Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Age vs Vertical
« on: March 16, 2017, 12:31:52 am »I love throwing in some weight on pullups. It's cool to be able to regulate the intensity of such a great movement and in my experience helps me improve faster. People definitely don't do that enough.
What do you think is a good way to attach the weight? I usually just use a lifting belt and chain free weights on between the knees.
never seen a better way than this.

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: something a little wonky in right hamstring
MENTAL STATE: good
- yoga x 75 mins
felt extra good today, ended feeling both like i worked and a bit blissed-out. beginning to get back into the yoga groove.
also went down a little GMB rabbit hole today and it reawakened my desire to work on some bodyweight holds and stuff. that and i'm frankly bored at the gym, going through the motions is fine but it's not exciting. first thing is to fix my wrists, especially the right one. i'm going on vacation from friday to the following sunday (hungary and croatia with the parental units), and i'll do a lot of walking and whatnot and, if i can convince them, perhaps some HIIT-style stuff with mom and dad. but i'm also resolving to do the GMB wrist warm up every day.

i think so many of those videos are from russia because dash cams are so widespread there. take this with a grain of salt because i just read it somewhere on the internet, but i think that's because insurance fraud became rampant: pedestrians diving onto the hoods of cars and then claiming they got hit, and the driver is assumed to be at fault unless there's evidence to the contrary.
i live in pakistan, fwiw.

MENTAL STATE: good
- yoga x 75 mins
knees a bit achey at the end but less so than previous sessions. focused on keeping soft knees throughout, even when the posture called for straight legs. did a bunch of SL balances, was fun.

got in a car crash on the way to work. the drivers in this country are truly terrible, as a rule: i ran into the guy's right tail light because he stopped suddenly, for no apparent reason, after swerving partway into my lane. luckily i slammed on the brakes and was only going a few mph when i hit him. the car will need a new headlight and maybe a new bumper but otherwise it's fine.
on the bright side, it's another confirmation of how much it takes to stress me out: my heart rate never went up, even when i was pulling away from the crash and wondering if the guy would follow me (needless to say, you don't exchange insurance information in this country). this is a trait i appreciate in myself so yay for me.
