      Thursday

      Farmers walk 6 sets
      Inner and Outer Hip machine 3 sets each
      Kettlebell swings superset w/ straight bar pulldown 4 sets
      Seated calve raise 3 sets
      Battle ropes 6 sets

      During the day I decided to do a workout where I wasn't really working anything directly but full body instead. I had 3 things in mind going to the gym that I wanted to do and did all 3. Farmers walks, kettlebell swings, and battle ropes, work the entire body. I didn't think I was going to get the battle ropes because some guy was working out right behind where the ropes are which was seemed like forever. But I was really happy with the workout.

      Went home and decided since I never used ice on my ankle and even though I don't notice any swelling I figured I'd ice it. I filled a bucket of cold water and a bunch of ice and stuck my foot in. Wow that was rough. After a few I switched to hot water and Epsom salt but I felt pretty good when all was said and done.

      Weekend


      I didn't go to the gym or really leave the house until Sunday. Friday I woke up with a sore throat, and I figured it was from having my ceiling fan on when I was sleeping because it was stuffy in my room Thursday night. Usually the sore throat goes away after I'm awake for a bit. Not this time, as the day went on I just felt worse and worse.

      Friday night went home, I was probably sleeping by 8pm and didn't wake up until 8am the next morning, still feeling like death. Didn't leave the house Saturday and was in bed at like 930pm, slept until 8ish Sunday morning. Woke up wanting to play ball, wasn't going to happen. However I did have to leave the house for Christmas parties so I heavily medicated myself and went on my way

      This morning I feel better but still have that jelly feeling in my body. Like I'm weak and tired and a bit off. I took my last dose of medicine and hopefully as the day goes on it gets better.

      Monday

      BB row 4 sets
      Seated Close grip cable row 4 sets
      Lat pulldown 4 sets
      Straight bar pulldown 4 sets
      BB curl 4 sets
      Rope hammer curl 4 sets

      Farmers walk 4 sets

      So for the past 5 or 6 years whenever I'm sick I usually do a back workout that helps me feel better. It's just in my head but it's what I do. Usually once a year I get a cold where I leave work early and instead of going home and going to bed, I go to the gym and workout. I swear row's get rid of colds. So that's what I did yesterday. I did two rows that I don't often do but it felt good doing them because that's what I used to do. The weight I moved was actually pretty good for being rusty at the BB row. I then threw in some farmers walks for good measure, I went long distance with light weight and short distance with heavy weight. It felt good.

      I am still sick though which stinks but I think it's starting to break up which means sinus headache but if I can get through that I should be in the clear.

      Tuesday

      Side lateral raise 4 sets
      Reverse peck deck 4 sets
      Peck deck 4 sets
      Decline hammer strength 4 sets (last set was drop set)
      Facepull superset w/ incline press sort of 3 sets
      Rope extensions 5 sets

      I'm getting tired of this workout haha. I wish I could bench and overhead press but the pain is still there. I don't really feel it during the day anymore or during other movements but doing the incline press was extremely light weight and I could feel the pain. Other than that though it was a good workout. I forgot what my mark was on the decline press from last week so I just threw on a ton of weight and didn't get it the first time. Rested a minute and tried again, got about 2 reps and that's why I did a drop. Hammer strength isn't exactly the thing I should be maxing out on but it felt good to really push some heavy weights around.

      Wednesday

      Basketball

      Had so much fun playing last night. My ankle felt so much better than it has. I think getting sick was kind of a blessing because it forced me to stay off my ankle for a few days which seemed to have help. I was moving around a lot more fluently which allowed me to get rebounds and steals that a few weeks ago I just wouldn't have been able to get to. It did hurt here and there but nothing serious and went away quickly. It's tight this morning but nothing like the same pain from just a few weeks ago.

