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.

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

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

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.

BS 6x120, 6x130KB
BP 3x5x87.5
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.

glad you went to the doctor, man. my uncle died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition at 31-32 years old, when i was a baby. scary shit. take care.

Yeah good on you for getting it checked. Training is tiny in comparison to your health.

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.
