I had an early appointment to get the hoods/fans cleaned at the restaurant, so it was going to be a “rest” day.

I started a cardiovascular support formula supplement today, Controlled Labs Orange Beat.

The profile is an unique combination of quality ingredients, so it will be interesting to see the impact on my performance in my aerobic capacity/work.

No weights today, just some running. We have been having a series of great weather here.

The days are nice, not excessively hot, and the nights are cooler now, where you sort of feel that fall is slowly approaching.

Running 2 miles (15:04)

I was a bit surprised as I thought I was pacing way better. Probably a function of accumulated fatigue throughout the week catching up with me.

Training:

Squats: 45×5, 65×5, 95×5,5,5,5,5

Bench 45×5, 80×5,5,5,5,5

Row 55×5,5,5,5,5

Lying Triceps Extension 25×8,8

Everything still super light. I think I have found a good balance in managing my injury at work, with this progressive light weight training.

These sessions, while not doing much in terms of improving body composition, seem to be therapeutic, in more ways than one.

My issue with my forearm is improving dramatically these past few days. The combination of nutrition, conditioning (blood flow), and light training, seems to be just enough to counteract any damage I do at work.

Even though I would love to get back into my regular training, I’m going to take a very scenic route, as this ailment could easily return just with a series of circumstances at work.
