Been slacking on timed runs since I won the last 5k
And unfortunately cardio (vo2max) degrades faster than muscle when not pushed So this feels like a pace I can maintain indefinitely, but unfortunately is 20s/min slower than my recent best 5mi, and a full min/mile slower than my last race 5k I have about a month and a half to whittle this down, and expand the distance to 8ish miles, maybe 10. I don’t ever need to train the full half-m, the adrenaline of the race usually carries me the last 1/4ish Anytime I lose ground in fitness, I feel the Linkin Park song playing in my head….it feels so hard to build, and so goddamn easy to lose https://m.youtube.com/watch?v= | ||

Setup my weight bench in the barn yesterday.
Setup three templates, Chest/Shoulders - Back/Arms - Legs. Picked 5/6 lifts for each template. I've never really lifted weights, I did it when I was in high school and we did it for sports but never really as an adult. Doing my best to keep it simple here. I end up getting drowned in information when I try and optimize something new. I did the same thing with Piano, I started that and am doing decent but early on I really went over board on how to get started...instead of just starting. | ||

bench / deadlift / squats / pullups
if you could only do 4 exercises those would be it...anything else is gravy | ||

For the last 2 years I changed up my lift routine. I have some buddies that swear by lifting muscle groups (push/pull divison) but I've always felt my body responds best to upper body/lower body. Mon/Wed/Fri upper, Tue/Thur/Sat lower, Sunday rest (yea verily it be thy day if the lord *Catholic cross with that fingas).
I might not be able to train each muscle group quite as much, but this ends up being better for me. I've always *hated* squats, so I'll do deadlifts and then do a weighted lunge instead. Not quite as total body, but I've got a shit back, and even with good form seems to fuck me up doing squats with any amount of weight.

Sorry boys, it turns out it’s not your diet that’s giving you diabetes
It’s time for a lifestyle change, and it’s not changing what you eat: “In order of most to least micro-and-nano-plastic release, results found that the anal toy released the most particles” | ||

When you lift weights your bones bend ever so slightly and when that happens your body goes “OH SHIT! Mah bones just almost bent a little! We need bone reinforcement, stat!” And it begins to grow new stronger bone tissue I dunno the actual process, osteo-something. But exercise scientists say the best thing you can physically do for your bone health is lift | |||

Weighted lunges suck because lunges suck. I mean I do them, but I don’t like em | |||

Can also do with dumbbells too. Also with dumbbells over an inclined bench for upper back | |||
