Training Log 11.13.22

Training:
This week was fine from a training perspective. Squat 465×3, 435×4, 410×11. Bench 305×5, 295×4, 275×11. Deads 535×2,1,1. OHP 185×3, 175×4, 165×15. The weight was moving fine. Deads I didn’t hit last week given I trained BJJ then had other obligations on Sunday. I feel like I need at least the weekly movement to maintain the intensity. Accessory main movements were cleans, DB OHP, front squats and DB bench.

Running:
Was neglecting after my back was out of wack after last weeks runs. I still mentally struggle making this a priority. Only got in 3 runs this past week of a couple miles.

BJJ:
3 sessions. Taught on Friday and one of my key training partners got has black belt yesterday. It was a nice reunion of seeing a bunch of guys I’ve trained with over the years. It’s amazing how many black belts there are now. This upcoming week will probably only be two sessions with my wife’s work schedule.

Sleep:
Got more this past week because I was getting in bed earlier. Was asleep 6:32 and time in bed was 7:01. I feel like this is net down from the past when I was getting in bed for 7:30.

Stress:
Up. Just feeling lost right now. I know I need to make a change with my work situation and it’s navigating this with a commitment I have next summer.

Learning:
Took my Obesity Medicine boards. I think it was nice to have this on the books so I had something to study for over the past couple months. I think this is contributing to my affect. It’s like what’s next. This is my fourth board certification if it goes through and I feel like the education doesn’t mean anything without action. I’ve maintained three practices and it’s been too much. I need to cut down and simplify this. I’ve been reading and listening to the podcasts, but it all feels misaligned. I feel like most of the reading and learning is of low practical value and there’s a lot of waste in what I’m taking away to implement clinically. It feels like mining for information and you put in a lot of work to walk away with very little. I haven’t figured out a system to translate the information I’m taking in to clinical practice.
