Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[KalKal]

What's everyone mile looking like?
I'm trying get to 8 minutes or less by October

I haven't tried to actually push myself for a 1 mile in a straight line for a while, but since a random stranger asked about it on the internet I gave it a shot on Friday evening:

Yall ever heard of this before?

No but I like it

I drop to ~2000kcal on my cuts... target weight is ~165-170... math checks out

I been on a calorie deficit and I noticed when I stand up too fast I get light headed.

Am I eating too little? Or what am I lacking in my diet?

I typically eat Chicken breast and salad in a seaweed wrap daily with very little changes except a piece of fruit every once and a while.

I damn near have to force myself to eat because I don't really get hungry.

I’m doing the 100 pushups in 100 days challenge. At the end of my second month basically(started on June 5th). So something interesting happened this weekend. I been on the Keto diet practically all year . So I been doin the challenge and basically all my workouts and cardio on a ketogenic lifestyle. I had my first cheat day this weekend and it all you those 100 pushups were effortless. Typically it takes me about 7 minutes to do my hundred. I start out my first set until I tire(usually around 35-40 push up) and then I do sets of 12 until I get to 100. That usually takes about 7 minutes. Well over the weekend since I was doing my cheat day and was getting plenty of carbs I bust out a 100 pushed on Saturday and Sunday in 4 minutes tops. 3 and half on Sunday. I fukked round and did another set of 100 Sunday for a total of two hundred on sunday5. That’s shyt was almost effortless. You nigguhs doing carbs got a cheat code. I feel like Goku working in 300x’s gravity doing my workout on Keto. I’m alter my schedule and put on Of my heavy lifting days on a weekend when I cheat. See how this turns out

One thing I notice is my body didn’t look as good at the end of the day on those cheat day(despite busting out the pushups nor effortlessly) as it dose during the Keto lifestyle . I guess when I have those carbs in my system I need to push myself a lot more harder.

This might be common sense to y’all vets but for me it was a revelatory observation

My absolute favorite weather conditions while running outside are after rainfall. The air is misty and filled with much more oxygen. Plus, the scent of nature is

Imma hit that wet pavement as soon as I leave work...

Fruits or trail mix (the healthier ones), but don't overindulge

Is it possible to do legs with knee pain? I haven’t done any in a month because of this but I want to get back to it

Every time I do leg presses I get a sharp pain in my right knee on the first set. I wear a brace and it still occurs. After the first set tho it gradually goes away so to a answer your question for me it does.

I only do 4 leg workouts tho and traditional squats ain't one of them.

Hit Legs today did 6 Sets of Squats worked my way up to 445 Pounds, In my powerlifting days I got up to 550, slowly working my way back up. I'm a 42 year old man hanging with the young bucks. And I hit the gym 5x a Week and do Brazilian Jiu-jitsu 2x a week

 

[The Villain]

Finished up summer soccer with 2 games tonight. Showed up early just to hang out and got pulled into a game on a team short of players. I can tell my cardio and pacing has come a long way at least being able to play the whole game.

Next batch of games starts mid September so I have some time to really step it up on cardio to be able to play how I need to play for us to be successful. This season was probably our best team yet, and comfortably the best in the league but everyone wanted to play offense and go for highlights rather than play as a team. Which is fun in its own way but we could’ve easily went undefeated instead if people would just fill a role. I throw myself in there too as part of the problem because I’m used to being the main offensive conduit.

That first game was really illuminating playing with folks that just stuck to their roles and I got in with them like I’d been playing with them forever. Probably helped that they had made the perfect platform for me to do my thing offensively

Gotta find some runs in the next few weeks to keep the rust away. And get used to playing defense and dictating the tempo rather than being the finisher
