flat smith, lol. of all things. was scheduled to hit 385 x 10. first rep flew up like a feather and i just started cranking them out, slowly and with impeccable form (PL'er spotting me to make sure of this), but alas rep 4 was my doom. make a wet kissing sound followed by 3 internal thuds, that's about what it sounded like. one of the trainers 10 feet away heard it rip so i know it had to sound gnarly. the spotter almost sh!t himself as he saw it roll up in mid-rep. i picture it looking rather gruesome from his point of view. anyhoo, that was a month ago today and it's getting back slowly but surely.
anyhoo,
it seems to be working quite well thus far, dropped about a 1/2" on my waist this week and i've still got a few days left until the refeed. figured since i wasn't lifting today i'd take advantage and do some wind sprints this morning.
10 mins walk to the canal
sprint the marked distance - 28 secs (5 sec improvement from last week, haven't measured the distance but it's at least 100 yards)
28 secs
29 secs
30 secs
30 secs
32 secs
33 secs
33 secs
35 secs
33 secs
10 mins walk back
takes about 2 mins 15 secs to walk back after each sprint, take a quick breather and roll again. so a set is 3 mins total. maximum heartrate achieved was 204, with the average being around 180 directly after a sprint. by time i got back to the starting point, it averaged to around 130 or so. just ordered some recreate from USPlabs yesterday so i'll begin that as soon as it gets here. goal is set for july. that's 6 weeks almost to the day to get exactly where i want to be.
That elbow sounds really health, Beelzeboobs... really healthy! :fool2:nah, don't know much about that problem. my elbow gets tight whenever i do triceps and i have to straighten it out to the point where it pops a few times, then i'm ok to lift heavier, but that's about it.
kwyck, lol. yes, i'm aware of it being an issue, but it's nothing major. feels about the same as warming up prior to a run, once the joints get all lubed up, it feels just fine.
night, actually i love em. making an effort to add some fibrous carbs into the diet so i bought a big bag of broccoli today and going to dip that into the fat free cottage cheese ranch concoction from years ago. for those who aren't familiar, it's badass ranch.
Sounds delicious. Gotta try that out soon.lol, ok. for the ones that don't remember.
16oz fat free cottage cheese
3TBS of hidden valley ranch powder
skim milk to thin
blend til smooth
some of the best ranch i've ever had. high protein, zero fat. can't go wrong.
I'm gonna head to the badass ranch section right after I hit up the cherry cobbler section...So tomorrow I am heading to my local grocery to the badass ranch section. Wonder where I'll end up.![]()
I've just been busy with life in general. I sent you a couple of emails and PM's, but never heard back. Was wondering if the email was still good??? Anyways, I started a thread over in the General Section about my recent injury. I ruptured my left bicep tendon and looks like surgery is needed. Shoot me a PM with your email, I have some info for you. I don't want to hijack your log with junk...lol.good to see ya back cuffs. where ya been hiding?

Adaptation as opposed to ineffective? Was it successful earlier on? Was it effective just because it was happening at all? You follow me? Don't rule it out as a possible alternative again if and or when things stall.well, the running in the morning wasn't really accomplishing anything except making my workouts in the evening that much harder. fat loss wasn't any better or worse, just the same - so not really worth all the effort i was putting into it. been doing that for almost a month and i would think i would have seen some results by now, but i haven't......so it's time to change.
