that's an interesting point. i usually eat at least one banana per day as part of a smoothie, but i've been switching it up a little and even skipped a few breakfasts. dunno enough about potassium metabolism to know whether it's enough to make a difference.

doing it after 5x5 might have had something to do with that, as well

Wanted to work out, planned morning to a T to get to the court while it was still open and have an hour to do all the Jumps. Fucking gay dodgeball was an hour early. Did:

Daily routine. Added MB OH toss x 10, definite PRs for height on several throws. I'm almost hitting the ceiling now in the squash court. So close.

Will try to sneak in an hour before closing to see if I can get some ME jumps in but I'm not getting my hopes up. Will do the full workout tomorrow in any case.

Edit: EVENING

WEIGHT: 188.2 (173.6 -- guessing this is just water as i haven't been pigging out)
SORENESS: triceps (still?)
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: weirdly fluctuating, started out good and aggressive, cratered out, then ended good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 5,5,5,5,5; +5 w/o vest
frustrating, many of the jumps with the vest were barely 31, apart from a few in the 32-32.5 range early on. form felt all over the place. picked it up a bit for the last set, then took the vest off for five more jumps. these were not great, but got better over the first four (32, 33, 33, 34) and then the last one was bad.

- bound-bound-jump x 3,3
knees not feeling good

gym closed so could not do the remaining exercises. as frustrating as this was it was a good reminder that i really need to be jumping at a real target. i'm going to switch to a morning-evening split with jumps and weights so i can do the jumps on the basketball court.

where do you live? and do you not have health insurance? in the US it should be covered by insurance.

no idea whether physiotherapist and physical therapist are different, nobody says the former here.

I live in Canada.

For many Canadians, health insurance providers cover all cost or a portion of the cost of physiotherapist care. Some extended health insurance plans may require a physician’s referral in order to reimburse you for physiotherapist service, but it’s not always necessary. Call your health insurance provider to confirm your level of coverage beforehand and to determine whether or not you require a physician referral for reimbursement.

right?

WEIGHT: 186.0 (170.6)
SORENESS: triceps (?)
ACHES/INJURIES: knees achey but not painful
MENTAL STATE: very good

Daily routine. Omitted jump squats and one-step jumps because was working out with Dad. Added dragon flags, will post vid in a sec. Also added push ups and pull ups.

Jumps:

- MB OH toss x 5

- one-step RVJ x 10

- DLRVJ x 5,5,5,5,3
fourth rep of last set was a joke

- skater jumps x 20,20

- bound-bound-jump x 3,3,3
knees aching a little, decided not to push them

- depth jumps
nope, legs done

rest 15 minutes

- paused speed squat 280 x 5
unracked for second set but did not have paused reps in me.

- DL
- hip thrust
legs toast

- DB push press 55s x 10
triceps feeling the burn, weird. maybe it was the push ups?

- decline sit up +35 x 8, bw x 8,8

did not have max effort in me for DL or hip thrusts so skipped 'em. otherwise pretty good workout.

by torso i meant waist. legs straight but i bend at the waist. pretty sure that's wrong, or at least just an easier variant. will get vid today.

go see a physical therapist.
