High frequency 139: 3/26/19

So sore. So incredibly sore. Rest pause feels great, but im already seeing a couple of things:
- i need more protein
- i need to not be so fat lol. These past few weeks have not been healthy
- i need to manage recovery in a major way

Point1 is easy. Eat more god damn protein dude.
Point2 is simple but not easy. Get back on the fasting and keto train during the day.
Point3 is in the air. Methodology:
- running a 3 way split. Literally push/pull/squat
- Condition daily, rear delts daily, abs 1-2x daily
- get to sleep earlier
- take a day off when i feel like ass upon waking

Bright side that needs to be mentioned is my back feels great again! I have some pain management (not nsaids) for when i fuck up, but i think im good for the most part.

High frequency 134: kinda in discomfort

I cant win man. Weeks of ab exercises have helped to heal my back, but now im growing some inflammation around my adonis. Fuuuuuuck me.

Sex hurts less than it did a few weeks back. I think most of the pain comes from twisty positions and less from physical activity.

Dips 65x16
Pullups parallel 3x10
Band pushdowns
Rear delts

High frequency 133: 3/14/19 took a break

Holy fuck ive been tired. Every god damn year, plant jizz just wrecks me. AHHHHHH.

I restarted oly lifting today starting crazy light. It was still super hard. Both a little scary for my back, and it unveiled how bad my conditioning has gotten. Although my upper body is looking pretty damn good, the lack of lower body work has left my quads and glutes soft. It's all perspective, but i hate my legs and ass at the moment. I need them strong and fast to match my upper body.

High frequency 132: 3/5/19 back to some horizontal stuff

Returning to horizontal work reminded me a few things:
- this is a nice mental break
- horizontal presses and pulls can be done heavier and are easier
- my strength on horizontal goes up automatically the more i do vertical

Workout
Floor press 185x13,6,1
--best set ive ever done by 1 rep. Still not terrific, but a nice barometer of things to come
Cable row (1 arm) 140x19, 115x20, 115xpartialsx7

High frequency 131: amazing weekend. Thank you i feel terrible

I feel like a tank ran over me. My diet, sleep, training, and health have all retro graded weeks. I wouldnt trade this weekend for the entire world. Ive had vacations that were not this great. Every time i think about leaving st pete, weekends like this drag me kicking and screaming back into the fold.

Lets recount the events:
- ana left for nashville. Sad i didnt get to see her, but we texted/talked all weekend. It feels great to miss and be missed
- fri night ichicoro dance night. Friends all bailed by 11. I was having such a great time that i stayed for hours solo
- sat afternoon beach day, competitive volleyball, and acro yoga
- dinner party i was way too intoxicated to be at
- hot tub pt1 at dinner party
- hot tub pt2 at post dinner party dj party
- rough breakfast
- return to alexs pool. Set up a wook shantytown

The 'i just want to be better' commercials

Article summary: (stealing this statement)
An ounce of prevention worth a pound of recovery.

If i wasnt a slave to marketing before, i sure as heck am paying attention now. Commercials are not selling a product. They are selling an idea, a lifestyle, a paradigm shift. If only i had X, i could make progress, I wouldnt be in pain, she may fuck me, etc etc etc.

The commercials im thinking of specifically are medications geared towards the elderly and the odd 5hr energy commercial.

Elderly something something hurts
These are always somewhat similar. There are less talking heads than in commercials targeting a younger audience (Its a gamechanger, change your life, i cant live without it, who goes on a commercial to be a talking head CRAZY PEOPLE THATS WHO). More so, you will see the actor or actress doing something completely normal.
- Walking with their family
- eating at a restaurant
- pointing at things with grandkids. Lookie here...sonny?

When you are injured, and hurt, and depressed from said hurt, these normal things consume you. All i can think about is how good life will be when i can move and dance and fuck without pain. These normal things are worth everything.

To repeat: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of recovery.

Im doing now what i should have been doing for years.
- abdominal exercises. Daily
- forearm exercises. Daily
- stretching. Daily
- rear delt work. Daily
- neck strengtheners....not daily but a few times a week

Im about to become a mother fucking bullet proof expert, because ive seen both ends of the pool. The shallow end seems boring until you are drowning.

When do you get hurt? When you get complacent with your training. When you ignore you prehab. Most of all, when you think you can't.

Do your prehab. Do it often. It's not sexy, and it wont directly make you jacked and tan, but it is the key to long term health and stability. If you are hurt, you cant do normal activities or special moves
