Solid workout but I am struggeling to increase the press movments for chest. But other exercises increased and with more food the presses will follow suit eventually!

My bench press has been at the plateau for awhile now and can't seem to get it to move. I agree more food would probably aid in that to increase strength.

Well ****!
So felt really good today, its warm and nice so i got a good weat warming up. Did everything like i alway do in preperation. Then on the second work set of leg curls BAM my right hammy pops. Fortunately it doesnt seem like it tore just got strained. But ****, stuff like that sucks. So it will be rehab for the hamstrings going forward. Ill just have to focus on quads and calves for a while.

But that isnt all... ive had some problems with my right big toe for a while. Its been inflamed and leaking all kinda nasty stuff. Ive figured its some kind of ingrown nail or something. Well, when i pulled my hamstring i ofcoruse rleased the weight fast and SLAMMED my bad toe into the edge of the machine... So i felt something happen whith my toe and the pain there was worse than the hamstring. But i refused to take my socks off before after the workout... The picture ive linked under is NASTY, so dont click it if you know you are squemish.

Messed up toe

So basically the nail came off and it looks like it was allready on its way as the new nail has already started growing beneath.
Hopefully this means that my toe will not hurt like a mother anymore. So maybe the hamstring was worth this happening. We will have to see!

There's gotta be an easier way to fix your big toe rather than pull a hammy!;) Hope a speedy recovery with resting the hamstring will get you back doing leg curls!

So because of my hamstring I had to adjust my exercise choices. So no bent over row movments as they load the hamstring. Luckily we have a bunch of row equipment at the gym and when doing them this way the stretch and squeeze gets extra focused. So i actually had one of the best back workouts in a while.

My Whoop impressed me again as found out that i had injured myself and that my body was working hard to heal it self. So recovery score was poor.

Awesome workout, had some minor strength gains on everything even the pressing movments for chest.
Substituted the French Press for the Pushdown for my elbows sake and got a MAD pump.
I even could push myself on the leg movments without any hamstring pain.
My fucking toe though, what a mess!

I've hurt my toe before as well and you don't realize how much you use your toes in everyday moment and walking until you hurt it.

Weekly Report 07. June - 13.June
Week 14 M-Test

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

205808


On Saturday I had my first extra treat on 6 week. A new Ben&Jerry flalvor came out in Sweden and we wanted to try it. Its called Chip Happens and ill give it a 3/5. I didnt really taste the chips, but the chocolate was good as it always is. I had like 2/3 of it, so a little extra calories there.

Body Composition:
(Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)

205809


Weight jumped up quite a bit this week, but im guessing its water etc from getting injured. I do see I have less low days than usuall. So we will have to see if this means my bodyweight is stabilizing, which i wouldnt be against at all!
One funny thing is how my scale all of a sudden told me my bodyfat was 8,2% on Sunday haha. Thats why you should never trust scales like this.

M-Test Week 14:
Now that im eating a little extra food M-Test probably will shine even more.
Looking forward to some strangth gains!

Weekly report:
Man I was bummed when i pulled my hamstring, i really thought it was serious. Luckily now a week later the pain is almost gone. BUT im being careful with putting strain on it.
The toe is a bit worse, but it is much better. I had some kinda of infection in it before it happened. So when i busted it open it kinda "freed" the new nail underneath. So it has slowly gotten less infected and less sore.​

I've had a hard time lately getting long posts to post; I've had to break them down into smaller ones. I'll email the admin to let him know; I'd been meaning to for about a week now.

Leg training is almost back to 100% after my hamstring pull (and ripping the nail of my toe). Im still careful with direct hamstring work, especially hip hinge stuff like RDL. But all pressing etc is back 100%.

Yesterday we celebrated my fiances birthday (big 40) and we went out to eat. I has this amazing Bibimbap & Yakitori Bowl. Plus some ice cream and a couple of protein bars.

So maybe a total of 5000 kcal that day. But that was enough to make my Whoop think I was dying. I woke up with 1% recovery which is pretty much unheard of. Its like it thought i was dying or something! But I had a great workout today and ony thing i noticed from the eating was some dehydration and gas!

