Any kind man. My favorite is surf
I got pics in my log
Oh wow that's so cool. Surf fishing looks like so much fun. I live in the center of Canada so no surf for me. I sorta surf fished once but I just brought my freshwater rod with me to the Dominican and fished the beach when no one was around. I caught 2 small fish but it was still fun.

Do you ever have to worry about sharks coming in after your fish when you're surf fishing? That was one thing that had me a bit worried.

happens a lot. i hooked a shark 2 weeks ago which either ate the fish that ate my bait or took the whole thing. i got spooled and lost my line. that is why i take extra rods. a big shark like that you aren't going to be able to bring in unless you got a heavy shark rod and special equipment. i am 100% against shark fishing as the only clowns that do it are doing it for clout and their stupid tiktok videos. sharks are extremely important for the oceans to keep the balance. just like how bears are important where you live.
also sharks are a good sign on the surf. if there are sharks then there are fish. and yes they are there and if you are bringing your fish in too slow the shark will detect the panicked fish and pick it off. happens A LOT when i am boat fishing and bringing up the fish from 100ft deep as the sharks will circle the boat and wait for a free dinner. the ocean is a very nasty place vs. land. everything is eating something else and feeding.

also you always look for surf that are washout spots and rip currents, that is where the food is and hence where schools of fish come in to feed. you want moving water and you want to throw into the troughs to give you the best chance. flat surf that is flat underwater without troughs and places for food and fish to hang out will yield nothing. there are vids on YT that show you how to locate the good spots. its a good idea to move if you aren't getting action down the beach to a different spot. lots of strategies. even using a spudnick weight which will grab the sand so it doesn't move is important.
 
Log Day 50

Coming off my 2 rest days as prescribed. Woke up this morning feeling good. @LevButlerov told to enjoy a cheat meal so I at a ton of sushi for dinner last night.

I'm starting to think a lack of carbs might be leading to my lethargy. I only had 184g of carbs the day before I started to feel wrecked and only had in the low 200s the following days. I'm in week 4, 1 RIR, of my training programs and with the higher intensity I think I need to up my carb intake. Going to try that this week and see how it goes.

Keep getting high stress readings in my sleep which is pretty abnormal for me. The last 3 nights I'm showing up to an hour of sleep stress when it's usually 0. Not sure what's up there.

Went for my bloodwork this morning and I'm excited to see where I'm at. This is my first cycle so it's all uncharted territory for me. I'd like to start titrating up but I'm hesitant until I know exactly what's going on. I will post my results once they show up.

Took a quick pic this morning when I woke up to head for my bloodwork. Starting to look pretty decent in the AM. I'm used to looking like an endurance athlete in the mornings, so this is a big improvement.

Sushi is not a cheat meal come on brother where is the greasy stuff or the candy lol, my coach struggled with me as well because he said have a cheat fay... so i was like ok whole bag of chicken wings... he said that's not a cheat meal, eat 5k calories add in junk food and pizza, in reality i didn't understand at the time, he was trying to fill me back out and recoupe my glycogen stores in the body and boost growth, i struggled so hard eating so shitty for that one day i didnt even want to do it but i did lol.
 
Thanks for making me feel bad for not taking pics of my sushi lol.

Ya I was pretty surprised how much bigger I'm looking in the mornings. My weight is staying up now too.

I think I'll try to stay around 300g of carbs this week and see how it feels. I bloat up if I eat too many carbs, but I have issues if I go to low as well. The low 200s used to be a sweet spot but I think the goal posts have moved on me and I need to adjust.
we try our best to make you feel bad and good same time LOL :P @BeMe

If you bloat too much increase digestive enzymes and probiotics.

Wow that's so cool. I've seen the sharks when people are deep water fishing. They call them the tax man lol. Surf fishing though you're in there with them. I guess you hop outta the water when you're landing the fish right? Wouldn't want to lose a hand to the tax man lol

I love greasy food as much as the next guy but my prob is it just messed with my sleep too much. If I don't sleep well it messes up my entire day so the juice isn't worth the squeeze in my case. Couple times a year tho I will grab some five guys on a weekend when I can afford to be a bit dumber for the day lol

they aren't interested in eating people man. that is a huge myth. just like when you walk around in the woods in canada a bear isn't looking to get you. they want to avoid you as much as possible. the people who get bit by sharks are either surfers who are surfing in the middle of a school of fish in murky water and get bit by mistake. or those idiots that scuba dive and hand feed sharks and they get bit that way.

i've swam in the ocean with 15ft sharks next to me and they could not care less. they have zero desire to eat a human. they are looking for injured fish
 
Week 7 Summary

Tough week this one. Wasn't recovering properly, RHR way up, possibly overtrained. Took 2 days off but HRV is still in the mids, although I do feel better. Preliminary lab work came in today and everything looks pretty good. Nothing alarming with hormones, will post once the report is complete. Trying to eat more carbs to see if that helps. Good news is blood work looks pretty good so it might be time to titrate up a bit and start pushing the gains.

Log Day 52

Still dealing with this sleep stress issue. I went from no sleep stress almost ever to every night this last week. It's leading to a lack of recovery. Not sure if I'm eating too much for dinner or what else it could be that's changed this past week.

Everything else is good. Had a great training session yesterday. Felt strong but numbers dropped from last week towards the end of my session. Seemed to be lacking endurance at the moment.

Think I'll sneak in a quick shoulder workout today to make up for the day I missed last week during my prescribed rest period. Nine sets of shoulders can't be too detrimental to my recovery right.

Thanks @Ulter

I checked out your log and wow you look incredible. Hard to believe your 56 years old. I'm 40, but remember what a guy in his 50s looked like when we were young. Now there's you at 56 and you look like you should be on the cover of a magazine!
yeah back in the old days I used to do a lot of roids so i built up some good muscle memory

You look really good @BeMe! very lean and tight, arms and chest are growing and getting leaner.

The sleep issue, lets talk about your pre sleep regiment, can you list all supps you take before bed?

And protein get that back to 400 :D PROTEIN KING.

I know...my first miss on 400. Dinner didn't have as much protein as expected and I was pretty full. Think the extra carbs messed me up. Back on track today. @LevButlerov

Before bed I take
2 different magnesium supps
Fish oil
D

Shower right before bed, no phone in bed.
Room is totally blacked out
Eight sleep mattress cools the bed to different temps throughout the night
I have climate control specifically for the bedroom so it's and the same temp every night
Binaural beats playing in my ears all night
Breath right strips if I'm at all stuffy
