20 minutes on the treadmill
Bunch of weighted Swiss ball crunches.
I started the BPC-157 this week and am not doing any upper body stuff. Plan to start back with some light stuff next week. Hoping to clear up some nagging aches and pains. For the last couple of weeks my left arm has been going painfully numb at night. It wakes me up and takes a long time (30+ minutes) to get back to sleep. I bought a brace for my elbow to keep me from bending it at night. I’ve used it the last two nights, and there is definitely improvement. I’m pretty sure I have ulnar nerve entrapment. My hand goes numb a lot of times when I’m typing as well, but it isn’t as bad as when I’m sleeping.

Decided to change up the way I’ve been working out forever and work on getting my heart rate up. I’m really in pathetic cardio shape. This was not fun, particularly the sled pushes.

This stuff is definitely getting my heart rate up. I’m kind of having difficulty coming up with the cardio stuff to do between the lifting sets, based on how my gym is laid out. I will get bored quick doing the same stuff over and over. I did order a fake jump rope thing that will be in today to throw into the mix.

Right knee is hurting behind the kneecap. I think it was doing box jumps 2 days in a row, and then walking about 9000 steps yesterday. Got to the gym, stretched, and started to warm up on preacher curls and my elbows said “You are an old man, and you need to go home and ice.” So I stretched a little more and then came home and iced my knee and elbows.

This was a hotel workout, and not too bad. The bench hops got my heart pounding. Gonna have to keep those in the rotation for sure. Haven’t pooped in 3 days, plus the travel, so I’m not stressing the weight gain yet.

Another hotel workout. Second day in a row NO ONE else was in there, not even on the treadmills. Unusual.
