Waste of time for me. I have no functional use for greater cardiovascular endurance and I find training for it boring and tedious.

Even if I were looking to lose weight or achieve a caloric deficit, there are other types of training that are far more time efficient than conventional or soley aerobic exercise.

I play football(soccer) so I'm always running lol

Usually jog 2 laps for warmup for on the field work, or jog 10 minutes on the treadmill before weightlifting

Most of my cardio consists of HIIT

Shuttle drills with cones, sprints with a parachute or resistance bands, set of stairs....etc

This chick got on my damn nerves man... I'm doing deadlifts and go to get some water, see an old friend and chop it up with him for a couple mins, not too long. I've only done warm ups and was about to start 5 working sets, and then maybe some lighter sets afterwards.
This girl was about to take my plates off and I politely told her I'm just starting. She tells me I was gone for a really long time and then proceeds to wait for me and stretch like 2 feet from my ***. This girl stayed and waited for me there the entire time. Was annoying AF.

There was a power rack open next to us too, I wanted to tell her go there but didn't feel like talking to her. Then she doing some stupid burpee ***** and bar only deadlifts, smh

Sports are all good, one of the main reasons I can't **** with conventional cardio I'd much rather be playing ball.

I assumed by cardio we were talking in the conventional, solely aerobic sense, low to moderate intensity exercise like walking, jogging, running and cycling over medium to long distances. 

Your max oxygen intake and max heart rate are going to surpass that threshold in a decent full-court 5v5 pick up game.  

Something like basketball or soccer could be specifically labeled aerobic interval training, greater intensity and workload than solely aerobic training.

How long have you been dealing with the issue?

Been since may at the least. Part of it is on me as well not resting like I should. I love ball to much but the recovery aspect is annoying and slow

So I'm no doctor but you should start thinking of it in terms of "tendonosis" and not tendonitis. Rest helps, yes but you're gonna need to do something more if you wanna heal up properly.

NSAIDs or cherry juice can help with inflammation, but that's not gonna help you get better long term. Start thinking about stretches, soft tissue work, or PT.

I don't know how serious of an issue it is for you but if you've rested properly and the problem keeps coming back, you gotta do more than supps can help with. Gotta break the tissue down, so da collagen fibers can realign properly B.
 
Hit chest today before hitting this road trip. Im actually looking forward to taking it easy for 2 weeks. My knee and shoulders will be happy [emoji]128514[/emoji]

Boring.

I usually jog at work.

Gotta move a drum? Jog it on over there.

Gotta drag a hose 100 feet. Run with it.

I can't sit on a treadmill watching cspan with moneybag yo playing through my headphones.

This tart cherry juice or just the pill form works wonders

Older I get long distance running is for the birds...only time I train for it is for the military. Other than that sprints for me.

Not at all man its been a few years. I'm coaching full time now so I can only get in a pick up game once a week on Friday nights most of the year.

In the offseason like right now maybe I try to attend an organized training session or two if someone I know is involved but it's hard man, at 27 my knees are a lot older than my chronological age and at the higher amateur levels I don't have the cardio fitness to keep up with dudes like you who are still really putting in work in on a day-to-day basis. Never thought it would be like that but yea, I can't just jump into it in that setting. I mean I can but pride and a very real risk of injury are at stake. :lol:

I actually do miss a little HIIT and interval work but I prioritize my two days a week in the gym doing strength training. I thought you were talking a little light cardio just for the sake of getting the heart rate up or burning calories. I've never been able to get down. :lol:

Had an early lunch with a client today and I felt like my whole afternoon's been off so I just took a break to get a quick chest pump in real quick. Gonna enjoy a beach day tomorrow and then my first Spartan Race on Sunday. Pretty excited for that.
 
Cardio sucks in general. I say that cause ima true fat ***.


Welcomed myself to the 4 plate club today for DL :pimp:

Pulled 405 easily. Then attempted 425 for the hell of it, came up but halfway had to jerk some, still counts though :lol: :pimp:
 
Hate leg day (usually) but enjoyed it today

I want to start doing more unilateral **** so i found this article
https://www.t-nation.com/training/10-best-unilateral-exercises

Started with some front squats and back squats, then did #1,2, and 3 from the link.

Bulg split squats are something ive done off and on for a min and are always super hard for me


Closed with stair climber
Feels good bros [emoji]128293[/emoji]
