Everyone needs to recover at points. Maybe a carb day or sleeping day needed at the weekend.

8/1/22 - AM MetCon
Bear Complex (5 rounds unbroken, for weight)
45lb warmup x 5 rounds

115lb for record x 5 rounds (intermediate, can go up)

8 reps
+Stretching
Gosh, I’m hella out of shape 
Going to have to figure out what’s up with my lower back. It’s always cramped up on high-rep hinge work, but that’s not going to cut it if I’m going to keep up with this stuff.

These are both very humbling. Nice place to start!
I’m sure I missed this somewhere, but what kind of pup do you have?

I don’t plan on doing any miles, or if i do - it will be literally like a mile. But even 400m was a struggle for me yesterday… that’s gotta be fixed lol.
The wife wanted something small and I wanted a Cane Corso, so we settled on a Pug as an obvious ‘middleground’ 
One day, big dogs will be the standard in our house, until then - we will have our trustworthy Alpha Pug.
Chewella (the pug) is pretty great though, I’ve been meaning to post pictures of her but all the good pics are on the camera.

Pugs are pretty cute, but I am with you, Cane Corso all the way. Such sweet dogs. Plus, they look big and dangerous, which is cool. At least when the pug gets on your lap you aren’t crushed. When you get a lap-dog-minded Corso.. You could use the dog for 80lb OH squats then race the dog 400m.
Please! I live vicariously through people that have dogs. My apartment and lifestyle will not allow one.

@dt79 Why do you dislike Anaconda and Jupyter Noteboooks? I’ve been using VSCode for a programming w/ objects class and I set mine up to operate VSCode via Anaconda - so I’ve got access to all of the Anaconda libraries but get to use the VS IDE.
Haven’t had a need to mess with Jupyter Notebooks but it’s got hella good ratings - just curious as to how it managed to mess up your system path variables.
This was almost 2 years ago when I didn’t know vscode had a jupyter notebooks extension. When you opened Jupyter notebooks, the anaconda CLI had to be open and remained as a window in the background doing balls.
This was while I was using Pycharm. When I switched to vscode, anaconda would fucking try to make itself the main virtual environment whenever I used python which would screw up the ability to import stuff for django. Since I was fucking around with django and some basic scripts, I had no use for it. But I couldn’t get rid of the fucker and I can’t remember if it was because of a combination of pycharm and anaconda but the fucker made it’s way into my environmental variables and system config I had to manually uninstall every single thing including python.
I do not know if this shit is still going on. Now I mainly use Docker with WSL 2 as the backend or vscode remotely on a linux vm so I’m not having any problems with anaconda fucking around when I need to use Tf.
Jupyter notebooks without any IDE are just unsightly and unintuitive (to me at least). When I used them, there was no autocomplete so I stopped using them.
It’s very likely that I was doing stuff wrong since till today I still do not know how to use a single formula for excel lol.

I think Anaconda is just very picky with how you set up your environment for obvious reasons. I set it up wrong the first time and was raging because nothing was working properly, but after uninstalling and reinstalling with the packages/setup I needed, it all worked out fine.
I don’t think you need the Anaconda CLI open to operate the system anymore, but I’m not using Pycharm or Django either so no comment. Jupyter notebooks seems to work just fine without the Anaconda CLI though - but I also never use Jupyter notebooks either so 
Maybe it’s just because I’m a newbie to coding and all that, but honestly I’ve got a bit of a crush on VSCode and Anaconda’s libraries. I also haven’t needed it for anything overly extensive yet so that opinion may change.
Thanks for taking the time to explain it, I’ve been getting some imposter syndrome in this whole field.

8/9/22 - Actual Rest Day
8/8/22 - AM MetCon
“DT” (5 rounds, for time, 155lb Rx)
- Deadlift x12
- Hang Power Clean x9
- Push Jerk x6
- Had to adjust to 135 and stopped after 3 rounds.
- None of this was friendly on my lower back, and I was cramping so badly towards the end that it was my back holding me up - not my cardio.
- 155 was too much to be stable on Hang Power Cleans - still, I got better at this movement.
- This lower back think is gonna have to get corrected if I’m going to keep up with these training sessions.
Diet Update:
I will be following the Pulse Feast plan as I don’t know if I can lug around enough shaker bottles to swing the V-Diet lol. Still, I think this plan will work for my psych profile because I’m a snacker… If I feast at the end of the day, I’ll be less likely to snack (whereas I have no access to snacks at work, so adherence is kind of required).
I’ve meal prepped 12oz chicken breast and 8oz broccoli to start, still need to cook rice (thinking maybe a half cup raw per meal) - which will be heavily laden with mushrooms (probs 2lbs or so).
Macros should look something like this per meal:
Cal: 1143
P: 127g
C: 121g
F: 10g
and this per day, before add-ins (which will be fruits, nuts, or other protein based foods):
Cal: 1673
P: 219g
C: 138g
F: 23g
(not including supplements, which will be 3x Surge servings, 2 fish oil capsules, 2x Hot-Rox)
Will update as needed to help with compliance - an eternal issue with me.