EDIT: So the forum wouldnt even let me post this post with the pictures embeded.

That bowl looks good right about now! "A couple of protein bars" reminds me of Furious Petes mega protein bar eatting challenge. If you haven't seen if you'll have to check it out. I think he ate probably 30+ quest protein bars.

Yeah i cant imagine. Like, this weekend was a national holiday so i ate my regular food plus other stuff and even though i tend to have a sturdy stomach Ive been pooping and farting all weekend. It doesnt feel good at all and eating challenges should be way more taxing than that.

Fortunately the hamstring is as good as new, i started loading it a bit this weekend and so far so good!

If you are a data nerd then the Whoop is really insightful and fun. BUT you have to be able to step away from the numbers and still think and feel for yourself. Ive read many stories about people that wake up feeling great, then they see a low recovery score and start feeling exhausted and bad because of that number.

Week 16 M-Test

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

206219


This week was a special week. On Tuesday my fiance turned 40 so we went out and ate asian food and then we had a bunch of protein bars at home. The weekend was a national holiday here so we went on a picnic on friday and saturday we had some ice cream. So the week was amazing but i did eat a bit extra.

Body Composition:
(Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)

206220


So weight is up a bit because of the extra food, no biggie. But look at the body fat measurments, a couple of weeks ago it had me at 8,2% at a slightly lower weight haha. Just goes to show, you cant trust those things at all.​

So even though my sleep performance was good this week my recovery was really poor. This was because of the extra food, it makes SUCH a big impact on my recovery its wild. It makes me never wanna eat outside the diet again haha. 1% recovery is almost unheard of.​

Monthly Report June 2021

This month i unfortunately had a minor injury and I also had some treats. So lets see how that affected my body.


206294

206295


Second month in a row where i improve my sleep performance. But taking a little hit on restorative sleep. The reason for that will show itself pretty soon.

206296


Apparently my workouts are causing me less and less strain even though im pushing hard. Maybe im getting fitter!

206297


Ok NOW we are into the meat.
The last whole week of june i had 3 days in the red. These are because of extra food. We celebrated my fiance and we celebrated Midsummer. So i ate all my regular food, but also had extra.
The 2 red earlier in the month came from when i pulled my hamstring and tore a nail off my foot.

206298


This looks great, the darker the better! Means im getting close to optimal amount of sleep all month!

206299


Ok, time for the JOURNAL and boy is it a good one.
They added some new questions to it this month which means its even more detailed.
"Late Meal" is what ive used as my refeed log, and as you can see it tanks my recovery.
"Added Sugar" is new and i dont eat sugar on the saily. So the second i eat an ice cream or something else sugary I will be logging that one. -40% recovery is insane.

206300


This is a terrible reading. I expect the injury has a lot to do with this and hopefully it will bounce back next month.

So we have about 1kg weight gain here. But this is not true weight gain as im still holding water from last weeks extra food.
The lean bulk is going great and im probably up around 400-500g which is perfect.

PLANS FOR JULY

So we have seen that avoiding all treats, sugar etc is the absolute best from a performance and body composition stand. But I have to say being that strict does diminish my life quality.I get a big sense of accomplishment when I manage to keep it that strict. But not eating out with my family or just going to grab a ice cream with my kids is way to restrictive.

So I will keep the calories etc as they are, but ive told my fiance that I want us to have a sunday lunch together each week. Try out places we havent eaten at, just relax and enjoy life together. I will try to NOT loose control like i tend to do when i eat outside my diet and rather enjoy ONE meal and stop it there.

I will do the same if something more spontanious comes up. Eat some but not clean out the restaurant, fridge, store or whatever the case is haha.​

What an AMAZING workout! I really felt great on all exercises.
My achilles is still messed up but im working hard to get some size back on my calves. I think it looks like its working, but my puppy doesnt look to impressed.

I gotta say im getting a bit bored these days. Im really looking forward to trying some of @sns8778 new releases when they come out. I am considering maybe doing another Anabolic Effect run, but ill hold out a couple of weeks and see if something fun comes out by that time.

