Heading to gym tonight for first time since Jan 3rd.

But January 3rd was the first time since October 15th.

Injury and illness has kept me away.

But now, after these last five days, including today's analysis, I simply have to get back to it...

Oh shit.

Poor me one, the last three days have been madness in my fukkin office.

I have papers everywhere. Three screens, a laptop, and an ipad all going. I'm pacing around talking out analysis to others in the house. Walking around with a clipboard and an ipad like a fukkin basketball or football coach.

All the while on constant headset and speakerphones...that's right, sometimes multiple speaker phones.

This happened for more than 12 hours each day. I am fukkin burned out. Do I watch the games? Yeah, I saw them. But I watch LIVE line screens, tons of them, as they are faster than the streams which are faster than the TV.

Poor me one, my friend, I need it.

Some elliptical and core workout should reset me a bit and get me back on track.

Still very tentative with the elbow, feel like it's going to take a full year to recover from.

Here's to not hurting myself.

:cheers:

Well, hell. I hope you eased into it KVB.
Would hate to see you get dinged up.

Probably heading back over there to lay on the water massage beds for a bit.

But not too sore, just did some cardio. Will do more tonight and moving forward. So yeah, easing into it, but eventually won't be able to avoid that soreness.
Yes Planet Fitness is very affordable with solid amenities, glad you are taking advantage of it like I do.

Hit the gym right before NCAA kicked off and I started trading.

Qucik elliptical warm up and then into the functional room...

Grip excercises in the cage
Balance ball planks and pushups
Eccentric wrist extensors.

With the exception of teh wrist extensors, this time, as I add in the excercises, I'm no longer going for a certain number of reps.

I am aiming to do each excercise for :60 and eventutally :90 seconds per set, wtih 3 sets each.

I'm starting each excercise like this from the ground up, so beginning with some pretty light weights once I get to the machines.

Just did the first leg workout trying to get my weights down.

Did each of these for 60 seconds x 3 sets each. This is the very first time with this method and I’m definitely easing into it. …

Leg Press 50 x:60
Calf 45 x:60
Leg Extension 30 x:60
Leg Curls 45 x:60

Not ashamed of these light weights, they’re much less than what I was lifting when I was doing 15 reps.

Let’s see how I improve.

Recovery with a leg massage…

I am seeking TUT… “time under tension“ here,
not reps

I think I’m going to be pretty sore. I haven’t done anything like this in months.

I only do 80 lbs on the leg press myself, always afraid of poppin’ something in my lower back.

TUT is the way to go.

I was doing TUT for about 6 months with really good results. Then stopped working out for a while. Decided to get back into it, but was lazy and wanted to be a quick workout, so upped the weight to bang out quick reps and be done with it… Fawked up my shoulder. Haven’t been able to workout since. Need to go see a docter.

Fawk. I know the feeling, it sucks.

going to track my eating again, starting today, the 1st, and see how it ramps up as I start working out again.

Going to try to stick with TUT. I’m going to keep the same weight until I can comfortably get to 90 seconds, or maybe just 75, before increasing weight.

60 felt long, lol, 90 must be an eternity.

Agreed TUT is so much better for the older dudes in the gym which includes myself. Sorry about your injury, such a major setback and you were on a nice 6 month run there.

added a couple of back exercises, but no shrugs. I don’t want to pick up any dumbbells yet because of my elbow.

Still easing into it…


Row 30 x:60
Lat Pull 50 x:60

Recovery…
