Digg Dialogg #4.  As I mentioned in a previous post, I had the opportunity to meet Trent Reznor, frontman of Nine Inch Nails, last week to shoot and edit this Digg Dialogg.  The man is packing a brain.  Enjoy.

Trent Reznor and the Digg Dialogg Crew, originally uploaded by maubrowncow.

We took a short trip to Los Angeles this weekend to interview Trent Reznor, front man of Nine Inch Nails. This man defined my snotty, angst filled teenage years. The only difference now is that I’m no longer a teenager.

Speaking of which, I realize I never mentioned specific goals of this 90 day project. After all, you can’t create a map if you don’t have a destination. There are a few fitness goals that I take issue with, and I am qualified to rant on the subject because I’ve tried the following in the past:

I want to lose x amount of pounds
I want a six pack
I want to gain 2 inches on my biceps

Each one of these goals place the cart before the horse. They all focus on a minute portion of the benefits of exercise and negatively distort one’s perception of body. This isn’t to say one shouldn’t track physical progress. Metrics are one of the greatest motivators when it comes to breaking personal records, and hacking the mind to bring effort levels up a notch every session. But activeness dictates metrics, not vice versa. When I focused on gaining those 2 inches on my biceps in college, I created an unstable house of cards and a silly looking, useless, out of balance body. Or as others have humorously put it, “Display model only”.  It wasn’t until I put my personal health and fitness first, that I reached any “vanity” goals. But I tell you what, I’m much prouder of my 1000 meter row time than the 4 lbs I’ve lost getting there.

My goal is very simple. A balanced and active lifestyle. Something meaningful beyond the 90 days of this project. These 90 days are an opportunity to reprogram my mind into a lifetime habit via complete immersion. I’m don’t wanna be a runner, or a biker, or a swimmer, or olympic weight lifter, kettlebeller, mixed martial artist, yoga practitioner, or climber. I want to be them all.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Today’s workout
3k run (≈1.9 miles)
7 mile bike ride
2400m row (≈1.5 miles)
and
100 situps just for good measure.

Well, let’s bring it down a notch.  What do athletes do when they get sick? Well, according to Dr. Rick Kellerman of the American Academy of Family Physicians:

Skip the workout if you have a fever. It puts too much stress on the heart, which already is beating faster because of the higher body temperature. If you’re suffering from chest congestion, coughing and shortness of breath, he said, you also shouldn’t work out. And exercising with a stomach ache will probably make you feel worse, he added.

But if you have the sniffles and milder symptoms of a cold, moderate exercise is probably OK, Kellerman said.

This concept was put in simpler terms for me not too long ago: “Suck it up you cry baby.”  It was put in kinder words too: “If the source of your sick resonates from your head, workout.  If the source is in your chest, take a break”. More importantly, above all, don’t be a douche bag.  Don’t go to a gym if you’re contagious.

As for the thrown out back, aside from not being able to put on my own socks this morning, I’m mobile and slightly less whiney this evening. The recommended two days rest will be respected, followed by “maintenance mode” exercise.  However, my upper body is just fine and dandy. Which is why we’ll be visiting the pull up workout tomorrow evening.

Ten rounds for time of:
3 Weighted Pull-ups, 45 pounds
5 Strict Pull-ups
7 Kipping Pull-ups (Check out Adrian of SF Crossfit teach the kipping pull up.  The back is relatively active during kipping so I’ll play this by ear.)

BTW, anticipation of a planned workout creates visualization which also creates efficiency and general badassness.
