Did some fasted cardio, almost every article on this site disagrees with eachother on whether is is useful or not so am just trying it on a few days to see if it makes a difference overall. Today I felt a lot more energetic though after eating at least.

Yea, itā€™s pretty ridiculous how many different conclusions you can draw on eating/training from this site and just the fitness world in general. I take pieces but mostly just do what i want lol

Read an article with a bunch of the site authors just disagreeing with technical jargon that I have no clue means so just going to try it for a while and see. Calories also down a lot so should be making good progress as well.

Spoke to a physio today about my wrist and have nervous system sensitivity causing it to be painful so now have a routine to help build up routine with it, might also try rice bucket as a fix as well since it is in that area. Will also try playing with foot angle on squats to help with my knee clicking although that isnā€™t painful.

Haha, I came to this exact realisation a few weeks back when trying to sort out my cardio program. Iā€™ve since come to the conclusion that it doesnā€™t really matter that much. You might as well experiment and find what works best for you because reading articles is just going to end up confusing the hell out of you, especially on this topic - it certainly did for me!

Have been dealing with a trapped nerve in my right shoulder so havenā€™t been training at all just letting it rest completely. Bought a 12 week program from Brain Alsruhe that is focused on recomp so will start running that when it arrives.

Program arrived today and it is brutal. Basically a 12 week Horseman where I am doing conditioning first then a ā€œBuildā€ Phase in a set time period working towards heavy low reps. Then a ā€œStrengthā€ phase with 3 rounds of Giant sets and decreasing % but increasing reps with AMRAP goals. Finally each session finishes with assistance finishers which so far as of reading each one looks worse than the last.

Will be logging everything that Iā€™m doing but not sharing the pages of the document out of respect for Brian and the work he put into making it all.

Notes from today

  • Enjoyed conditioning at the start, is very tough to keep to the EMOM and is a good warmup
  • Shoulder is still too dodgy to do burpees properly, will retry soon enough
  • DB snatches make me very dizzy followed by deadlifts felt like blacking out
  • I suck at High rep deadlifts after just doing 5ā€™s and 3ā€™s on 5/3/1 and didnā€™t attempt full on AMRAPS but just hit todayā€™s goal reps
  • I also suck at Front squats and broad jumps
  • After intense conditioning I cough and am still coughing a bit since my lungs are damaged from coronavirus, just going to work through it and build up tolerance
  • Getting through everything in a timely fashion is quite hard but managed to keep it to about an hour today, lots of lying on the floor after finishing something in a set time period though
