vest has other effects. if you've tracked my journal you've seen the strong potentiation effect for jumping, which is also borne out in the literature. could also help with other types of speed/explosive movement or conditioning. taking off even a comparatively light vest after wearing it for days on end makes me feel very quick and powerful. never occurred to me that it'd help with weight loss.

WEIGHT: 185.8! (168!!!!) 
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: a little dead, stressful day
- warm up
felt quite sluggish
- MB toss x 10
couple of very good throws, mostly okay
- DL bound x 4,4,4,4
second and third sets markedly farther than normal, good
- squat 315 x 1,1
- stretch
gym closed. snowpocalypse 2016 preparations, commence. i hope the gym doesn't close this weekend but i'm not getting my hopes up for that. hopes much higher for sledding.
in addition to stress, the sluggishness may be linked to the big ol' weight drop. first time i've been under 170 since, uh, i don't know it's been many years. since college maybe? waist is legit 30.5 which is the smallest also in at least 5 years if not longer. i've been at 31-31.5 for a long time.

me and t0ddday have the same one, i think, although i'm not sure how he got 20lbs into his. mine has maxed out at 13lbs, dunno where to put the additional 2lbs of weights i have. i like it otherwise, hugs my body well and i can wear it under clothes (chunky sweater or sweatshirt) with no one able to see it.

Basketball / Re: A WHOLE BUNCH OF DUNKS AND SHIT.
« on: January 20, 2016, 04:04:09 pm »Off one leg, RL and LR plants in the same game.
that's a "triple double" or "triple" from dunking standards.. home run would be left leg dunk, right leg dunk, rl & lr dunks.
hitting for the cycle would be L, R, LR, RL, and SVJ.

WEIGHT: 189 (170.6)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- depth jump @22" x 4,4
- DL bound x 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3
- paused squat 225 x 3,3
bar was flying on first set, second set still pretty explosive but not as much
- SVJ x 5,5
- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg
- drop-step SVJ x 3,3/leg
man i can sniff sub-170. need to make sure i keep protein plenty high. found a place near my office that makes quinoa, spinach, and chicken pesto "burritos" that has 75g of protein and like 3-400 fewer calories than chipotle. that's helping.
