Cutting season, earnings season, holiday season. I'm a bit of a wreck FS are the highlight of my workouts these days

Climbed - got through one more easy v2 but not a great session overall. Was trying to do flagging/outside edge and just seemed to make everything harder. Still having fun

didn't even notice but that OHP was a lifetime PR

Haven't lifted in over a week due to the terrible air quality in SF. Climbed yesterday, felt good.

Cut is a fail, too much other stress atm to do a full meal prep and calorie count. If I want to do a proper cut I'll likely need to pair it with some meal delivery service.

Yeah, that smoke is crazy. When mirin' your outdoor setup that was not one of the downsides I anticipated.

ETA: congrats on the PR.

srsly. Praying for rain on Wed

climbed. Beat a bunch of v2s and my first v3. Crazy you technique can take things from impossible to easyish

We had some bad fires in a drought here 2 years ago. Smoke lingered around, it was terrible. Some moron was setting them all over the southeast. But nothing compared to the ones in Cali.

Yeah man climbing technique is so much of it. A lot of the movement will start to click in a few months. There's definitely ppl with weaker muscles and fingers that will out climb me all day long. It's so fun though. Lots of times I think I am just too weak to do a certain move later to realize I wasn't in the right body position or engaging feet/toes well enough etc.

Wow can’t believe someone would do that intentionally, that’s awful

I think I’m going to suck it up and buy new shoes soon. I know they’re supposed to be tight but it’s actually painful to put too much weight on the toes

climbed. Current v3 I'm working on, those top grips are not good enough for me to comfortably put my weight on them. Probably need to try getting lower to get COG under the hold then get my feet higher before continuing.

We're back! I'm sure I'm pretty detrained so took ~10% off the bar and added a couple back off sets.

Also going to start tracking session RPE because I'm so cool. Couldn't find any good heuristic so I'll make it up myself:
10 - Couldn't do a workout this intense even once a week
9 - Could do 1 workout this intense per week
8 - Could do 2 workouts this intense per week
7 - Could repeat this workout with 1 day rest
6 - Could repeat this workout tomorrow
5 - Could repeat this workout in 12 hours
3 - Could repeat this workout with some rest
1 - Could repeat this workout immediately

I think according to this most of the workouts I've done have been in the 5-8 range

Who had the brilliant idea of upping volume to get back into things? Hamstrings have had such brutal DOMS, 3 days later still tough to move. Tried doing calf raises and noped when I couldn't physically set down the weights.

Traveling now so going to target 3 light full body workouts/week

Time to get back into it. About 1.5 months now without consistent lifting, have lost so much strength. Been back in town for a couple days but lacking WIM so going to start low and have a rapid LP.

bw 156, somehow managed to not gain weight despite eating everything in sight for 2 weeks. Didn't consume all that much alcohol. As usual I'm constantly waffling between cutting and bulking. I got a lot of physique compliments during the trip and I've kind of decided that with the decent (by layman standards) muscle mass I have most of the aesthetic side of things is just leanness. Especially since my belly seems to lose fat last I'll probably keep leaning out until I feel I've maximized that avenue and then gaintain moving forward, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at and don't have a ton of short term fitness goals, just continued to harvest the benefit and gradual gains over the next couple decades.

Amen. Think that's the best mindset/approach. Not doing significant cuts/bulks, not killing yourself training increasing injury/overuse issues, just embracing slowly grinding out the small gains over years and years. It's not my personality, but I've accepted it now.

Not my personality either, but I guess thats not a surprise from most people on this forum. But maybe my personality is changing in my old age.

I see a lot of other blogs stressing out about rest times lately. A perk of working out at home - rest time is usually more productive than normal time. I get to clean and cook, all while optimizing those sweet gains.

I think the issue is less the time wasting and more that the sheer length of sessions is a factor in fatigue generated.

I could see it going the other way too. A certain amount of volume in 1 hr might generate too much fatigue, while the same volume over 90 minutes is manageable. I've yet to see someone decide to cut down on session length because they think they're working too hard.

Yeah but that's exactly the issue. Long session allows you to do more, with a higher level of readiness going into each set. In other words, relative intensity for those sets will always be higher when controlling for other things. Doing the same prescribed sets/reps/rpe in a shorter time will always necessitate a decrease in weight, and probably volume in some cases where you are doing repeats until X RPE or programming based on fatigue percents.

if thats the motivation I have to say I'm skeptical. Until recently everyone was undertrained and suddenly everyone needs to lift less weight to manage fatigue. Seems a bit too flavour of the week for us weekend warriors. Just go beltless or do non specific accessories, none of us compete.

The goal here was to make myself laugh, but inexplicably this actually led to a date, smh
