i had a really odd dream last night.. i was driving some girl home and i went into this place, where i had to handle snakes.. i had to hold venomous snakes by the side of their face, squeezing hard, so they couldn't bite, then pass them off to someone else.. it went on like this for a while.. everything was rattle-snake looking.. someone got bit.. girl disappeared halfway throguh the dream.

Fuck, Sonnen looks sooooo much smaller than Silva at the weigh in even though Silva was 184 and he was 185.  Thiago Alves missed weight by 1/2 a pound like an idiot.  Anyway, Im logged in and ready to edit.

let's see that edit :D

amazing fight man.. holy shit.. i tell you what, i was impressed with anderson.. he weathered that beat down and came out fresh every round, how, i have no idea.. he was dangerous as hell for those 15-30 seconds he was on his feet.. then on the ground he had good elbows and good sub-attacks until he finally got one.

insane fight..

no recovering from a loss like that.. sonnen is a beaten dog, he's done in his hunt to dethrown anderson.. i figure he'd get killed in the 2nd fight, anderson must have a fuckload of confidence now after a fight like that..

INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE.

Went to practice today. Threw around some, ran a couple drills. Didn't cleat up. At the end did a little light sprinting + pushups and situps workout with a few of my teammates. Ankle felt okay.

nice!

Phase II Day 17 (Thursday):

A LOT of walking done for work. I had the pleasure putting no hunting and U.S. boundary signs along the Golden Spike fences. (/sarcasm)

Phase II Day 18 (Friday):

Did my workout in the afternoon today. Thursday I didn't get to eat as much as I would have like so my energy was completely gone in the morning. It's a good thing I decided to wait, the workout was awesome.

Trap-Bar Dead-Lift: 5x5 @ 215 lbs.
Dips: 5x5 @ bw + 55 lbs.
Cable Rows: 2x8 @ 170 lbs.
Revers Hypers: 2x8 @  20 lb dumbbell.

I'm feeling really good going into my last week of the phase. My weight seems to stay really consistent if I measure at the same time of day. It doesn't drop or raise from day to day, but as of day 1 I have gained about 2.5 lbs. (that's also with some fat dropped from the first week, my weight didn't change for about a week and a half.)

I expect gains to be much more noticeable once my seasonal job ends after this week and I have more time to make proper meals and eat when I really need to.

definitely good progress so far man

bw = 162
soreness = alot of hamstring soreness
aches/injuries = right big toe/forefoot pad (same as last few weeks), right shoulder (during squats it bugs out pretty bad now, rotator cuff, external)

workout:
- 400's x 3
- jumps: surprisingly good considering my soreness (~30" off drop step), only off drop step, LR and RL, big toe hurt on a few jumps, left heel on one jump
- 400's x 7

toast after the 4th 400.. just tempo'd them up from then on.




happy with jumps.. i'll probably start trying to jump every day again.. submax or max, just get jumps in.. i dont feel as good as when i was jumping every night a month+ ago.. need to get back to that, but have to be careful with heel/bigtoe.... anyway, i had alot of pop considering how sore i am/how much running ive been doing, the 400's/200's really increasing my power.

tmw is ~60m sprints, 10x.. i'll probably only run a few max then run the rest under max.

peace

the craziest thing is that they are grabbing rocks with a jump, putting full faith that it will hold their weight and they will catch and hold it...all without a safety rope, seriously you gotta be nuts

Ironically the guy in the video LBSS posted, Dan Osman, died when climbing WITH a rope.

damn, that is irony..

osman vid =  :o

you complain about 200's yet 400's are easy? or is it the fact that you ran 400's the other day that makes them harder?

probably had to do with the 400's the day before.. my legs were toast after 6 200's.. even after lots of walking for recovery.

for example my legs are pretty sore today.. calfs/hamstrings.

how important is the upper body in a slrvj? i couldnt find anything about it in the toolbox and kelly b wrote in his sl jumpers article that mass gain in other areas besides ham,quad,glute,calf is not beneficial to slrvj. should upper be trained if only goal is to improve slrvj?

it's important, but it's easier to train than lower body.. for jumping, you just need a good base of strength in the shoulders/lats etc, this can be gotten with pullups/dips/pushups/chinups (and by adding weights).. nothing special is needed here, just general strength.

peace!

ok me and some friends are driving somewhere to this rural area. we are renting a condo in the middle of nowhere. looking back on it, i realize that 1 of the passengers sounds like andrew darqui. anyway, im driving and im eating a snickers bar. (i cant even remember the last time i had a candy bar)  so anyway, while driving, i turn around and say, "its good for vert." then all of a sudden, i turn into one of those people who have a face that resembles a rabbit. i lose control of the car and crash into a pole. as a result of the crash, all of the passengers become mexican somehow. so now we have 4 mexicans and a rabbit. when we get to the condo, we insist on building a volleyball net because in my dream, mexicans love volleyball similar to the black people eating watermelon stereotype. then i remember hopping around the backyard, altho i was traveling like a kangaroo.

LOL
