goals: drop 25 lbs of fat. More about losing the visually noticeable shite as opposed to measuring my weight consistently. 195-205 is my ideal
 
My old log below for the last couple months:

all the weights are the plates attached to the bar, I'll start using fully arithmetic numbers (o0o wording!). Had a few other months before that, but nothing special

Diet pretty good, though got allll sorts of drunk last night: jello shots, mass-flavored vodka w/ juice. No hangover, 6-7 hours of shitty Drunk passed out sleep. Lower back is a nightmare, was GOING to do some Ross shite intervals: 2 min of Burpees (no pushup), plo pushups, shadow boxing rounds
 
Really sucks having the fuggered lower back. When I start to feel better, thats when I really want to hit the gym hard; either go for heavy Oly's / squats, or do some intense intervel jump rope or rowing...

But, gotta go very slow. More rehab tonight, some sort of morning conditioning tomorrow, then a yoga class later that night.
 
Previous day (sat) did muscle therapy, which explains why my neck is so sore...yehh having a women jab her elbows into your big ol knots...helping my migraines however.

Have two spine therapy sessions next week (wed / friday).

Link to Some of the stuff I am doing for my lower back, will find more specific stuff later:

Does "w/girl" mean you did the exercises on her or while holding her?:icon_twis

Seriously, welcome to the logs and good luck, man!
 
hehe. That would be nice :D


W/ girl just means I'm training her in tandem. Recently got her into compound movements away from the silly chick machines and pink dumbells.

She's japanese, and thus has a super-asian squat. :)

Diet: pretty good: morning, breakfast buritto from Betos. Betos is the best fkin cheap ass drunk ass or morning ass Mexican around
 
Tomorrow in between classes, I'll be taking to heart Bacons first post of his log..T Nation style, and begin adding in specific exercises for my cro magnum posture.

Very exaggerated upper back, and a .... inversely exaggerated lower (probably a word I'm sure).

Time to fix it.
 
3 MRI's this morning, Lumbar, Cervical and Brain.


Lumbar: potential herniated disk (from an orthopedic DR examining me last week)

Cervical: DR says I "could" have a slipped disk

Brain: Whenever I'd do tabata jumprope I'd begin to black out, and feel like my brain was exploding.


I since found thats very dangerous, so he's ruling out tumor to focus on other shit.


Logs not being updated, as I'm not doing anything. Very sedentary, but, this week will do some light yoga and walking for (goal) 1 hour per day (more likely, 4x a week) for rehab.

Hurts to walk, hurts more to sit...herniated disk ftw.



Will update this more when I'm actually doing Weights.
