Sorry for the bump, but any other critiques?

I'm no expert, but your straight back looked awesome. I have trouble with that due to a weaker lower back

Throwing up when working out sucks.
Went back to it, but holy shit am I wrecked now.
How does that happen? Were you going for a PR or doing Crossfit shit?

The crazy thing is that, during the actual lift, it feels like my lower back is more hunched than what the video shows. It's always been a big mental hurdle for me during the deadlift.

Any tips for morning jogs?
Do you guys eat a small snack or drink anything before running or just get up and go?
I dont have much time to go to the gym these days but I'd like to make morning jogs a routine, before I head into work.

I stopped drinking water at the gym because of the water retention. Use to drink 1-2 liters every without session, now not a drop. Never feel bloated after the gym since.

I never eat before a morning jog. I won't even eat before a long race, though I will refuel along the way.

Going to start doing hill sprints again for conditioning. My basketball rec league starts this summer. Any ballers here in Fit Gaf? Does strength training translate well on the court?

HIIT. I'm built for endurance, so it always destroys me, and to be honest, I'm not great at knowing how to back off.
I don't think the drink I had helped, seemed quite acidic.

Weighed in at 234 today. 3lbs to go. Also back is fatigued as hell from those simulated car DLs last night. Did singles on sandbag load. Attempted 250lbs to 54. And just don't have enough strength or pop out of the hole to get it yet. At least I'm getting better at lapping it.
Here is video of my failure. Also full log is in the description.

I dry heave and throw up all the time. It's not exclusive to crossfit. It's also not something to be proud of or shoot for.
And it happens by pushing yourself hard, usually harder than you think you can/should.

Ah. I see.
Just did 405x2 squats today for the first time ever. Felt great.
I wanted to see what my max was considering I do 345x8. I picked up 400 just to see what it felt like last work out, and it was surprisingly light. Went for it today and snagged a new PR in the process. Gonna go to the club tonight and act a fool to celebrate.
Can't wait to get cleans back in to my routine too. Explosiveness is a goal alongside strength.

I am so pissed at the moment. Yesterday I was at the gym, did core training and all that and everything was fine. Slept without any pain. Then today I just reached for my phone and apparently did something badly wrong and my back started to get worse really fast. At one point I was seriously crying on the floor unable to get up on my own. There were both sharp pain and pressure pain on my lower back and on my ass cheeks.
I forced myself to go for 1 hour 50 minutes Nordic walk. It actually helped a little and at the moment I can get up and lay down without help, but I am constantly worried about it and trying not to do anything that may tricker it.
I don't know was it the herniated disc like before, but it didn't reflect the pain to my legs at all. If someone has any insight of what happened, I am all ears.

Oh well, that happens. At least you are working with them currently and it shows.
Hahaha, that is great to hear.
Well, at least I do recognize the name. ^_^ Also I think that that might very well be the first pic I have seen of you.

Oh god I've seen it all. My facebook feed has a video of "partner" deadlifts.....let those two words marinate...

They are a thing actually. Usually it's a super heavy DL though. There's one of these at iron sport.

Oh I thought it was some sort of Crossfit fuckery (although the vid I saw was a 225 partner dl)
Top tier indeed. Although lamb heart is hard to beat. Its so fatty and juicy.

I think so too.
Definitely.
Yeah. Thanks you two. Just called to a private clinic and will see a doctor in under two hours. Most likely after seeing him I will also book a time to orthopedic doctor since this one isn't a specialist but hopefully he is still able to order me some proper meds.
Ok. A short update.
The doctor I saw today was actually specializing in sport injuries and knew extremely much about herniated discs and such. He was absolutely amazing and I was there a bit over 45 minutes (he was kind enough to actually bill me for 30 minutes only). He gave me some good painkillers, said what kind of medication I better avoid in the future even if some health professional would offer them, said what kind of meds I might need to move on to at some point and also gave me contact information to one of the best physiatrist in town. I am going to book an appointment to her tomorrow.
He also mentioned that my hip stability was awesome which made me smile even though I don't know is it any good for anything anyways.

Agreed. Liver is my favourite. It is insanely nutritious and insanely cheap. Top five strength training foods for sure.

Silver linings. That's some progress. Hope it's not any sort of pinched nerve.

Good to hear. And if you haven't yet, invest in a lacrosse ball and foam roller and learn how to find and dissipate trigger points.
Deadlifted 135x8, 225x5, 315x5, 405x3. Probably could have gotten 2 more at 405 but my grip failed and I don't have any chalk or a belt. Then I did some deficit deads, 225x3x10, which destroyed me. Ended with 5x5 pull-ups. I was questioning whether that was enough, but I hurt today lol.

Excuse my ignorance, but is a rack pull the same as a deadlift with the only exception being that the bar is slightly raised of the ground at starting position?
Great work man, nice numbers!

Thanks, this sounds good! If anything I'll just eat one banana depending on how hungry I feel in the morning. I do perform much better the less food I have in my body, but drinking water on an empty stomach makes me feel sick.
Yup, I usually do them with the bar just below my knees.

Starting a very short term cut tomorrow. Dropping 750kcal a day for the first week and seeing how I'm trending at that point. Ideally want to lose a couple of kg in a couple of weeks to get myself down to a more reasonable event weight (cycling).
Dropping from 30% bodyfat to 18-20% is a crazy accomplishment lol, still feel fat even though I've lost more than I thought I ever would. Never knew my waist would drop this much too. Still no major pecs being seen or abs, but in due time. For those on the heftier side, how long did it take you to transform so you could lose your chest fat? Or basically moobs lol
I was lucky and never had man boobs when I was obese but don't worry, it'll go away unless it's gyno and if you didn't get it at puberty then it's probably not
They started to come when I got into puberty but I was also gaining more weight as I grew older due to bad eating habits. But its probably not the case for me, I've lost them before when I would practice lacrosse and got down to 170 at 5' 11". So that's not certainly the case, which I'm grateful for, just bad genetics in where I store fat lol ;_;. I can get a gut with man boobs if I let myself go but my arms and legs stay the same, everyone else in my family whose overweight and a guy is like that in their 50's. Hell, its nuts, I can see my pecs when I try flexing (beginner gains) but its covered with fat, which motivates me even more to lose as much fat as I can. Funny thing is, I've been floating around 195 for around 3 months while still taking protein, I hope some of my fat burned and I gained muscle during that time and not vice versa.

A personal best today. Always the best kind of record to break
This was a hell of a course too. One hill after another. Check out this demon:
(I started my running app while waiting in the corral, hence the flat at the beginning when i was stationary)
Ooooh Naperville? Do you happen to go to xsport or ltf?
