Split Squats 4x6 - 6 6 6 6 Despite training very late in the day after an "interesting" shift, my squats were on FIRE tonight. Finished everything in 1 hour 15 min. EVERYTHING. Took the pooch on a 1.5 km hike before and after training, too. I had an amusing encounter at the pharmacy today. There's a new pharmacist who used to work out West with diabetics, and was much more knowledgeable than the local yokels. I learned that type 2 diabetes along with my medication means my blood sugars never really get "low", they just stabilize. It seems I have been shooting myself in the metaphorical food by eating the amount of carbs I had been. I went into this training session on little more than a few pieces of fruit and a scoop of protein powder. I bought a glucose meter to help me figure out what/when/why my sugars spike around certain foods and activities. She was showing me how it worked and proceeded to break 3 lancets on my fingertip, even though the mechanism was at it's strongest setting. Who knew a lifetime of manual labour made your hands tough? You know you're dealing with a longtime medical professional when I take out my pocket knife in a joking attempt to draw a little blood from my hand and she sternly said "That is NOT recommended".

The Battle Chef Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I have not been this sore from training in a very long time... D: I need to be more suspicious of good squat days. Could barely press an empty bar, tried doing some stretching but that was a no go as well, so I had a nap instead. 2 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

The Battle Chef Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 With the help of some friends and only a minor disfiguring injury, I have my gym floor 100% covered in stall mats. AND even though it's kinda cramped, I gots me a dedicated lane for (short) yoke walks and farmer's carries. Considering how disgustingly humid and rainy it is, at least I'll be able to use the damn yoke now. Also installed a dehumidifier, since the other day the ENTIRE INTERIOR was wet with condensation. Training day tomorrow. Yay. Just need to sweep up now... 1 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

It's still a piece of shit in the context that I drop a lot of things unintentionally. But it's not causing me pain or numbness any more and the scar tissue has broken up to the point where I hardly notice it any more. Grip heavy training isn't an issue any more. Tomorrow I should hit farmer's walks with 100#/hand. Thanks for asking. 1 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment

Today was a grind. In cheerier news, spring is always late in my area but it's in full swing today. Spring peppers were in full chorus early this morning. I watched the resident fox play with some barn swallows (there is a surplus of groundhogs, rabbits, muskrat and other rodents in the area so he wasn't bird hunting) Big fat ol' bumblebees buzzing around looking for flowers. Majestic eagles soaring in the sky. Groundhogs screaming at everything that moves by them. Trees are starting to bud finally. Farmers are spreading manure on everything so the dog is happy. 1 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment
The Battle Chef Posted August 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Summer sucked supremely. Need a hardcore respawn. Got to the gyn for the first time since early June. 4x6 KB press at 16kg 4x8 lat pull down at 100# 1.5km hike with the dog. I have zero focus or drive fitness-wise apart from "general health". Right now if I show up and get something done I am calling it a win. 2 Quote The Battle Chef's Log Link to comment
