Training done for the day.
Cardio
- 9037 steps. 50mins of that was a walk down the coast carrying 6.2kgs. Is really hard to consistently hit anything close to 10,000 steps, especially on days like today where it rained for about half the day. Eventually I need to buy a walking pad, but that isn’t likely until late January early February at the earliest. It will help a lot though when I’m able to get one. It is also just really really hard for me to walk that far these days which is concerning.
Resistance training
-Full body overcoming isometric routine. I nearly made it all the way through but didn’t get the isometric squats done, was the only exercise I missed. At some point I’ll likely buy a 10kg barbell to use for this routine. I switched to using handles today instead of the Olympic or trap bar and that helped a lot to get me through the amount I did, otherwise probably wouldn’t even have got the deadlifts done.
This thing in the grass is a stumpy tailed lizard but the photo isn’t very clear, is too far in the grass.
I’ll drop back in a little while to log calories for the day as well.

goos work here broI’m not sure what is wrong with me today, but I’m having a really bad level of fatigue.
Have been trying to get to training all day, but it just isn’t going to happen. Yesterday was a pretty big day for me, and I got to bed at midnight so probably a factor. Also since adding a bit of fibre I’ve had to go to the bathroom a lot more, which is a really serious problem at the moment as every time that happens, I lose even more blood, this is also probably a factor, just losing blood all the time. I’ll need to consider dropping even the small amount of fibre I added to the diet.
Today is going to be a total rest day, I know from trying this for a while, that I can’t simply push through it, every attempt I’ve made to do that has made things worse.
My training program is also about to change, going forward it will look more like this.
Monday
- Barbell overhead press 5 sets
- Bench Press 5 sets
- Pull-ups 5 sets
- Trap bar deadlift 5 sets
- Safety Bar squat 5 sets
Tuesday
- Knee exercises
- Isometric core program
- Accessory lifts, delts, chest, back.
(All 5 sets)
Wednesday
- Full body isometric session (overcoming isometric versions of Mondays lifts) 5 sets per exercise.
Thursday
- Overhead press 5 sets
- Bench Press 5 sets
- Pull-ups 5 sets
- Barbell pullover 5 sets
- Bent over barbell rows 5 sets
Friday
- Full body isometric session (overcoming isometric versions of Mondays lifts) 5 sets per exercise.
Saturday
-Knee exercises
- Isometric core program
- Accessory lifts, delts, chest, back.
(All 5 sets)
Sunday
-Rest
Cardio
-I’ll aim for 10,000 steps a day, need to get a pedometer as I can’t carry my phone all the time. Will also try and go to a pump track occasionally. When I finish cutting down I’ll add a run once a week.
As for the fatigue, probably more than one factor causing it. But I probably have some amount of metabolic adaptation I’m getting over, which may take a month or so. Likely I’ll be feeling this fatigue for a while and will just have to manage as best I can with it.
Later today I’ll drop back in with my diet log for the day. Hope all you lads are crushing your training goals
Great getting outside
Today wasn’t too bad. Got on the scales this morning and I’m down to 88kgs. That’s about 2kgs lost since the 25th of November. I’d rather lose it slow than fast in my case.
Cardio,
-8000 steps. 50 mins of this was a walk down the coast again, carrying 6kgs.
I ended up not managing my day properly and as a result didn’t end up getting the weights session in. Got carried away looking into diet stuff, am planning on buying some Amylase to see if it can help me eat things like white rice, it would help me a lot to be able to eat some complex carbs regularly. Also would make it easier to meal prep at least a portion of my diet. One of the things that sucks about my diet is that it can’t just be made in bulk meal prep style, I make it every single day. I’ll fix that too eventually.
Total Macros
Calories = 2779
Protein = 235g
Fats = 118g
Carbohydrate’s = 201g
Fibre = 9g
(Calories a bit higher today due to an omelette and a gluten free donut that aren’t normally part of the plan)

