Potentially the most repeated comment in my log that fails to be adhered to. It's a goal that just gets renewed like my car insurance policy without ever really using it.
yeah, it's funny: i went through a few years where i just decided that stretching and SMR were dumb and so i mobilized before workouts but never really stretched after. didn't seem to hurt me none. but after noticing the big change in my right wrist after just a couple of months of not-even-that-intensive stretching and movement, i'm back on the bandwagon. let's see how well i do.must redouble commitment to stretching.
Potentially the most repeated comment in my log that fails to be adhered to. It's a goal that just gets renewed like my car insurance policy without ever really using it.
i just finally quit stretching. forever. i finally gave up on the idea of stretching. I feel pretty good though, but I haven't been training hard consistently the last few months. i've had so many stretching related tweaks that I just decided, no mas.
:/
i don't believe you about "forever." you've certainly hurt yourself more stretching than anyone else i know -- a weird amount -- but i wonder if that's just because you need to find a better/healthier way for yourself to do it. your injuries often seem to come while you're trying to press and hold deeper/longer into a static stretch. the GMB approach i've found very healthy and helpful. it's gently dynamic and it's a lot to do with organization, e.g. using your quads and glutes to pull yourself into position for a deeper pancake, or using your bodyweight and back to pull yourself into a deeper posterior-shoulder stretch. ymmv.
have you read "stretch to win"?
nope never read it. you've recommended it several times, never checked it out tho.
i've experimented with a few protocols, AIS, PNF, static, simple dynamic/movement based .. I'd agree that my overzealous static holds are probably the biggest culprit. One of my worst stretching injuries was when i worked at Memorial Sportscenter, just went down and did some light hamstring stretches with really short holds (~2-3 s), and boom hamstring tendon/muscle got a razorblade-like tear. that injury haunted me for a long time.
as far as forever .. ya who knows, but i did one stretch the other day and i stopped immediately. in my mind now, the risk to reward ratio has tipped heavily in favor of risk.
for the most part i actually enjoy how i feel right now.. resting more than training feels pretty good - i just need to step up my training sessions again.. lots of aches have disappeared (hips/ankle). That stupid knee injury is still there though, seems like I did some serious (though probably a very small section) of damage in my left patella. Going to try and get back on track athletically (running/sprinting), but implementing more rest than training. Rest as a training session.. ;f

http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/methods-of-endurance-training-part-1.html/
I've found his series to be very helpful for learning about aerobic training, pretty much my template for aerobic workouts. In the last part of the series he says something really similar to what you just said, 30-45 mins light aerobics for athletes when in-season or strength phase. I'll give the preworkout aerobics a try, keeping intensity lower
cool! ya i read that series a while back, LBSS linked it iirc.

