Billy__Beane 05/21/20 6:51:20 AM #404:	My diet is finally better.... Been consistent at 1500 calories a day now, no cardio, just lifting 5 days a week. It's probably 4 days a week of volume but I split one of my days just to save time. This week is gonna be the roughest. I'm night shift for the next 4 nights after working 13 hour days 3 days in a row. Then I go straight from night to days on Sun-Mon, which would be a full 26 hours straight, followed by a 13 hour day shift on Tuesday. Then I work Wed and Thur day, 6 hour shifts, then Friday night again 12 hours, then finally off sat and sun, and back to normal after that. Goal is avoid junk food, get as many mini naps as I can, and keep lifting right before I start my shift. <cite>Billy__Beane posted [p:939483893] in How are yo...

Post-workout I downed four slices of white cheddar cheese and four eggs for more protein with no carbohydrates. Ill probably eat later again later today after taking the dogs out for a walk. I had yogurt and mixed nuts before my workout and I'm having steak and veggies for dinner. Not sure what else I wanna have yet...

My best recent mile is 7:35, but if I went all-out I think I could do 7.

Still haven't gotten below 250lbs but we'll get there. I'll be timing my walk today and comparing to last week's progress. Hopefully it has gone done some.

So I think it was just a diet and motivation thing. felt like I took it easy on cardio but I went 7.47 miles on my bike, that's my 2nd or 3rd best distance. Taking it light on weights really makes a difference Hopefully I'm on the road to 150 now </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Jiek_Fafn 05/23/20 3:19:33 PM #440:	Finished the first week back on a more traditional full body split. I was definitely able to lift more effectively with proper rest. Also, it doesn't take all damn day. My previous heavy volume routine seemed to address some of my muscle imbalances though. Grip strength is noticeably better and my stabilizing muscles in a bunch of my lifts don't hold me back as much. While I can't test new PRs on most lifts until I go to a gym, I should be able to up my working weight on most lifts soon. There's probably easier ways for me to have made similar progress, but whatever. If only I could keep my diet in check... --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:939600231] in How are yo...

Which should I trust My first time, they match, but as time goes on, my GPS watch just lags behind the app in terms of distance seen. My watch will say 6.7 miles while Strava does 7 miles Depending on where you're walking, GPS drift can cause minor shifts in position that probably get recorded as movement. Over 7 miles, those little shifts at up. Like, if you go inside your house, bring up maps, and zoom in you can actually watch the icon bounce around even though you're perfectly stationary. Your watch probably has a filter that cleans up the noisy data to produce a more accurate distance. Or it uses a combination of GPS and IMU. Your phone app is probably just using raw position and so that's why you're seeing a difference in distance. Edit: the easiest way to test which is right would be to walk a couple miles next to a road and then drive that path with your trip meter reset. Whichever one is closer to your car should be the right measurement. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
