I know you have been rocking the beard for a bit, but it looks good.

The dodge ball dunk looked easy. Your jumping great with the ball!

Major motivation for unathletic-ish short white guys worldwide! :highfive:

2/15/14 Saturday BW=160.2

back squat 135# 5x5
deadlift 185# 3x8
calf raise 210# 3x20

feeling solid today. Got a good warm up and hit back squats for the first time october 2013. form is solid.

My plan is to keep progressing my front squat for now while bringing back squats and deadlifts into the mix. slowly progress and see how it goes.

I played basketball 3x last week and feel great on that front. running vert is probably a solid 28"s as I still can not quite touch the rim. nowhere near my PR level but after injury it feel great to start progressing again.

Motivation is higher. Just need to do the work now.

2/11/14 Tuesday BW=163.0

front squat 5x135, 3x165, 3x185, 8x175, 8x175, 2x165
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x175, 5x195
calf raise 210# 3x20

After a weeks long rest, this is my second lower body work out. I feel like I should have no issue lifting, but I seem to hit a wall.
I've been trying to progress my front squat and even with light weight after a couple of sets I can not keep my elbows high enough to stop the weight from rolling forward in later sets. Like I just don't have the upper body strength to hold it.
It seemed with straps I was starting to get the hang of it and progress, but tonight I was not feeling it.
Hoping this is a valley I will pull out of shortly.

1/29/14 Wednesday BW=160.4

part 1

front squat 5x135, 3x165, 3x185, 8x175, 8x175, 9x175
barbell lunge 5x135, 5x165, 5x195, 5x195
calf raise 210# 3x20

Part 2

push up 3x50

If a front squat is really about 80% of what you can back squat. Then I might not be as far back as I thought.

I should still be able to back squat better than 1.5xBW.

Still making progress. I should be ready for 180# front squats next WO!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:

Added 40#s to my front squat this month.....

1/4/14 front squat 8x95, 8x115, 3x8x135

1/11/14 front squat 6x135, 6x145, 3x6x155
1/14/14 front squat 8x135, 3x8x155
1/18/14 front squat 6x135, 3x155, 3x175, 3x8x165
1/21/14 front squat 5x135, 3x165, 3x185, 3x6x175
1/25/14 front squat 5x135, 5x165, 2x185, 8x175, 3x5x175
1/29/14 front squat 5x135, 3x165, 3x185, 8x175, 8x175, 9x175

^^^^ Thanks Vag.

Definitely tried to push though it and made it worse after the initial injury.

Tonight's w/o....

It sucks when you know what it takes to make real progress, but you don't seem to have it in you anymore.

If that is, say, 3'' below rim, then we are talking about 46'', that is world class, no joke!!!  :motherofgod:  :ibjumping:

super slow comeback vag.

My running VJ is at maybe 28" these days, which is great because it was probably around 8"s in november.

I haven't tried a back squat for months. I have focused on front squats since the first of the year and that is coming along.

Today I feel strong and lean so I am on the verge of a comeback.

there was a major attack last night on a restaurant i've been to a bunch of times in kabul. no one i know was there but something like 14-16EDIT: 21 people were killed, including a friend of a friend who was the country head for the IMF. people die violently every day in afghanistan and pakistan and all the deaths are sad, but it hits a bit closer to home when it's a place i know well and could easily have been at. feeling a bit more messed up about it than i'd have expected.

Hearing about this kind of thing always makes me feel for the families and friends of the victims first as they are the ones that feel the impact the deepest. Things will most likely never be the same for them.
Secondary to that It kinda puts into perspective what a crap shoot life is for all of us.
Got to live life to the fullest, and tell your friends and family what they mean to you because you never know what tomorrow may bring.
