God this log is pathetic.

Right now I'm just doing strength stuff.

Olympic lifting pisses me off.

Update around May 2021....doing Deadlift and OHP focus.

Some Body builder type stuff too.

I have managed to get to here....notable metrics:

DL around : 405x1x5 / 385x1x10 [email protected] ( I could probably 405 x 6RM)

PWR CLN: 230x1 (this ties PR, maybe ... 235x1 I think)

OHP: 185x5x2 ez

INCLINE: 225x5x5 ez

NOT SQUATTING, doing hack squats and above parallel box squats and other leg shit

10-6-2021 Wed - Update.
40 almost 50.
I've adopted keto + I.F. and lost about 20 pounds. (205 ish rn)
Restarting Olympic lifts again.
Trying to see if I can regain some strength: I do the slow/strength lifts 1st and finish up with just one oly-variant of some sort to maintain speed/technique.
Only squatting 265x5x5; PC 215x1 after that; CLN DL for 365x3x5 (could probably still CNV.DL 405x1); BP 235x5x5;
Not really much going on IOW....

10-7-2021 Thur

Was going to workout today. I did my first FSQT w 135 and had a massive glute cramp or something (left, outer glute area) .... holy shit! I dropped the bar to my thighs like catching/resetting a power clean. Also my right leg, the VMO-quad area had a slight tingle/cramp. I think its the Keto is fucking with me. Yesterday was dead... and lunges which I've not done in a long time. So i've been horribly sore in the glutes also. I hope its just a cramp and not a pulled-something .... Left gym after the cramp....see what happens tomorrow. Then I pounded some potassium, magnesium, and calcium pills ..... later drank some apple cider vinegar. I will heavily salt my next meal. This would be my first cramp while working out in a long long time ....3 years? I have had some legs cramps no and then at night while all this was going on (the new keto diet). Night cramps are always the right leg, calf/tibia muscle thing on side of leg.

Today I ended a 18 hr fast: 78 glu / 1.6 ketones.

10-11-2021 MON, rest

rando blood check was
0.5 Ketones / 88 Gluc
I have NOT been fasting lately, but HAVE been ketone-ing. (very low carb).

I didn't log it here, but Sunday after yard work, I had an odd 2.3 Ketone / 76 Gluc reading....
That's my 2nd highest ketone reading ever. Weird.

--SN FROM STATIC HIGH PWR POS.--
...almost no warm up
115x2x2

165x 2r x 4s ...missed only one

Disappointed in BW @ 206.8 afterwards.
Ketones only 0.3 / Gluc 102 (expected, right after workout).

Thinking ahead ....
starting Friday, Quail season begins, so that means a shitload of walking and hiking with the dog for hours and hours and hours.
That's kinda primo fat burning exercise (LISS), so we will see if ....
#1- I lose some weight / BF.
#2- being fat adapted if I can hunt/hike easier, for longer...or better said: if I "have more energy" ... being fat adapted.
