Kicking off 4th week with 13 and last day with single digit within a set.... its getting brutal. From here on, will try to maintain the daily 5 sets session within 16min instead of 12-13.

Came back from chiropractic session before pull.
Level of form and pull effort felt similar to yesterday but considered fresher as this is day 3 after rest. But barely cleared the last rep of the last set. Maybe should have rested a little longer. Total time today 16:04min. The chiro session seems to have released some tension on the left trap/ neck area allowing smoother movement today. Short run at good pace today without putting in much effort. All numbers within targetted ranges for pace, avg & max HR.

Bend Elbow Straddle practice: 15mins
Woke up feeling sore at the back but not the usual dull aches. Not sure if it was from yesterday pull and run or the chiro session or combo of all... but definitely different. Neck tension almost gone.
Evening pull session felt a lot stronger today. Seems like energy flow is much smoother. Was thinking today would go back to 18 min session but end up about the same as yesterday and mostly reps in better form.. 16:28min

First set of 14, one straight train, no pause. Probably could have reached 17 before needing a hang break. Came back late after chiropractic session 03, so was rushing thru a bit today with the RFP so that dinner won't end too late. Overall definitely felt stronger. Today is at 60 reps.... oops, 61. Did an extra rep in the first set ... 4 more days to go.

Incline DB curls at 8kg almost failure at last rep of second set.  Dropping back to 7kg in set 3 was kinda "insuffiicent" although still taxing. Can feel more shoulder strains on left for bicep movement in general including hammer curls. DB Skull Crusher need to go heavier but need to find balance point for both arms. Same with Dbl DB overhead Tricep Extensions. Need to press dumbells together...
A start to many things from yesterday… “Guns & Shoulder” packing phase to supplement body-weight movements. Not bulking. Only using smaller to moderate weights today, first to correct and address left/right joints imbalances. Assess weakness and causation. Gym time during lunch hour is always a rush affair—trying out a Double Workout Days for overall daily intensity and refining volume in each session. Super-sets using antagonistic muscle groups are always awesome but still need to hit total load lifted faster to get back to work in time—estimated will need ~3-4 weeks to workup to shortened interval between sets while achieving sufficient load and keeping decent form.

DBPress @ 32.5kg-- CLOSE but no cigar again!. First set at 30⁰ was unfamiliar territory/ angle.
Next one back at 15⁰, mind not focus to push hard. Last set hit till 7th rep ok... But 8th rep total failure after lowering, just cannot push back up.

2022 October Training Reflections

1 Been roughly two month since turning weekly "trainer/ coach" - conducting an hour plus of class each Thursday in office. Having literally no idea what to do initially.  My own daily exercising has never been any strict regimented programs; outlined with exact sets, reps etc. It has all been one big long experiment from the start. While my "Daily  Trinity" of Pulllups, Diamond Pushups and Dips forms the base of each day's load/ intensity with other exercises--truth is, even for these fundamentals, its been a never-ending series of changes and adaptations as new discoveries and observations/ realizations are made -- almost daily at times. Personally, being disciplined with core training has never been much of a regular affair either. Since definitions in these muscles comes naturally without much actual focused training. Most of my cores are indirectly trained because of the constant contractions applied while doing other exercises to maintain stability during ...

2023 May Training Reflections

Almost mid May, usually penning monthly reflection thoughts comes at the tail-end of the month. But with a fair bit this time, so before I forget... Like Apr-- continued with lower reps with more sets on pulls to hit usual daily numbers to reduce physical stress and focus more on joints recovery (elbows and left shoulder).  Started switching to weighted pullups 3 days ago and daily shoulder warmup is an essential daily affair by now. Micro-dosing it throughout the day when getting up from the chair to stretch. The left shoulder inflammation is much reduced, mobility/ flexibility has improved. Still not optimal of course. However the frequent "shoulder dislocation" and dead-hang exercises have certainly proven effective and useful.   "Shoulder Dislocation" Move Finally, on 13 May, managed to pull off a somewhat "passable" shoulder dislocation with that same initial broomstick from 2 months ago.  Recalling the agony and angst of not able to move the darn sti...

2023 Oct Training Reflections

Oct 2023 fitness and training was all over the place. A week in Cologne for the Anuga Food Show with lots of drinking. Yes drinking. Something since Q1 of 2022 that I had largely eliminated. Never been much of a drinker all my life but during the pandemic lock-down period-- found myself grabbing a bottle of whisky off the shelf to replenish just before the last one dries up in the house. Soon it kinda became a habit.  Those 2 years also saw my highest running mileage ever and my cardio fitness was back right up there  to my ultramarathon days... so I thought a few drinks was ok. But when life returned to normal going back to office, that's when I it dawned on me that something was not right and I need to kick the bottle away. So why this "binge" week during Anuga this time? Call it an experiment. First I can certainly still drink pretty copious amount but the fact is I really do not like it at all... Alcohol. Especially beer, it just smells rotten somehow. Call it overnig...
