The Bulletproof Athlete - Impenetrable - Unyielding - Invincible

Tuesday 220915

One of the reasons I find having an online log appealing is accountability to the readers, so when I make a statement of any sort I feel accountable to follow up upon it as a result. As is turns out though, I won’t be able to follow through with the new program change as too much of the stuff I need is either broke or missing. As I arrived this evening both cable cross “machines” had a broken cords rendering them utterly useless and the medicin balls where all missing. Therefore I have no other choice but wait until they get new medballs and repair the equipment.

  • Even though I’ve only just pasted the half way point, I’ll be changing the explosive exercise again as of next workout. I’ve been experiencing some clavicular irritation the last couple times. Most probably due to having to hold the bar away from the torso once bridged off the floor, as my max isometric bench press hold is no way near the weight I’m capable of bridging, straining the clavicular.

  • Besides from moving on to a new contrast set I’ve also decided to cut down the sets to 5. With everything from changing the weights, stretching/resting in between sets, moving the weights around to elevate the jump station etc. it takes a fucking lifetime to finish 10 sets.

My IBS broke out late Wednesday night after rolling, leaving me unable to sleep before I was in a state of complete exhaustion late thursday night. Woke up after 14 hours of bad sleep, still feeling the effects of the outbrake and without haven eaten anything in almost two days. Needless to say I didn’t have much energi but I still felt the urge of going to the gym.
Once there, as always my energi seems to begin spiking so it could definitely have been worse even though it wasn’t very good.

As a result everything seemed a lot heavier than usual. Decided not to compete against the last workout results and just get in some reps and getting something done. It’s not always much, but it’s always something
