welcome back, and nice job on the PRs, especially the pull ups. you're tall, hitting three sets of 10+ is solid.

yeah those aren't actual training vids, they're showing off. i'm with coges, i'd do all that shit if i was strong and mobile* enough, it looks really fun.
*to me that's the most amazing aspect of his vids and the reason i followed him: the guy can move. lots of dudes can deadlift a lot of plates. not many dudes can do a back-pistol-squat-eccentric-to-sots-press-to-OHP-to-pistol-squat-concentric.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger fucked in a new way, no can grip
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: motivation kind of low, had to drag myself through this
- warm up
- superset x 3
-- high-rear-foot BSS x 20/leg
-- push up x 20
-- band pull-apart x10,10,30
- AMRAP double unders x 20 mins
487. paced myself too much early, had to work hard at the end to get there. love this.
the inside of my right fingernail is now extremely tender. totally fine unless i apply any lateral pressure to it. since gripping involves fingers being together, no can grip. fuck.

also 34 isn't that big a waist. chill.
also be careful of herniating yourself, my friend was trying to get me to do some yoga version of stomach vacuum the other day and my groin did not like it.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger fucked in a new way today, right knee mildly
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: fine
- warm up
- bench
decided to take the AELS route and not test my knee. then went to bench and the new way in which my right finger seems to be injured prevented me from even gripping the empty bar properly. same went for pull up bar. bagged it.

« on: January 16, 2017, 06:57:11 am »Nice! You seem to be pretty close overall... I'm way off haha. Waist (big obliques/erectors but also fat) and especially legs way too big. Arms too small.
lol yeah except for my little guns.
slept for something like 9.5-10 hours last night, way past my alarm. guess i needed it. knee still feels a little angry but i'm gonna try squatting tonight anyway. if it feels off i'll just do leg press instead and then the rest of my workout. beach work is definitely happening.

following a comment in leonel's journal, here's that greek proportions thing that joe posted in the OG era: http://www.fitness.com/tools/greek_proportions/.
here's what i've got now (diff from "ideal" measurements in parentheses):
wrist: 6.8"
chest: 42.4" (-1.8")
forearm: 12.0" (-0.8")
waist: 31.5" (+0.6")
thigh: 23.7" (+0.3")
hip: 37.7" (+0.1")
calf: 15.5" (+0.5")
biceps: 13.8" (-2.2")
neck: 15.0" (-1.4")
fwiw i think a little bloated from huge breakfast, waist was 31" even the last time i measured. so, same as ever: legs close to greek ideal according to some random website. chest, neck and especially arms skinny.
i feel good about my current project to get slightly more swole.

last night:
ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger fucked
SORENESS: soleus a little
MENTAL STATE: fine
- warm up
- pistol x 5,5/leg
- shrimp squat x 10/leg
- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg
- ME SVJ x 6,6
- DSVJ x a few
there's a doorway at my friend's place that i can slap, she's moving out soon but reminds me that finding something to measure progress against is good, even if i'm not focused on jumping right now.
- AMRAP double unders x 10 mins
~270, lost count briefly at the beginning so don't know exact number. pace obviously higher than thursday. my soleus/calves are sore today.
- stretch

+1 bodies are fascinating. i've literally never felt heavy in the way y'all are describing. my adult weight has stayed within a range of 15 pounds at the most extreme (as low as 165 when i've been sick or adjusted to a completely new living environment and routine, and as high as 180 when i was doing starting strength), and generally within five pounds/2kg (171-176 or so).
