Just feel like a lazy fat ass right now. I know it's 100% mental but I just have zero motivation to do anything physical in nature. Forced myself to at least do something today which is better than nothing. Hopefully it helps me get out of this funk and back to more consistent training. BP: 5x5 SQ: ...

CAPACITY 4JAN23 (W1D3) Lowered my TMs on all lifts by 10lbs based upon being so miserable on D1. Gotta remember this is going to be a long process and I won't have all my gains super fast. Slow and steady progress is what I am reminding myself. Updated TMs: BP-165lbs SQ-180lbs DL-230 SQ: 5x5 @ 70% ...

First, thanks Adski for the recommendation. I got the book (a little late) and started Capacity last night. Definitely good stuff although I haven't read through it all yet! I probably should've slowed down a bit and really thought through the programming before starting and figured out my 1RM but I...

UPDATE: Well, it's been about 8 months since I last posted anything on my training log so I guess I am due for a short update. Long story short, I failed at TB and strength training in general, but I found a joy in running which was surprising. I signed myself up for my first marathon and started tr...

4/3: E LSS for 35-120min; ran 50:02, 4.59mi, 10:51 pace, 157bpm avg, 178bpm max - longest I've run in a looooong time. Didn't feel bad. Worst part was trying to keep my heart rate down while fighting the wind (40+mph tonight) and the hills. Made it work but would like to not spend as much time as I ...

BB Week 1 Day 3 & 4

3/30: Rest

3/31: E LSS for 30:00; ran 32:41, 3.04mi, 10:43 pace, 153bpm avg, 171bpm max

BB Week 1 Day 2 3/29: E LSS for 30:00; ran 31:39, 2.91mi, 10:51 pace, 150avg bpm, 170max bpm. Could've gone longer but figured I'd stick with the intention of the program. Did have to work to lower my heartrate a bit after a long downhill section. Felt good though. I am finding that I actually am e...

BB Week 1 Day 1 (attempt #2 or maybe 3) 3/28: Squat: 4x5 @75% - form was on point, strength was there and felt really good. Bench: 4x5 @75% - oh yeah, I have lost a shit ton of upper body strength. Like, I struggled mightily on that last set. I think me E1RM may be off so I'm going to adjust fire a...

BB Week 0 Actually got up off my ass and worked out this morning. Am going to start BB Strength-Focus next week but felt the need to do something/anything. After warmup sets did: Squat: 3x5 @ 142.5 (~75% E1RM). Squats felt good and I am glad I am taking it light and re-dialing in my form. It could ...

And we are covid positive. Thankfully symptoms have been relatively mild for everyone. I've been exhausted so I'm going to continue taking a day by day approach on working out.
