Heat looked solid.

rookie trifecta: Herro, Nunn, Silva = ballin.

after like 3 months of trying to find a backend engineer (golang skills), think we finally find our guy.

awesome interview. excited.

solid qa engineer interview tomorrow too. expecting that to go well.

(we're expanding our sw dev squad)

that sucks so much zion got injured.

i wonder if its the trainers fault. like seriously. like we don't really see NCAA players get hurt much and they seem to be MORE athletic sometimes than NBA players.....

makes me question nba regiment vs ncaa......

i imagine it's just zion. he's massive. hopefully he's not going to be knee-injury prone etc. it does seem like he became more injury prone after his shoe blew up though :/

also nba has 3x more games.

a 10k somewhere.

jakob, national road 10k record.

some solid games to open the szn!

LAC looking this good w/o George......... damn.

too bad zion is injured tho. :<

19 October  2019

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : still abductors. or is it hamstrings from uphill sprints?I don't know
Injuries/aches : none
Dew point : 20'C ( 21'C / 90%RH )

RACE  DAY : 5KM @ 25'20''

Meh! That is actually 1 second slower than last year at the same race, so i am disappointed although it is practically the same time so it ties my 
I got into block 1 after all, wasn't that hard either, just talked the (volunteer) guard into letting me and he was fine with it.
I started the race very fast, i was keeping sub 5' km pace with ease, felt i was buffering too. Around 1.5km i was accelerating a bit, I realized it is too fast but still felt fine, just slowed down a bit to keep some reserves for the finish. Then suddenly, around 2 and 2.5 km i got too tired, too fast, boom! Third km was a disaster ( 1st 4'53'' , 2nd 4'59'' , 3rd 5'27'' ). 4th i was just struggling in an 'oh well, shit happens' state, felt i can't go back to 5' pace, just grinded it in 5'20'' , then for the last i went apeshit and run with all i had ( afraid i was gonna fall some point ) and did 4'45'' , which is actually an in-race lone km 
I will blame the horrible dew point for the failure. It was 90% humidity, it was actually visible in the night lights. That is also verified by my overall results:
I got #235 overall / #13 at  my age group. Last year with the same time i was #296 overall / #20 age group. FWIW last years dew point was an awesome 8' ( same temperature but 45% humidity ).
Still disappointed , my main goal was to break 25' and the least accepted success was to run a 5K PR, even by 1 second. Failed both.
Oh well, it is what it is. Better luck next year.

nice to see you got into block 1. i figured you would. volunteers are usually pretty nice about that stuff.

damn your splits were all over the place. way to battle it out - that last km especially , not easy to do when you're struggling a few km prior.

sounds like you def ran a PR level race given the conditions. maybe do a few more throughout the year.

good work man! way 2 battle it out.

pc!

Nice bw drop. looked through your log a bit to see previous history of weight. 160 -> 140 is pretty intense.

cool thanks!

160+ to 142 without much exercise, over ~6 months or so. mostly diet. way diff than usual.

also noticed this:

- 40" RVJ (LR DLRVJ)
- 35" L-SLRVJ

your original vert goals were identical to mine!

Could you give me an opinion on maintaining lean strength while losing bodyweight and how they relate to athleticism? I am moderately strong right now at 190 (maybe 315 1RM BS) but would like to get around 170 with like a 355 1RM. I think my best BW:strength ratio is around 180:375 The actual strength numbers don't matter that much, just the explosiveness I get from them.

You think it would be better to drop to a more extreme 170 or a modest 185 and keep more strength if my end goal is overall athleticism (explosiveness, top speed, dlrvj, slrvj, hard change of direction and agility)? obviously I would be doing a lot more field work than strength work as well

i prefer the slow cut. with that, i'd just step up frequency a bit on the strength work. that formula always worked great for me. don't have to try to crush it in the weight room if the frequency is higher, and more frequent sessions help keep the LBM on while going into a caloric deficit etc.

190 to 170 is a big drop, so i wouldn't force it. 170 may be unrealistic right now - no idea. as long as you're taking it slow, you'll maintain or increase power/strength imho, either way being a relative power/strength increase.

i did something similar when dunking, 160 to 145 etc. just kept the frequency high (short lifting sessions) + moderate jump/sprint sessions, and cleaned up diet. always worked great for me.
