suggestion to improve leg drive and timing based on my recent n=1 experience: DB push presses. easier on shoulders and wrists, no chance of hitting yourself in the chin or nose, can get rapid feedback on how much your legs are contributing to the press.

god what a lost week.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: knees-ish: see below
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up
right knee bothering me from waking until about halfway through this warm up. then no discomfort until later.

- skater jump x 20

- one-step RVJ x 5,5

- DLRVJ x 20-25
first 10 or so with vest, rest without vest. hit 33+ on a couple of vested jumps, 36 on the first unvested and then a bunch more in the 34-35 range. inconsistent but some really good. have some vids, will post.

- bound-bound-jump x 3,3
knee discomfort back immediately

- squat
on 185 warm up set my left knee started feeling crazy. two things: it's usually my right knee that hurts so this is extra annoying; and i've never quite had this feeling before, like shit was criss-crossing inside my knee. scrapped it. will lift tomorrow.

now i have to go help my dad cut down a tree. that should be fun, at least.

- daily routine
knees better, got really good sleep last night for the first time since last weekend. maybe sleep correlates super acutely to knee and/or other joint pain? something to track.

- daily routine
knees killing me, very low motivation. this week has been extra stressful at work, early mornings to late nights, too many meetings, dealing with the fallout from the guy we fired a couple of weeks ago, and just found out that someone else on our team took a job in ukraine. can't blame her, it's a great opportunity and she'd be stupid not to take it, but the timing is rough.

why don't you just get a motorcycle?

it wasn't ankle pain, though. the pain was in my shin. my ankle was bothering me, too, but separately. but yeah maybe it is just the active lifestyle thing.

this morning went to do jumps but could not get warmed up. knees hurting, tried to do some one-step RVJ and it was similar to the other day when i could barely unrack 285: my brain was just like, nope nope nope.

3984
nah it was a really localized pain point a bit above the front of my ankle. i've had shin splints before, this wasn't that. completely gone today, fwiw.

i read about a condition called ehlers-danos recently. i don't have it, thank god, but it kind of made me wonder again whether there is something congenitally wrong with my joints.* i am pretty much always in discomfort somewhere or other, and in fact i think i always have been. the pain comes and goes without apparent cause, at least most of the time.

*other than my big toes, which i know there is something congenitally wrong with them. namely, arthritis.
