Spytech’s Intense Workout Log

Met my goal of completing my routine in 15 minutes or less.

Heavy Bag:

Duration: 14 minutes

I had my six  month follow-up today for my leg. The doctor was pretty amazed at how fast I have recovered (initially he said it would take a year for most swelling to go away). I have no swelling in my calf/ankle/foot these days, and my leg feels great. I explained to him about how I was doing alot of high-rep sets (250-500 reps) to get the blood flow in my leg to improve and he was pretty stunned by how well it worked. Afterwards I had to get a bunch of blood drawn for tests, which I will know the results of  in two weeks. These tests will basically tell me if I have some genetic trait that makes me prone to clotting or not. Results don’t really matter for the most part, as the doc is keeping me on a low dose of blood thinners for an indefinite time frame just to be safe.

Another thing I was excited about was my improvement in my vitals.  On my first follow-up in July I had  a BP of 122/64 and a resting heart rate of 80 at a bodyweight 219. My resting HR has never been below 80 since high-school. Today my BP was 118/70 and resting HR was 68 at an all-time high bodyweight of 232. So I’ve gained 13lbs, and my BP and resting HR are both improved. I guess the high intensity heavy bag work I have been doing has been doing its thing.
