morning:

- warm up

- jump rope continuously x 10 mins

went to bed early last night and got up early this morning. meant to do more but (1) i'm not coordinated enough in the morning to do double unders, apparently; (2) got a work call while i was warming up that cut into the time i had.

i like morning work outs, even if it's just a warm up like this. moar.

nice!

i was actually planning on doing some jump rope tomorrow evening, motivation.

Yeah morning workouts are weird. I remember waking up, showering and immediately going for a 30 min jog and just feeling like I was dying despite pretty easy pace.

I've experienced the same thing. Even if i'm actually running good, it feels horrible compared to at night.

I think it takes a little bit of time for your body to get into efficient fuel burning. Glycogen converted into fat overnight or somehow unavailable for immediate use the next morning? One of my buddies who's a bodybuilding trainer told me not to hit the protein in the morning because the body can't process it very well but to focus on carbs and then protein load later on. It would make sense if cells need to be carbed up to process protein or something..

Anyway morning workouts are cool. Start the day off strong and it frequently becomes productive all the way through.

dno not sure about that, but watermelon (sugar+water) an hour or so before an important session seems to really help me in the morning. Last year when I was doing all of those races, I was waking up consistently early, 99% of the time I felt like crap. Races would get me amp'd up more and i'd feel better for those, generally. Morning w/o's are definitely rough for me.

i've been trying to wakeup at 7 AM for like 3 weeks now.............. complete failure.

re: getting up earlier, last night at 10:30 my gf was just like, let's go to bed. we're usually up much later. we didn't even go right to sleep, but turning the lights out that early just shifted everything. i woke up before 7, almost an hour before my alarm. lollygagged in bed for a while, but that is a good sign.

also motivation to train is starting to come back. been excited about trying some things today for the first time in a while. need to do a little something, at least, every day. every day. every day.

learning a pistol squat might be next. i can bang them out in squatting shoes but have never been able to do one barefoot on the flat ground. that's a good skill.

Pistol squats barefoot is actually easier than you think, you will see quick progress. feet and the fingers help stabilize a lot more than shoes.
A good skill indeed.

I've always struggled with these 3 exercises: Pistols, SL deadlift, and bulgarian split squat feet elevated.

Not sure how i so easily was able to full squat but never was able to do those 3

yeah i've been coming around to the idea that balance is a completely neglected and underrated skill, worth developing. i'm moving back toward the GMB bandwagon, check this article out: https://gmb.io/scales/?utm_campaign=Scales+%28JzzSye%29&utm_medium=email&_ke=bHVrZWJvc3RpYW5AZ21haWwuY29t&utm_source=Inactive+Re-Engagement

- warm up

- pirouettes x ~10/leg
okay

- GMB pistol progression x a lot
left ahead of right, no surprise. this was really fun.

- front lever x a bit
had it, lost it, confused how that works.

- beginner partner acroyoga progression x a bit
made it into this pose:

yay working out. also i finally started to push the furniture around in the spare bedroom, which is the only room in the house with an actually flat floor AND floor space.

morning

- massage and acupuncture for shoulder and neck x 1 hour
saw a TCM doctor here about my shoulder. he worked on it and told me to take calcium and magnesium and not exercise with it for two weeks. he also said my cervical spine is bad and really worked my neck. sore now. he asked me to get it x-rayed. been meaning to get an MRI of the ol' kidneys for months now anyway so maybe i'll do that soon.

shoulder feels no better now, fwiw.

evening

- warm up

- pirouettes x 10 mins

- scales x 10 mins

- stretch

listened to the doc for at least one day and did no shoulder work.

excited about the new workout motivation but this shoulder thing sux.

hah.

it's been going on for about a month now, no improvement correct?

does it bug you when you run or jump rope? maybe a much bigger warmup/loosening up prior to BW stuff would help more? like get crazy loose/break a big sweat then try some BW exercises and see if it doesn't get stressed as much?

dno.. not sure if you recall but I had some shoulder issue going on for a while during 2016, i think it was after calisthenics but before i really committed to running.. every morning it felt absolutely horrible. It just magically disappeared after a few months or so, maybe the running helped it. Not sure, i'll have to go back and check in the journal.

peace!

LBSS · « **Reply #4252 on:** September 02, 2017, 12:03:40 pm »

about a month, yeah. since i went back to ultimate for the first time, more or less. no permanent improvement since. it gets better or worse -- today is a better day fwiw.

today

- hike x ~8km
4km straight up, 4km straight down (in the rain). climbed a big hill (peak 2830m/9300 feet) near a cabin where i was staying with some friends 2-3 hours north of islamabad. beautiful. got caught in a thundercloud for a bit, which was a little stressful but cool. no lightning but loud thunder and very low visibility.

last night

- jump rope x ~7 mins
ball of foot...come on now.

- pistol work x ~7 mins
some kind of bruise on my hip from the first time i did these. really need to invest in the floor matting. only on the right side.

- stretch

better than nothing

this morning

- walk 500m

- run 3km
4:45, 4:51, 7:40 per mapmyrun. lol at that last kilometer. morning is hard. will adjust.

- walk 500m

- stretch

morning is hard, as noted above. felt like i was creaking and running through molasses. very happy to have gotten this done, though. one step at a time. may play ultimate tonight if shoulder feels loose in late afternoon. not bad right now.

last night

- ultimate x 2 hours
too hard on body. my right knee started hurting and while shoulder feels not that bad this wasn't the best idea. sigh.

ya man I FEEL like i'm in slow motion in the morning .. even when i'm "adjusted", I feel slow. I could actually be going fast, in a race, interval, run, etc, and I still FEEL slow. It's weird.

eventually you'll adapt, put up consistently better times, but probably still feel like molasses. lmfao.

rested thurs and fri because felt beat up. still feel beat up but not as bad. however, ultimate and tennis have got to be out until my knee and shoulder stop hurting altogether. frustrating.

- load and unload gf's stuff into car
she's moving, has lots of stuff

- jump rope x 15 mins
5-6 mistakes, right knee bugging a little, right foot bugging a little.

- GMB mobility

- stretch

right knee is fuxored. getting better day to day since wednesday but decelerating is just bad for it. must do some research. shoulder is still hurt but not as bad as before.

LBSS · « **Reply #4259 on:** September 10, 2017, 11:51:47 am »

- run 4km in 20:49
ran with gf for first 3km, then picked up pace a bit on last km. knee felt it but not in a painful way and once i was a couple of km in was fine. just need to be gentle, which is easy since i'm so out of shape.

- walk 0.4km

- stretch
