That sure is a lot of work. Been thinking of adding in box squats too but still up in the air if I want to.
I haven't figured them out yet... I'm adding them hoping they'll work sorta like block pulls do for deads but I'm not really sure what I'm doing.

total time was around 30 minutes. What cracked me up is the last round with the empty bar took as long as the first round with 95lbs. I'm out of shape but that was a good little workout.







Sounds like a nice relaxing weekend is in order.
yeah I think I went too hard for too long again. Back was really killing me over he weekend so I basically took a break until monday afternoon.

What do you do that works for the plantar? I've had it REALLY bad in one foot for about the last 3 weeks and the regular suggestions to help aren't helping at all. Takes me a good 10-15 minutes walking around getting ready in the morning for it to be bearable. Eventually does go away though, but comes back with a vengeance the next morning.

Better shoes + rest.
I believe better quality shoes made the single biggest difference. I also put insoles in my boots and just really babied them.

I had tried fish oil, ibuprofen, rolling out my foot on a water bottle that was frozen (so basically rolling out your foot on ice), calf stretches, etc and all of these things may have helped a little. plus my ex wife would really kneed the heel and try to help in that way too. but in the end the things that helped my foot were an extremely cushy training shoe, better foot care and rest for my feet. I stopped running for a little while and replaced shoes more frequently.

Right now, I believe the only reason my plantar came back is because I fell down some stairs and landed with my heel, right at the plantar pain point, on the edge of a step with all my body weight, so I really F'd myself on that silly maneuver. however, I think high quality shoes are the road to recovery again.

Makes sense. My doc has told me that my single biggest issue I have against me is that living in South Florida I'm in my Reef sandals 99% of the time.

I 100% believe that. I notice that I get minor flair ups during flip flop season. I tend to prefer sandals from about end of May till late Sept myself. I hate to say it but you might rotate in good quality tennis shoes 50% of the time, and invest in higher quality flip flops if you can with more padding. I have experienced this same issue from sandals.

Tough choice... If I give up the sandals, I have tan lines.. if I don't, I have plantar fasciitis. LMAO.

Hey man, I get it.
My GF is 10 years older than me and was cracking up this summer as I was fully "dad'ed" out. there were days where even on a sunday trip through the city to go pub crawling or whatever I was wearing all "practical" dad clothes..... I guess age. lol.

well I've been pretty bad about logging workouts. In fact, this is probably the first time since about 2011 that I've missed logging a workout. On Oct 11th, we went to vegas for a wedding for a few days, then last week slowly started working back into life. I also made an offer on a gym, which was accepted.... so in theory, I may own a gym in about 5 weeks if all goes well...

I'm getting slowly back into a strength cycle. I hit back squats 245 x 5, then 250 x 5. But last night I had to call it at 245 x 1. I think this is largely due to poor nutrition (not enough calories), zero supplementation, and lack of practice. It will bounce back quickly I'm sure. last night:

snatch
95lbs x 10
115lbs x 5
135lbs x 1
155lbs x 1

135lbs x 2 x 5

deads
135 x 10
185 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 1

back squats
135lbs x 5
185lbs x 5
225lbs x 1
245lbs x 1

wod
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of:
95lbs hang squat cleans
pull ups.


notes
like I mentioned, squats were weak as hell but I'm not that bummed. I was super tight in the back pain area and way under calories lately. dropped from 189lbs to like 178 so it's just a matter of getting back into the right routine.

That was a great wod. I stole it from a local crossfit box. a buddy of mine and I are working on programming since we should be doing it full time and we are testing workouts from local boxes to see what we like and don't like. This wod was one of those that really wrecks you. it was good.

on the negative, the lower back right at the illiac crest ****ing killed me. that was a rough squat workout. pain went away during the wod though.

So I have a guy who will be managing the gym and doing hopefully most if not all of the programming so I've been having him write 1 hour sessions and use himself and me as the guinea pig this month to see how it's going. Honestly I'm liking it. Strength focused athletes will go a different route than we are, but this is going to be good programming I think for general fitness, increased work capacity and conditioning.

warm up
PVC pass throughs
10 x PVC overhead squats
10 x pushups
3 rounds


bench
95 x 15
135 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 5
225 x 3s x 5r
205 x 5

wod
12min amrap of:
100 battle ropes
10 x 60lb kb swings
10 x push-ups
5 rounds complete + some ropes

those battle ropes are gnarly. I've never really done them before but they're good.



How is buying the gym working out?
So far everything is still tracking. We had submitted registration for my LLC last week but it was too similar to the name of another company so we have to resubmit that today, that's a few day delay, but everything else should be moving ahead OK. working on a deal with the landlord, the bank is just about done. I think the only real thing I'll have left is the insurance and with any luck... move in december 1st!

then I need to get my accountant to help me with a lot of little details I haven't had to do in years, like payroll etc. I had set that up for our business back in like 2002 but these are things I haven't even had to think about in like 15 years so I have to relearn a lot of it lol.

thanks!!

So I've been having the guy who's going to manage my gym write programming and treat me like a student so he can get more practice and I can get a vibe for his programming. It's pretty solid, although leans to the brutal side. effective though.

So yeah, closed on the new business on Friday! Took the day off to process paper work, sign legal stuff etc. Saturday spent half day at the gym meeting coaches and members. Sunday we had a little champagne toast / celebration there. Then Monday put in a 15hr day at the gym getting basics going. That was brain frying. But, fast forward a few days and things are starting to sink into a groove.

A gym?! Man, I've been away too long. That's awesome.
I'll give you two guesses to as what kind ;) lol
Where you been???? Any recent axe fights in the woods?

I am happy to have hit the 230 x 5 on the power cleans. My old PR was I think 260 or so and I've been adding 5lbs a week lately there. tonight will be squats/legs and a metcon with the fiance. I need to get serious about my power lifting and not just maintain.

One of my more organized chest/shoulders days from the past year. slowly getting back into the groove. I dont' remember the last time I used a stair climber or treadmill. Maybe not at all in 2019.

Sinking back into the routine. I know how to do this, just had to create some habit. Strong caloric deficit is causing some exhaustion but things are going the right direction.

Squats
bar x 10
95 x 10
135 x 10
155 x 5
175 x 5
185 x 10

WOD
4 rounds
500m row
400m run
10 burpee box jump overs
20 cal bike ride
time: 33:59

Wanted more squats but was just exhausted so I'll make up the missing leg day this weekend. Glad to have that sweaty wod, and between cleaned up nutrition and hard work, bodyweight headed the right direction:

weight
181.5


I'm not going to worry about ramping calories back up at all until I hit 178. Then I'll balance things out a bit more to protect/maintain muscle mass and redevelop my severely missing strength.