What concerned me in particular is some of this information about how aerobic training can interfere with protein synthesisQuoteHowever, one of the primary effectors of adaptation is something called AMPk (which stands for adenosine monophosphate kinase). Now, I wrote an article about AMPk: The Master Metabolic Regulator several years ago and, since that time, research has simply continued to mount on the topic. For the details you can read the article, I’ll simply recap below.
In essence, AMPk is a cellular energy sensor, it reacts to changes in the energy state of the muscle cell and this has a number of effects. For example, when AMPk is activated, the muscle will burn more fat for fuel, it will take up glucose from the blood stream, it will become more insulin sensitive. It’s worth mentioning that AMPk activation also inhibits protein synthesis by inhibiting another molecular sensor called mTOR. This explains a whole bunch of other things (such as why doing a lot of endurance training after you lift is a bad idea) which I’m not going to get into in this article.
Relevant to this article, AMPk activation is a big part of what stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis (that is, the creation of new mitochondria). If you remember hearing about the couch potato rat that was turned into a marathon running rat, that was done by over-expressing AMPk in the skeletal muscle.
Do you think intense aerobic and anaerobic training could work against each other so neither one is receiving optimal benefit? Joint impact is something I would worry about mixing those two. Maybe doing the intense aerobics on elliptical? I think swimming wold also be a good option but I am just not skilled enough swimmer to get a controlled 30-45 min workout. I've heard rowing can surprisingly be pretty hard on the joints too.
nah i think that's overanalysis. it could be sound "science", but, the applicability of it to the "real world" & taking into account a moderate progression, don't see it causing any problems.
In excess, both would work against each other for sure.. but that's almost if you're trying to specialize in both disciplines or peaking one system after building the other as a base - in that case, you need detailed / careful planning .. in your case, you just need to get your body adapted to being able to handle *light* cardio pre or post working .. or just on an off day *whenever*, like it's nothing. It should effect you, a little more than walking would. If it impacts you more than that, that's just a good sign you have some quick gains to make in conditioning, or you're going way too hard in the cardio warmup.
IMHO, cardio is way too taboo. In fact, all of these elite/pro runners & coachers are trying to get people to run SLOWER.. nice relaxed runs @ conversation pace, more volume/longer distance. I'm not saying take it there (hours of running), but most athletes will benefit from such paces even if it's 30-45 minutes. The body adapts quick to that from my experience.. after a few weeks, you get greedy and start going faster, because you just adapt so quick. Those higher paces are good too, but they are basically a separate session (dedicated session): they are more taxing on the CNS/alactic systems, which is what should make you feel like you need more recovery. Generally those should increase in frequency as you move closer to competition/sea.
But ya in a nutshell, light cardio should exist in every block/period of your training, whether it be a warmup and/OR a dedicated session etc.. got to hit that steady state for ~30 minutes and just give the heart some stimulus to adapt/improve.
fwiw, I never liked cardio AFTER lifting .. I feel like there's more risk there, because you can fry your CNS during a heavy intense session, and then running with that diminished CNS isn't the best idea. On the other hand, when you're fresh, light cardio before lifting will also get you really loose, (maybe) optimally warmed up & ready to go. I mean most people don't break enough of a sweat before lifting - we're all guilty of it.

The bodybuilding: I agree with you 100% I think lower bodybuilding can be very useful. I learned from Verk that while slow-twitch muscle can't make a literal conversion to fast-twitch, it can begin to act more like fast-twitch if you follow hypertrophy-->RFD. So might as well get swole and then make your fibers functional for athletics.
On that particular day though, I was just doing upper body brolifting which I was disappointed in.
hah. all good man. elite chinese oly lifters love to do that, tons of videos of them going nuts just bodybuilding with upper. I remember Zhang Guozheng (sp?) bragged about his love for bodybuilding training, in several articles/interviews.

+4 hours
First frisbee practice in a while. Played kind of bad, but about at the level I was expecting. Anaerobic fitness is the biggest limiting factor. Throws also need hella work, and movement quality. Didn't get a chance to roof anyone but laid out 4 times, brace holding knee together. Biggest strength was positive attitude and sociability. Confident, despite playing not great.
Good news is BRACE WORKS PERFECTLY. Kind of rubbed the skin around my hamstring insertion raw and still yet to test it out on SLRVJ, but I CAN PLAY. YES.
Groin issue flaring up again, will see what the PT thinks about it. Not too surprised or terribly worried, it disappeared last time I was at peak performance for frisbee.
awesome except for the portion I bolded.. that would freak me out. EEK!@#@$

i did but, it's very fatiguing mentally. I enjoy doing the long walk+short interval runs sessions. I dread running non-stop (fast). I could run slow all day, but I feel like my body doesn't respond well to that, so it's almost counter productive.
dno, with running, you need to really be focused - to withstand torture.. distance running training isn't anywhere near as fun as dunk/vert/speed etc (to me).

I want to get in some solid aerobic workouts but am following linear periodization for the next 2 months leading up to a tourney: strength -> power -> anaerobic endurance+skill work. Where do you think would be the best place to try to squeeze in aerobic work where it would take away the least from the main quality I'm trying to develop? I'm thinking bout just skipping it this cycle and just hitting it hard before my strength phase once I start my next cycle.

