The gym was closed for a week, or I probably would have played.

I feel like I play an adequate amount of basketball, but I need to cut back on work and kids.

It does seem like it limits the amount of progress I can make on lifts though. Everything is kinda a cumulative drain for me,

giving me excuses and low motivation to go get it.

2/22/16 Monday BW=167.0

b-ball 1.5 hours

2/23/16 Tuesday BW=166.4

js 5x45, 5x95.
Paused squat 3x185, 1x225, 1x235, 3x10x220, 6x190
calf raise 5x12x160

body was above average today, but I got my mind straight and was able to progress a bit.

No way 20 reps was happening today though.

The past few days I put extra work into mobility. So much to workout, but the positive results sure help.

i can do a (lot of) full pistol(s) and i am good at crossfit and bad at performance.  :lololol:

I could die happy tomorrow with your current no-pads performance, Always been in awe of your ability to grind through everything. Keep it up!

I can also knock out pistols and shrimps with ease, but 1.5bw+ on a barbell and I fall apart.

paused squat 3x185, 1x225, 1x245, 5x255 MSEM, 20x185
calf raise 5x10x160

Things are feeling solid the last week. No basketball and decent sleep the last week, so I am feeling fully recovered. Been working on my mobility in my hips also.

Still doing about 150 push ups every other day with my feet raised. I need to get back into pull ups and dips.

neck tweakage is gone. Had a bit of a holiday over the last weekend.

Squats are feeling really quality lately, been getting in more mobility work then the none I have been committed to for the last 6 months.

Most mornings that I play basketball I usually do about 20 pull ups, but for some strange reason last week I tweaked my neck doing them. Not sure how that happened? Sometimes you don't realize how good you are feeling until you don't.

Been playing basketball and doing some push ups. Feeling slow but solid, nothing nagging.

Squats felt so solid tonight. Stamina felt great until the last set, I will need to work up to 20x185. Probably should drop weight down and get it done, then build up.

The last week has been challenging. Trying to get back into the groove. Basketball and cardio are coming back, weights are still a-miss.
My body loses fitness like lightning and makes progress at continental drift. Granted training is far from a priority and much less then ideal.
Good news is lots of room for improvement. I am going to focus on getting my reps up on my squat, as well as the weight. nice and simple.
2 or 3 days a week of basketball depending how I am feeling. No more upper body weights, just body weight movement when time allows.
More sleep and keep my diet in check a little bit better. Plus just keep on grinding.

^^^^My upper back is tight when unracking and through the first few reps. I lose it and things go funky once I get gassed.
My current problem is I get gassed very easily, even with weight that should be light for me. My body and mind are not working well together.
This winter I can't seem to get my body warmed up and my mind focused for progress, It gets frustrating and that starts the downward spiral.

1/2/16 Saturday BW=165.4

jump squat 5x45, 5x95
paused squat 2x185, 1x225, 1x235, 4x235, 5x225, 7x205
barbell lunge 3x6x205

Today is no different, can't get my mind/body in a lifting zone.

peaks and valleys. some days I wonder why I even bother.

I can't seem to keep my upper back tight and my spine neutral through the lift. When things are going good I feel locked and can actually progress. other days not so much.

On a positive note it was actually better then last Saturday.

Only the SL bound video worked for me.

Placing the video in the comedy section is being a little rough on yourself.

bar pull 4x8xbw


My body is feeling the best it has in probably 1.5 years or more. I am eating horribly lately and I have felt slow and sluggish.

Wednesday I was able to get a couple more reps on my squat, but today felt horrible. At least I know it is not for lack of calories or rest.

b-ball 1.5 hours

12/19/15 Saturday BW=162.4

jump squat 5x45, 5x95

barbell lunge 4x6x205
bench 4x5x205, 4x205

I started off this morning feeling drained and beat up from last week.
Lifting alone in the cold of my garage is difficult sometimes. Seems like I can't push myself to move heavier weight most of the time. Tonight everything seem to click.
Recently I haven't had the gas to move 240, tonight 245 seemed light, so I moved on to 255 for MSEM. Thats 15#'s since last MSEM session. When small increases in weight seem difficult for me this is major. So much of progress is mental for me. My body is getting stronger but my mind is weak.
