More September fun, but as we can see, some guy in this
pic needs to tighten up his fitness game.

Session 6 begins as inauspiciously as Session 5 ended… in a whisper. I am in a slump, or more likely a transition. I’ll come out with something better.

82513 [Sunday #68] wake 190.5 32.5 49 – I can feel it too. Let’s have some coconut water and start the recovery routine. Sea salt purge yielded little. GI metabolism working well. Protein shake for bkft – chores – early nap and produce shopping. Headed to TU for mtg. Casein/fruit shake and afternoon supps.

Pretty intense workout at TU, “shockwave” – BCAAs after, trailmix & protein bars. A lot of protein today.

82613 [Monday #69] 189 23.5 53. Although it was a nice day and I was energetic, I never left the house. I did juice my veggies, have two shakes – one with whey the later w/ casein and worked out with weight vest and ankle weights.


Caught up with w/ TB 2 hr. convo and got a nap. Back to work tonight for Tuesday. I could possibly work legs heavy tomorrow. Catch up on this journal tonight.

Did some eval pix today also. I look pretty good. Need to get the fat off the torso. That will be difficult. There, I’ve acknowledged it – now make it happen.

Treat myself as if I’m 15 lb overweight. Also worked flex and did some biceps curls. Iced the shoulder, feel pretty good about the day over all.

82713 [Tuesday #70] – wake 191 17.5 57 post – 1; some squats, drank bkft, hemp pro, egg whites, etc. pretty good. Going to the Y – start heavy and singles in the middle and body work and stretch @ the end. That’s the plan. Also pre-work drink and stack.

YMCA
Here I am at my brother Tim's (pictured)
Art showing, Sept 6th I think. Way bigger
that a couple years ago. The weight spiked
just over a year ago with heavy weight
training. Thicker and stronger, but injured.
Got to ask, was it worth it???
Yeah... It was... Photo by Eva

Squats – 315 was heavy. 5 sets about 22 reps total, felt heavy.

Leg press – maxed, maybe even went over 3 sets and calf press and single calf raises.

Shin Flex – 95 lbs and foot raise, deep squats and kix between.

Single leg slide presses – 135 + block, plus calf presses, up to 275, 3 rounds.

Triceps press down – 100 lbs; 20 – 16 – 12

Stretch and sauna for shoulder and out.

Post workout head ache, should be noted. Dehydrated? Work out too hard? Poor nutrition? I tried to nap but couldn’t. sore (raw) left side of lip where top & bottom meet, left corner.

82813 [Wednesday #71] – AM gig – suffering a headache!! What? Maybe I should eat. Body doesn’t feel hungry tho… eat anyway!!

Double but no relief.

Finally got a cup of tea and book – headache gone. Okay, not that fast. Celebrated friendship at Mom’s. tailpipe bracket broke on the car. Had a late shake, thin & melon'y. Maybe some legs @ the gig – but hard tomorrow – somewhere.

82913 [Thursday #72] wake 190.5, 20  55.5% Home work, various activities including sprinting up the steps, leg work with wts, dynamic tension, etc. nice day but didn’t go out. No biggie, tomorrow is another day.

83013 [Friday #73]  190.5  18 56.5 – before alarm, pretty good wake, opted to train at home, weight vest squats 1 legged stuff. Protein breakfast, low cal stuff. Not feeling very hungry, not weal or super strong.

83113 [Saturday #74] wake 192 18 56.5. had a shot of sambuca before bed, gp.

Woke feeling good, iced shoulder, organized music. Determined to get out, just for shopping. El steps easier. Just got to keep climbing. Drank bkft. Got to mix stuff for the week. Back to temple Tuesday, back to squats Wednesday, either TU or at the Y. Keep doing home work too for legs and cardio. Vest and ankle weights.

SEPTEMBER
Hmmm, what did i start, or return to doing
when I got back from NC? I rollercoasted as
usual then maintained the same weight for a
week, then a big drop at the end of the session. I
should maybe look at these charts more
analytically.

90113 [Sunday #75] – 191: 18 56.5. Normal therapy and flex stuff. Sundae party. One drink was like a whole night of drinking.

90213 [Monday #76] – wake 191 20.5  55.5. chores juiced, shoulder therapy, etc. the injury really affects my motivation.

90313 [Tuesday #77] – wake 191  18 56.5: 2 – double GX today maybe squats 3- before GX. Strong performance, shoulder was a star. Blood flow!!

90413 [Wednesday #78] wake 191  17 57: After 2, feeling unmotivated to squat heavy. Opted for a grounding workout.

Park Workout – about an hour aerobics, kickboxing, barefoot in the park, let’s see how this grounding stuff works.

90513 [Thursday #79] 191  18.5  56.5. returned to doing some stuff at the gig. One handed pulls w/ the good side, wall push with the injured side.

Body and mind are  pulling me away from weights and do more body weight even for legs. Maybe resume squats in mid October? Also train outside more. Return to ruggedness seems like a misnomer these days.

Fed demo today. Go to fed GX demo – a good workout for me, broke sweat, but didn’t over do it. Voice and shoulder held. Back to the bar and bands tonight. Maybe barefoot in the park tomorrow.

90613 [Friday #80] – 190.5 21 54.5 – aerobic workout in the park, on the slope. It was good. I was wiped out afterwards. Did some one arm pull and push at the gig, nothing major.

90713 [Saturday #81] – wake 188.5 20 55. Sore on right side of neck and back (trapz). Most exercise was flexing and stretching, feels like what people describe as whiplash (I know now it was from last night’s one arm pull ups). Probably from the one arm hang stuff at work. Extreme DOMS I think.
