Just gonna use this thread for my thoughts about training and what I'm currently doing. Not really a log per say since I have that on pen and paper. Here goes nothing :
Currently I'm following the Rite of Passage with the 16 kg. I'm matching every press with a chin up. I might pick up some rings to spice it up. My most recent heavy day was 4(1,2,3,4) 1(1,2,3) 16 kg presses matched with chin ups. I'm adding one 4th rung every week. So next week it will be 5(1,2,3,4) presses and then I'll do the same thing up to 5(1,2,3,4,5). I roll the dice for my swings and snatches. Something I've noticed is that the volume really creeps up on you, some heavy days can be rather taxing.
I do nothing on variety days except for mobility, walking and 3 x 5 16 kg goblet squats with curls, which I do every single day regardless. I follow Steve Maxwell mobility, CC2 Trifecta, goblet squats per S&S and I hang from a pull up bar. Once work dials down though, I might start doing some Turkish Getup's with a heavier bell on variety days in addition to goblet squats.
I currently do an extreme version of the Warrior Diet. I only drink some coffee and water during the day and eat as much as I want night. I am a pescatarian. So I eat wild caught fish, pastured eggs/dairy, vegetables, fruit,grains,potatoes, pizza and a insane amount of nuts and seeds. I never eat the grains/fruit with nuts/seeds. It's either or for me. I'm only doing this extreme version until I decide to do a mass building program and then I'll start incorporating small protein meals throughout the day.
Mentally, I really struggle currently with stressing out over silly things. Considering my moniker on this forum, this really shouldn't be the case. I overanalyze the smallest things and get stressed over them. I realize it's a problem and I'm working on it. If I treated my mental health like I treated strength training maybe I would be better off. If anyone has any tips it would be much appreciated.
