so much flair. feel like he and j will should be in the same thread. steph curry, too.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: headache
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
had the stroke, head hurting.

- DLRVJ x a few
floor very slippery, could not get up very well. head hurt in between reps.

- SL proto-bounds and DL pogos
trying to do the t0ddday SL bound practice thing for a bit. uncoordinated for the most part, got some vid and may post if it's not too embarrassing (it's very embarrassing).

- squat 285 x 5,5,5
very strong

- bench 180 x 5,5,5
very strong

- RDL 225 x 8,8,8

- leg press calf raise +270 x 20,20,20

- pull up x 6,6,6

- DB row 75 x 10/side

- stretch

meh workout. the court was covered in tables and chairs, had to move some stuff out of the way to even be able to warm up. and floor was filthy from whatever activity they'd been doing. plus trying the t0ddday thing was hard. then again, squat and bench were excellent.

DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch: N/A
dinner: lots of pulled pork, swiss chard, bean salad, cup of chocolate milk
other: cup of chocolate milk, small cup of warm milk with vanilla and a little sugar

SLEEP
9+ hours

thanks y'all! hoping for a big year.

- warm up

- DLRVJ
was off, could not get over 32 off one step. changed tacks, will do day 6 workout tomorrow.

- superset x a bunch
-- light KB work
-- glute activation

8 hours. sweet.

well i'm not quite in my 30s decade yet, just turned 29. but thanks, hope i dunk soon. 

so begins my 30th trip around the sun.

Kicking Back Cognitive Ageing: Leg Power Predicts Cognitive Ageing after Ten Years in Older Female Twins.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Many observational studies have shown a protective effect of physical activity on cognitive ageing, but interventional studies have been less convincing. This may be due to short time scales of interventions, suboptimal interventional regimes or lack of lasting effect. Confounding through common genetic and developmental causes is also possible.
OBJECTIVES:
We aimed to test whether muscle fitness (measured by leg power) could predict cognitive change in a healthy older population over a 10-year time interval, how this performed alongside other predictors of cognitive ageing, and whether this effect was confounded by factors shared by twins. In addition, we investigated whether differences in leg power were predictive of differences in brain structure and function after 12 years of follow-up in identical twin pairs.
METHODS:
A total of 324 healthy female twins (average age at baseline 55, range 43-73) performed the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) at two time points 10 years apart. Linear regression modelling was used to assess the relationships between baseline leg power, physical activity and subsequent cognitive change, adjusting comprehensively for baseline covariates (including heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, lipids, diet, body habitus, smoking and alcohol habits, reading IQ, socioeconomic status and birthweight). A discordant twin approach was used to adjust for factors shared by twins. A subset of monozygotic pairs then underwent magnetic resonance imaging. The relationship between muscle fitness and brain structure and function was assessed using linear regression modelling and paired t tests.
RESULTS:
A striking protective relationship was found between muscle fitness (leg power) and both 10-year cognitive change [fully adjusted model standardised β-coefficient (Stdβ) = 0.174, p = 0.002] and subsequent total grey matter (Stdβ = 0.362, p = 0.005). These effects were robust in discordant twin analyses, where within-pair difference in physical fitness was also predictive of within-pair difference in lateral ventricle size. There was a weak independent effect of self-reported physical activity.
CONCLUSION:
Leg power predicts both cognitive ageing and global brain structure, despite controlling for common genetics and early life environment shared by twins. Interventions targeted to improve leg power in the long term may help reach a universal goal of healthy cognitive ageing.

squat, bitches.

i dip pretty low as it is, sadly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1SDTb9EKTs

you know, looking at ur startups reminds me of how i used to start my attempts when i was doing pole vaulting when i was 14-16.

pole vaulting is awesome.
