Im trying for some accountability here.
Former tiny super jock still broken still full of black t-shirt anger. IYKYK
Still living and working in NYC. I’m in a labor union in the entertainment industry work is better and dumber than ever.
Typically I do big concerts in Brooklyn you can math that out.
Most of my work days range from 14-20 hours.
I no longer barbell train. Wrapped up my third neck PT
It’s still not great.
Stats.
I’m 53 5’7 maybe a little less bw 176
Former D1 college wrestler + judo +bjj
Those miles took a toll.
What’s going to go on in here
I’m gonna curse
I’m gonna misspell stuff.
I’m hoping you peeps roast me .
2014 I fell at work and had my left knee rebuilt.
I can talk about it law suits long dead. Ask away it was bad.
Recently my neck has shit the bed it has been bad now it’s stable
Training post surgery was ok
Lots of stuff was out - running sprinting
Cleans and any of the O lifts or fake Olifts where out.
.
squats and pulls came back
I was able to squat 405 3 sets of 5 on a good day and could pull about 500
I have a video from 2019 I got 275 for 25 or 26 on squat.
I don’t really bench like ever.
Covid and gym closures near me and then my neck - wisely killed any barbell training.
Where I m at
Lots of calisthenics kettle bell crap,
6/10
Mobility shit rolled out on a pvc pipe
Hip stuff BPAs
A Pull-ups
10x10
B1 BPA 5x20
B1 dips 5x10
C leg raises from dip 5x15
D iron neck like 3 rounds of crap
6/11
5 mile ruck with 30 lbs
push ups x bw squats 4x30 each =120
6/12 16 hour day that started at 4am
6/13 mobility stuffs and push ups x bw squats 4x30 each =120
6/14 concert 8am-2am. 18000 plus steps and lots of big heavy stuff mostly cable built then packed up.
6/15 lots of caffeine I slept in
Did some fake mobility
ABC complex
30 round emom of
2 kb cleans 1 kb press 3 kb squats with what I think was 38 lbs.
that’s it.
I have a decent ammount of equipment at home.
Gym prices here got to 179-300$. Monthly fuck that
I have what amounts to a single upright 3”x3” with 1” holes
That I use for pull-ups dips iron neck etc
I can post links or pics
It folds up it wasn’t cheap but it good for the apartment.
I have a TRX suspension trainer
Two adjustable kbs that get up to 32 kg
Two adjustable dbs that go to 40 lbs
Tons of bands.
The kbs are large and and awkward they are competition kb size so it like a basket ball
I had to be very strict with pull-ups
Rotating elbow in - retracting scap
I’ll see if I can do another session of pull-ups - this week.
Work pull-ups and the KB cleans from that complex take a toll on my bicep tendonitis
If you have ever seen a truck pull in strong man that is a similar position to coiling up cable - bent over - back braced -
Pulling hand over hand making a nice round neat pile - I do this a lot like a few hours a day. There are techniques which make it easier and efficient but it takes a toll.
Combine that with a similar volume of pull ups I have to monitor.
That being said - antletics and work has given me a really good grip forearm situation.
What else.
Neck only feels like a pen is being stuck through vertebra not a hot knife so that’s good.
All the bw squats and or complexes I do - I’ve been squatting in my toes and it’s really helped my feet and ankles - they feel really good - mobile and stable.
What else ?
My right nostril ( broken nose ) has decided it’s retired.
I’m trying a C-Pap these are awful.
I made a ny strip for Father’s Day some Elote and shishito peppers
