MIA again but I’ve been lifting.

Aug 2nd, 2018
Did a “class” with people I work with. I’m not usually into these types of things, but I was invited and it was a good time. Lots of gimmicky circuits, but it definitely taxed my lower body pretty well.

That was it, pretty shit workout. I should stop going on Sunday’s, I can’t remember the last time I actually had a good Sunday workout.

Overall progress has been good! Been eating well, working on my mobility which is improving a little bit. I look and feel a lot leaner as well.

Going to do a long walk tonight for some active recovery, then it’s Legs tomorrow.

Didn’t have a workout planned, but did 500 pushups over the course of the day as part of a “challenge” my friends and I were doing. It really wasn’t that hard at all.

car accident at night. I’m ok but back was stiff and twisted after. Lots of chiropractic work and some taking it easy, I should be back in there tomorrow (Sunday).

Cardio
45 mins of LISS after a massage for my back. Apparently my hip external rotators and TFL and piriformis are a mess. Gotta work on that.

Note with work/business/car accident I’ll admit I lost a little focus here. Got loose w the diet, was sedentary for like a week there (usually super atypical for me).

Going to push it until Christmas and see where i’m at. Using it as a short term benchmark, a Christmas gift to myself to come in and get momentum into the new year. Let’s get it.
