Yeah fuck him, the majority of people out there are trainers and the worst ones tend to be the "actual trainers"

yep. this is also why i've stopped offering advice to people. more often than not, even if you have good advice and good intentions, if you offer it unsolicited they think you're an asshole. because giving unsolicited advice, free of any context, is for assholes.

anger jumping ftw.

 

your squats are fine. smug smiles are for epic douchebags.

lol i wish i hadn't been so sore. might have PR'd. 

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hams, glutes, quads, lats, lower traps
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: tired

trainer dude who pointed out that i was tilted on my squats asked if i wanted some advice after my first four-step jump, which was a horror show. soreness+tiredness+lack of focus=31". i said, no, and he kept smiling and kind of said, "really?" and i said, "really, but thanks for the offer." and then i jumped 33.5-34.5 the rest of the time with maybe one at 35. prick. i was mad at his smugness so i hung on the rim each jump. dumb. my shoulder is still not fully healed it's not that bad anymore.

- stretch

- DB swing 45 x 12; 50 x 10,10

- more stretching quads, hams and glutes

- squat 195 x 21
not good, lower back pump serious, endurance bad. harder than 230 yesterday in a way. i might drop the weight next week and do 185 or something.

- stretch

fuck that asshole. my squats aren't even that bad.

the tim in vermont one rep max calculator gives me an estimated max of 395 thanks to my 230x16 performance yesterday. this shows how useless those calculators are, at least at higher reps.

squat looking solid. dunno how i feel about your neck, seems a bit hyperextended, but that maybe not such a big deal.

the one-handed catches vid is insane. he's not even trying, if they had a machine pitching him the balls at a higher rate he'd have caught more.

had more than usual but not a ton of alcohol last night, 6-7 drinks total, all beer. was absolutely crippled today. vomiting, weakness, headache well into the afternoon. took a nap this afternoon, which i basically never do. no booze tonight, lots of sleep, hope for hard workout tomorrow.

watched a track meet on TV after my nap. made me want to go run.

if you're a couple inches taller (i'm 5'11 in the morning, lol) and have normal arms then yeah your reach is probably ~7'8-9.

this morning:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little bit
MENTAL STATE: sluggish
STOPWATCH: ???

- shoot around, layups, DSVJ
very slow, legs dead. did not even attempt DLRVJ, would have been ugly. left shoulder bothering me a little bit, need to take it easy. it's so close to being healed. good that i forced myself up and to the gym even if this wasn't much of a workout. rhythm's gotta start somewhere.

- stretch
