I was only out for a split second. The regained partial consciousness because I felt my head hit the floor. It hurt.

Damn, your unconsciousness didn’t even give you the benefit of being passed out for the brunt of the pain. That’s rough

Damn man. I’ve never passed out IN the gym but I have while posing at home afterward. 225+ on your shoulders/possibly into your lap doesn’t sound fun

Yeah I’m good. I’ve done tons of front squats and OHP and never had that happen before.

Good to see you’re back at it

Forgot to check in with my workout this weekend but it was absolute garbage. I think I’m going to have to take a couple weeks off of squats because whatever is happening to my hip flexor is becoming too painful to bite through at this point.

Yeah, take some time off. Work on mobility and flexibility in the mean time.

Volume day.

5 giant sets of spider bar good mornings (5 reps at 225-255), belts squats x8, weighted pushups and 200 LB sandbag carries.

Sled dragging to finish. Those giant sets were rough on the ol cardio.

Grinded through today even though I’m low carb and low calorie (hit about 1900 cals). Had about 100 grams of carbs (oatmeal and sweet potato) and slight headache by dinner time since my body isn’t quite used to that—trying to deplete for the beach this weekend.

Am 30 mins cardio

PM back—
Bent over BB rows 4 sets 185x10
Deadlifts 2 warmups with 225; working 4 sets 315x8
T Bar rows 4 sets 4 plates x 10 reps
One arm DB rows 4 sets 100 x 10 reps

I think I missed my 5th exercise (should’ve been lat pull downs) but was feeling a little slow and started to cramp a bit in my lats at the end so I wrapped it up

I’m eating around 1700 cals daily. fricking sucks. My hamstrings are shot today from the 200 kb swings. Squats are a BITCH today. Remind me not to do kb swings the day before squats.

This low calorie shite is for the birds. After I get some beach pics I’m going to be jacked to go heavy on the rice/potatoes/turkey-steak-chicken. Trying to eat more white fish and it’s just not my thing. Got my cardio done this morning so I don’t have to worry about it tonight

Pulled a spinal erector doing strongman stuff last night. Fuuudge.

So, just upper body recovery tonight.

2 giant sets of 225x6 bench, rows, side laterals and 50 lb slamball chest passes. 2 more with feet elevated pushups in for bench and some dead bench for a 5th exercise.

Hoping it might heal in time for some leg work Friday. We'll see.

Get in a sauna if you can. Dry heat is good for muscles.

Split Jerk 185x3
OHP 125x5/140x3/155x1
Incline press 90-5x10
Shrugs 195-5x10
Superset: curls 5x10
Dead hand leg lifts-3x1

Hit the heavy bag gloveless today. Didn’t want to rifle the bag for 15 straight minutes. Elbows are a bit sore.

Thanks. I'm going to try a little ice/heat alternating at work. Hope you're doing better from the passing out episode.

Up fairly easily thanks to some Metallica .
