, 300 Squats, Run 1 mi for total time

If you add two of these type workouts per week to your current plan, you'll be in great total body shape.  Tough to recover so be careful.

I run in Vibram FiveFingers. It's not quite barefoot running but pretty darn close. They do wonders for my knees and ankles. Before I was cutting out because the pounding on my knees were killing me around 2 miles, but with my VFF I can run 5+ miles consistently. It's a whole different ballgame. Running w/ shoes, I struggle to walk the next day. Running with VFF, I feel even more energized the next day.

I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worked for me. That's what matters to me of course. Other people have different experiences. But at 6'5" 215lb, the less stress on my knees the better.

I'm pretty convinced VFF accelerated my arthritis. Just saying.

How so? I have bad arthritis in my knees and I feel like VFF helps take it down a few notches.

My arthritis is in my toes. Genetically predisposed to it thanks to malformed joints and I think I've had hallux rigidus for years in a mild form, although I didn't know what it was until a couple of years ago. But I think jogging in the VFF, which did feel better for my knees once my calves and soleus got used to it, wore down the cartilage and accelerated the growth of the bone spurs I have on top of both big-toe joints now.

Could keep going, but I'd have to take it to the emo thread. My point is that barefoot running can be great if you take your time adapting and if there's nothing contra-indicating it. But it's not the miraculous solution to all physical ailments - or return to our "paleo" roots - that it seems a lot of people make it out to be.

Just reading the post made my heart beat faster and breathing get shallower. Amped. Too bad it's 10 AM and I won't get to the gym until at least 6:30 PM. Need to calm down and re-read right before I leave work.
