yeah who knew rivers had it in him? i'm just impressed that he wasn't ruined to the depths of his soul by blake griffin's savagely accurate impersonation of him last year.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 8
a bit inconsistent but hit 36+ a couple times. best jump was the third or fourth after i reminded myself to relax and stay loose.

- half daily routine

gym should be open around noon tomorrow, got my buddy lined up to come throw some lobs. felt okay today, hoping for big jumps tomorrow. will try not to get too amped in the morning, that leads to overthinking which leads to tightness which leads to shit jumping.

oh duh 5k is 3.1 miles, not 3. my bad. 18:38 should be more than doable, you're less than a minute off with zero coaching and not much specific training. ever think about doing 800m repeats in under 3 mins, just to learn the pace without tuckering yourself out too much?

yeah the lack of arm swing is the first thing that sticks out. also there is some evidence that a deeper dip can lead to a higher jump. might be worth practicing bigger amplitude. here's me a few months ago, for another comparison:

one thing i'd say, though, is that you should not focus overly much on SVJ. it can be an okay training tool for practicing triple extension and for RFD but it's not gonna help your RVJ as much as practicing RVJ. that may sound obvious, but i think i spent too much time on SVJs even as recently as a few months ago. haven't done an ME SVJ in weeks and i don't miss it.

i didn't meant to be patronizing although i understand why it comes across that way. sorry for that. you're obviously very bright, this is not to do with your intelligence. actually i think your intelligence is getting in your way.

you don't have to empty your glass, but in my experience the quickest progress comes when i find someone i believe to be credible and i follow their advice. i still enjoy learning about training, pain management, diet, etc. but my own training has gone best when i've stopped second-guessing adarq, or t0ddday, or even kelly baggett years ago, and just done what they said.

much of what you think you know about training is actually mistaken. you've read some articles, you know a little bit about training, you know how to do some exercises, you know a little about diet, and your brain has made what feel like big logical connections. but those connections are mostly off. it's as if you started playing a video game where you can see part of the map, and with your imagination you have filled in the blank spaces erroneously but with a great deal of confidence. now you're trying to navigate around the blank parts and every time you reach a place that doesn't reflect the scheme that you made up, you either make a violent effort to proceed as if your mental map is correct, or else you say, "fuck that way, i didn't want to go that way anyway," and you turn around. but the treasure is on the other side of the blank part of the map! and we have an active member whose version of the map is much more complete than yours, who is willing to help you get there for free!

so, here is some unsolicited advice: stop thinking you know better. better yet, stop thinking you know anything. allow yourself to be led. your commitment and drive are unmatched on this site except maybe by adarq and t0ddday. you've made some great progress at times. but you're shooting yourself in the foot over and over. just listen to t0ddday.

or keep spinning your wheels and engaging in the world's most pointless (because, again, your premises are wrong) intellectual wankery.

wait your broad jump is 2.1m, but four bounds only gets you 4m? that doesn't even seem possible.

if the green line is 3m, you're getting closer to 2.5m. measurement is to the rear-most heel, not toes.

ETA: where you going in the states?

welcome back, and nice ride. it's funny, i'm almost 30 years old and have never owned a car. didn't need one in college and certainly don't need one in DC.

might look into getting one in pakistan, although i'd have to learn to drive on the other side of the road.  :-X
