Damn, nice #’s. I just mowed. My resting heart rate isn’t measurable. Lol. Shit it’s hot/humid.

**RaginCajun** · 07-20-2018, 06:48 AM

Yesterday evening, 13 minutes on treadmill and stretched. Was bored, lol

Today, went in and foam rolled, stretched, and did 15 on the bike. My legs are super tight still from squats the other day.

Well, punch today in the face!!!

**RaginCajun** · 07-22-2018, 12:07 PM

Played in a golf yesterday, was hot but had a blast! Drank and ate too much.

Today, cut the grass and sweated out some of those demons out! Still eating too much, haha

I have to get back on track here too. Getting those young’uns married was top priority for the past week/ten days so now that’s over, hopefully I can get back on my meal prep as well.

I did the January one, was the only natty one but took bad picks at the end. I don’t have time to commit to it as I have a lot going on this fall. I’m just going to keep chugging along merrily!

**RaginCajun** · 07-25-2018, 08:15 AM

This AM, mainly spent time foam rolling my knotted up legs. They hurt! I think I need to focus more on this and doing pliability work.

I know you have issues in that dept. It’s gotta be tough, I’m sure. Sure wish you could find a more permanent solution to this man.

**bethdoth** · 07-26-2018, 07:53 AM

Ya the comp takes a lot of time and commitment just for bragging rights!!! I am glad it's over. You know me nothing will really change I will still hit it hard and try to look better next year than I do this year.

**RaginCajun** · 07-28-2018, 10:35 AM

Forgot to log yesterday’s workout. Did 15 minutes on the bike, foam rolled, and did some rubber band work.

Today, sweated some demons out on my road bike, did 10 miles. I need to step it up and ride longer!

**RaginCajun** · 08-04-2018, 12:06 PM

Went in and did 15 on bike, foam rolled, and just went through some different exercises doing light weight and reps. Body feels tight so just wanted to get some blood flowing through my muscles

**RaginCajun** · 08-05-2018, 11:39 AM

Crazy how tight my legs, mainly my hammies and groin muscles are. Seems every time I work them hard, they stay sore and really tight for days. It honestly sucks. Makes me think I am lacking and enzyme/mineral or something to help them relax.

Ever had your magnesium levels checked? If not, might be worth asking to have that added to your next labs.

I can’t remember but I think I did last go round, was normal. I think it is weak muscles: abs, glutes, and all those lower back muscles. Going to work on strengthening those, and see what happens

**RaginCajun** · 08-07-2018, 07:25 AM

As posted above, I’ll be working on glutes, abs, calves, and lower back muscles. Pretty sure these are my weak points and causing some of the issues I’m having. Looks like I have anterior pelvic tilt which could be the culprit in a lot of this. Will be working on those muscles and eat a lil better! Had a lot of junk over the weekend!

**RaginCajun** · 08-07-2018, 04:58 PM

75 minutes of cutting the grass. Man it was hot and the grass blew all over me, has my allergies going crazy!

**RaginCajun** · 08-08-2018, 08:26 AM

40 minutes in the gym. 16 on bike, stretched, did some abs, and glutes. Still tight as hell. Felt like a lactic acid knot in my hammy? My body hates me
