Freak's Training Log

Maybe you should, no real reason not to.

Honestly, it is just anxiety and because of that I will always find an excuse not to.

which ones are you fishing for boss?

We target crappie, but catch just about everything. Crappie go in the box and everything else goes back in the water.

Had a rough night last night. I went swimming yesterday and I started cramping up pretty bad. I took some electrolytes and pounded the water until I went to bed, but ended up waking up at 11:40 and my body was locking up pretty bad (lower back, legs, traps and neck). When I tried to stretch my lower back and legs I just got shooting and burning pain up and down my legs and back. I took a muscle relaxer, but by 1:30 nothing was better. I thought about going to the hospital, but luckily I never throw any medicine out and had some oxy that I never took following my shoulder surgery. I popped one of those suckers and 10 minutes later I was pain free and could move just fine. Went back to sleep and slept until 6:00.

Neutral grip lat pull down (2) feeder sets, 260 lbs x 10/220 lbs x 5/180 lbs x 7 (drop set)
Hanging lat stretch 30 seconds x 2 (forearm pump was too much to do 60 seconds straight)

I think it is a mineral/water imbalance. It has happened to me in the past a couple times. Each time I can recall I got caught up in doing something that was labor intensive and did not hydrate or eat like I should have. Couple that with how intensely I train and it hits you hard. I am still having some after effects. Lower back, hips, legs and neck are super tight with a little discomfort. I think I am skipping legs tomorrow.

 

[genetic freak]

The lower back and hips are still a bit tight, so no hinge movements today for legs. Kind of sucks, but I am not going through that crap again.

Memorial Day weekend is always rough for me. I suffer a lot of survivor's guilt, having been a leader making decisions that essential cost Marine lives. I try and stay busy AF to keep my mind off of it, but I also end up missing meals and supplements and my water intake is way down. Today's workout suffered a bit, because of it.

Forgot to post yesterday's workout.

Leg press (6) warm up sets (Last set was 28 plates for 12. I wanted to do 20, but my quad started acting up around rep 6 and no matter how I adjusted my feet it didn't get any better. Figured it was better to bail out than to push it any farther and risk injury.)

SLDL stretch 60 seconds
Leg extensions (1) feeder set, 250 lbs x 18/8/5 (15 breath rest pause between working sets.)
Quad stretch 2x30 seconds (pump was too great for a full 60 second stretch)
Smith machine overhead extensions (4) feeder sets, 155 lbs x 18/11/6 (15 breath rest pause between working sets. Way better than doing it with a big ass dumbbell.)
Band tricep stretch 60 seconds
Hammer curls (4) warm up sets (Wanted to make this my working exercise, but my elbow sucks right now. When I am pain free I can do 85-90 lbs dumbbells. I am in pain at 40 lbs right now.)
Adductor (2) feeder sets, 270 lbs x 12 + 3 partials
Abductor (2) feeder sets, 270 lbs x 3/225 lbs x 8 + 4 partials (I thought I was ready for 270 lbs, I guess not.)

Band bicep stretch 60 seconds
Hammer strength seated calf raises (2) feeder sets, 6 plates x 30/4 plates x 20 (30 second calf stretch after each set.)

Today was a f**king struggle. I dropped the clen and started ephedra on Monday and yesterday I ended up skipping two meals on accident. The most damaging being my last meal of the day. Ephedra really crushes my appetite and if I don't remember to eat, I won't. Anyways, I woke up looking flat as shit. No vascularity, muscles looked small, etc... I didn't put two and two together and just had my morning shake then went to the gym. By the time I finished dumbbell rows I was going hypoglycemic. Lost focus, cold, sweating, weak, etc... I always have a homemade protein bar in my bag, so I ate half then did a couple sets on the machine pull over. It still wasn't hitting hard enough, so I ate the rest. After about 15 minutes I was good to finish my workout. I just skipped out on pressing for shoulders. I don't think it would have went well.

Incline dumbbell fly (4) warm up sets
