SORENESS: glutes a little, abs, traps
ACHES/INJURIES: right wrist during handstands, damn it
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
superset x 5 of jump rope 60s + joint circles

- handstand practice x a couple
my wrist is going to prevent me from really working on these. shit.

- jump rope 120/60 x 3
tough on grip, left hand was cramping on the last set. might make this the focus for a while: building up to 12 rounds of 180/60. should be easier once i get my own ropes, which are stuck with the rest of my stuff in lahore.

- stretch

+1 on taking a training break. seems like a wonderful idea if you can afford it. i'm not really thinking about what's after pakistan yet but one idea that's kicking around the back of my brain is just that: go chill in california for two months and do nothing but train and hang out. we'll see how much money i've got saved up by then.  ::)

on your jumps, an observation: you accelerate into the SL plants off multiple steps. but on the DL plants each step is done at the same speed, you're not adding from one to the next. that's why you're not getting any higher off multiple than one. you could try a saying a cadence cue to yourself, like "slooooww-faast-fast." that's worked for me a bit on days when i was having trouble accelerating step to step.

She was just very misleading.

As for the:
315 Bench
500 Squat
10.x 100m
<6 feet dunk
I think only 0.00001% of the population can do those things. But yeah on youtube everybody can...

fixed.

was planning to play ultimate tonight at the british high commission but have some GI issues. decided the wiser course of action would be to stay close to a bathroom. so it goes, the pitch will be there and apparently there are multiple games per week.

if i feel better in a bit i may go up and do some light work, maybe rowing.

not that i spotted. the only aussie beer i saw was hahn low-carb, i think. someone bought me one -- one benefit of being the new guy is everyone buys you drinks, i didn't pay for anything last night -- and it was gross, so i switched to asahi and moretti.

i just started growing my beard back in, too. gonna keep it trim this time around but i look so young cleanshaven, or at least young enough that all the ambassadors i met the other night looked surprised when my boss (who's the CEO and knows all the ambassadors and other senior muckety-mucks in this city pretty well) introduced me as a director. it was funny to watch their facial expressions go from blank being-introduced-to-nothing-person-who-i-won't-ever-have-to-remember to eyebrows-up-oh-i-see-okay-then-slight-head-tilt.

I wanted to get a recording but the person who usually records them is busy and i think he probably is fed up of always recording as before he was able to record when he was busy but now he is busy to do it, or maybe im just over thinking it. But I have to get someone else to record it, which I have yet to see a person who is willing.

SORENESS: VMOs, esp R
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good

warm up

- circuit of jump rope x 60s + joint circles + sprinty stuff

reactive/explosive

- MR half tuck x 15,15,15

- broad jump x 5,5
found the empty room (i.e. "aerobic studio"), alhamdulillah. no measurement for these, felt in calves/soleus pretty strongly on the landings.

- one-step RVJ x 3,3

strength

- handstand practice x 5 mins
mostly just kicking up against the wall and holding for 10-20s, periodically trying to kick off. got one free hold of 5s.

- pull up ladder x 2+4+6+4+2 (+4 chin ups)

- TTB x 6,6

- walking lunge x 50,50
first set steps too short, all quad. second set longer steps, better.

stretch

now THIS is a workout i can get behind. was fun to do, i feel great now. will not be mad if the only thing i get better at while i'm here is gymnastic stuff, if i can also stay in reasonable shape and get a few jumps and jumpy-type things in. it's okay to hit the hamster wheel on a lot of stuff.

jet lag was awful today. not sure i slept more than 2-3 hours last night and i was just AWAKE, in that terrible jet lag way. i went out to look at places to live and by the end my head hurt so much i was nauseous and had to go back to my room and take a nap. so, needless to say, resting tonight.
