2020 February 17-22 Planing Ahead

“I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time.” French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal.

Waking earlier is enlightening. Eating at intervals and not binging calorie minimums has helped. Sometimes gym helps life, sometimes life helps gym. December it’s empty, February it’s capacity, and adjusting. Better weather, maybe I’ll take a lap around the block AM. Lats are tight, but didn’t know they reached so low on my back, almost middle curvature lower. Going to reduce salt and focus on gym fuel, whey shakes post workout, trying to cut. PRs are 2-3x, but BMI same, so my routine has to be honestly reviewed and altered, well thought out.

Mike O’Hearn talking about, bunk advice online, and how to ration meals consistently, the majority around a workout, and less afterwards, to increase metabolism  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujPVkWo03cY&t=503s has confirmed my thoughts on the issue. I once saw some YT’er say ‘when you’re lifting you don’t want to feel it in your muscles’ and then he drew on himself, and now I tell YT i don’t want to watch that shit. If you can’t feel it, it’s cardio, a time and a place for everything. 

Read “acidosis - an abnormal increase in the acidity of the body’s fluids, caused either by accumulation of acids or by depletion of bicarbonates” -- and now unsure if energy drinks are stunting ketosis. Hoping dehydration was simply resolved, but now knowing peri-workout nutrition, slow am carbs and green vegetables are good; and about to see how being legume free treats me, and metabolism betters with smaller meals, vitamin b, and taurine. So an energy drink, despite being sugar free, has bicarbonates/antacids to prevent acid-washing the muscles, a bazillion dollar industry. Maybe back to creatine/aminos/green tea, better nutrition knowledge, while pumping up and working out, but no more coffee.

Four years later, PR has doubled, BMI same, sick of it, can march mountains like a Román, maybe should start a row like a Viking; it's demeaning or whatever; haven't meditated in months, trapped in the shadow of thoughts, pensive to help myself dream to rest; getting up at 800 is shite at first; four years any day;
