SHG prep:
Strict Log: reps in a minute: 155x8
Notes:
- moving back work to tomorrow. My biceps and upper back are shot
- Worn down from long day of class so I just did a minimum here
- Getting use to pressing while bent back. My old PR while peaking log was 175x1 so not touching log in a while and getting 155x8 is very good Iād say
- Video coming
- Old dog is back to walking. Iām not going to act like it is not hard on me. Itās very hard on me. The vet even said āitāll be time when he just stops doing stuffā so when a bad day hits itās more of an āoh shit is this itā moment

Ended up not doing anymore lifting today but I did think about how Iām training events:
Mast carry- yoke carry
Car deadlift: dual landline
Cross carry: zercher carry
Sandbag power stairs: using comp weight load 4 times on one bag over yoke, move to next load 4, move to next
Anvil lifting: plate from floor to overhead
Log carry: run with that caber I have
Block press: suitcase with sandbag in it
Obviously this is at my main gym because Iāll have access to more implements at other gym. Just laying it out more clearly for Saturday

Sandbag press: 150x3 200x I spent 30 fucking minutes trying to get this. Canāt seem to get hands under the bag enough to be able to push press it
Notes:
- calling it for today because of how much event shit I have to do tomorrow and that took it out of me
- Iām an idiot lmao
- The 150 moves fine but the jump to 200 is just too much. Itās a technique and strength issue

Events day:
Yoke: work up to 600x35ft (PR! Last time I did yoke I hit 550 for 50ft with a lot of drops in August and I was training a lot of yoke so 5 months ago)
Sandbag load: 175x4, 3 rounds
Anvil lifting: KB (2 min) 35lbx33 reps, 50lbx30reps
Notes:
- holy shit on yoke. Iām happy with that. No caffeine in my system and 1 protein shake
- Also I did notice with 500lbs I can get away with sloppy steps. Not with 600lbs

Iām sitting here in my college level health class and had a realization. Classes like this giving out shitty information that can be cleared up with a quick google search are a problem. For example, we are talking about the sleep cycle and had everything lumped into ādeep sleepā. He then mentioned atonia WHICH IS DISTINCTIVELY A PART OF REM. The reason this is weird is because heāll mention basic anatomy but wonāt break down sleep cycles deeply (like non-rem, rem, etc.)
Last week we had a registered dietician come in. After listening to her for 2 days, I see why people do not know how to eat and it makes me more thankful for @QuadQueen
Overall, I have to come to this class to see what answers he wants, which is bullshit because they are just inaccurate

Sadly, this is an incredibly valuable āreal lifeā skill.

You have to play the game. You obviously know that by now. I went to a course for a college credit for my re-accreditation. It was labeled a nutrition course. The woman was a plant for the Bright-Lines diet. I lasted one class.

I kinda look at it from a philosophy lens. Even if you donāt agree with it, itās VERY valuable to understand what, how and why other people think the way they do. It allows you to meet them in the middle was far as dialog goes, which can allow you to better communicate your own point and reach an understanding.
When you assume everyone thinks and knows the same things you do, miscommunication is too easy. You may tell someone āeat a lot of proteinā and feel like youāve communicated your point, only to discover that, to them, āa lotā means 20 grams, and āproteinā means āhot dogsā.

You wouldnāt believe what I had to say and do to become a physiotherapist over here my friend. I am not sure itās to laugh or cry about.

@T3hPwnisher I think the philosophy lens idea is a good one. Itās for sure one of those āI know what he means but thatās not what heās sayingā situations that I only imagine would be harder on someone who doesnāt know the actual information. For example, he said āLEDs block melatonin productionā. Yes LEDs have blue light that messes with your sleep cycle which means blue light is that actual issue. If someone didnāt know that it could very easily be interpreted as āI need to stay away from all LEDs at nightā rather than āI need to stay away from blue light at nightā
@Friedrich Playing the game is something I know all about at this point!
@Koestrizer Having worked with some fresh out of school physical therapist, I could easily imagine what youāve had to say!
@simo74 A tips a tip
SHG prep
Bench: 95x10, 115x8, 135x6, 155x4, 175x2, 205x2, 185x4, 165x6, 155x8, 135x10
Dips: 20 total (lots of breaking through my stiff ass shoulder)
Chins: 35x8, 45x6, 50x4, 35x6, BWx10
OH extension: 20x15,15,12
Hammer curl: 35x10,9,8
Lateral Raise: 20x15,11,8
Notes:
- @T3hPwnisher The ārunning the ladderā from shake it up has become a staple in my training lmao. Itās the perfect rep scheme for when I need something quicker
- Getting really into that end point with my old man. Heās down to using 3 legs and has trouble getting up. I brought him to the park today because now I know his leg isnāt getting better and he loves the park
- When I got home, I was the good neighbor who captured my neighbors dogs who had gotten out when he wasnāt home. Then helped him put back on the fence board one dog knocked down
- NA beer reviews: Beckettās flying mule has become my favorite drink in general. When I do have a mixed drink, I love a good Moscow mule and this NA one has an amazing ginger beer in it. NA Blue moon. Blue moon is my go to beer and this NA one is a great adjacent to it
You can see just how swollen his leg is here. The vet said heāll let us know when heās ready to go but I will say this dog is a damn warrior. Heās still running, walking, and wanting to be around everyone. I do have to hold his dinner up for him because he canāt really bend down to eat a whole bowl and he wonāt use the dog bowl riser (I have no problem holding it. He deserves it)
Iām also filling out nicely from all the extra calories (Iām emptying my trash can after I post this)

Not all dietitians are bad. You just gotta find us out of the box thinkers! Take everything the other ones say and run it through a sieve, keep any worthwhile nuggets and throw the rest out with the tide and then come in here and asked me all the questions you want!
Memorize. Regurgitate. Forget. Itās classic college protocol. lol

Hereās one I canāt understand, the daily drink recommendation (2 for men and 1 for women) being āhealthyā. Obviously, she didnāt come up with it but I know if I was a RD, Iād have a hard time repeating that. How did it become the āhealthyā recommendation? Is it more reflective of society and coping mechanisms rather than true health?
I do realize thereās a great amount of psychology that goes into the job and thereās obviously no 1 fits all answer but that specific recommendation bothers me
Thatās just one of the things she said that was strange to me. The one of the others being āall macros are equally importantā or having a sweet everyday (which was a blanked recommendation) (she redrew myplate to have a sweets section)
My hydrotherapy skills would blow you away!

That is the quintessence of it, yes.
A ā¦ sometimes inappropriate teacher of ours commented on a technique that had to do with heat by saying this was also great to use on sexual partners in the context of foreplay.
Sorry for cloggin up the log. Iāll stop now with this silly bs
