How's Pakistani tinder?

UNTRUSTWORTHY.

will stick to face-to-face meetings here thank you very much. there's no real dating here, everything is people meeting in groups and then pairing off from there. feels a bit like high school in that way.

you think pistol squats hit the VMO hard enough though?

varies from person to person. for real isolation your best options are TKEs and SL machine leg extensions while concentrating on firing your VMO. externally rotating your leg a bit and palpating the muscle can both help get it to fire.

ACHES/INJURIES: none
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- deck of cards
clubs=squats x 2, spades=toe-touch crunches, hearts=chair push ups, diamonds=band pull-aparts

- SVJ x 8,8

just trying to adjust my internal clock so i can be getting up earlier. once my running shoes get here i think i'll start running some mornings.

evening

- pistol x 5,5/leg

- shrimp squat x 10,10/leg

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- drop-step jump x 4,4/leg
way submax, floor is marble and very slipper

- circuit x 2
-- SL reverse hyper x 20/leg
-- SL bent leg reverse hyper x 20/leg
-- leg lower x 20

- stretch

hidden benefit of not being able to really train: the constant, low-grade pain that i've been living with in my left hip and right knee -- for so long that i don't even journal them -- seem to have reduced dramatically. didn't even notice until i went to do pistols today.

weird. exact opposite for me. wearing it around and warming up with and then taking it off felt like putting on rocket boots. got like a 2" boost on DLRVJ, which is like 6%. pretty big effect, for me the difference between getting high enough to dunk and not. just wearing it to warm up had no effect.

interesting that your experience with the weight vest is that chronic use is less effective. the one published study i've seen on weight vests and potentiation found the opposite, i.e. that acute potentiation (wearing it to warm up and then taking it off) was minimal to nonexistent, but chronic potentiation (wearing it around for days at a time and then taking it off after warming up) did have a significant positive effect. my own experience was of the latter.

wow this is the longest non-vacation journaling gap i can remember. did get some exercise the rest of last week but nothing to write home about. i think the deck-of-cards workout plus some jumps and stretching is going to be my go-to, especially until my jump ropes arrive. it works as a warm up (the combo i did on saturday -- diamonds=bed dips, hearts=band pull aparts, clubs=lunges x2, spades=toe touch crunches -- took about 15 minutes and i broke a light sweat) or as a more challenging workout (could come up with a harder set of exercises, e.g. with burpees, or go through the cards multiple times).

fight on.

y'all it is going to be hard to work out here. might need to shift to AM workouts because i'm going to have some late nights as a matter of course. tonight i'm just going to drink.

set my alarm for 6:30 AM, let's see if i can get myself out of bed and do something meaningful.
