calf press 3x20x444

 

You GET IT woman!! I was so doing high rep high weight on calves with Lyric. Their leg press only went up to 12 plates so I knocked that out 4 sets of 25. Total love. Then just finally swapped over to single calves to put those heavy numbers I'm use too. Gotta get that stimulation.

how is the foot doing? sorry to hear it is still any issue. I just usually put the ice on over something thin and it helps a ton with the cold factor instead of applying it directly to skin. so if it is a foot i just have a light sock on. I personally think it works better then anti inflammatory meds but it is more of time consumer.

My foot's getting back to normal. In retrospect, I think I did try to come back on it too fast. The effect of that isn't too bad, but I feel like I should be 100% back to where it was before the break, and I'm not. Hopefully there won't be a next time and I won't get a chance to test that theory.

 

You're lucky you can handle ice like that! I wish I could! I have to get the room really warm, get a bunch of blankets and warm clothes... basically I'm a big baby.

 

Tuesday:

I was so tired. I considered going home to crash, but then i decided to go see some friends and just hit the gym for a little bit of time. I drank 2 cups of coffee and fell asleep. Then I drank another cup... no effect. We were joking he decaffed us. Then I was gonna go home after I stopped in to grab a quick bike part. The upgrade made me feel so energized I decided to hit the gym. Still pretty tired. I turned the intensity on the spin program up to the highest but either i'm just getting stronger or I've found sneaky ways to cheat out of working so hard, or the coffee kicked in. tried to keep it short but high intensity. i need a day off or a down day.

 

commute

25 minute spin (lvl 10 race)

i think there are 3 different kinds of bikes there, one has videos, one measures cadence and watts, and one doesn't rly measure anything. the one with video is cool cuz it gives you visual cues and it plays music, which is kind of like what you hear on The Sims metal music station, pretty funny. I like the video one cuz it's less potential to get bored and the saddle is the most decent. I wish it measured watts though. The ones at my gym with watts have weird saddles and like sunday riding through the old english countryside with tea and flowers in your basket kind of position. I can't rly deal with it.

saturday:

 

time trial-

woke up, drank coffee, packed, showered, embrocated, drove and ate oatmeal, got lost, waited, waited, waited more, warmed up, ate a gel, raced

 

it was SO fun

 

what i did right: stayed as aero as possible without bars, filtered pain pretty well, didn't bring liquid, didn't push training the day before, food was perfect, wore full finger gloves, went fast

 

what i could do better next time: warm up more, dont embrocate at home before such a long drive, don't worry about saving energy for the final third at the halfway point, push harder the whole time... i do have it in me, maybe use different pedals, remember to bring asthma inhaler and use it, get faster out of the gate, improve power to weight ratio

 

i can't wait for the next one.

 

worked on abs/obliques for about 40 minutes later in the afternoon.

 

food:

coffee/soy

100 cal oatmeal

gel and a mamba

race

larabar and a mamba

2 scoop protein, coffee, 1 tbs flax, 1 tbs cocoa smoothie

2 scoop protein

spinach and red pepper, 2 veg burgers, builder bar

go free bar

apple, orange

thanks!

 

sunday:

i crashed at the gym. ate three caffeinated cliff blocks to bring me back, which kind of worked, but i still didn't get my complete focus back. it was way harder than usual to stand on that ball and press 8 pounds. 5 pounds too, but by the last set of it i felt ok. cold though. one of my lifting rounds used close underhand grip lat pulldowns @90, the most i could do was 15 at a time, i took it down to 70 after that which was fine, but it was my 5th round so i guess i'm not too worried about it. i hope i'm not losing strength. i need to get back in the pool.
