Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Party's Over!
« on: September 22, 2016, 09:11:38 am »
i have an applet on chrome that shuts my screen down for two minutes 2-3 times an hour during the work day. it's easy to ignore if i'm plowing through something but most of the time i use it as a prompt to get up and go to the bathroom, or get some water, or just do a few old man stretches at my desk. i think it's called break time. worth a try.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: neck still stiff but not as bad, not too painful
MENTAL STATE: fantastic for some reason
- warm up
- MB OH toss x 3,3
much power, hit ceiling very hard. prob hardest throws i've done.
- SL jumps x 5,5/leg
- squat 315 x 3,3,3
felt so strong, these were easy. could probably have done 3x5, which would tie all-time PR, but that's not the point. last reps explosive on each set.
- TTB x 8,8
- stretch
whoa. not sure i would have jumped high today but i felt strong as fuck. haven't gotten enough sleep the last two nights, either. weird.

so just cos i hate something doesn't mean i wont eventually fall in love with them and vice versa (front squats and half deadlifts aka rdls) but whatevs .. ya'll over-reacting. why can feynman call an idea dopy or dumb and still engage it but without implying any judgement of the person who said it. acole put me onto TENS units and for that im ever grateful but apologises all round.
can't speak for others but i was specifically referring to your bizarre assertion that touching the backboard is "different from anything you'd do athletically". that doesn't make sense! not even a little bit of sense! i am very curious how that thought formulated itself in your head!

confession; im not dealing well with coming off this diet. my appetite is insatiable, i want to keep eating and eating .. not good.
sounds very unpleasant.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: some kind of strain appeared out of nowhere in my neck, i think around c5
MENTAL STATE: irritated, deflated
- warm up
everything felt fine, then all of a sudden my neck was in serious pain. tried to continue but pain wasn't going anywhere. cut workout off.

interesting point. it's not really lat growth i'm after with these -- i'm not really after growth at all but if it's for anything i'm concerned with upper back, i.e. traps and posterior delts. so the slightly elevated torso seems to get the stimulus i want, at least by feel. like this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yeykhcQs0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yeykhcQs0</a>
any further thoughts on doing 'em that way more than welcome.
WEIGHT: 187.8 (172.0)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee tweaking a little
MENTAL STATE: very good
- warm up
- skater jump x 10,10
- one-step RVJ x 5 + 3
with vest + without
- DLRVJ x ~15
got a dude to throw a few lobs but he was terrible at it. back ironed one with the left hand and one with the right and that was as close as it got. hit 37 without the ball, though. glad i cut yesterday off!
- squat 330 x 1; MEBM 185 x 20
- superset x 3
-- pull up x 1,2,3
-- dip x 1,2,3
vest on
great workout!

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right trap feels a little sticky for some reason, nbd just weird
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- skater jump x 20
- one-step RVJ x 3+1
vest on + removed
- DLRVJ x 20
a little inconsistent but hit >36 several times, felt fluid and springy. pretty good.
decided to call it a workout and see if i can jump high tomorrow, too. in any event i'll do the rest of the workout tomorrow.

how gassed are you at the end of a run like that (5k @ 20:30)? just wonder if you'd be helped by upping mileage a bit. seems like your overall volume is low even for middle distance. maybe aerobic base just isn't solid enough?
