Today is a day I’ve been counting down to in sma

Today is a day I’ve been counting down to in small time increments over the course of last year! I am proud to be officially 1 year free of all substances. Many people are aware I quit drinking September of 2018. However, during that time to sometime in February 2020 I continued using Marijuana. I quit because using substances no longer fit my lifestyle, goals and being a positive role model of health. I would like to preface by saying I was never addicted to anything but enjoyed the recreation of various substances through partying which generally encompassed various consumption methods of drinking, smoking, popping, and snorting substances. Though I had fun and believe I needed those experiences to find what I was looking for one thing sticks out. That being the wasted time I spent intoxicated from ages 17-25 which I’m happy is in the past. Below is what I’ve learned and come to realize over the course of this year.
.

The main thing I learned is substances of any type prevent clarity and provide escape. I learned to love the feeling of a clear mind at all times of day which is so often taken for granted. I don’t believe any substances besides the ones considered “hard drugs” are really bad. Taken in too high a dose, too frequently and at the wrong time can certainly cause problems which also goes for everything else in life. For my weed people, I believe medical marijuana helps people but used recreationally probably doesn’t help common issues associated with it. Personally my sleep, anxiety and depression may have had temporary relief but really it just was an escape from the real problems I wasn’t addressing. Once I gained the clarity of what I was escaping from I realized how I don’t need them because I literally feel “high off life.”
.
.
To close and summarize, I do not believe substances are bad but can be used in the wrong way like most things in life. I made this post to contrast what you often see and hear for critical thinking. Ask yourself why you’re using and what the value of it in your life holds versus not being in your life. If you need help with anything but specifically substances ask for help!

Saturday’s are always big rest days for me. For recovery I try to massage gun, yoga and focus on nutrition a little extra. It gets me excited and fresh for a big cardio day. Depending on how I feel it’s a bike and run or just long run! Looking forward to increasing the milage and diving deeper into this @grandmasmarathon prep! This picture is from 2019 just before I finished the marathon in 3:57:46.

The TRX Atomic Pushup, I’ve been humbled by this exercise while coming back to full strength. I’m still on a mission to doing 1 set of 100 straight (ultimate goal I was working on). Pre hernia surgery I could crank sets of 25 like nothing. Currently, I’m working through some limitations. This is one way that I’ve been able to work hip flexing movements back in as well as overload a press. Today, I’m using dumbbells to save my wrists. Playing back the video my right wrist is extended a bit which is one important reason to film yourself on hard movements. Also, to show that I too struggle! Get out and get active this weekend 💪

The hip thrust is a must if you want that 🍑😏

Since the hernia repair I’ve had to be creative and careful with a flexed hip position. Loading exercises heavy is also another obstacle to progressing strength without going heavy on weight. Behold the B Stance Hip Thrust thanks @bretcontreras1 . B stance provides very little load on the toe up side and a lot of load on the working side. Shoot for 70-80% on the working leg and 20-30% on the other leg thinking of it more as a kickstand for stability. For single leg exercises I usually shoot for moderately heavy to heavy load and 3 sets of 6-10 reps.
