Ok, So abandoning initial log. Hopefully this is more positive. Luckily, I can start off fantastically!
When I was lifting last time, I had always thought I should start all over again so here’s my chance.
Squats are full range. deads are narrow-ish stance, neutral grip.
Rode Saturday and Sunday. Missed weekly target by a couple miles. But looks fantastic from training load perspective!
Did up dose to both ride and recover. Sleep was better than it’s been! Well… " were it not that Ihavebaddreams ." But that’s par for the course. At least these bad dreams were constructive!
Sats ride was 24 m / 1362 ft.
Sundays was 23 m / 1040 ft.
Mon 5/8/23
5x5x 135 squat a2g
5x5x 135 dead’s
Will work up slowly…
For upper body 3x10 is working well. So I’ll keep it for a few months…
ROLLOUTS!
3x5 first time since torn ab/ artery. Going to stay at 3x5 for quite awhile. Only slight twinge. Not even pain, really. I’ve been using an electronic ab stimulator to try and reduce the strength loss. seems to work!
plans of mice and men…
went there thinking try 5@135,3@225,1@315…
Well first set of squats put an end to that… But all in all a really good lift! felt good with a little more mass on the bar. EGO’s gonna earn me a setback if I’m not cautious.
5/31
3x10@30 pullovers
3x10@30 shoulder press
NO ROLLOUTS!
3x10@30 incline
3x10@30 curl
3x10@30 bench
3x10@30 row
no shrugs (due to motorcycle crash I get golfers/tennis elbow in both arms… The inner one on my right is giving real troubles since dead lifts…_
Ok, Million Dollar Bike ride went well. Air cleared the day before.
But rib has been bigging me. It went out of place. X-ray shows 1 broken rib “bound” and the other broken rib unbound. Was able to get it back to default position so a lot less pain. Referred to thoracic surgeon.
6/21
squats
3x5x125 left quad (carpeted stairs, woolies, and a surfeit of cider) was pulled like 3 weeks ago made itself quite known… I had forgot about it given the other physical drama… Well, quad said 3 sets and no further…
I am switching my primary sport from riding to lifting. Medication changes have minimized the “waking up dead” to a degree still occurred but never where I it was too hard to move. I’m going to ask to double up on the strategy.
besides: I can see composition changes with the lifting such as it is… Likely due to being post human.
A surgery is in my future. Cat scan is Sat. initial appointment Tuesday. Of the 2 ribs broken in front… Bolt just the unbound rib or will they suggest bolting both broken ribs… We’ll see.
6/22
3x10@30 pullovers
3x10@30 shoulder press
2x5 ROLLOUTS!
Fuck Yeah! torn abb felt it, but well within good pain… which is why it was 2x5 not 3x5. But still. If I can pull this off every other lift… Use the abb zapper… maybe…
Still can’t believe I’m handling 3x10. Not to jynx it, but… famous last words… I’ve always had tendon/ligament/shoulder issues after a few weeks. Maybe due to post human status…Though I have been having golfers/tennis elbow issues, but that’s due to old motorcycle crash trashing those… but maybe I should consider my old faithful 5x5…
6/23
3x10@30 pullovers
3x10@30 shoulder press
no ROLLOUTS! A set too far! Discomfort, occasionally pain slips into the bad pain… It’ll heal in time.
3x10@30 incline
3x10@30 curl
3x10@30 bench
3x10@30 row
3x10@90 shrug
6/26
3x10@30 pullovers
3x10@30 shoulder press
No Rollouts… Pullovers which I think are really french press… put enough stress on blown abb… Not bad pain but maybe I misjudged earlier…
