August 2020 Muscle Training Diary

Diary of 8/7

• I’ve been skipping exercise for about two months. - Prisoner Training 202005
  • I’m not sure if the rainy season has reduced my motivation after about three “I went outside and it started raining, so I had to stop” sessions.
• 8/6 incline push-up 120 times
• 8/7 jackknife squat 120 times - flat knee raise 120 times
• Why it was reopened
  • The lighter ones, about 5 times, I’ve been doing when I thought of them for the past week or so, too light to keep track of.
  • My wife was playing a game called AFK Arena, so I added it myself. This is a game where you start a battle and it becomes an auto-battle and you don’t have to control anything in particular.
  • I did some push ups while I was waiting and they were about 5-10.
  • I repeated the cycle of pushing up 5 times, then pressing the “next battle” button, and easily reached 120 times.
    • It’s like you’re bored because your brain isn’t stimulated enough.
  • Yesterday I went out with my wife for the first time in a while, so that may have been a trigger. Records of periods of slacking off.
• 
  • Looking at the weight alone, the graph can be interpreted as “nothing has been done, but it is dropping steadily”.
  • But when I look at body fat, it’s stopped dropping.
  • Muscle mass is also usually the flip side of body fat.
  • Body fat percentage is increasing at a time when the interval between weigh-ins is growing.
• momentum

  • 

    • I didn’t even do the moves, let alone the exercises.

About AFK Arena Driven Muscle Training

• This game is designed to “accumulate resources while left unattended, which can be used to strengthen the character.
  • In other words, when you wake up in the morning, your character can be stronger and you can go where you couldn’t go before.
• → triggers exercise in the morning.
  • Wake up in the morning, strengthen your character, progress through the map while training your muscles, drink protein, and so on.
• Well, it’s only the first day, so I may not be able to talk about it enough to train my muscles like that anytime soon.
• Also, jackknife squat and incline push-up can be done while looking at the phone, but the others not so much.

Remove Prisoner Training from the title.

• Sometimes my wife does different kinds of things that she finds on YouTube or whatever.
  • Novel stimuli are important because you get bored when you get used to them.
  • That’s the kind of thing you should keep track of.
  • It’s a new trigger acquisition.
    • Like doing heel lift exercises to get the calf pump going when the low pressure is uncomfortable.

8/8 - short bridge 120 times

• myalgia
  • It is more appropriate to “feel the presence of the muscle” rather than pain
• I’m exercising by avoiding areas I’ve used before.
  • But even when I’m doing short bridges, there’s still a presence on the inside of my squatting muscle sore thighs.
    • adductor muscle Is it?
• Prisoner Training’s original beginner program only does muscle training twice a week.
  • They’re taking longer to recover.
  • In contrast, I’ve been doing muscle training every day for the past few days, so I’m on a fast pace.
  • I think we’ll eventually have to intersperse stretching, etc. instead of muscle training.
    • I just tried to do the flat knee raises I did last night to test it out, and I felt like I was going to hurt my back.
    • I can do the incline push ups I did the day before yesterday, but I don’t think I can do the number of repetitions because I don’t feel like I’ve recovered.
    • So, we’ll be in a “no recovering muscles” situation rather soon.
  • Prisoner Training opposes passive stretching, but does not deny its effectiveness in stimulating blood circulation and removing waste products after training (Prisoner Training Super ministry grip & joints p.185)
    • Super Joints mentioned. - Center of gravity feedback during squatting
• stretch - Hip joint to forward bend - Illustrated - “No Fatigue” and “No Fatigue” when you build muscle in the lower body.
  • Stiff thighs and calves.
  • And the way I quickly imagine it as a thigh and calf stretch is not working effectively due to my stiff hip joints.
    • You need to bend at the waist, but your back bends.
    • To begin with, not long ago I couldn’t sit up long enough to extend my knees.
      • Prisoner training twist hold allows me to do this.

8/9

• Recovery Check
  • incline push-up
    • It’s still present, but I think it’s okay, maybe 80% of the time.
  • jackknife squat
    • Surprisingly recovering, about 70%.
  • flat knee raise
    • Oh, not at all. I don’t think I can get one up.
    • The problem is not the abdominal muscles, but the lumbar back
    • Why?
      • My wife says, “katana and wakizashi is why.”
      • The load is escaping to the lower back instead of the abdominal muscles.
      • They say if the hips float, it puts a strain on the lower back.
      • lift one’s head
        • look at one’s navel
        • To make it harder to slouch
      • surrender
        • https://myrevo.jp/fitness/589
        • I’m not sure about this one, but it sure seems to put more stress on the belly than the lower back.
        • Now my back is already hurting, so I’ll re-examine it when it’s healed.
  • short bridge
    • It can be done, but the burden is on the front of the thigh, about 30%.
• What else would we do…
  • Shoulder stand squat
    • Maybe you can do it without straining your legs?
  • vertical pull
    • I haven’t done it because I don’t have anywhere indoors where I can do it well.
  • Wall headstand
    • Seems dangerous to do it with an insecure torso.
  • calf raise
    • My legs and back are tired, so I guess I’m screwed.
  • Passive stretching around the legs and hips or

8/10

• 120 Incline Push-Ups
  • I started thinking I was fine because I recovered, but I guess I didn’t recover because it got hard after about 80 sessions.
  • Be careful, because when it gets hard, you will want to move with vigor.

8/12 - jackknife squat 120 - Maybe we can take the next step?

• Supported squat 10
  • Skidding.
  • It’s funny how the jackknife squat supports you mainly by pulling you sideways.
  • And because they’re compensating for that, they’re not getting the full range of motion in the hip joints.
  • Therefore, he is not able to support the force of falling backward with his legs when he squats in a supported squat
  • When I say keep your back level with the ground, I mean fold your hip joints first.

8/14

• 120 Incline Push-Ups
• I think my back hurts from flat knee raises because I don’t have the basics, so I’m going back to knee tucks.
  • I avoided Neatac because it was difficult to maintain the starting position and my back would hurt quickly.
  • I decided that flat knee raises hid the instability in the lower back area by lying on the floor, but it wasn’t gone, so when I did a lot of them, I would have serious back pain.
  • Do as many as possible just to maintain the starting position of the Neatac.

8/17

• Horizontal pull 120
  • Bought Strengthen your core, waiting for it to arrive as it is a paper book.
• https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=kVyQQEiA988

8/22

• Jackknife squat 20
  • 19 days fatigue is gone and it is more observable.
  • Pelvis must be pushed forward in bottom position to move center of gravity forward
  • You’ll be pushing your pelvis between your legs, which are shoulder-width apart.
  • That is, movement in the direction of hip widening
  • This is stiff and not done.

8/23

• Incline push-up+ 120
  • Lower platform than before (kitchen → washbasin)
  • I could only do 10 at a time after I was over 80.

• it seemed as if …

8/26

• Supported squat 120
  • I couldn’t do it at all on the 12th because I was skidding, but now I can do it.
  • Have you increased your hip range of motion by practicing enough body forward in jackknife squats?
  • The Supported Squat itself has a platform in front of it, so the state can’t fall forward.
  • Discomfort in left hip, left lower back, and right knee.
    • wall squat

8/27

• Incline push-up 40×3
  • Recently, I was doing 120 or so in small bursts, but it was hard to do 40 in a row at a high pace without taking a break in the middle of the day.
  • It’s like after 30 times, you lose the short-term energy source in your muscles and you have a hard time exerting yourself.
  • 120 is strictly written 1 x 120 or

8/31

• Supported squat 10 x 12

  • Joint discomfort is gone.
  • A bit of a knee-jerk reaction
