Week 3: Day 4
Time: 27:45
3x50 w/40-60sec rests
14x(25kbs+10alt pistols)
Jump Squat: 6x(1j-25lb KB+5 unweighted)
That powerlifting life.
The training session never ends. It’s just sometimes the rest period is kind of silly long.
I’d imagine some powerlifters would need 40-60min rests if they attempted a 50rep set 
Week 3: day 5
Time: 32:45
1x(50-25-25)

Feel absolute crap this morning 
Might do something light light if I feel better
I feel good mentally but every thing is sore
Yoga!
If you need some advice on how to get started, I have just the thing! I’ll leave this here, just in case.
There is an app called Down Dog. Found it through @kleinhound s log actually and it is just fantastic.
They have two yoga offerings. One is the “normal” app which ordinarily costs money, but I believe is free at the moment because of the ongoing pandemic. They also have an “Intro to Yoga” app, but the former includes all the features of the latter.
If you get the “full” version you want to click an icon in the bottom left, it looks like a graph trending upwards. It’s right next to a house icon. This gets you into the “Journeys” section which, incidentally, is where you end up from the get-go using the intro-variety of the app.
There, there are three different kinds of yoga for you to be introduced to. Vinyasa, Hatha, and Restorative.
If someone is ordinarily physically capable and want to turbo-boost their way into yoga I recommend the following,
Day 1
AM: Hatha 1
PM: Restorative 1
Day 2
AM: Hatha 2
PM: Restorative 2
Day 3
AM: Hatha 3
PM: Restorative 3
Day 4
AM: Vinyasa 1
PM: Restorative 1 (looping back)
Day 5
AM: Vinyasa 2
PM: Restorative 2
Day 6
AM: Vinyasa 3
PM: Restorative 3
After which they can do the above on a loop, or use the full-version of the app and do 1-2 sessions at the Beginner 1 level before progressing to Beginner 2.
This would be a good way for you to do something physical but that actually counts as “active recovery” rather than more exercise.
Haha! my mom’s trying to get me to do it. I tried a 20 min flow… longest 20 min of my life
I ended up getting in an easy kickboxing workout- felt a lot better after
Week 4: Day 1

I’ve been craving raw meat and burnt stuff lately. I googled it and the most common response was protein deficiency, but I’m eating at least 90g/day (around 1g/lb of bodyweight)
Any ideas?
I never knew different cravings had different reasons!
I really hope cravings for pizza and beer mean I am deficient in pizza and beer! 
Isn’t german blood just beer? 
Damn are you saying I suffer from anemia? 
Gotta do something about that. Prost!
Does that 90g/day take into account that some proteins are incomplete and shouldn’t be counted gram for gram?
(bonus “tip”: when counting only adding up the calories from the main macros of a food is a convenient way to create a surplus. I.e. If you need 2500 calories to maintain, and you have a 40/30/30-macro split you’d sit down and plot out whole food sources (yams, rice, oatmeal,…) that add up to 200g of carbs, and then repeat the exercise with protein sources getting 188g of protein and finally again for fats. In the end you’ll have a surplus)
I feel the easiest way to check if this is the problem would be to “simply” increase your protein-intake (no other changes! You do not get to reduce carbs or fats) by adding a 6oz serving of meat, fish, or a suitably sized serving of cheese, cottage cheese, quark, or a couple of servings of yoghurt, kefir, and milk. Live with the change for 2-3 weeks at least.
I say simply because if I don’t misremember your kidneys are unhappy? I know one person that had to reduce their protein intake as a consequence of their kidney problems and he takes sodium bicarbonate to buffer the acidic load of their protein intake but you take in so much (too much) vegetables and so I don’t think this should be necessary. Conveniently(?), that’s CT. He takes 12-25g/day but he eclipses you physically and I don’t know how he arrived at those numbers and if it scales linearly.
I say conveniently because he is usually very responsive on his subforum if you’d like to inquire more.
It can have a reason. Sometimes a craving is just a craving.
No, I count the calories of “non protein foods” but not the protein. Ie. I’ll count 1/2 cup of oatmeal as 150kcal, but not factor in the protein into my 90g.
I don’t track macros, just protein and calories
I have the equivalent of 1 kidney
CT has kidney problems?
90g of protein doesn’t sound too low, at least it’s doubtful a deficiency.
But seriously though, if you’re craving something, just eat it. You’re probably just hungry, don’t limit your food.
I’m inclined to think you’re hungry, but have become so wedded to the idea that some foods are “good” and others “bad” that you crave only those deemed acceptable to the furtherance of your goals.
I always want meat- it’s the raw meat part that I’m confused about
