RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

Had a great full body workout yesterday but I think I did something to my right elbow. Feels like horrible tendinitis or I tore/stretched a tendon. It is right where one would get tennis elbow. Going to have to lay off some movements until it heals up.

Did 12 miles on the mountain bike today.

Did it fasted with Austinite's pre workout and fat loss stack. I also had a 4:1 carbrotein drink with that I sipped along the way. Still feel good right now and not even hungry yet.

[RaginCajun]

Went on a 4 mile walk this evening in the 100 degree heat.

Just bought a Crockpot, bout to cook up some BBQ pulled chicken tenderloins. Test run! Also test running some baked sweet potato chips!

And protein brownies!

[RaginCajun]

Just got finished with a 20 mile bike ride. Felt great!

Where you at stat wise currently buddy?

[RaginCajun]

Where you at stat wise currently buddy?

Started cycle at 166-168lbs @ 19% bf (guess from pics) and currently at 183lbs @ 17% maybe? 6 weeks into cycle.

First weekend home in a while so I was able to train like I wanted. Can't tell if I have horrible tendinitis in my right elbow or I may have tore something. Gonna lay off all gripping exercises and do what I can in regards to lifting. Same ole shit, take two forwards and three steps back!

Diet was all over the place on the weekends over the past two months cuz of all the weddings and bachelor parties. Back on track and hoping to lean out during these last 4 weeks of this cycle.

I am loving Austinite's pre workout supplements and also doing his fat loss stack. Just started that this week and feeling really good!

And this is my 8,000th post!

[RaginCajun]

Just went a on a lil 4.5 mile walk. Ready to cool off and maul some chicken!

[RaginCajun]

Cardio done, 3.2 miles in 30 minutes. My legs are so pumped right now and were through out my run. Plan on going swim tomorrow morning

[RaginCajun]

Did a lil workout today, tried to see what I can do instead of rest

Head is harder than titanium! Should have just did cardio like I set out to do! Right elbow tendon is jacked up, feel a crackin in my wrist and feel it in my joint.

[RaginCajun]

Did 15 miles on the road bike. Right elbow still out of commission.

[RaginCajun]

Took today off to cook!

Slow cooked trimmed brisket, couscous with pine nuts and peas (used juice from brisket instead of water, so good!), tuna/boiled eggs/dill pickle/creole sweet-spicy mustard, and protein chocolate banana almond muffins (mainly followed BiB's recipe, next time will be adding natty pb chunks in it)

Plan on cooking some chicken tenderloins either tomorrow or Tuesday.

[RaginCajun]

Swam for 20 minutes this morning,first time in over two months. When ya don't use it ya lose it! Even though I am stronger than two months ago, my endurance just wasn't there. I can tell that I am bigger so to speak, my tight ass swimsuit was really tight on my legs this morning.

How do u spell over training?

[RaginCajun]

How do u spell over training?

those words are not in my vocabulary mam!!!!!!!!

[RaginCajun]

3.5 miles of walking done. My legs are hurting from the walk. Def need new shoes but I don't walk straight so my body hurts when I run. Left leg feels like it takes all the weight. Left patellar tendon and knee cap are always tight along with my hamstring on that side. I am flexible but my muscles never seem to, relax. Sucks but I just bite down and do it! I need a massage really bad!

[RaginCajun]

Did an hour of cardio yesterday morning with 10 min being running stairs

Diet was sharp yesterday

Today, did 45 min of cardio with 10 min being stairs again.

Diet will be the same as yesterday

[RaginCajun]

50 minutes of cycling on my trainer

Did an interval workout on it

I think my endurance will get better when I get off this cycle, my legs are staying pumped the whole time

Good job bro.. Regarding your walking and running, you should have a full gait analysis done to help with that! I had bad shins and knees but wearing the correct footwear really helps

I had the same problem but a lesser degree... Having gait done helped improve a lot and simply Learning the difference between different shoes recommended for me!!

oh yes, I get fitted for shoes. but, I think I need some type of orthotics to help out with straightening out my hips.

my hips are shifted some making my left leg appear and feel shorter. I also tore that knee up about 10 years ago

it hurts in my knee, ankle, and hip of my left leg

[-KJ-]

i also have orthotics mainly wear them when i wear flat trainers or shoes are they support my arches..

Also prevent me from gettin shin splints that i suffer from!

definitly worth looking into it before it gets any worse bro!!

true dat!

I have never really had shin splints before.

I have a high arch but my feet do not feel like they strike the ground in the same consistent manner.

i have the chills for a second day in row?

feel tired today and can't tell if it is from not sleeping well or lack of carbs.

my carbs were pretty high yesterday at 223g so guessing it is just lack of sleep.

i hate to rest and/or sit still, so something has to give!

Ummmm. How do u spell over training???

[RaginCajun]

Ummmm. How do u spell over training???

I still have no clue!!!!

I can't sit still! if I do, I eat. I eat, I get fat. I rest, my back hurts. when I am active, it feels better.

stressed out to all hell with work, so haven't really trained too much this week. did Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday cardio, but that is it.

being stressed about work sucks!!!

now you can see that I have no clue what this over training thing you talk about is!

[RaginCajun]

Did a 4.25 mile walk today.

Wedding was fun last night, danced for cardio!

Trying to get myself organized with work and lifestyle.

Elbow is still shaky so no lifting yet or anything. Going to try to strengthen my tendons in my forearm to see if it will help out

[RaginCajun]

Did a 3.2 mile walk/sprint. Did 3 long sprints during the time, felt like my heart was jumping out my chest!

Took my last shot today so will be in PCT soon.

Is getting the chills a symptom of over training or just a bit of random info? I've been noticing I'm getting the chills during and after my workout laity.

I have no clue.

And I don't know what over training is?

Ask GGR, she seems to know about the stuff

Haha I agree! There is no such thing as over training! I mean.. Isn't that kinda the point?
I don't lift at Planet Fitness ha

[RaginCajun]

Damn, just noticed I haven't posted anything in almost a week, and you will be happy to know GIrly that I rested some.

Well, in PCT now so hoping to keep my gains without lifting weights with my upper body. I plan on a leg day Wednesday.

Over the past week, I have done an hour long walk, rode 16 miles, and ran 3.2 miles today.

It seems that all of muscles, tendons, and ligaments are really tight, so I bought a massage torture tool roller! I have been using it daily but in the spots where it really hurts (elbow and left thigh/iT band) when I really dig deep. I am bruised from it!!!! Which brings another point to mind that I bruise so easy and heal slow like molasses. I have always been this way, could this be a sign of anemia? When I worked in a lab, I would get my blood tested a lot but the tests never showed anything (CBC). I wish I knew what was wrong with me in that sense. I broke my right arm twice playing/throwing a baseball because I had a bone cyst in which my bone was basically hollow. But guess what, it never stopped me from playing!!!
