« on: March 20, 2016, 10:03:03 am »barrage of strong videos. nice work on those paused speed squats! the last 3 reps of each set looked good, can really see you continuing to drive through.
thanks! i think the first two reps i tend to be more cautious, just to make sure i can get through the whole set, and then from rep 3 onward i let loose a little.

« on: March 20, 2016, 10:02:01 am »Nice work man. I have never noticed the deadlifts from the plate before, have you been doing that long? and how are they working out?
the deficit increases the difficulty on the first part of the full and the stretch on the way down. i've been doing them for 3-4 weeks now. dunno whether they're working out, as with the decline sit ups i'm just doing them because t0ddday told me to.

WEIGHT: 172.2
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, alhamdulillah
MENTAL STATE: very good
- warm up
- MB OH toss x 5
hit ceiling on every rep.
- one-step RVJ x 5,5
- depth jump @18" x 3,3,3,3
- paused speed squat 285 x 5,5
muuuuuch better than the other day. wow.
- DB push press 55s x 10,10
got it
- deficit DL 315 x 2,5
no straps first set, could not complete safely
- hip thrust 315 x 15
feeling the low back pump, this weight is too light, will use 335 next time
- decline sit up +45 x 8,8
last five reps of second set were concentric w/bar in front
- kroc row 75 x 20/arm
great workout, legs felt terrific, whole body felt light and strong. strikes me that i have not hewed that well to T0ddday's schedule for me on some weeks, including this one: skipping out early on workouts or dropping whole sets of exercises. that leads to workouts like this one where i feel really good, but i worry that it defeats the purpose of the way he set it up. mental weakness has been a factor.

i don't get psoas DOMS, no. as far as how effective they are...dunno. i'm doing them because t0ddday told me to.
not sure how you'd know psoas hypertrophy was working because they're entirely buried.

MORNING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right posterior delt, right wrist extensors
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee, right toe
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- skater jumps x 20,20
- one-step RVJ x 5,5
- DLRVJ x 10
awful, topped out at maybe 31.5, several abortions in there. the vest really fucks with my form, knees want to travel forward. would have kept going but the preschoolers arrived. as i adapt to mornings i can get there a bit earlier and do more, but i'm still a bit slow to warm up.
EVENING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right posterior delt, right wrist extensors
ACHES/INJURIES: both knees
MENTAL STATE: shaky, weird
- warm up
- MB OH toss x 6
PR, hit ceiling on fifth throw
- bound-bound-jump x 3,3,3,3,3
- paused speed squat 285
brain shut down, could not even start a working rep. dropped to 225 and brain still would not start the rep. mental weakness, i think if i'd had a partner there i would have at least tried a rep. very strange feeling, i love squatting, but a couple of times in the last couple of weeks it's just felt awful. knee discomfort had something to do with it, i think.

- tennis x one hour
played against my cousin, who is 19 and a girl but was regionally ranked as a junior before she got to college and stopped playing seriously. i am bigger, stronger, and faster than she is, but i'm a hacker. she beat me 6-4. much rust on both our parts. very fun. will play her again.
