light intensity, got breathing and HR up a bit and worked up a sweat. could not hit the broad side of a barn, though. shot all over the place, wrist very stiff, uncoordinated. it'll come back but man that's a lot of rust for just a couple of weeks off.

lunch: chipotle burrito
dinner: brussels sprouts with bacon and apples, scallops with beets
other: a fair amount of booze

SLEEP
6.5 hours, went to sleep around 11 and woke up around 5:30 due to jet lag. annoyed as i usually sleep through the second night coming west. will pop benadryl tonight.

went on a date, drank a lot, should have offered to walk her home, decided not to, no regrets.

got home last night. parents picked me up from the airport and took me to dinner, which was great because (1) free dinner and (2) stayed out of my house until 10, which helps hugely with jet lag. slept 10:15-8, now feeling pretty good and need to figure out if there's any food and/or coffee in my house. gym today at some point.

nice to be back.

EDIT: there is no food. i don't know what my roommate eats.

take this with a grain of salt as i am basically a level 2.5 player, but there is no feeling like getting on top of and whipping the shit out of a two-handed backhand. better than a good serve, better than a forehand winner, better than spiking an OH volley. i love it.

yeah man plus the restaurant i ate at last night actually uses spices, unlike most of the places in this country. seriously people eat here for sustenance and that's it, there's next to no culture of eating or cooking for pleasure. salt, oil, carbs, a little protein, plain vegetables, dried fruit. and traditional places can't butcher for shit, it's wack. anyway the lamb yesterday was tasty.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee not painful but feeling a little wonky
MENTAL STATE: good

- run x 2km
in the middle did 30/60 intervals at 16kph on/9.5kph off. forget how many, maybe 4. i think fartleks are the way to go in terms of conditioning when i get home, if continuous full-court layups are not an option. those are always the first option.

- stretch

later:

- warm up

- circuit x 3
-- reverse hyper x 12
-- BSS x 10/leg
-- cable row x 10

- circuit x 3
-- cable chest press x 10
-- shrug x 12

- calf raise x 10/leg

- stretch

another work dinner tonight and then i leave at 4 AM for the airport. 5 hours to ataturk, 10 hours to dulles. layover is 4.5 hours, which isn't awful.

DIET
breakfast: veggie omelet no cheese, glass of fresh-squeezed OJ, two cups coffee, small bowl of granola with dried fruit and strawberry yogurt
lunch: three small mulberry bars, cup of tea
dinner: potato pancakes with tongue, chicken kiev with mashed potatoes, a beer

last week i went to a little processing plant that's making it from local cows out in the mountains here. yogurt, too. the people swear by it for hangovers. peep the two bottles on the right:



on a side note, i drank the yogurt in the little pink bottle on the left. it was delicious.

i think it's a combination of things:

1. losing limit strength, although this is probably not so important as i don't think my limit strength drops all that much without squatting. i can get back up near 2xbw pretty quickly after a layoff and that seems to be mostly about neural adaptations/re-learning the movement. for example, i did a pretty easy 330x1 at ~170-172 a few months ago.
2. PAP/STIM is definitely the biggest part, but i'd break it into two categories:
2a. traditional PAP/STIM, in the adarq sense that you get your CNS excited, muscle fibers recruited, etc.
2b. i love squatting, doing it well and doing challenging reps is very motivational for me and helps me enjoy being in the gym. i jump better if i'm in a good mood overall.

i've never done it by the month. i've gone through periods where i'll squat every time i'm in the gym as long as my body feels right. right now, being on a trip with no squatting possible, i'm kind of evaluating how much to do when i get back. it does seem to help my jumping, even semi-acutely. when i go a while without squatting jumping tends to suffer. not sure there's a causal link there, or if so what it is, but that's a pretty consistent observation i've made over the years.
