Building myself back up
-
I always found if I did a workout in the morning, I felt so good for most of the day but do hit the wall late in the workday.
If I am awake when my alarm goes off at 6.45 I am annoyed haha
-
Swimming this morning. Absolutely wrecked. No legs tonight. Not gonna happen. Will try to double up tomorrow.
-
Pretty good week, but seem to have fooked my back a bit. Not very sore but very stiff. Hopefully nothing serious. Will piss me off because I'm on a bit of a roll. Reluctantly ditched training this morning and had a bath. Yes, I know. Will shoot for swimming tomorrow and then see how the weekend goes. Unlike some of you guys, I don't do injured well at all!!!
-
@rancid-schnitzel back stuff can come right pretty fast if its just overtraining etc. If it doesn't feel like you've tweaked something a couple of days off or lighter stuff might see it right. Are you rolling out etc? Maybe a decent sports massage could be an option.

No. I've been talking about rolling out for years. Ever since I asked you guys what this meant 😂. Might be high time.
Seeing the gf this weekend so hopefully she can help out. She's pretty much the reason for the overtraining.
-
@rancid-schnitzel well I did consider asking if there were any new bedroom activities! God knows we talk about all and sundry round here 😂😂
-
And dude! Get on the rolling train ha ha! Def well overdue!
-
Swimming Saturday and Monday went well without back problems. Test will be tomorrow morning. Hopefully ok, but at least I know a proper swimming workout is an option. Really good shit that.
Speaking of swimming, it looks like my eldest will be offered a half scholarship for swimming to a top private school. Blown away by that. Went to the school today and it was astonishing. The training facilities are unbelievable. Hopefully all goes well. Half-scholarship is still going to rape the budget of a single dad, but I'll make it happen. But damn. School bus is $2,000 a year and their school acubra alone is $99. Good thing I barely drink or go out!
-
Shoulders went OK on Tuesday and run and swimming today went well. Well. Deserved spag bol tonight.
-
Shit, five days. Been smashing the swimming and eating. Treated myself to nachos on Saturday. Lovely.
The swimming has made a big difference and I don't know why it isn't pushed much more strongly in workout routines. Far less punishment on the body than running (and you train the entire body) and you don't have to play chicken with cars like those lycra clad dickheads. It's just the intimate HIIT or pump workout. Pissed off it's finishing this week, but will definitely create my own programme.
-
Dude you are legit part fish these days!! Nothing better than when you are loving your training!
-
A whole week. Actually the entire fitness section quiet. Nobody training anymore?
Been going pretty hard myself. Eating well and loving the swimming. Unfortunately it ended last Saturday so have to do my own thing. Hit the pool with the gf (who used to be a competitive swimmer) on Monday morning and she pretty much made me her bitch. Felt great afterwards but buggered in the evening. That swimming cuts you up to. Farking great shit.
Shoulders this morning then going for legs tonight. Going to try a solo swimming session tomorrow. Should be interesting.
-
@rancid-schnitzel I did yesterday, and last week! Promise!
Good to hear the swimming is going well. You're riding (ahem) some really solid training into the holiday season. Noice!

Yes riding (ahem) is the word. The erm warm down after swimming was truly excellent.

16 days! Bloody hell. Actually this entire section has shut down. Hopefully everyone hasn't gone completely to pudding.
I had a very active Christmas and despite eating well, didn't go completely nuts (although mum made these ice-cream balls that were insane). Was all academic really because my youngest infected me with a stomach bug on the 30th and I barely ate for 3 days. Shocking stuff. Like having an extended hangover but without the preceding awesome time on the piss.
Anyway, got back to gym today and it felt good. Didn't overdo it but felt much better after. Eating good as well. If there's any motivation for staying fit and healthy it's a period of illness. Everyone should do everything they can do avoid that.
-
Going well so far after the sick period.
Great run on Sunday despite being nearly killed by the heat.
Monday: first proper leg day for a while. Smashed it. Really good.
Tuesday: shoulder. Another good day. Very on point.
Will try and hit the pool tomorrow. It's a bastard that there a no more lessons. Much easier than having to do this myself. -
So new weights program today. Haven't changed things up for months so it's high time. Was going through the motions in terms of pushing da tin.
First day was chest and shoulders. Not bad at all. Good mix. Will continue with swimming and running twice a week as well.
-
Good God. 21 days! That is shit.
Crazy busy with eldest at new school and his swimming commitments (6 times a week plus Friday meet on other side of town). Some hardcore shit, but he seems into it and the whole environment around the sport is great. Fark he's turning into a specimen. Lucky bugger will get more pussy than a cat shelter. Thankfully he's at a boys school now so won't be distracted by all that. Lucky prick can eat what he wants too. And he does...
But this isn't about my spawn, it's about me and I've been pretty good. Back into the swimming and eating has been pretty much spot. Went a bit nuts on Saturday, but I guess that's allowed. Punished myself with epic run plus pullups etc on Sunday morning.
Swimming this morning. Can't rave on enough about this. Just the best workout. Farks you up but in a good way 👍.
-
Bit of a cnut of a week. Eldest spawn's swimming means getting up at 4:30 3 times a week. Work also means that I often don't get to bed by 11 or 12 so that isn't ideal. But you do what you gotta do!
Training has been OK. 3 swimming sessions and 3 gym sessions. Need a good night sleep tonight though.
An old Tinder fling texted me and asked to meet. I won't, but fark my penis is doing it's very best to override my brain. Not good. Families and relationships must have been destroyed, wars started and fortunes lost because of guys who can't keep their wieners in check. It's such a blessing and a curse!
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah I can imagine the temptation when you've shacked up but chicks still remember your D 😄😄 presume things are going well with current squeeze, and from what you've shared you'd be mad to throw that away.
Tip my hat to you re supporting your son. Holy shit that's early. Swimming aye!! Can he ride an e-scooter there?? Or ride share with anyone else?
We are taking ms 2 to pools semi regularly. Always tempted to nip over to the big pool for a few lengths.
