Mission Aborted

I tried to do my type 1 workout today (legs) and it just didn't happen. On the seventh set I became way too unstable and called it a day.

The reason that I performed so badly was this morning's Krav workout. I have never do a workout with so much leg work. Right leg kicks until I tell you stop! Left leg kicks until I tell you stop! Now double right kicks! Double left kicks! No pretend that the bag just called your mother a whore and both your arms are broken!

My legs were shot coming into the workout and it showed. An epic fail.

Squat
3 @ 225
3 @ 225
3 @ 225
3 @ 225
3 @ 225
3 @ 225
3 @ 225

FAIL

On a note completely unrelated to the previous post...

I have a...friend. This friend likes to lift hard and heavy. But he also does a marital art. He does...tai chi. Yeah, tai chi... And this work load is just crushing him to the point where his weight lifting is suffering pretty badly.

Anyway, hypothetically speaking, let's say this friend has enough prohormones to choke a horse. Actually, he's got enough to choke several horses...and a donkey...and maybe a cat. Or, at least, a pygmy marmoset.

Do you guys think it would be wise for him to do a three week cycle of 10mg of M1T?

Mission aborted lol.

I hate those days. Usually for me it's when I attempt to go on Saturday morning still running on vodka.

The cycle won't solve your problem. It'll only give a temporary boost.

You'll need to manage fatigue in order to solve your problem.

Nah! Flat ass. Flat chest. Narrow hips. "She" is probably a man too.

Drunken weight training. I'd pay money to see that!

Yeah, I know. But I'd just like to go full steam for a few weeks. I figure that between the weights and the Krav, I'd make great gains. And when I went off (after PCT) doing both would be easier than before.

Be careful M1T is the strongest shit you can take. Also make sure you have a REAL anti estrogen/ armotaze inhibitor. Whats your weight and what does your diet look like? What's the PCT plan? Lay out your full workout schedule and doseing idea.

I'll also be doing 5 sprays (200mg) of 4-DERM morning and night.

I'll also be taking 1000mg of saw palmetto for any blood pressure problems and 1500mg of hawthorn berry for the prostate.

It case things start to go tits up, literally, and for PCT, I have Nolvadex (tomoxifen citrate), aka liquid ass.

For PCT, I'll do Nolvadex at 60/40/40/20mg. I'll continue on with the saw palmetto and the hawthorn berry, as well.

I currently wight in at 215 or so. My diet is about as good as it's ever been, which is just okay.

My workout plan:

Monday AM: Krav
Monday PM: Weights

Tuesday AM: off
Tuesday PM: Krav

Wednesday AM: Krav
Wednesday PM: Weights

Thursday AM: off
Thursday PM: Krav

Friday AM: Weights
Friday PM: off

Saturday AM: Krav
Saturday PM: off

Sunday AM: off
Sunday PM: off

I'll also try to fit in some bag time at home.

So, what do you think?

Posted by: DOMS

What. The. Fuck?!

I went to do the upper push workout today. I started off with 3 reps at 175. That's 40 pounds below my PR and I was weak as shit.

What the hell is going on? I don't feel sub par in any other way. It can't be overtraining. I don't do enough. I'm getting plenty of food and sleep. I didn't even go to class today.

This is starting to get seriously frustrating.

It also happened during my last workout (legs) two days ago.

Posted by: Witchblade

Hm, overtraining would be my first guess. Don't underestimate the stress placed on your body by all the Krav classes.

Do you suffer from any symptoms?

Symptoms

I'm sleeping just fine. I even got 9 hours today.

From 0 to 10.

- Feeling lethargic : 0
- Decline or plateau in performance (very common) : 9
- Lack of motivation to work out (very common) : 0
- Insomnia : 0
- Decreased appetite : 0
- Recurring illness : 0
- Persistant muscle/joint soreness : 0

Aside from the crappy workout performance, I feel fine. Better than fine, actually. That's why I'm so confused.

Are you working out in a rush? I can't focus very well when I do that leading to a decrease in strenght.

No. I work, and workout, at home. I have very little stress or commitments to rush me along.

Are you sure? Did it have something to do with that Messican outside your window wearing the "kick me" sign?

Posted by: kiko

Are you touching yourself before working out? That could be the problem.

Maybe you should take 3-5 days off just to heal up.

Are you kidding? I touch myself while I workout. I've made some great gains that way.

I took your advice. In the last 8 days, I didn't workout once and only went to Krav once. I'm going to wait until the weekend to life, but I'll go to Krav tomorrow and Friday.

Thanks, man. I really like the job. Like I said, I work in the IT department of a huge hospital. Everyone that I work with is really nice. Hell, on my first day, my boss took me out to lunch.

I haven't worked out for 8 days. I also haven't done Krav but once in that time. I'm going to scrap my steroid plans because I've started working. Though I may do it later. I'm going to workout this weekend. Here's hoping that it goes well.

Heya, Sam!

I'm busy, busy, busy.

Sadly, I have a job now.

So I spend a lot of time doing that.

I spend Tuesday through Thursday nights doing Krav. Oh, and I started doing fight night. My first night out I was hit hard enough in the face that my nose made a crunch sound. For my part, I hit with a wicked four-punch combo that ended in a uppercut. Plus, I did this left-right-left right kick combo followed up with a right hook that connected hard. I think I did well.

I've been a real slacker. I haven't worked out in a month or so. My plan is to workout this Saturday to test where I am on my bench, squat, and deads.

On the up side, I'm down to 214 pounds (15.28 stone). My old pants are falling off my ass. Literally. I'm eating better than I have in a long time.

So, how's life treating you?

Like I told Sam, getting into the swing of my new job has put a real kink in my day-to-day. I should workout this Saturday. Plus, a couple of weeks ago, I tweaked my left shoulder at Krav. When that happens, I give myself a mandatory month off of weights. I always play it safe, rather than sorry, when I'm injured.

On Sunday, after a two month hiatus, I tested my PRs.

Bench: 210 (5 off of my PR).
Squat: 260 (20 off of my PR).
Deads: 275 (25 off of my PR).

Considering that I've been focusing on endurance, I'm not too upset.

On last fight night, I had fun. Well, I guess it's "fun" in the way that I find pain to be fun.

We were doing an endurance exericse. There were four of us and, taking turns, one guy would be "it" while the rest took 15 second turns fight him for 2 minutes straight. During my turn, I took a spinning back kick (an illegal move I might add) from a 250 pound guy, right to the teabag. Despite that, I went on. Only to be rewarded with a crunched and bloody nose.

Like I said, it was fun.

You sadomasochist you.

Was the 250lb guy a Mexican?

Your 1RM's still look good.

Posted by: Malley

Parenting is fantastic. I wish I could be there more, but with the new job its just not in the cards. I put in nothing but 10 hour days and I drive an hour to and from work. Oh well, the all mighty dollar calls.

Surprisingly...not yet. But give it some time.

Things are going okay. My new job kicks ass. It's a large corporate environment, but 95%+ of the people are very friendly. After doing work for Boeing and Union Pacific, it's kinda of strange.

I'm down to 214 pounds, and it really shows through the torso.

As of last this week, I've stopped going to Krav. I'm taking a two month hiatus. Mostly because my work will have random days of long hours. The class isn't cheap and every missed class is a $20 loss. In the meantime, I'm going to focus on weight training again. As a matter of fact, I'm going to do a session in 1 hour.

My punching strength really came up in the last six months. I used to do a class every now and then where I'd go without gloves. Last week I tried to do that for the first time in two months. I stripped some of the skin off my knuckles.
