vivalasvegans Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 thanks, women. it's coming along... i wish it was faster, but i learned very much through all of this so there are alot of positives. it's been 4 1/2 weeks now. i keep telling myself, any day now, any day it will be good to go. i got reminded today that the body surrounds the break with more bone that it needs, and it's gonna be stronger there than my other bones. i forgot that... it cheered me up wednesday i felt kind of sloppy and unfocused today. i was pushing more weight around but it made me feel weak... i couldn't really tell if i was stronger or better, i just felt wiped. the bike was even harder for the first 25 minutes. ended the session playing with the calf press. i started the broken foot with 10 pounds, increased by 5 up to 35, which hurt, took it down to 30 and did a bunch of reps... couldnt even come close to pushing that muscle. i didn't rly test my other calf. 20 mins ellipticalback & tris w/ed30 mins bike i think i'm gonna get my bike out of the shop this weekend.

vivalasvegans Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Sunday woke up with sore hams prob from the hypers and quads killing down low, right where i need em for the bike. yeah buddy. they got more sore as the day went on. foot was pretty owie, still is today (monday) on the trainer i felt stronger, started up a level, felt like i finally had 300 watts in my sight, made a couple intervals a little longer. i'm afraid to get in the pool again, it's such a big dealto lug all my stff around, get into my suit, and then find out it either hurts to swim or the water is too cold. i guess i'll try next weekend at the latest.

vivalasvegans Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Alright Mary, you know what this is like. Monday The first 30 mins on the stationary bike were hell, i felt like i couldn't move. Then I switched bikes and it was a little better, I think that one bike is broken. 45 mins stationaryback/tris20 mins elliptical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 tuesday30 mins stationary bikechest/bis/abs intensity on the bike was fine, not so much with the weights, it felt weak, but looking back on it i dont think it was actually too too bad. ran out of juice though, didn't have it in me to do more cardio. i think this was the first time in a year that i couldnt use the energy from a bad day to drive my workout. well, i could at first i guess but it only lasted for a little while. it was supposed to be a leg day but my quads are still sore. i wonder if im getting sick. it was the first time since i broke my foot that i walked around the gym carrying weights while not wearing my walking cast. it did hurt a little, and it still does, but i cant really deal with wearing that boot anymore. i think it will be fine if i just stay really attentive to making sure i keep it straight and keep the weight distributed evenly.

MalcKiera Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hope you're getting there sooner rather than later, viva! Although you seem to be getting a lot of training in as it is, broken foot or not - respect mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks. I'm trying.! WednesdayStrong on the stationary. Quads are still sore... i must be not giving them enough break to recover from saturday. i was gonna weight train legs with shoulders but i decided not to so i can try riding a real bike today. my calf is no where near what it was when the foot broke, the other one is detrained too, so i want good quads to compensate when im on the street. i did try the calf press again, 70 seemed like too much on the broken foot. it's kind of sensitive from being weaned off the boot, so i took it down to 50 on that foot. 30 mins stationary (intervals)shoulders/obliques20 minutes stationary (cadence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 aw thanks guys. it's doing better not 100% by any means but its getting there. i do still limp a little... thurs: liberated my bike from the shop, rode it around the blockfri:5 min walk 3.05 min walk 3.55 min run 6.020 min stationarylegs25 min stationary i was planning on only walking, but i just couldnt help myself. it didn't feel quite right, but it felt really really good to bust out and run. back up to 70 calf press on the broken foot. hamstring curls without the boot make my foot hurt for some reason. quads are sore already from leg work. i got bored of doing intervals on the stationary so i only did a couple, mostly working on cadence which will hopefully help build muscle back up in that leg.

vivalasvegans Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 dude they still got the fever! and it aint for more cowbell! i was planing on training legs yesterday or today but i think ill wait another day. Mondaywas working in on hypers with a guy, i thought his eyes were gonna pop out of his head when i picked up a 25 plate for 25 reps. i love it when that happens! 30 min stationary (stronger)shoulders/abs (and some weighted hypers) then i tried running and my foot hurt so i stopped but i didnt want to leave the gym with a defeat so i practiced standing omn a medicine ball, which hurt kind of, but went well overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesdaystayed away from running. foot was rly hurting in the morning. tried jumprope. not ready for it yet, it hurt. started out with lots of energy, didn't take any excuses with the weights. was way tired by the time i hit the bike again which is weird cuz i didn't train that long prob only 2 hours total. 30 mins bikeback/tris15 min bike Note to selfnot going back and editing, but i been spending longer on the bike than the last few entries say prob add 5-15 minutes depending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Wednesday got to the gym later than usual, tired. it wasn't a strong workout. At least i did some stuff. I think I'm getting burned out on the same old same old. I really need this foot to heal. I had all intention of training legs, and i started to, but my knee was tweaky all day, and so i couldn't do most of the limited amount of leg things i can actually manage. and there were sweaty guys stretching on the hamstring curl machine i wanted. so i did some upper body but i think i need a rest or some serious switch up. 30 mins stationary calf press 2x20x 70/70 90/90 110/110/130/130chest/bis/obliques (4 rounds 50/50/50)15 minutes elliptical really happy about the numbers on the calf press! although it made my foot hurt alot. i do think it's good for it. it was hard, but i did it to this so i was laughing insidehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-gvIeNWAPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 i know i know and i know i sound like a broken record, but i really need to get over this. i wanna run more. last night i trained legs, went pretty easy, but did ham curls for the first time without the boot. i hit 50 prone for 20 reps but i cant stop clenching my foot under the weight which rly makes it hurt, it still hurts. pre break i am told by my good friend i was doing 60. couldnt even touch a goblet squat. up to 150/leg for 20 on the rotary calf. yeah buddy. starting to see some muscle come back in that leg. thursday: went home from job #1 and went to sleep. first time i did that since august. it was pretty nice.friday30 stationarylegs (wall balls, extensions, ad/abd, seated/prone curl, calf press) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
