How amazingly stupid.
The sprints from yesterday really left my legs feeling slightly busted. That's great! And I have an ever raging hunger that persists from the moment I wake till the moment I sleep. That means I need to feed my body more.
Dinner was one whole pot of chicken soup, swimming in broccoli, dark leafy greens, carrots and salmon. I suppose why Mum gave me the pot is because she's increased the servings till it can no longer fit in a bowl. Add that to one whey shake (right after the WOD), and one whole orange. 2 hours later, a handful of almonds. I want to keep this up - this workout, this hard, gassed out, painful workouts, the ensuing DOMS that hurt to the touch, the chugging of my whey shake (which I believe will finish real soon), the deep persisting hunger that I face non-stop which I really hope is my body's call for more nourishment. All these - so I can grow big and bad-ass. So bad-ass so the Girlfriend will love it.
Toned down the WOD today a little. Its more of a rest day for me actually.
WOD
- 20 weighted push ups (10kg)
- 10 pull ups
- 8 clean & presses (40kg)
- 20 weighted push ups (10kg)
- 10 pull ups
- 8 squat clean & presses (40kg)
My Body. My Temple. My Girlfriend - My Inspiration.
Spent some time with Photoshop and a recent post-WOD photo of me, with my Girlfriend being the motivation behind all that training, that clean (I'd count myself 60% Paleo), and all that sucking it up and going further each workout as much as I don't wish to move any more.
I miss my Girlfriend - my best friend.
I see lots of bald, young men no older than 30 at work. Most say its the helmet. I'd like to think otherwise.
Posted it in the HWZ forums - eager to see the response.
I work in a place where everyone wears a helmet. And of course in this workplace I see many young fine men, no older than 30, have bald patches at the top of their head.
And I've always heard everyone say its due to the wearing of helmet - some wear over 4 hours a day, some wear over 8 hours a day.
I've done very minor research on the web and it seems like helmet wearing is not the cause of it. But too many young men with no hair seems to claim otherwise.
My own 'theory' would be that these is due to a bad state of health - which would be a combination of diet, general fitness, hair & scalp cleanliness etc.
In other words, to mean, good proper diet without lacking any macro / micro nutrients, works out regularly, preferably load bearing to stimulate release of PHG, and a possibly healthier than usual endocrine system.
And also to maintain a clean scalp.
I'd think these are the factors that cause hair loss.
Because if you think of it in the reverse - bad diet (rice, rice, fried rice, noodles, fried junk), no exercise (most working adults don't exercise) - puts your body in a bad state.
So won't that mean that when things go bad (i.e. scalp and hair is put through long hours of helmet wearing, sweaty, germs, etc) it'd fall off easily?
This is just what I feel. Because post after post all I see is that everyone concludes that there must be some remedy, but no one really asked what do they eat, how fit are they, and what state of health are they in.
Please comment. Because I also don't wish to be a victim of pre-mature balding.
