millenium girlIt's always something isn't it? I don't even remember what it's like to not have pain in at least one place, and usually two or three places. I see these young guys benching and going plate, quarter, plate, quarter right off the bat. It takes me 4 sets just to get to 135. I'm old.

buffaloheadYes I can't get a break and an injury takes weeks or even months to heal. My dad uses to say "getting old sucks" and I didn't believe him back then. I do now.

Your log has been a good read lots of hard work and dedication here. Keep it up! #gaintrain

I'm not Mark Rippetoe's biggest fan but one thing he said that I love is, "Injuries are the price we pay for the PRIVILEGE (my emphasis) of not having sat around on our asses."

Actually, I have no problem with Mark, it's his kool-aid drinking followers that irritate me. Them and their 'if you don't do it like us, you're wrong' attitude.

 

[millenium girl]

Injuries suck lol and the older you are the longer it takes them to heal if like me you refuse to sit around on your ass all day 😀

I haven't been feeling well the last few days. Stomach pain, nausea. I have no appetite at all except at breakfast right after cardio. And my neck/right trap/left Achilles are bugging me again and I have headaches. I should probably rest. I won't work out this week-end since I work both days again.

I did 5.6 km treadmill this morning (no incline and a speed of 7.5 km/h -- 500 cals burnt).
I added 100 push ups, 100 dips, abs.

 

[millenium girl]

I won't lift or do push ups and everything until pain is gone. I will stick to cardio without incline or nothing at all.

All I did this morning is 7.2 km treadmill (you told me to go for a longer distance) at a low speed (6.5 km/h). I burnt 572 cals.

I won't workout this week-end since work will be quite busy after the attack in Barcelona, they will need everyone of us out there at the soccer game and the other events.

Knee is sore, I think it's nothing major. I blame my work shoes or the insoles (I should probably have them checked out for overpronation).

Today I did fasted cardio: 30 min elliptical because it doesn't put as much stress on the knee as the treadmill and 20 min stepper with a low resistance.

After work I ride my bike back home but it hurt my knee ...

I took it easy this morning since I wasn't allowed to sweat because of the Holter monitor.
