Bullroarer Took Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Why are my quads more tired from an hour at the bounce house with my 3 year old than running 4 miles or squatting heavy?

Bullroarer Took Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 No strength training. Did some cat and camels to loosen up my back. Push mowed the yard for a half hour. Ran 3.27 miles on grass. Stayed roughly within my calorie goals taken activity into account. I always get a little loose on the weekends but havent gone nutso like last weekend. Havent weighed or measured in awhile. Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm." Just remember that Scooty Puff jr sucks! Link to comment

Bullroarer Took Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 And another 2.15 mile.

Bullroarer Took Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Had my numbers put up on the leaderboard for Bench, OHP, Squat and Deadlift. Pretty darn humbling. Granted most of them are lifts where I am hitting at least 5 reps so I am not testing a true 1RM but still. The good news is there is still a crap ton of room for improvement. Guess I need to get stronger and lighter! Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm." Just remember that Scooty Puff jr sucks! Link to comment
Bullroarer Took Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Had a little carbier breakfast this morning so I could tax my system a bit Squat #45x595x5135x5170x5195x5220x8 Deadlift 125 5x10Incline DB press 35# 5 x 10captains chair 4x1575# curl 2x10 The out to audobon park for a 5.12 mile hilly trail run, bout 100 flights of stairs registered on fitbit. Gotta do a late shift at work tonight as a supervisor so 12-8. After work I may head out on the hospital grounds and try to pound out another 3 miles... but I have already beat me legs like they owe me drug money so we will see. Late days typically means less evening munch time and better diet adherence. Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm."

Bullroarer Took Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Went for a leisurely 2.25 miel evening run. Had a bit more ice cream today tan planned but still toped out at 1600ish calories which I probably burnt just in my 7 miles of runs. Quote "For us, there is no spring.

Bullroarer Took Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Took an actual rest day yesterday. A leeeetle bit of stretching and mobility. Doing 30k steps with 7 miles of that running... on leg day... has left some lingering soreness in my hammies. Today was upper body day. And I fucked up. I print two weeks of workouts on opposite sides and I did x3 week weights on x5 week of 5/3/1. That fact makes me feel a little better because quite frankly I struggled a little bit and was afraid I was already hitting the wall! OHP 45x570x580x590x8 bench 85 5x10 5x4 pullups 1.75 mile sidewalk run. Scale not moving. Damn you cotton candy blizzards. I waited five years for your return and you come back during a cut. I can't stay mad at you cotton candy... you are like having a Koala bear crap a rainbow in my mouth. Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm."

Bullroarer Took Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Sore upper back/shoulder area today. I did more volume in pullups yesterday as a I started rearranging accessories. I think that may be to blame as I am stronger on my right side. hopefully that will self correct at some point. Could also be the mobility work I was doing (cat/camels and bird dogs) was done incorrectly. I just signed up for the Mini-Knobstone trail run in the 10k category. I run a 9ish k hilly trail run nearly every week so I am not that intimidated. But it's hours away and means my first look at the course will be that day. It may be much hillier and Imay need up having to walk vastly more than I do now. Right now on my 5 miler I walk about 3 minutes out of every 20, typically after a long hill. I did better this week when it was cooler so maybe by Sept 26th I can improve my pacing. Not really setting a time goal. Honestly the structure and social aspect of it is far more intimidating than the run itself. Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm."

Bullroarer Took Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Well, my gym just closed as of Monday and I have to go to a new one. I have pretty bad social anxiety and new is very disruptive for me. I really have to make myself go and I am taking something that had become fairly effortless motivation wise and turning it into a huge challenge for me. It's a huge barrier for me to cross. SO to help motivate myself I will pose some embarrassing shirtless photos to document my progress or lack there of and remind myself to mind my diet and still get to the new terrible gym. Bout 5# ago but looks the same to me. Really a photo from a haircut I just decided to flex. Quote "For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm."

Bullroarer Took Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 short recovery run... I think about 1.25 miles or so. Just enough to get some blood into my still sore legs. 5x10 squats always gives me some soreness. And get up early to go to the new gym. Got my key today... place didn't bowl me over but we'll see.

Bullroarer Took Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Slept in this morning and went to my "new" gym at 8:15. Overall busier, meatheadier, with worse equipment. Anywho Bench45x595x5105x3125x3135x7 OHP 45 5x10Cable low row 90 5x10 and I was uncomfortable and got the fuck out. I do not like change. Quote "For us, there is no spring.

Bullroarer Took Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Didn't get up and run when the alarm went off this morning, went way over calories today. I dd go ahead and do tomorrows lift today. Maybe I will still get up and do another but I doubt it. The new gym along with some work stuff and parenting/marriage stuff have all conspired against my gains! And losses! Squat45x595x5135x5175x3205x3230x6. Substantial pain in left knee on the 4th rep of this set. I have done 3x5 of higher weight than this. IDK if it was a new gym with new wracki, new bar and really different looking plates... was it all in my head ... anyway I really ground it out and it hurt through my deads deads, 135 5x1025# DB incline chest flys 3x1035# DB incline press 2x10 Quote "For us, there is no spring.

IDK if it is the new gym or what but my head is out of the fame Bench 85 5x10 2 mile run, forgot to time. My first run of the week when I typically ame over 10 miles by now.

Bullroarer Took Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well, got up and ran 2.57 in 27. I think I may end up missing my 4x/lift for the first time in 7 weeks or so. I have to do the paperwork to go to the new gym where my old gym was. This other gym isn't working out. But I just didn't get a chance to since Friday. I am still feeling like I have a summer cold. On the good side I have been much better on my diet this weekend and this morning I was at 146.4, a new low as an adult (maybe freshman year of college or so). This puts me 11.1 pounds from my target weight that I hope to make no later than November, but I am skeptical. This is just the point of BF thats hard for me to get under.

Bullroarer Took Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 First day back at my gym. Didn't get up when the alarm went off so I left work early. Not in my groove and forgot to max out my last set. Maybe that was fortuitus considering my schedule has been so off. anywat Deadlift 95x5135x5190x3220x3245x3 Probably had 5 in me... 5x5 dips 135 squat 5x10 may run later if it stops rainign Quote "For us, there is no spring.

Bullroarer Took Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Terrible night of sleep. SO no workout. Gotta get back into my groove now. But from being off I noticed DOMS in my chest and legs. The good news is I never realized all the muscles a full ROM dip hit. Gonna hafta back off on my 5x10 squats. I did it at 135, which is substantially more than the 30-40% of training max I should use. Gotta check the ego a bit more with putting some tiny plates on the bar. Quote "For us, there is no spring.

Bullroarer Took Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Still sore from squats and dips. But no rest for the wicked. Bench45x565x595x5115x5130x3145x5 Nearly shat on last rep OHP 50 5x1085# low row 5x10 went outside to run in rain 14:35 1.34mile to stretch those sore quads and hammies. Gotta watch my fork putdowns and table push aways today though. Looking back at July's 5/3/1 week I got 140x5 on that set. Although admittedly I would have probably stopped at 3 or 4 w/o a spotter.

Bullroarer Took Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Woke up with still sore hamstrings... squat 45x595x5 125x5195x5220x3245x3 ( I have done this weight 3x5 before but with the DOMS I felt unsteady and my form was sucking so I didn't wanna push it too far. I don't really know what a trap bar weighs... but I put a plate on each side to do my 5x10 Deads, the last 2 sets straight leg. 5x10 incline DB press with 35s 2ish mile run outside.