Vicious workout. Doing high intensity squats+DL's consecutively is killer. By the time I got to the last superset I felt awful and had to talk myself through every set so I wouldn't puss out.
dammit.. a little late :/
i'd say aerobic needs to be in there at every stage, just the intensity of it is what changes. Slow relaxed runs of 30-45 minutes are great for the heart especially, so being able to do say ~30 minutes of relaxed running before lifting as a warmup, and not have it tax you, is a good marker IMHO. The question is really, how do you fit it in: do you do a separate session etc? I personally like getting some aerobic work in as a warmup: ~30 minutes of light relaxed running or jump rope prior to a lifting session, allows you to kind of kill two birds w/ 1 stone. I mean initially you'd start with 10-15 minutes, but ideally you'd want to be capable of 30-45 minutes and feel fine (or even better) when you start lifting. That's a good sign of overall fitness it seems. If doing 30 minutes of light running wrecks you, not good. Should have just as much strength in your lifts, from my experience at least.
Then as you start transitioning into anaerobic endurance/skill, you'll want to throw in some dedicated aerobic sessions 30-45 minutes of steady pace under lactic threshold.

Had an isometric workout planned tonight but gonna bail so I can test run the brace tomorrow. Kinda tired too. Feel kind of like a sellout doing bodybuilding, it's not going to carryover to sport at all. Maybe just stick to upper strength maintenance and do some bb work for back+hip flexors.
nah BB can be great. as long as you put the other pieces together, skill/speed/power, no problem with BB.. BB may or may not be optimal - debatable, but it's definitely useful. The lower body responds especially well to BB style training - for example, high rep squatting (MEBM) is an old BB technique that seems to be underutilized in performance training. Here we are doing all of these advanced things, but then moderate load squatting until you basically pass out and die or 10x10 sets ended up being my favorite method for improving leg/hip strength related to jumping. lmao.
how's that brace working?

Hips just getting way too sore. They've been tight and I'm working on them but there was a breaking point and I think it was the incline bench the other day. I'm used to doing 30 degree inclines and the bench is fixed at 45. My natural arch that I use was just too much here I think. That was the straw so to speak. Sitting at work has killed it too. Stretching after training today helped a lot but I'm bummed by the fact that this is the stage I usually have issues and yet again I haven't progressed. Haven't deloaded for a while so there's definitely a lesson there. I'm heading away somewhere warm for a week in just over 2 weeks time where I will have limited access to a gym so will just get some good work in over the next 2 weeks. Lots of single leg, core, upper body and stretching. I'm thinking with some good core and single leg work I can put myself in a great position to start again. Booked in for a massage on Monday so no doubt that will help too.
*Edit- think I need to get away from straight sets of 5 for a while. At least some other form of periodisation might be called for. That and focusing more on recovery might sort me out. Having a look around at some programs now that I can get stuck into.
guh! damn.
hip pain is a deal breaker for me. scares me so much I back off, quick. squatting has always seemed to be the biggest culprit.
you really need more forced deloads it seems.. I mean, you are always so consistent but these things just slowly surface and then as you work through them while trying to address them, they eventually sideline you.
maybe do like Dreyth was going to do, deload/rest every 4th week (last week of the month). I always liked that idea.

Comment
My coach recommended I get back on to BSS and switch 4 weeks bss and 4 weeks half squats. The BSS are horrible in terms of the feeling and tire out more from this than half squats and such. 20kg was comfortable struggle but not easy, made my glutes and quads sore and these really helped me with my sprinting speed. After I did the calf raises 110kg form was not difficult, I place feet on edge of weight plates do it on them, and it was hard to get my heels the max height it can reach without weights, so will stay with this for few more weeks. Then I just wanted to do 1 set half squat with the safety pin below so I squat down to the safety pin, which was at quarter squat and rest it on the pin and just explode up, only 1 rep as I didn't want to do more then what my coach wanted. The RDL's getting better but grip always an issue i use tissue but they don't grip so it causes the bar to spin and making it difficult. But it's getting easier but it's not easy yet. Then did the last set without tissue, which I can bare the pain and blisters for 1 set only.
Rating: 8/10
are the calluses on your hands huge or something? or is it just painful regardless? When my calluses get "large", it can really make things way more painful than they should be. filing them down or ripping them off helps alot.

