Training Log: Entry 3792

AM WORKOUT (0510 wake up via Valkyrie’s Alarm)

OPERATION CORNHISTERKUR

TACTICAL BARBELL OPERATOR PRO Week 1, Workout 1 (off cycle due to travel)

15 chins
15 dips

20 minute row (4160m covered)

Notes:

• Back on the program. This week is going to be a break-in week for the rest of this 12 week training block, due to my travel schedule. I’ll do my first day of lifting tomorrow, lift twice this week, and then get back onto 3x week lifting. This row helped get me back into the rhythm of training again, and the chins and dips are part of a daily 4 sets to accumulate (at present) 60 reps total.

• Slight PR on the row, which I’m not chasing, indicative of my general fitness still in a good place. After this bridge week (more like 8-9 days), my body feels completely pain-free. That’s a novelty for me, but also indicative that my body isn’t broken: it’s just always recovering. When I actually LET it recover, it’s fine. That’s good to know.

• I broke my streak of unbroken days of physical therapy during my cruise. I was still as diligent as I could be, but had a few days where it just didn’t happen, or didn’t happen all the way. Knee still feels good though.

• Weighed 85.0kg this morning. Travel weight is sorting itself out. I had a solid breakfast of eggs, salmon and some bacon yesterday, fasted all through the travel, and had a can of salmon, a can of tuna and some anchovies as a meal when I got home, just keeping up the fish theme from the cruise. Appetite is pretty low (understandably so), and I may end up fasting until dinner for the rest of the week to get my body back on track.
