taylorjonasher Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Today's Workout - FFG Week 4/12 - Velocity B - https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/15285677433 Felt good today - everything just felt strong. Definitely fatigued at the end of it all, I'm on my second cup of coffee in 30 minutes and still feel tired. Going to need some good sleep tonight to help recover. Last night I took a couple swings with the 9i, 5i, 4i, 2i, and driver, and it felt quick and strong. I'm excited to jump on the swing caddy this weekend and see what my numbers look like with how yesterday felt.

jbern Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 23 hours ago, taylorjonasher said: Today's Workout: Fitness Evaluation (no data logged) Today I hung out at the University Wellness office for a "fitness evaluation". I was perusing their offerings a few weeks back and saw that they offered one free of charge to me, so I said "why not?" and signed up for it. Turns out I'm in pretty good health with the exception of my shoulder flexibility, which was confirmed to be dogsh*t. Blood pressure was great, heart rates before and after exercise were excellent, spine flexibility was excellent, and I was calipered at 17.3% body fat. Afterward I sat in the steam room for 15 minutes and stretched. Weight: 186.1 Yesterday's Calories In: 1,684 Yesterday's Calories Out: 3,189 That's pretty neat that you were able to do a fitness evaluation! I don't know of many gyms (or any outside of college fitness areas) that offer those, but if nothing else, it would be fun to find out body fat % and get baseline flexibility measurements! cksurfdude, ejgaudette, Owengeorge13 and 1 other 4 Quote WITB (link to detailed post here): Driver: LTDx 9* (ProjectX BlueSmoke Stiff) Fairway metals: 3W TSR2 14.25* (ProjectX BlueSmoke Stiff) | 5W Gen4 0341XF (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 75 S) Hybrid: 4H Gen4 0317XF (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 75HY S) Irons: 659 CB 5-AW (Project X Rifle 6.0) Wedges: 286 54* & 58* (KBS Tour 120 S) Putter: DF3 OFFICIAL MEMBER REVIEW HERE ‘24 Ball: pro drip: red & blue | Tour S Pushcart: 4.0 | '23 MGS Clicgear 4.0 Pushcart Tester | Link here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorjonasher Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I was really looking at the body fat as the main component of it to validate my progress and my goals, the rest of the data and the evaluation was secondary to me. The lady that did the evaluation was hilarious, we had a good commentary going back and forth throughout the whole thing. Turns out my math was within the 2% margin of error that the body fat test claims - my 173 final goal will put me at 10% +/- 2%, unless I end up putting on a bunch of muscle between now and then. I think once I hit my goal I'll head back in for a follow up to see if anything else progressed.

jbern Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I had a workout yesterday and it was ROUGH! I had a little injury on my upper ribs (below clavicle and above the pec muscle). Even a minor rib injury is pretty crippling. I was having a hard time breathing, but there was no pain during the workout (other than breathing), so I pushed through. I'll wait until over the weekend to see if it gets better and if it's not, I'll go to the Chiro or the Dr. to get things checked out. cksurfdude, taylorjonasher, Owengeorge13 and 1 other 4 Quote WITB (link to detailed post here): Driver: LTDx 9* (ProjectX BlueSmoke Stiff) Fairway metals: 3W TSR2 14.25* (ProjectX BlueSmoke Stiff) | 5W Gen4 0341XF (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 75 S) Hybrid: 4H Gen4 0317XF (Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 75HY S) Irons: 659 CB 5-AW (Project X Rifle 6.0) Wedges: 286 54* & 58* (KBS Tour 120 S) Putter: DF3 OFFICIAL MEMBER REVIEW HERE ‘24 Ball: pro drip: red & blue | Tour S Pushcart: 4.0 | '23 MGS Clicgear 4.0 Pushcart Tester | Link here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting some sort of cramp / irritation on my right side just below my pec. Sneezing, coughing, pushing out a fart, laughing - they all are excruciating. It lasts for a couple days and then will go away. I have no idea what induces it or clears it up. Physical activity seems to have no bearing on it coming or going either.

