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. 

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

- 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

have to be careful even with weights in hand, i fucked up my back for a couple of weeks earlier this year doing DB jump squats.

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.

cottage cheese is narsty. greek yogurt with blueberries and honey ftw.

man i'm slow, that's less than a second (or just over a second if you take the high end and add the 0.3 for HT) off my FAT PR.

What was your fat pr?  Your 60m was no greater than 8 when i trained w you, so im giessing no worse than 12.5 unless you had a bad race...

A second is a lot!

13.1 in first race, 13.0 in second race (i think).

pushups?

feel a little sick today and very sluggish. planned to wake up on the early side so i could go to the gym but decided to go back to sleep instead. gotta hang out with my brother this afternoon before he leaves town so no gym until tomorrow. this weekend turned out to be more of a break than i meant it to be.