Damm bro I just saw this log. Will be following good luck!Hi, my name is Ori, and this is my log journaling my progress battling a range of medical issues that ground my life to a halt.
Is a long story, but short version is I am dealing with the following,
-Old knee injury, right knee. Chipped my knee cap when I was a teenager, chip is inside my patella tendon. Never got the surgery I was meant to get when I stopped growing.
-Left hip injury. I can’t remember what the diagnosis from the sports physio was anymore, I just remember how I injured it.
-Bowel is thickened with scar tissue after nearly dying from Clostridium Dificile, twice. I have been referred to a surgeon to have my bowel shortened.
-Transverse colon is wrecked from a drug called Meloxicam, it had me bleeding out both ends, looked like a horror movie. I have a pseudo obstruction now and rely on a low fibre/mostly liquid diet.
-Blood loss from my bowel, like a lot of blood, I need periodic iron infusions because of it. I have also been referred to a surgeon for this, I don’t know yet if is a fissure or some exploded blood vessels will find out from the surgeon I guess.
-Herniated disc in my lower back, can’t remember which disc.
-PTSD from stuff that occurred while all this was happening
-a massive legal battle over much of the above
Earlier this year I hit a really low point. I lost a lot of basic mobility, from being too sedentary for too long. I couldn’t even drive my car properly because couldn’t push the clutch in. Couldn’t stand up straight and walk normally when I would get out of the car after driving somewhere even 20 mins away. That’s where this log really started.
I made a plan that I’m still currently following. That was to work on my core until I could work on my knee, then once those had been strengthened enough I’d start lifting weights. This has basically worked, I’ve gone from not being able to walk down stairs properly to doing pistol squats again. Took some PEDs to help me get out of the hole I was in, all peptides.
If you’d like more detail on the log up till this point, I suggest having a look at my log over at Evolutionary.org, you can see a lot of what’s gotten me to this point there. This log here will focus on the journey forward. Would be too hard to start it with all the data that’s been gathered up til now. Both logs will be updated daily, just the Evo one has a little more past data.
Approved Log - Ori health war log - recovery WAR!
Introduction to log. Have been here a couple weeks now, and having a great time with the forum community. Recently was encouraged by Npcclassicphysique Champ to post a log of my journey trying to recover from a variety of injuries and health issues. This is going to be on the larger side for...www.evolutionary.org
Stats :
-Age = 39
-Height = 167.5cm
-Weight = 89kgs
-BF% = around 20-25% I think
My current program is,
Mon & Thursday = Full body overcoming isometric session in the morning, consisting of :
-Isometric Overhead Press
-Isometric Bench Press
-Isometric Bicep Curl
-Isometric Trap Bar Deadlift
-Isometric Barbell Squat
Each exercise has three positions, five sets per exercise, 12 seconds max effort contraction with 30 seconds maximum rest between sets.
Then on the afternoon of those days I lift weights, that session mirrors the isometric one and consists of :
-Overhead Press (Olympic Barbell)
-Bench Press (Done as pin press)
-Pull-ups (Assistance band)
-Trap Bar Deadlift
-Safety Bar Squat
70% of 1RM, 8-15 reps, five sets per exercise, 4mins rest between sets.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday = These days I work on my knee, core and accessory lifts like delt raises for side delts. I also tend to do fasted cardio these days.
Sunday = Rest, although fasted cardio generally happens that day a bit.
Currently I’m on a small caloric deficit to slowly drop some fat %. Attached are some photos of todays exercise log and diet log. I’m looking forward to getting to know the members here and updating this log daily
Also before I forget, I’m currently between PED cycles, and am only on a low dose of Stenabolic right now (10 mg per day, split into two doses) in terms of PEDs. However I’ll soon start to run a cycle of Ibutamoren + Cardarine + Stenabolic, will likely go for 8-12 weeks.

That is definitely a huge problem in the states I agree
