gamer.tv Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 First pre-season rugby in a while. It might just be that I’ve run a lot, abut it was pretty easy. I can’t say I’m complaining though - but it was a reminder that I need to get more strength to go with the conditioning that I do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Think I'm gonna start posting here as well... lost a bunch of weight last year and got below 200lbs for the first time since my early 30's. Gained it back in recent months due to working a lot and eating shit. Just got back from New Orleans I and I'd guess I'm somewhere around 220. About to start training again. Will keep track of my progress here with you guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFKAK Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I’ve decided to relax until around 9/6. Then I can go back to hard training. Seychelles in November so I need to prep for that and I’m gonna be a plus one twice in October as well. feels real weird training for normal reasons. And I absolutely need to get off aas.

SuperSpreader Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Started working out harder since my dog passed away. I was feeling very strong and ended up tearing a tendon in my shoulder. Working through it, the biggest limitations is curls. I was curling 60lb dumbbell and I had to go down to 20lbs. 😭 Dumbbell press is strong tho. Been doing (X10) 80s, 85s, then down to (X8) 35 all the way to 95. Squatting I haven't been pushing, I'm stuck at 335 at the moment. With pulls and overhead presses I can do the whole weight stack. It's getting easy so I'm gonna have to figure something out. Gained 25lbs since he passed away, gotta get back down. I miss him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFKAK Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 My diet was so strict for so long I’ve bloated like a mf the last two weeks as I relaxed a bit and retained way too much weight. I can likely use an old bodybuilding trick to lean out by Thursday but not holding out much hope. my gf will just have to accept shirts in Cabo 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’ve had two sessions with an oesteopath to try and sort out my hip. It turns out my left hip was about…an inch and a half higher than the other side (rugby trauma) so that was causing me a lot of issues running. That’s been fixed and I’ve gone from constantly having hip tightness pain on the left and calf pain on the right to…nothing. Ran five miles today and the only parts that hurt were my legs and lungs running up some hills. It was genuinely ace. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Also signed up to a running club tomorrow (at least…I think I have). So that’ll be running tomorrow, rugby on Tuesday, clean, tidy house then off to a festival for 4 nights. I’m planning on bringing my gear as there are fitness sessions etc to recover from a nigh on guaranteed horrible hangover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After warming my hip up for around 30 minutes he pulled really, really hard on my leg. Then a few more stretches and then a ‘drop’ - so forcing it down a bit more. Repeated it the next session with more mobility work. When I say he pulled it hard, I mean if it was my head, I’d be dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Running club was decent. 5.3 miles and a decent pace, more importantly it’s great to see running routes around where I live that I’d have never found on my own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Rugby training tonight was great fun. I also secretly love doing some pretty hard training and being the least tired of everyone. It makes the last few months of running, hiking l, and generally always choosing the physical choice more worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUFKAK Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Back on my hardcore training. august was spent in places with great food so damn right I was having pizza in Sardinia often. Now though I’m regretting that choice when I look in the mirror. Two a days on my off days for sure before my next trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I decreased my caffeine content by more than half 2 days ago. I now am only drinking a few cups of green tea each day. Holy shit is this difficult! Massive headaches and I feel extremely tired and unfocused. I just have to fight through it and I'll be healthier for it.

gamer.tv Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I’ve already decided that my New Years resolution will be no caffeine at all for a year. This years ‘no bread’ has been great, with the odd pizza because I’m not a lunatic, and one I’ll keep up. Did a few runs around my local area now school has started. Nothing like a nice 3 mile run with about 8 hills, carrying a 12lb back pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must lower the amount slowly and then you can eventually stop caffeine use all together. What I'm doing now is extremely difficult and I'm not trying to get off caffeine all together. Just a healthier amount and from a better source in green tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was 5 hour energy drinks and monster energy drinks daily. I was consuming way too much caffeine in a day. My heart was beating out of my chest to go along with the other medical issue I have now. So it's been 3 cups of green tea a day for the last two days. It finally hit me this morning big time. Massive headache, body is sore, blurred vision, and extremely tired. I just have to let my body adjust 😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
