sorry to misattribute to vag!  :P

he is the one who has seemed to most embrace it in the last couple years though.

drank too much last night. buddy i hadn't seen in a long time hit me up. also had a date, which will not lead to a second date (woman was not attractive enough). between the two things, too much beer. was a bit hung over earlier but not too badly. heading to the gym now (3 PM), hope it doesn't affect training too much. poor sleep quality last night (obviously alcohol-linked in part, see below).

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none (even the little hitch that's been in my hip for so long that i don't log it was not there)
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up
included 3x3 DL bounds

- DLRVJ x ~10
near-PR levels, a bunch of strong dunks with the dodgeball. excellent. one jump in particular something just clicked and felt different/better than the others. easily 36".

- squat 295 x 5

- bench 190 x 5

- RDL 235 x 8,8,8

- kroc row 80 x 21L,21R

- paused leg press calf raise +295 x 20,20

- stretch

wow, great workout. decided to switch squat and bench going forward to a kind of wave approach, so day 1 is 3x5, day 3 is MSEM x 8-10, and day 6 is 1x5 with more weight than day 1, and then the next week's day 1 uses that day 6 weight.

DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch:
dinner:
other: cup of coffee

SLEEP
6 hours, plus 3 hours dozing but not sleeping because my fucking neighbors are having some construction done on their house that involves a power saw and a nail gun.

AELS is vag's term, i think: anti-ego lifting squad. don't go for sudden milestones just because they make you feel like a baller, especially if going for them might get you hurt.

will go for 315 next week (not this coming wednesday but the following one).

I love sports statistics and stats say Curry is changing the game and practically should take every shot he can because he's soo good. Crazy

great article. curry is neo from the matrix.

to put it another way, he's playing in god mode.

grip training is fine but why would you let it limit what you're doing for your legs? get straps.

Whatever I eat :D lol Id estimate around 1.25-1.5x lean muscle weight.

Let's say your 12% BF.  You're like what 180 lbs?  That's 158lbs LBM. 

So you get 198-237g of protein a day without a concerted effort to count or get lots of protein + without the help of protein powder?!  That's a lot.  If I don't make an effort and just eat what I normally would eat, I end up with too little protein and too much carbs easily

+1 post diet or it didn't happen.

no log for yesterday, diet was normal, sleep was fine.

so many active journals and so many people doing well has me fired up to go train tonight. mantra is "AELS, AELS, AELS" -- i'm tempted to kick MSEM squats all the way up to 315.  :-X :highfive:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings and glutes a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
layups and shooting around, tried a few one- and two-step DLRVJ but was not good, too sore.

- depth jump @19" x 5; @26" x 4,4

- squat MSEM 305 x 10
~45-60s rests. bar was popping. sixth rep was a little wobbly so i took a bit of extra rest and refocused. rest good.

- 5-minute pull ups on the 30s x 3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,5
beat whoever it was that did that recently :P

- DB OHP 35s x 10+3+3+3+3+3

- stretch

DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch: chipotle
dinner:
other: two cups of coffee

SLEEP
7.5 hours

those are like adarq's old REA squats, just safer because you've got the machine instead of a BB.

My response is: Union Yes. You can guess the rest of what I feel about it. Instituting a living wage is humane and makes economic sense. The main (rational) argument against wage hikes is that they'll boost unemployment because business won't hire as many people if they have to pay them more.

This is thoroughly refuted by the majority (though not 100%, it's not like climate change where the consensus in the community that studies the issue really is near-total) of economic studies of the phenomenon, which show that there is little to no effect of wage hikes on employment rate. For a good, recent review of the evidence and an attempt to explain why wage hikes show no such effects in real life, check this out: http://cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02.pdf.

There are also irrational or evidence-free arguments against wage hikes, which amount to the equivalent of telling homeless people to get a job. Hard to know where to start with those.

The irrational argument in favor is that we are forcing people to live in poverty even though we have the means to do otherwise, and that is immoral.
