Weight is at 226#

Trying to keep things together while injured. Not horrible, but maintaining bodycomp OK, while actually being pretty sparse with training, and even being a little of a slacker on nutrition (hence the cheat yesterday, and the regular wine drinking. No one is perfect. I also have been getting into a little more yummy grassfed cheese with the wine and if I were to cut that out completely, things would tighten up. Not worried about it.)

TRAINING:

5PM-

BACK SQUAT. 100 REPS WITH 225# IN 2,3,5 LADDERS ON THE MINUTE, FOR 30 MINUTES OF METABOLIC TRAINING.

I think this is actually doing what it is supposed to, which is, introducing a mass amount of stress. I could feel the stress hormones were sky high after this and didn't get much sleep. Woke up about 430am and couldn't get back to sleep. Yeah, I did intake a good amount of caffeine today, but no more than on any other day and not at a time that would be different.

Exercise is a hormetic stressor, which means that you basically expose yourself to a toxic dose of something and then, if it doesn't kill you, you bounce back just a little tougher. For the past few weeks, I've been experimenting with doing strength training for just over 60 minutes total for the entire week Injuries can be productive if you learn new training techniques because of them.
