vacation ain't a waste, cuz. vacation is essential. you don't have to go to the beach, but it's important to take time off. even subsistence farmers take time off.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a tiny bit, right hamstring alerting me but not worrisome
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
easy 12.5 yards on the first RL bound x 5. easy 12y on the first LL bound x 5. nice.
- sprint 30m x 5
alternating forward foot on start
- accel 30m + sprint 30m x 3
started on the curve, focusing on stepping over, then carrying that into an all-out second 30. right knee bothersome on the first and second sets but not the third.
- superset x 3
-- hand-to-elbow walk x 10
-- glute kickback x 10
- stretch
first day back, kept it pretty light. felt good.

couple of notes:
1. don't think you hit parallel. pretty dang close, though.
2. your stance is wide, and your feet collapse in a bit -- look at your right foot when you're near the bottom, the ankle is rolled in and your foot looks almost flat. your glutes should be engaged enough to keep your feet square and stable on the ground. get squatting shoes, or stick your heels a bit closer together on top of 5lb plates and see what changes. this goes without saying but use light weight when you're messing with stance. as it is the bar is up high on your traps, you're setting your feet for a power-lifting-type squat (i.e., low bar), and you're not allowing your hips to be active enough to keep you stable and push you up and through.
3. great mental fortitude to make the lift.

« on: August 25, 2014, 07:02:18 pm »Yeah but if I hear you say the sound, I can/should be able to do it.
I mean, if you say Porsche, or if you say "shhhhhhhh" as in to "make silence", it's not that hard to do, right? I just ... don't get it.
maybe, with lots of practice. if sounds in other languages were easy to say, no one would speak languages other than their native ones with an accent. i bet you $10 you don't speak english without a detectable nonnative speaker accent.

presumably because the sound doesn't exist in greek? many, many nonnative english speakers can't say "th" and substitute "t" "d" or "z" instead.
