Alright, new log, permanent home. My last log was an attempt to get “shredded”. I didn’t exactly get there, but there was a reason for stopping where I did. I put on a few pounds of needed fat at the end of the summer to have something to burn when the time came for that. The culmination of the log may have seemed a little secretive to some of you who followed along, as I disappeared for three weeks. Truth is, I attended a somewhat grueling selection process known affectionately to those who have taken part in it as the "School For Advanced Suffering". Now that that is out of theway, and I’m back to my “normal” schedule, it’s time for me to reevaluate my training, assess where I can get better, and make things happen again. As of about a week ago, I’m in recovery mode. For me, that basically means licking my wounds and doing what I can to heal them (foam rolling, lacrosse ball,stretching and a lot of food). For one,my feet are sore, real sore. We covered a lot of miles in a short amount of time with a moderately heavy to heavy load on our backs (sometimes up to +/-200lbs). By a lot of miles, my rough estimation would be somewhere around 200 miles in 15 training days. Average pack weight was somewhere around 60lbs. I also have a gaping hole just above my right ass cheek where I contracted an infection (cellulitis). Sucky but a small price to pay. Aside from that, I’m doing OK and plan to get back to business come Monday, or maybe sooner. My focus will be strength, my pack weight will increase to +100lbs.over time during my training marches and my runs will become consistently longer (up to 15 miles at a 630-7min pace). Most days will be weights in the morning and the evenings will be runs or foot marches. Diet will be relatively loose for a while as I put some of the weight back on that I lost over the past 3 weeks (approximately15-18lbs). Macros will still be decent and food sources will be mostly clean, but for now I want some ice cream, so I’m going to eat it. Supps will be pretty consistent. I haven’t taken ANYTHING since August 29[SUP]th[/SUP],and a very limited amount of supps for about a month prior to that. BCAA/SAA, fish oil, Active Multi, ALC/CLA, ON whey will be staples and PWO will rotate depending on workout type and how I feel on any particular day. Pure test will be thrown in the mix. Don’t expect to see any PH/DS here, as it doesn’t fit with my intended goals or outcome (sorry if this disappoints anyone, I have nothing against PH or DS). That being said, thanks for following, input, criticism, and knowledge. There will be food porn,there will be nudes, and there will be gheyness. Let the fun begin.

Brief leg session. My body is pretty broken down so gotta take it kinda easy.

Squats

135x12
135x12
135x12

Lying Ham Curls/Leg Extensions

100x12/100x12
100x12/100x12
100x12/100x12

One Legged Smith Squats

4 sets of 6 each leg

Box step-ups

22.5 DBs/4x10

24" box jumps

4 sets of 15

Spoke to a trainer buddy of mine this morning and discussed some training options. Looks like I'm going to focus on very high rep range with moderate weight. I am also going to incorporate timed AMRAPs into the mix, down the road.
In a nutshell, I'm not bodybuilding, I'm not x-fitting, and I'm not powerlifting. I really don't have a definition for my intent. The plan is to be able to move heavy shlt for extended periods of time, above all. An example is, I want to be able to knock out 40-50 BW pull-ups in one set (no kipping) by May. This should be fun.

functional strength training?
my all-time favorite - I just skew things with bb'ing friendly exercises so I can look good while I amass this improved/increased usable strength, typically with the intent of improving my sporting game strength

That's probably the best definition that would describe what I'm going for. Aesthetics will come with it, but functionality is the main focus. You're a smart dude.

Like I said, dick, my body is kinda wrecked right now. As a matter of fact, I'm going to the doc in about an hour and a half to find out if my foot is indeed fractured and what's wrong with my shoulder. Whenever you feel froggy though, let me know, and we'll go ruck 20+ miles for time and see who finishes first.

He always whispers hello before he puts it in. Duh.
Well I guess everyone knows now

I eat them for the healthy fats, or something.
Great logic

First things first; had my first serving of Stimul8 this morning. I've been waiting for this day for a while now, and since I was away at training, I missed the release. God damn, this stuff was worth the wait.

Timeline was as follows:

0641: chugged it down in two swigs (mixed 1 scoop with about 8oz cold water). Taste=good but not great. Tainted due to having brushed my teeth only 10 minutes prior. Will space them out a little better tomorrow morning.

0654: chilly feeling. Hard to describe. Best way I can put it is after you get a fresh haircut and feel the breeze on your scalp, it's that sort of cooling sensation.

0707: face, ears and palms itching. Damn. Already sweating and I just finished driving.

0710-0820: gym time. Shoulder focused workout. This shlt is extremely thermogenic. Didn't know I could sweat like this.

0942: decided I'll try a half scoop tomorrow. I've been stim free for about two months so 1/2 scoop should do the trick. Full scoop is a little much for me right now. Felt like yacking during DB OHP/KB swing superset.

Edit: I train fasted with the exception of BCAA/SAA so PWO is taken on an empty stomach. May take it with a piece of bread tomorrow.
