6hrs ski

Legs = toasted.

snow is cool.. i saw it ONE time

Getting to the gym is harder just cause there's so much other shit going on, and then I'll be visiting family for Christmas, which is like a blitzkrieg because my mom's family is so big and spread out. I should be able to get a run in or some hill sprints or something and MAYBE get to a gym. And to be perfectly honest, it's easier to blur the line between legit reasons for missing workouts and excuses. Anyway, full-on workout tomorrow for sure, then Sunday if I'm lucky (gonna be on the road) and next Tuesday, then five days without gym access. Oh well, just gonna get some road workout ideas from Ross Enamait and stay active when possible.

ya man just throw in some sprints, bodyweight stuff, and jumps.. that'd be fine during your time off from the gym.

4 rounds jumprope, wanted to do more, but it was pouring

bunch of pullups/pushups

2 x 50 depth drops from 18", legs were jello by the end

some ghr's

pc

ive never done line hops bare footed, i'd think they would really burn up?

The holidays are a great time for many reasons, but they sure make it harder to get to the gym  Anyway, yesterday I just had time for squats, but I finally felt like the form was back and I started progressing again.

Warm up
abbreviated

Work
Squat 3x5x250

Cool down
stretch

why is it harder to get to the gym?

thats why i liked having the key to MSC.. we'd go do workouts on x-mas & other holidays ;0

Failed vertical jump testing & dunk session.

Reason 1 : 8 Degrees Celsium + wind + light rain.
Reason 2 : Weight with clothes = 199lbs.
Reason 3 : RVJ still fucked up , i feel totaly out of coordination, probably from excess bodyfat.

2x5 SVJ : getting steady 27'' , 0,5'' below PR.
2x5 RVJ : feeling like crap and getting 29''. Yup , just 2'' above SVJ , negative SVJ-RVJ gap PR!
No dunks attempted , '29 inches' and 'dunk' cant exist together...

trying to dunk in 8*C / wind / light rain has got to suck.. heh.

hmm... so what would u recommend?
im terrible at planning my workouts...


as far as gains go, the last game, last sat, i tried out both my running 1 footed and 2 footed vert.
both didnt gain anything, abt the same height, tho my legs were both tired.

hopefully when they're fully rested i'll have gained an inch or so, tho it feels unlikely

my 1 foot and 2 footed approach is now abt the same, which is kind of a bad thing really imo...

hopefully i'll get a vid soon, so perhaps u guys can see whats wrong...

well, it still seems that your workouts are still all over the place.. you need to find a structure and stick to it for a bit.

i still advise the stuff i said in my intro post..

you need to get on a rhythm, and then see how that rhythm effects you.. finding a 'rhythm' is very important.. if you keep changing things up or deviating, it can really just have you spinning your wheels..


as for weight, not sure yet.. i'd think you should do what i said above and then we can see..

peace mang

Thanks both , very useful advice & article...
Ya , now i understand what it is. It is that "lag" that i see when starting / stoping bulking with heavy carbs... like there are ~6-7lbs that magically appear when you start bulking and magically dissapear when you start leaning...

yup, exactly..