      Thursday

      Battle ropes 6 sets
      Kettlebell swings 4 sets
      Medicine ball slams 3 sets
      Wall balls 4 sets
      Farmers walks 4 sets (3 sets of a drop set style)
      Seated calve raise 3 sets
      Lat pull down 3 sets

      After last week I really enjoyed doing this style of training, like a conditioning with weight included instead of bodybuilding type workout so I went with it. I also went this way because my ankle was a little achy after basketball, nothing major but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry so I didn't want to deadlift or squat. I had a lot of fun doing this workout. At first I was going really quick between sets but as the workout went on I started to slow down. Might stay with this style for my Thursday workouts moving forward but I'm still up in the air about it.

      I haven't posted in a bit, the holidays kind of got the best of me.

      I did workout, I played basketball multiple times. I even skipped a gym workout to go to the gym I play basketball at to get in a shooting and dribbling workout just for some fun. The workouts I did were kind of a recovery workout because of how I felt.

      Ankle is improving each day and really only gets sore now after a night of basketball. I'm still having issues with sleeping and my quad still gets numb in the middle of the night. I've been really paying attention to stretching and recovery to solve the issue but to this point nothing has solved the issue but I do feel like it's helping.

      I did start supplementing with Forged Joint support but nothing really new or fun in terms of supplements however I have some sustain alpha coming soon along with another joint supplement.

      As i'm feeling better I got injuried again this past sunday at basketball of course. The ball was being knocked around and I got low to get the ball and someone ran into my head/neck and gave me what I'm calling a stinger. My left arm went numb for a like 5 minutes, my thumb and index finger remained numb for an hour or so. Now i'm just sore in my left trap muscle for the last 5 days. I've played ball since then but my left arm almost felt dead, not sure what I can do to fix it other than letting it be and recover on its own.

      Friday

      Arms

      Decided to go to the gym since I feel like I was slacking. Did a quick arms workout which wasn't bad but moved quickly. What I wanted to do for the new year is get back into jumping rope so I started back with that Friday. A bit rusty but my ankle didn't really hurt while doing it however I did feel the ankle wasn't as explosive yet as I'd like.

      Saturday

      A bit of everything

      Since I did arms on Friday I went into Saturday to try and do a bit of everything which was cool. I focused mainly on back I guess since I did a few posture exercises but I threw in some chest and some legs for good measure as well. I also did a decent amount of conditioning work too. I want to get back to doing that on Saturdays too, I have been but I feel I slacked off after the ankle injury and it's time to get back to that.

      Sunday

      Basketball

      I'm moving a lot better, I played a whole game with no ankle pain. I thought I may have felt it a bit but a minute later everything was back to normal. The only problem was my shoulder still from the stinger. I did notice my legs getting tired towards the end but that could be lack of sleep or a sign that I need to be better with my conditioning but all in all it was a really good game.

      Monday

      Squat superset w/ pull ups 4 sets
      T bar row superset w/ standing calve raise 4 sets
      Leg press superset w/ wide grip lat 4 sets

      Jump rope superset w/ straight bar pull down 3 sets
      Jump rope

      Back to a somewhat normal workout. Took me awhile to get to the gym, we got some ice and ppl don't know how to drive. That's why I did some supersets, when I got to the gym I was so ready to go and already felt behind. The first practice set of squats, haha wow, my legs just did not feel like they wanted to work. But everything got better as I went. I was thinking I should of did more squats and pull ups but didn't really want to push it. The workout was enjoyable and I'm happy to be able to do get back to some kind of normal routine.

      Tuesday

      Side lateral raise 4 sets
      Reverse peck deck 4 sets
      Peck Deck 4 sets
      Decline Hammer strength 4 sets
      Cable side raise superset w/ bench press 4 sets
      Facepull superset w/ fly machine 3 sets

      I was wondering how my shoulder would feel. The back of my shoulder still hurts from getting ran into which is to be expected but after this time I was hoping the front of my shoulder would be good to bench and overhead press. So I went in an did what I normally do and to really make sure was warm and blood was in the muscle. By the time I got to the bench I felt ready, I wasn't. It still caused pain, not nearly as much but I do not want to push it so even a little discomfort imo was not worth it. I'm glad it's better but mad that it's not back to normal yet. The workout overall went well, enjoyed being in the gym again which is always a plus.

