07.02.18 - Day 4 - Aborted Workout

FAT
Keto Large (morning measurement)


Workout:
500 m Row

2:31

The row was way easier than it was 2 days ago but I started feeling some weird tightness in my left arm. It was on the inner forearm extending from the bend of the elbow. It's probably nothing but I don't want an issue so I just quit right there. I'll do some jump rope and kettlebell tomorrow at Kelsey Creek. No pulling motions for a few days.

07.01.18 - Day 3 of 100 - Rest Day

FAT
Keto Large

No workout. Woke up at 11:30 am. For the last two days, my sleep has  been deeper than I remember in the longest time. This is obviously tied to restarting my workouts. Anyway, shortly after I woke up, I decided that today needed to be a rest day. My body feels strained, but it's kind of a good feeling - a feeling I've missed. But, I need to be careful about overtraining.

Talking about feeling, I feel like I'm coming alive for the first time in a year. It's like the last year went by in some sort of haze. I don't ever want to feel that way again. 

I'll do another mini-workout tomorrow after work. I'm not sure what I'll do, but if I go to Ballard, I'll row for sure. I don't like the rowers at Kelsey Creek.

06.30.18 - Day 2 of 100 - jump rope, row, squats, deadlifts

FAT


Workout:
500m Row
2 X 10 Air Squats
2 X 50 Single Skips
3 X 5 Back Squats (#95)
1 X 5 Deadlifts (#135)


The row was incredibly difficult. I started out thinking that I would do a slow 2K row but about 200m in I realized that wasn't happening. So 500m slow and easy is my baseline. I think my goal for the row should be to do a 1K row a few days from now and a 2K row in about 2 weeks. 

The jump rope was quite a bit easier. I'll move it up to 3 sets tomorrow. 

The back squats weren't very hard, but we'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. I'd like to move up to #135 in a few days, but I'm not sure if that's smart. 

The deadlifts weren't heavy exactly but the movement was very awkward and had me breathing hard. 

Overall, it was actually a decent workout, or mini-workout.

Day 1 of 100: Super-Low Work Capacity

FAT


Workout:

Jump rope 2 X 40 single skips
KB Swings 2 X 12 #35

Bench Press:

5 reps at 95
5 reps at 115
5 reps at 135

Shrugs
3 x 5 at 42.5 (two dumbbells) 

My baseline work capacity is incredibly low, but I think I can raise that dramatically in just a few weeks. This is the result of basically not working out at all for two straight years. Why do I do this to myself? This has to be a form of mental illness. 

I think I'm heavier maybe than I've ever been. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm pushing 290 right now. Obviously, just getting that down will ramp up my wc. 


Food:

Italian sausage, 1 1/2 links
Cheese

Steak - 2/3 of one ribeye