Didn't sleep well last night so I went against my usual principles and took ~200mg of caffeine since this is my last workout for about a week. Fucking overjoyed with that OHP top set. I was really not expecting to get more than 2 reps.
Also pleased that my chin "baseline" not too hard but not too easy set is at 8 reps now. Progressing well there.
Chucked in a ton of random volume. I will probably be rather sore tomorrow (my legs are dead today from yesterday).
oo
So I've been working consistently for just under 5 months now, so perhaps it's time to take stock of progress.
Starting Stats
BW - 76kg
Squat - 70kg x 4
Front Squat - 50kg x 5
Deadlift - 90kg x 2
Bench - 60kg x 1
OHP - 30kg x 8
Chins - BW x 5
Current Stats
BW - 84kg
Squat - 112.5kg x 3 [done 13-06-17]
Front Squat - 97.5kg x 3
Deadlift - 130kg x 4 [done at RPE~8 most recently]
Bench - 87.5kg x 4
OHP - 57.5kg x 3
Chins - +15kg x 4
So that's 8kg gained in 5 months. Some amount of that is likely due to creatine. I'll measure my waist in the morning, too, to see if that's changed much. https://www.strongerbyscience.com/realistic-training-goals/ suggests 3kg of lean mass in one's first three months as an average: "a “normal” range [for beginners] from .5kg/1lb per month to 2kg/4lbs per month." So I've probably hit the middle of that pretty well, which is pleasing.
Lifts are all near the best they've ever been. I checked back through old logs and my OHP PR is 60kgx1, which I should definitely be able to match or beat. I never repped 100kg on bench, so I reckon I'm at my peak there too. Squats less good, but lower body stuff has been impaired by occasional lower back pain. However, I'm happy with how I'm managing that and expect I will be at lifetime PR levels for that in the near future. I think my FS best was around 110x3, which I'll be at pretty soon.
According to symmetricstrength.com I'm at intermediate ("the lifter has been consistently training, likely for at least a year") on everything and all my lifts are fairly well in line with each other.
I would love to get to "proficient" by the end of the year.
Went through a lot of stress in this period with a horrendously intense final term of university where I had to take 24 hours of exams + job searching and whatnot, so all things considered I think this progress is pretty good going. Mental state-wise I'm having a really great time training and looking forward to sticking with it.
I'm going on a 10ish day holiday soon, retuning early August. I'll be training with a good buddy a few times during that span, maybe trying out maxes on some of the upper body lifts. After I return I think I'll commit to a cut. I'm not substantially fluffier than when I started working out again, but I'm now at a decent level muscularity and strength and think I could feel a lot better getting down to 75-78kg. I've never successfully got particularly lean in the past, but I've grown up rather a lot since previous training periods and the fact that I am a decent cook nowadays will make life a lot easier. I'm actually quite excited to try this out. If I cut at about .75kg/week then it should be about a 10 week cut. I think doing it now makes sense, because I'm probably still at the point where I can cut moderately aggressively and still make decent progress on gym lifts.
Anyway, glad to be back here and back in the gym.
yup that's some good progress. you basically know what to do now.. you just seem much more confident with your training this go-round.
What made you stop training before? start uni & those responsibilities for the most part correct? Seems like you're really enjoying training & also realized how much you missed it. Just need to be careful when you start a new/big job, it's easy for training to slip when you're confronted with a whole new set of stressors + that "ego to perform" (work addiction).
As for cutting, that's always a debate. You've found a good rhythm.. One of the hardest things in training, is finding a good rhythm and then riding it out for as long as possible. Either we never find a good rhythm, or we find it and get bored or convince ourselves we need to switch it up. It's almost as if our subconscious is trying to short-circuit our progress in order sabotage our gains & make us quit training so we can go back to lying on the couch. Some of my biggest mistakes in training were finally finding a rhythm but then changing things up way too soon.
That's more related to switching things up drastically though, not cleaning up your diet slightly, eating a little lighter, and staying on basically the same routine. Seems like most people start cutting, their brain starts scrambling, and their routine eventually switches up dramatically.. just becomes a mess.

finally back under 160 it seems.. 158 the last few days. eating like a mouse but feel good.
right big toe callus (on the bottom left) is back - from the walking/running i imagine .. had to file it down. this thing sucks. annoying how the body can do something to protect something else, but cause all kinds of pain/issues. not sure why it's callusing up.
might go for a really long walk/read/run today.. been looking to push past 3 hours..... could be the day.