      Wednesday

      Basketball

      Wasn't sure if we were going to play, got a late text that we may not have enough. We ended up scrapping together enough even though the one guy quit after the first game. He's not bad and knows the game, he coaches for my high school but he's super out of shape. Anyway we ended with 4 on 4 for most of the night but the court is smaller so it was fine, I also ran more than if it was 5 on 5 which was good. Overall it was a really good night.

      Thursday

      Battle ropes 6 sets
      Kettlebell swings 4 sets
      Farmers carry 4 sets (last set a drop set)
      Wall balls 3 sets
      Facepull superset w/ ball slams 3 sets

      Jump rope superset w/ seated high cable row 3 sets
      Jump rope superset w/ roman chair leg raise 3 sets

      As I've been doing I used Thursday as like an all around style workout. It's on the side of conditioning but there is still strength involved, I'm not doing straight cardio but to say the battle ropes don't get the heartrate up would be wrong. By the end of the 6 sets I was already sweating and had a decent upper body pump. I never really posted my goals for 2019 but one of them is move more than I've been which includes days of training like this, jumping rope and just being more active. I think it's just because for the last few months on the ankle I feel like I've been a little less mobile than I should be even though I have been playing basketball and working out.

      The main problem I'm having right now is sleep. I fall asleep at night for like 20 minutes then I'm up for a few hours. This isn't by choice, I'm closing my eyes a good 8 hours before I need to work out but it's just not working. I've never had these issues, I mean everyone has a night or so of restless sleep but this is going on weeks. This weekend I'm going to look to get some stuff to help me sleep better, possibly spin my mattress. About a month ago I took my mattress off and tightened all the bolts on the bed but they already feel loose so I may try and do that again. Needless to say I'm a zombie this morning.

      Saturday

      DB curl superset w/ low cable behind head extension 4 sets
      Ez curl curl superset w/ underhand extension 4 sets
      DB hammer curl superset w/ BW dip 4 sets

      Conditioning work: jump rope, high step toe tap, medicine ball dribble, facepull

      The workout was really solid except for the dips but they were still better than I could of thought. I tried them at the end just to see how my shoulder would feel. It felt pretty good but I couldn't get all the way down because that's when the pain would hit. I had a nice pump going and the conditioning work wasn't too bad either. All in all it was a good workout.

      Sunday

      Basketball

      We ended up with 14 guys show up which is too many, 10 is what we need 12 isn't bad but 14 makes subbing a pain. However I think because we had to sub more often it made the game much faster, towards the end I was winded, my legs were tired, and I had a giant blood blister on my one toe. I'm actually sore this morning from playing which doesn't usually happen much anymore, my chest hurts, my legs and glutes are sore. I guess the run was better than I even thought. My ankle hasn't been an issue and I dropped the brace with the plastic side panels in it to a regular compression sleeve. So I feel like I'm making moves in the right direction there.

      Now if I could just get the sleep thing in order I'd be golden.

      Monday

      Deadlift 5 sets
      Leg press 4 sets
      Standing calve raise superset w/ t bar row 4 sets
      Hanging back extension superset w/ hanging lat stretch 3 sets

      Haven't deadlifted in felt like forever and it went well. I didn't go really heavy but I tested myself, the form felt spot on which I was happy about and the movement was smooth. After that though the weight felt heavy, leg press was really heavy even on weight I'm somewhat used to moving. T bar row also felt pretty heavy. The calve raises though felt amazing, not in terms of bodybuilding and a pump or anything but I think my calves were tight from basketball and as I was doing them it just felt like therapy for my calves haha.

      I've been stretching every night now for awhile but last night I did a lot for my hips and lower back to help get rid of this leg pain. Hopefully it works, I slept a little better last night but it could be more so that I was just exhausted.
