**2022**
Year recap- This past year was my first year taking poker seriously on the part time level and while it was nice to win close to 20k profit playing mindless sit and go’s mixed with some mtts, I’m over putting that much hours into poker when I have a full time job. Some things aren’t worth the sacrifice. I will most likely do another Vegas trip and continue playing some mtts from time to time but I’m putting my foot down and trying my best to have a nice balance between my work and social life.

Moving forward to 2022 I have a lot of fitness oriented goals. Bearing in mind I have a job that can at times be physically demanding I have made a promise to myself to learn how to protect myself better in dire situations. I had a few recent situations where I had to sprint to an emergency and by the time I got there I was winded and had to give it my all to fight since I was the first person to respond and it was an eye opening experience. While I still enjoy working out/ lifting my focus has now shifted to endurance training. I workout with sweatpants/ sweatshirt on majority of my workout and I started boxing as well. I will start up logging my workouts again but my goals will be to maintain these things;

- Diet
- Strong core
- Road work
- Boxing work 1 day/week on off days
- Within boxing get to the point where I’m comfortable with foot work and satisfied with my punch speed and rate of combos.
- Maintain strength at gym but make workouts quick with around 1 min rest time and 1 min 30 sec at most. Work on back and leg muscles to help me punch harder.

I’m not sure where that will take me physique wise but right now I’m not worried about it. I plan to do cuts and mini bulks snd still lift a ton but Want to feel in actually good shape. I want it to take a while for me to actually feel winded.

Nah I used my can of mace on him the whole can and it took the fight out of him and did what I do. However the what if’s kill me sometimes because I was in such a vulnerable state. I should take notes from you mr cardio bunny, expect I rather not look like a little child, they prob would wanna have a slice of you.

My coach made me a new program gonna be doing legs 3x/week. I’d post it here but u guys wanna troll so there’s no purpose. I’ll just end up banning a few ppl from my log if it continues. Anyways building my legs and back is the ultimate goal of 2022.

Going from not doing much legs to 3x a week with your injury history doesn’t seem like the best idea. But I guess it depends on the volume and intensity.

It depends on the exercise selection also. Coming from his coach, we know this is going to be EZ/PZ cable heavy exercises like kickbacks, extensions, curls, abductor/abductor, etc etc and maybe a goblet squat and babyweight db sldl.

Of course. And that’s what I figured at first when I saw 3x a week. But he responded to you saying it wasn’t that. I’m guessing it’s not 5x5 pause squats or all leg ext/leg curl but somewhere in between. Prob a lot of hack squats and leg press etc

I’m supposed to work out legs again today but overnight I was getting Charlie horses. If I’m too sore today I’ll do back or take an off day and box + abs.

I think the focus of your leg workouts should be the posterior chain given its your biggest weakness and prob the cause of a lot of your injuries. The 3rd workout looks ok but the first two are very quad dominant. Do you have a reverse hyper/GHR/back ext at your gym?

Got back extension and due to a recent back injury my coach wants me to stay clear of DLs/ reg back squat. He’s also trying to get me to do strict press which my back always arches.

The back extension with bb is the king of back exercise. My dL exploded bc of that movement.

My only weakness now is my grip strength.

Avoiding those lifts is fine. I think back extensions should be added in. I typically try to alternate quad/post chain exercises. So squat then RDL, split squat and back ext, leg ext and leg curl etc. look at your first leg workout. Front squat, hack squat, step ups, Cossack squats are all mostly quad exercises. Same thing in workout 2 other than RDL. For you to do be doing much more quad work than post chain is a mistake considering how imbalanced you already are imo.