EDIT: Ok my boredom took over and I put in an order with SNS and theire 4th of July sale.
Ive found a site called ShopUSA that gives me an US adress where they reship it to Sweden from. They apparently are experts with customs etc so I should be getting all my good and at a lower shipping cost. We will have to see how it goes!

I got some really good stuff so I really hope it comes thru.

Week 17 M-Test

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

So this sunday I did what i mentioned in my Montly Report, which was take a post workout lunch with my fiance. But instead of going all out I ate a meal, tried to figure out its caloric content and removed some meals to weigh up for it. So it became a sort of IIFYM day.
It worked pretty well as I today woke up with a very high Recovery Score on my Whoop, so that might be the key. Also, not eating it directly before bed, but during the day.
The food was awesome as well! I had Chicken and Waffles (not something you find usually here) and some Fried Oreos for desert!

The weight spiked a bit this week from last weeks eating. But i expect it to come back down this week.​

The workouts continue to be amazing! I switched up some exercises today, some ive never done and they all felt great. The multigrip bar is an awesome tool I havent seen in any other gym.

My recovery score wasnt the best today, im guessing because it is hot as hell at night. But that didnt stop me from killing it.

It would probably say things like - 'WTF' 'Are you dead?' and when it came to recent blood pressure, something like - 'hey, only one persons reading at a time' haha

So legs are still a struggle because of my achilles innflamation. But on the bright side i can load my hamstring without feeling anything now. Im still taking it slow, but its like nothing ever happened.

My recovery score was suprisingly high today. It was really hot and humid during the night and it never dropped below 29 degrees celsius in my bedroom. But hey, ill take it. WHOOP also added some new supplement tracking options in their Journal. So one can track Creatine, Vit-D and other basic stuff.

If you are into data then i can absolutely recommend it. It IS more targeted at those who train more cardio type of training, but ive found the recovery aspect to aid me tremendously. Just today i found a new site that pulls data from a bunch of trackers and sites and puts it into a system. I have just started looking at it and its insane. Here is a screen, i dont even know what im looking at yet. Its called habitdash.com

That's pretty slick! I'm an engineer by heart so I'm a data nerd and combing it with fitness/health related items gets me more excited than it should.

So my weekend workouts are long, probably too long for most. But i feel as long as my energy is still there at the end and im making progress, i can stick with it. If i were to feel fatigue or performance issues id back down. But so far so good!

My weekend workout time length is probably 1.5x my weekday workout time length. That's what weekends are for is to take things a little slower than usually for your workout and outside your workout imo.

Solid week of sticking to the plan again.
Sunday we went out for lunch and i ordered some grilled toast.
It tasted good but it was like 2 mouth fulls, so not alot of calories. They didnt have any deserts there either!
So I had to eat an extra of my normal meals to make up for what i was missing.

Weight has now come back down to where it was before out midsummer celebration.
This means that I havent increased my weight now in 4 weeks.
So im giving it one more week and if weight still stays the same i will increase my calories.

Woke up pretty groggy this morning which always happen when its foggy outside. But i got a GREAT workout in and everything just felt great. I think my recovery is to blame as I have had 2 days of 99% recovery and today showed 96% recovery. Ive not had such a streak since i started using my Whoop, so thats very cool!

Im still not pushing much weight on my leg workouts because of my achilles and my hamstring pull. But the volume is slowly increasing and im definitely feeling it by the end of the workout.

Broke my green streak with my recovery today! I take that to mean that my workout yesterday took a toll on the system because my sleep stats looked good.

Pull days are my favorite day of the week! I could keep these going for hours and hours haha.
Felt good today, made some good rep PR's and kept the pace high.

Recovery was down today, HRV was really low. Ideally this is how the curve should look as its my third day of working out in a row. Tomorrow is a rest day, which then should bring the recovery back up for saturday. It doesnt always work out that way though haha.

EDIT: Seriously.. why could i insert the picture on my post on tuesday but not on the one yesterday and today? This forum software needs a serious overhaul.

I'm like that with shoulders or chest. I feel like once I get the pump going on either of those muscle groups I can keep going for a while. May have to lower the weight but could chase the pump all day.
