Dunno lowered the rep range tonight. :-\

Deadlift 100Ib/5 200Ib/4 300Ib/4 350Ib/2 370Ib/0

Weighted dips 0/5 40Ib/3 90Ib/3 105Ib/3 120Ib/2

Still not quite feeling fresh. :P
Those classes can be purchased in allotments of 5, i figure worst case scenario i can attend/survive 5 beginners classes given enough time.

Sorry I figure this thread is jumbled anyway & don't want to start a new one.
Wanted to post latest results from the doc somewhere.

Cholesterol is down from 5.0 to 4.3
HDL up 1.57 to 1.97
LDL down 3.2 to 2.1
Trig 0.6 to 0.4

Awesome but!

ALP (147) & AST (95) are both high, fatty liver ???

I guess google is my friend but maybe i should cut back on fat? currently eating around 60%.

I have yet to meet anyone who lifted weights seriously and didn't have "fatty liver" or "unsafe levels of creatinine" in their liver panels... regardless of their bodyfat and health.

Not saying it isn't serious, just that it's common.
Diets fail because society as a whole believes body image is more important than health. The problem is that obesity is simply one of many symptoms of an illness, not the illness itself.

And I'm being cured.

It seems fructose might be the nasty, my omega 3/6 ratio is good.
Will cut out the juice before & or after training & limit fruit intake to only those times, it's something to go with for now.

For the past 10 years or so I've kept a squeezebottle of honey in my gym bag to have a teaspoon post-workout. Mostly because my old workouts would stress me to the point of nausea if I tried to choke down anything other than water... the little insulin boost would kill the nausea and refill glycogen at the same time. 20 min after workout it was game time for food.

Good idea!

I have been training once per week with FCF, the trainers have made a change with the beginners class now compulsory. ;D

Been including some METCON & Oly practice at my regular cheap social/fitness gym.
Bonus extra weirdness looks, especially after METCON which pumps you up like popeye. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Tried a little EDT today, (deadlift/dips) estimated the weight a bit light but nonetheless certainly found it draining.

Thinking about a "contra lateral" split (right side upper body, left lower one day then left side upper body right lower the next) simply because it's the best split i have used for consecutive training days (with DOMS) & i need to ramp it up & work on conditioning. Will probably use the PR zone protocol.

I'm due another liver retest next week, having a break no lifting most of this one. :P
Update since last post!

Day 1
Rest

Day 2
Caveman training

Day3
Jog or rest

Day 4
PR Zone 15min
Hack squat
Stiff legged deadlift

PR Zone 15min
DB bench press
DB rows

Grip ("static hold" on chinup bar)

Situps

Day 5
Jog or rest

Day 6
PR Zone 15min
Left & right DB snatch

PR Zone 15min
Chins
Push press

Grip ("static hold" on chinup bar)

Situps

Day 7
Whatever i feel like, mostly BW stuff & or during sprints.
Rest if needed.

Outlaid a fair bit for home gear earlier & couldn't afford to renew caveman membership, tried this as an alternative.

PR Zone 20min
Clean & Press

Didn't quite get how to judge rest periods but sure was very tired the next day!
Wlfdg how do you judge your breaks without an antagonist exercise pairing?

PR Zone 15min
Left & right turkish getups

Grip ("static hold" on chinup bar)

Situps

Pulling up quite well with EDT & enjoy the timer, a really nice mental switch.

Time to start anew next week, hopefully flexible enough for comfortable squats. :)

I don't really take breaks on antagonisitic pairings. Just long enough to switch exercises. I might mark my journal and grab a sip of water in between.

Standard for mat seems to be no rest between A>B with 60sec. between B>A.

Oh OK thanks! 8)

Just seemed like two options say for instance when loosing acceleration on the final rep (press motion) of the clean & press.

Drop a rep (possibly to easy without shortening breaks?) or take a 10-15 second longer break & keep rep number the same, guess it's a little ambiguous & up to the individual?

I think at this point you'll be in the "what I feel is best for the day" group. I prefer shorter rest periods. Relatively speaking of course.

Damn!!!
Struggled remembering the METCON round order tonight :-[

Kettlebell swings
Burpee box jump
Kettlebell snatch
Situp squats

Then mistakenly sampled 5 mouthfuls of raw liver & kidney in a bone broth "soup" upon coming home.. :P :(
