20 days is awesome, where are you going?

i think a lot of it is fake it 'til you make it. chick says no, you're crestfallen but out loud say, "cool," and inside say, "whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, her loss, her loss, her loss, her loss."

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little (this is a bad trend)
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 3,3
33-34, pretty good

- DLRVJ x 3,3,3,3
not great at first so switched to submax sets of three. gonna go for PRs tomorrow, will see if i can get a buddy to throw lobs.

- daily routine x 0.5

Do you use knee sleeves?  Also, did you feel your knees caving in towards each other at all?

nope, never have. no caving. i don't even really cave on max attempts.

yeah i hadn't really been single as an adult until the last year. and i wasn't that self-confident as a younger dude. still a wuss in some ways, my buddy was making fun of me the other weekend for not wanting to go up to women at the bar we were at. i believe the quote was, "you're the best-looking dude in this bar but you have the self-confidence of a fourth grader." in my defense, that chick was a smoke show and i did end up going over to talk to her. nevertheless, i'm way more confident than i used to be and that has resulted in sex with a lot of different women. and lots of dates.

anyway, was rushed again last night. and tired, as i said.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squatting, in a weird new way
MENTAL STATE: out of it

- warm up
did some one-step jumps but height was so bad that i didn't press

- squat MSEM 305 x 4
felt like shit, knee hurt. got some power but felt unsteady. blah.

- fuck it

on the plus side, i got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. let the repairs begin.

what is the status of your knee?

no idea about balls for playing but cheap rubber is an interesting thought.

WEIGHT: 174.0 -- helloooo, set point
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little tight but okay
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- paused squat 290 x 5,5

- pull up x 5,5,5,5

- decline leg raise x 20,10,10

late workout because had to go to a happy hour for a coworker who's leaving (didn't drink obviously) so i was a little rushed.

there is basically no chance your cardio is getting worse, unless you're getting emphysema or something. progressive overload doesn't work that way and you've been both adding miles and losing weight.
