211.2/207.6 yesterday was a big binge
DSDP #8/22 done adding days. I might restructure this, as I think it’s leading to disordered eating.

GGet HELP
run:walk 5:2 treadmill
2.2 miles in 25:06

Speed plummeted and I had to cut the last minute due to shins. This has been an interesting experiment.
Going forward I’m going to stick to my 3 lifts and 3 runs, but I’m going to cycle through these workouts once a week, and keep the other two capped at an hour.
So like:
week 1 - 1.5:2x8
week 2 - 3:3x5
week 3 - 3:1.5x7
week 4 - 5:2x5
I’m also not ruling out a run every day challenge with a .5 mile minimum.

Front squat
205x1 this lift is going backwards quickly…
185x5x2 I quit
175x5 I quit
165x5 I quit
155x5x2

I think I need a low intensity, high set, high volume block

New wrinkle: daily minimums
Inspired by one of the guys on my personal Mount Rushmore, MythicalStrength, I’m going to add in daily minimums

Rules:
1) for thirty days straight I need to do:
- 50 push-ups, air squats, and pullaparts
- 10 chin-ups (pull-ups neutral grip etc)
- half a mile jog
2) this is starting as a thirty day challenge, although I’m hoping to make this a forever thing.
3) The challenge is to do the minimum, and no more!
The exercises can find their way into regular workouts, but every day I need the minimums.
4) If for some reason I can’t do pull-ups, then I do 50 inverted rows off a table or something
5) reps won’t change, but sets can. I would love to be doing them all unbroken in 30 days at least once.

Daily Minimum Stuff (DMS) 1/30
I just did
.5 miles in 5:05
And two rounds of
25 pullaparts
25 push-ups
25 squats
5 chin-ups

—-/208.1
DSDP on hold for now. Gonna start it again after the weekend
DMS3/30 I owe every but pull-ups… ETA here it is 1am and I’m finishing it up.

GGetHELP 2.? Gif/travel edition
Squat, no pre-workout
315x1@8.5?
265x12!! Was aiming for 10, thought I miscounted and did an extra one. Tape shows 12
245x12 started unrecovered after 7-8 minute rest
225x6 nope
My overall work capacity sucks. I gotta leave for rehearsal in a bit, I’ll do my minimums tonight, I’ll run tomorrow, and I’ll press while packing the car for the weekend.

Dude, when I squatted 265x a measly 10, I was unrecovered two days later. Maybe more; that was just the next session and when I found out how fucked up I still was.

Daily minimum and diet is on hold
Still tracking calories and running.
Friday I ran a half mile on the treadmill and did pull-ups only.

Yesterday I chopped wood all day, ran a half mile on the street and did pull-ups and one round of 25 push-ups and squats

Today I did a small amount of wood chopping, and a 3 mile 6:1 jog in 38:33

We go back home tomorrow.

I need to a good quad exercise that helps and not hurts my knees


3 max effort squat sets is dumb.
A smarter move would be to drop a bunch of weight and do beltless pause squats or something.
Also to consider:
- I did squats last
- I’m now running a little bit every day and did so before squatting
- I mowed the lawn first
-it’s 90 and muggy
Aaah. Making excuses for myself feels great.


In honor of @DCR I’m instituting a music recommendation.

My friend Gyan used to rock this South Indian soundtrack collection on road trips. There are a lot of wild tracks on this, but this one has some cartoonish, banana-pants orchestration. Also I love a random 2 seconds of konnakol in a song.

Music Rec of the day

The Sparrow Song from “Step across the Border”.
This is a documentary about guitarist Fred Frith. Fred had his hand hand in all kinds of downtown weirdness in the 80s, and this doc captures it beautifully.

Music Rec of the day

Brute Facts - Vijay Iyer
This track gets lumped in with Wu-tang and Meshuggah for my work out playlists. The energy that they bring while navigating the rhythms while the driver does everything to obfuscate where the downbeat is.
