Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[King]

Went to a free clinic and the nurse told me I have subclinical hypothyroidism - said it was up to me if I wanted medication for it. But they said they doubt it’s the cause of my symptoms.

Instead they said it’s allergies from the air quality causing all of this, which I was highly skeptical of

Said I had rhinitis - prolly because I had some hay fever yesterday. Gave me some allergy meds + some anti anxiety shyt which I’m not taking and told me to come back in 2 months

I told em imma just wait until my primary sees me again this Friday to see what they say. Probably get a better opinion out of em, if they recommend medication imma take it

gonna go the @KingZimbabwe route and get some bloodwork done. my scale legit aint moving, i'm also not losing inches. something is off. the only next step i can think of is just doing cardio and letting weights go, maybe my body just can't take the stress from that. shyt's annoying because the more the scale stays the same, the more i stress, the more stress you have the higher your cortisol levels, and cortisol is terrible for weight loss, it's a self-feeding cycle

the blood work reveals so much...sometimes too much ..but thank goodness my numbers are all in range

Late night chest workout, those 2.5 plates really are your best friend

I’ve decided to drastically reduce my squat and deadlift numbers to help my knee out. My last squat and deadlift were 286lbs and even though I did all the reps and sets, my knees have been in a slight pain the last few days and I think this is because I moved too quickly between the numbers to really give it time to adapt to the sudden heavy load.

Im gonna go back to at least 170lbs and do more reps whilst focusing on technique and form as well as giving my knees and back time to adapt to small weekly increases. The thought of having knee injury and not being able to workout is too horrific to even contemplate

Question for my jump rope brehs and brehettes:

Do you find one of your arms doing more of the “rotating work” than the other?

I find my right arm (dominant one) doing more of the work to rotate the rope, my left does work as well, but not as much. Usually my right arm tires before the left. Wondering how I can correct for this.

Additionally, I find my right arm is further out from my body than the left when I get in jump rope stance. Haven’t been able to correct this yet and ensure symmetry. I feel if I did I’d be able to last for longer periods.

Are you doing them the same day? Reps for each

Yeah

 

[The ADD]

Yeah

Personal opinion is that it’s not wise to do both in the same session especially if you are doing high reps or chasing strength or hypertrophy gains.

You right. I think I’ll change. Thanks breh

I should clarify because of course some 5x5 programs incorporate that which works but the overall volume on those is much lower than what imagine a lot of people slog through doing both.

To be honest I had been thinking of not them both at the same time but my ego got the best of me. I’ll put deadlift on back days instead and move some back workouts to squat days

I do DLs on one of my 2 back days. I may actually start doing em 2x a week. Easily my favourite exercise.

But yea, squats and DLs on the same day is taxing man. Especially on a cut.

Had a glorious 35 min jump rope session earlier this morning.

DLs and back day today. Leg day tomorrow, Soccer on saturday. Gonna hit the high 80s on Saturday.

My two favourite times to play ball: when it’s hot and muggy or when it’s raining. Adds an additional challenge to the game
