7.8 mile hike today
10K (6.2 mile) trail race yesterday
24th out of 111 runners
my effing pants were falling down the entire race and I had to pull em up while running and ensuring my key fob did not fall out the back pocket shit shit shit
i severely injured my leg doing splits the other week. i was in my gym and some women were doing yoga around me and of course i had to show off. so i can do a front split with my left leg out, and hit the floor if i relax slow enough. with right leg out im still like 3-4" above the floor. so i had to be a bonehead and just pushed my body down into it. i heard a snapping sound, and diddnt feel pain but could feel connective tissue tearing and a big pop from my ass all the way down my hamstring and into my knee. i got up and walked out like nothign happened at all. about 4 hours later it was kind of sore. its been about 6 weeks and it still hurts if i move the leg into certain positions. it was god awful stiff and sore the first couple of weeks, but getting better. daily stretching and being very careful while training helps, but theres certain angles of movement the leg just cant do still.
so it took me about an hour of stretching, massaging my leg, and drinking warm water before i could get hip level freedom of movement back. i probably need to see my acupuncturist and need another 2 weeks of stretching to get back to head level. i tried kicking my leg to my own head level this morning and it was extremely painful. i suppose i deserve it hehehehe.

It's Winter (almost) - this is my new 'cooler months' workout ensemble. The shirt is super thin and it wicks sweat - I can't stand being overly hot while working out. I just want to buffer the wind chill.
so far my experiment is quite successful. in addition to trying to build a hybrid power/agility/flexible and load-bearing-capacity oriented system for myself, ive been doing a lot of dietary experimentation. basically i dont believe in the commonly held supplement and dietary regimen logic surrounding most men's weightlifting habits, and think most of it can be made up for with focused lifting, knowing how to cycle lifting styles, and dieting properly. i believe the over-consuming attitude compounds the effects theyre trying to resolve. i believe i can defy most of these rules and outlift a few people weighing 40lbs heavier. i believe i can have a load bearing capacity of 2-3x my own body weight for certain motions, with certain isolated muscle groups. i believe crunchies can do it better than meatheads.
ive limited my protein intake to around 120g a day, and only eat a couple meals of complex carbs/starches a week. my diet is > 51% raw organic green leafy vegetables, with a few days a week i have exclusive fruit meals based on type of fruits (melon meals are becoming my fav). heck my coworkers call me "bugs bunny" because they only thing they really ever see me eat is kale and spinach and whatnot. i eat organic, humanely raised red meat maybe once every ten days, and i usually eat a whole chicken all at about the same frequency. i try to avoid wheat and stick to quinoa, barley, millet, sorghum, and buckwheat for grains. most of my proteins come from raw nuts and legumes such as chickpeas and lentils, also a lot of raw snowpeas and green beans and the lot . i eat whole bricks of organic non gmo tofu or tempeh to myself as a meal a few times a week. the rare occasions i consume dairy, its almost always in the form of "raw" cheese, though ill consume raw goats milk or raw frozen yogurt once in a great while. my supplements are barely grass and caffeine (yerba mate), to preload, and a serving of rgbh free pastured organic whey isolates for post. i have a whole system of ensuring diversity of my diet, without consuming too much protein or overall calories. the key elements are the raw enzymes, probiotics (many of which are homemade), and plant phytonutrient volume. i could rattle on about the details forever, its just a simple mentality that governs an intricate set of rules.
mainly, i think the cram shit tons of protein, eat tons of meat and excess saturated fat, chug protein drinks all day, eat 20 meals a day, eat > 3K Calories a day, stuff is just derived from a culture obsessed with overconsumption. i have a few days now and then where i eat around 5,000 calories of carbs, but thats cuz i smoke a ton of herb and munchies override pretty much any discipline i have. i mostly hover around 2000-2400 calories a day. i also actively train in martial arts, so i burn up a lot of calories doing sort-of cardio-ish workouts, and dont want my body eating its self too much, so my cannabis induced food binges help with that. i dont do the whole "paleo" thing, i think its a fad diet, but when i eat, i do think pleistocene.
my career, if you cant tell by my username, involves a lot of sitting on my ass (though i bust out some iron horse stances in the bathroom when ive been seated too long). i rarely consume alcohol, at least, in comparison to most of my peers. it might also be useful to mention that i also use sex as a tool to power myself up, and i have gained quite the discipline in maintaining my male vitality this way.
the results are coming along well. its a slow and steady process, but im quite glad to have broken free of nutritional stores and having to eat according to a clock. its cheap, easy, and i just love proving dogmatic beliefs wrong.
once upon a time i could bench 335max with a 175lb body. then i dropped myself down to about 140lbs doing some other studies, and did zero weightlifting for two years. so i basically reset to 0 and started over. i went up 100lbs on my max on my bench since day 1, went up about 120 on squat, and ive increased a shirt size. my form is excellent, my breath smooth and controlled, and my posture does not move a hair. ill prolly be back where i was within 6 months, and this time require a hell of a lot less resources to maintain it. i guess my goal is to break my former max for bench, shrugs, and squats, without loosing too much power behind my feet and fists.
its really just those two things: disciplined diet, disciplined form.

Do you have any other hobbies other than yourself? I truly admire your dedication but to be honest it sound fucking boring. I agree that consumption (or extreme consumption as many adhere to) is obscene but I was wondering if you have any time off a month to enjoy yourself? At what stage to you want to unleash yourself into battle mode and use all your power for the good of mankind? What is your end aim? How long do you want to live, and if it is another 80 years, do you think you will regret not having a twinkie earlier?

Busty:
for some people, even the thought of Twinkies (or their favorite junk food snack) haunts them. For me, I've been overweight my whole life. I'm at a crossroads of deciding whether I can really, actually learn to control how much I eat of my favorite junk foods or if maybe giving them up for good is better for me. We've been a junk-food-in-every-drawer house for as long as I've been here. I do not personally enjoy when I eat them, but for some weird reason, it's very difficult for me to control how much I eat of those food items.
I'm not saying this is rm-rf's problem, but it is most definitely mine and I'm thinking I might be happier overall with myself if I just refuse those items at parties or other social events. I'm having difficulty enjoying them at all.
I'm glad you're able to consume Twinkies and whatever else in a controlled fashion. But, like some drug addicts, I can't imagine ever being able to control it so it's probably best if I just don't ever have it.