jbern Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The new workout program I started on the Tonal is called Torched. It's very focused workouts, which I haven't had since lifting in college. This mornings workout was an upper body pull day. Lots of back muscles being activated and I am already feeling it! The workout went pretty well, even with the rib issue.

taylorjonasher Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Had a super busy weekend with baseball, mother's day, yardwork, a plumbing "emergency" at my brother in law's coffee shop. I am gassed this morning and felt super tired for the first day of Phase 2 of the FFG program. Phase two incorporates a few new movements and splits the progression into more sets with lower reps and a slight increase in weight.

jbern Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I'm not sure if I already posted about this or not (I did a quick search and there were 0 results, so I don't think so). Last Sunday, I bumped one of my upper ribs quite hard and have had trouble breathing, laughing, coughing and sneezing (which is the worst!!). That being said, I still am able to move fully and only have trouble with workouts when I start to breath heavily. Yesterday's workout was a full body lift day and it would've been very difficult had I not hit the pause button several times. It ended up being fine with just a little discomfort. Tonight's workout is upper body focused (chest, back, triceps). Hopefully there's no issues because every once in a while the pain goes from a 2-3 to a 8 very quickly!

angelman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Torched sounds intense, but it's great that you're feeling the burn in all the right places. Sorry to hear about the rib issue, though. Take it easy and listen to your body.I totally get the struggle with heavy breathing and coughing during workouts. It can be tough, but it's all part of the journey, right?Speaking of journeys, I'm currently on my own weight loss journey and recently stumbled upon the Semaglutide Weight Loss Dosage Chart. It's been a game-changer for me in terms of tracking progress and staying motivated.

I have patella tendonitis also so no squats ideally. Touching on your patellar tendonitis first - there are ways to strengthen the tendons and muscles around the joint that can alleviate your pain and allow the joint to heal. Here (in no particular order) are a few resources to help rehab it yourself. You should check with a medical professional to make sure it's not anything more than tendonitis, if you haven't already, to make sure you aren't doing further irreparable damage. ***Note - I am not a medical professional, but rather a fitness enthusiast. Discuss these items with a medical professional before adopting them, or do so at your own risk*** This episode discusses lateral/medial epicondylitis (elbow), but the same principles of lengthening and loading the tendons would apply to your knee. I have had pretty bad epicondylitis from beating balls off a poorly padded mat and used this protocol to rehab myself back to health. It took about 4-6 weeks of doing this every other day, but I did see significant reduction in pain and improvement in the range of motion within two weeks after putting the theory into practice. This video gives you a couple of movements and protocols (squats being one of them) that can help you work through your tendonitis. You really don't want to completely put your injury on the shelf, but rather work through it to strengthen the tendons and muscles around the joint to allow it to heal. Lengthening the tendons and loading them in an isometric hold (as discussed in the FFG pod and protocol #3) is what both sources cite as the fastest way to rehab the afflicted tendon. I had a pretty bad lower ankle sprain last year that I was able to rehab rather quickly (3-4 weeks) by stretching and doing isometric holds in the lengthened positions - I can't say it will 100% work for you but it's worth considering and talking about to someone with a medical degree. As far as your workout regimen, it's hard to recommend anything to you without knowing what your goals are. Strength, stamina, weight loss, golf specific performance, general overall health and fitness? Throw a few items out that are specific, and I'm sure there's enough collective knowledge around this thread to help you put together a plan and (more importantly) stick to it that will allow you to achieve your goals. Welcome to this thread - it's a nice little corner of the forum! ejgaudette, cksurfdude, Owengeorge13 and 2 others 3 2 Quote Titleist TSR3 // Tensei 1K Black 65g Titleist TSR3 3W 15* // HZRDOUS Black 70g Titleist U505 2i // HZRDOUS Black 85g Taylormade P770 4-PW // Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 105g Callaway JAWS MD5 50* Callaway JAWS Raw 54* / 58* Taylormade Spider GTX Single Bend Splitback / Ping Zing 2 Titleist ProV1 // Srixon Z-Star XV (Depending on how much money I want to lose any given swing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
