You give me too much credit, I'm only in this situation because I didn't have enough willpower over the winter lol. I'm in the low 20% body fat range right now if I had to guess, and I should be in the mid teens
First day back to gym since testing positive for covid. Still on leave ti the 19th for shallow breathing. Doctor said tread mill would be good.
15 minutes on elliptical..8 of a mile normal is 1.1 or 1.2 miles But goal was 15 minutes which I did. Then did my barbell chest and shoulder workout with about half the normal weight. Pushed through which was good and completed the whole workout.
Did the inhaler the Doctor gave me
Still breathing heavily about a hour to a hour and a half later but feels good.

I've been back at it for a little less than 3 weeks. Muscle memory is coming back and my lungs are feeling pretty good again. Cardio is starting to get easier. Now that I'm back in a routine, I need to adjust my diet a little if I want to lose weight. My appetite has been ridiculous since I've started lifting weights again.
I took last night off to rest, so today is leg day.

my arm is still fucked from when i posted about it some time ago. although did arms/back yesterday and it usually kinda gets to be more tolerable pain that i live with, now it's worse than ever though. still went to muay thai today and mostly avoided using it. still not sure if it was from something in the jab or maybe over extending it, it's pretty obvious to me now though that extending my arm fully causes discomfort and pain and pronating it inwards, in the gym a bicep curl reveals this the most. in any case going to try and only box with 1 arm and avoid some exercises in the gym now and hope it actually gets better and ignoring it doesn't affect muh gainz too much.
So I imported my data from Fitbit to MapMyRide to see if it showed some different stats. Just gonna say I need a better logging app, other than Strava.
According to MayMyRide I managed to achieve a peak velocity of 20,886.67 mph for a duration of about two minutes. Those new cycling shoes are impressive.
I know, right?
I just want a single app that I can use to track activity like walking/cycling/hiking that will give me a weekly report on what I've accomplished (or show how lazy I've been), with some kind of calendar stats that show past 30 days, quarter, etc and can filter on activity. Or shit, just give me dump of the data in Excel and I'll do it myself.
The Fitbit app isn't too bad, it just doesn't play well with others. It also only gives a couple of stats, some of which are worthless, and the weekly report has a lot to be desired. Strava is okay, but no reporting, no historical stats. I really liked Endomondo cause it did everything, but they shut it down to make a whole bunch of crappy apps, like the "MapMyxxxx" ones.
So want to be able to look at a chart and go, okay, I walked "x" many miles last month and I rode "x" many miles. Not have it all combined, or have to open each activity to see the details.
The MapMyRide is almost there, but the data import (.TCX file) obviously has accuracy issues.
2nd day in a row back in the gym. Took some pre work. Felt good. Better pace on 15 min cardo. Went light on barbell again. Was a smart move.
Woo went this morning. Got a mile in on the elliptical in under 15 minutes. That's pre covid time. Did shoulders and chest.
seems i most likely did hyperextend my elbow, kinda months ago, so trying to baby it 3-4 weeks now. will skip arms/back this week since my gym is closed for thai new year.
accidentally kneed a guy in the face at muay thai today, although it was pretty light, plus it was more him putting his face into my knee? from a failed (and apparently not legal) trip attempt (instead of a sweep) - didn't feel bad, he was annoying trying to take me down like that anyway (i don't think it is generally good sparring etiquette?) and he was doing a pretty shitty job of just largely kicking me pretty hard.

been wondering if going only/mostly incline is better than flat, in terms of aesthetics vs. strength? thoughts?
I really dont know the answer to that. I like to mix things up (trick the body). So some chest days, I'll hit flat, incline and decline. Other days I'll do all flat or all incline work, then I have days where I do all cable work. Not a huge fan of decline (bothers my shoulder), so I never dedicate a full workout to decline.
That
That sucks and I feel your pain. How heavy were you squatting when you tweaked your back?
I took the weekend off to rest after going hard for the last 2.5 weeks. Muscle memory is coming back and I'm lifting about the same as I was in March 202 before everything closed.
I'll be back at it tonight. I want to do chest, but so do everyone else in Mondays, so it may just be a cardio day if the gym is packed.

I initially tweaked it around 350 and then continued all the way to 405. It felt pretty good so I tried squatting light (>225) and it started to act up again to I did weighted lower back extensiosn and that's where it told me to fuck off.
Did my last hike in Colorado to St. Maryās Falls, itās an out and back trail for a total of 7.5 miles. This one was pretty exhausting as I the entire way was hiking in 6-8ā of snow. Stupid watch stopped recording my hike and I had to restart it.
