Pre-corrective vision surgery training
PM WORKOUT
5 minutes jump rope
100 walking lunges (100 per leg)
5 minutes jump rope
50 walking lunges
5 minutes jump rope
25 walking lunges
Notes: Few minutes of rest between exercises. Iām meeting with my surgeon tomorrow to get my pre-surgical brief, and then surgery the next day. Iām sure activity is going to be restricted, so I wanted to do something intense to have something to recovery from. Iāve also been training the upper body every morning with bands. Finding all sorts of ways to make training happen with restrictions. I tend to function better in these environments.
No weigh in. Iām definitely dropping some weight on this trip. Traveling is always a good opportunity for that.

@oldbeancam Thanks dude. Looks like everything has gone well so far.
@mortdk Awesome dude! Good to have you as a reader.
PM WORKOUT
1013 push ups
20 push ups, every minute, on the minute, maxout on minute 50.
Notes: Return to an old deload week classic here. Iām in Denver CO, so elevation is higher. This was the easiest this workout has been, only feeling fatigue on the final 2 sets. Good to see the conditioning holding out.
Post surgery results are good so far. Iāve been corrected to 20/15 vision, so even better than 20/20. No pain or discomfort.

Yeah, I canāt do back to back sets of 20 on 30-40 sec rest.
@liftangryordie500 Itās something I built up when I was about your age in all honesty. Was always big on a daily set of push ups. Wanted to eventually get to handstand push ups, since I watched a lot of DBZ. Never had the balance.
@dagill2 and @Frank_C steal away. I forgot where I stole it from. I got the idea of 1000 push ups itself from āLiving with a SEALā, but that was done over the course of a day. Helps to really hammer them out fast. I was averaging 14 second a set through the process, so 46 seconds of rest. Yeah, it pisses off the online community when you do fast push ups, but when youāre going for 1000, you can have some slop, haha.

Is that a relevant factor in getting bigger and stronger?

I had a nice guffaw reading your most recent blog post when you mention something along the lines of āI donāt microwave fish at the office because thatād make me an assholeā. Some people are just so unaware of what theyāre doing to others haha.

@dagill2 You could probably build a pretty effective program by doing everything the internet says NOT to do, haha.
@mr.v3lv3t Glad you enjoyed it. The general inconsideration of humanity is one of the driving factors of my misanthropy.
LATE AM WORKOUT
Power clean/chin conditioning circuit
168lb clean for 1, then pull up for 10, then clean for 2, pull up for 9, etc. Minimal rest. Made it to on the cleans before I tapped out
Axle curl 88lbs
5x10
Superset w/
Band pull aparts
5x20
Notes: 4:00 between curls. That clean/chin workout was a total lung breaker. I think I have it in me when Iām not worrying about my eyes. Still sticking with the docās orders and not going heavy, which just means doing stupid stuff like this.
Woke up at 197.4. Going to keep riding this fat loss. Iām at that awesome stage in losing fat where I look smaller but I also look fatter because my glycogen stores are shot, so thatās cool.

It is but his form is trash while fresh!
Just kidding, @T3hPwnisher!
You have to watch the video!
He made it to 8 cleans and 3 pull ups.
@simo74 Looks like the keyboard cut out on me there. Made it to 7 on the cleans. Lungs were broken at that point.
@Frank_C youāre not wrong, haha. Iāve written about how one of the benefits of having awful technique is that itās the same technique when youāre fatigued.
AM WORKOUT
GIANT SET
Axle strict press-dips-DB lateral raises
10x136-22-10x15lbs
10x141-16-10x15
10x146-13-10x15
10x141-13-10x15
10x136-13-10x15
13x106-12-10x15
Band pull aparts
1x100
Notes: 4:00 between sets. Still staying with the docās orders. Got this idea from a Jon Andersen podcast. Was pretty effective, decent pump, but made sure not to strain.
Woke up at 198.0.

Iām gonna do this oneā¦ looks like fun. I want to eventually be able to do 150 consecutive without pause.
Without pause will be quite a feat. Iāve worked up to 400 before, but allowed myself to rest in the up position with 3 points of contact. Let me know how it pans out!

Doing things at which youāre inefficient is also a great way to burn extra calories and shed fat. Win-win!
