You’re probably the first person I’ve ever heard/seen say that.
Back before everything went kablooowie, I was going to recommend you get a bike. Last summer I did a big lap up from the south side, across town to the Point and back to the start. Unimaginably easy and fast compared to any other means of transportation.
It’s good enough for me. I enjoy walking so it’s not a big deal.
I really dislike biking.
Week 19: day4
Military Press: 1x(18+2regular stance), 1x(14+2regular stance), 1x(13+2regular stance), 1x(14+2regular), 1x(11 +2regular), all w/25lbs
Rows: 2x(8/side-45lbs+10kb halos-25lbs)
Seated press: 2x10/side-25lbs
3x(10kbs-45lbs+10burpees)
Conditioning idea: 3xamrap 4min of (10kbs+10burpees), 90sec rests btw amraps
You seem quite decisive on this, and maybe you’ve parried every argument against it but if you do end up wanting/needing one it’s a lot more convenient if you already have one. Having one opens up more possibilities than not having one, not just in your life or helping people around you (like driving your mother) but also let’s say there’s a job you want but they have driver’s license as a requirement so you can travel to things such as conferences or client meetings?
@Voxel
I don’t want to drive because there are too many rules to keep track of and requires coordinating a very large metal object. Same reason I don’t like biking- there’s a general lack of stability
Week 19: day5
Pistols: 1x5/side, 10x3/side- 45lbs, 1x(5-25lbs+5bodyweight)- was supposed to be a max set, didn’t get very many
RDL: 1x(10/side-1/side)
After reading a couple of logs, it looks like I’m seriously slacking on conditioning, will need to get back on it
You’ve deadlifted 3x bodyweight, so it’s not like you haven’t done this before hahaha
Stop doing this to yourself.
This definitely sounds like you’re anxious. You’re getting good grades in a high education. Believe me, you can handle traffic laws. No one can imagine how they’re supposed to navigate a car through traffic. That’s why you learn it. I for example thought it would be super difficult to constantly have you car stay in it’s lane (spoiler: It is not).
Stop reading those logs. Or stop interpreting stuff out of context because I can’t imagine there’s actually that many logs in which people do more conditioning (30+ k steps!!!) than you.
The other part of the context that’s important is how much those that are doing rigorous conditioning are EATING to be able to fuel that conditioning. Only focusing on one and not the other is unfair for all parties.
@anna_5588 since you asked in my log about conditioning/daily activity I believe that in a single day you eat up the entire allotment of easy conditioning that’s intended for the entire week.
How can you know how many rules there are to keep track of if you haven’t gotten your license?
100 % agree! I think the overall point here is that Anna is very selective in what she observes and takes away from something. You can’t have one and not have the other, @anna_5588
Week 19: day6
Military press: 5x12/side- 25lbs, 75-90sec rests
Seated press: 5x9/side-25lbs

Week 20: day1

35min weighted walk-45lbs
Some observations:
I would not be surprised if I’m 101-102
@cyclonengineer I’ve been prepping for my intro to pure math course next semester. It’s is really interesting! I never thought I’d willingly spend over 2hrs a day studying math over a break
Edit: forgot this one- I found a therapist I’m interested working with, however the office is closed until January 4th
You can.
Fixed it for you.
No. That wasn’t the sentiment I wanted to express.
I’m not comfortable giving you advice on sodium what with you only having one kidney. I’d prefer that you ask a doctor about what sodium intake is suitable for you. That does however require you being up front with your doctor about how much exercise and activity you engage in, otherwise you won’t get the right answer.
I’m not sure sweat alone is the reason active people have elevated sodium needs. Electrolytes do other things in the body than just go in, and leave through sweat. They have functions. The more you engage in stuff that demands their use, the more you need of them.
I’m going to guess, from a distance, that you feel better because your sodium intake is more like your sodium needs.
Your water retention can also be attributed to not being at a healthy level of body fat.
Repeated exposure to dairy has to be incremental as far as I understand it from a friend that has increased their lactose tolerance. Anyway, they had their process guided by a medical professional so I defer you again to seek doctoral aid or at least use enzymes when you indulge.
Wow- why didn’t I think of that
I’m in awe of your pushups and pistols!
Push-ups and pistols are easy when you’re a midget with good leverages
