nice! yeah, that's the main benefit from IF as far as i can tell (having never tried it myself but read about a lot of people doing it). you still get to eat a big satisfying meal at some point, you're not constantly forcing yourself to eat less in the moment.

word, i'll give that a try this weekend. thanks.
did something real stupid tonight and had a beer even though i needed to work out. it was two coworkers' last day and they're both leaving the country so i wanted to go but i should have had a glass of water. also meant i got to the gym late, pretty soon before closing. not a bad decision i make often.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings, calves a little
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder
MENTAL STATE: one beer deep, so fine but not 100% ready to work out
- warm up
- jumps x a few
just terrible, did a bunch of four-step approaches just as practice. not a complete waste, actually.
- superset x 3
-- bench 135 x 10
-- DB row 70 x 10
30-60s rest between exercises
- decline sit up ISO 10/10 x 5
10s holding myself parallel to the floor, 10s rest
- stretch
blah.

i vaguely try to start out relatively easy and then run harder at the end. not sure how well that works out in practice; i don't have split times or anything. so, in short, no. any ideas?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder kind of a lot, head
MENTAL STATE: headache, tired
- warm up
added a-marches and a-skips, as well as side-to-side hops and high-knee carioca. best SL bound sets were 12y(R) and 11.5y(L)
- sprint 60m x 4; 300m x 1
right knee bugging on the first couple of 60s but it loosened up. played around with starting position, having feet farther back. i think it's better. also tried to run with better backside mechanics, snapping feet up and stepping over rather than letting my hips tilt forward and my feet drift back. my self-diagnosis, helped along by the vid and korfist article i posted in the sprinting section earlier, is that i'm a push runner to the hilt and that i'm super inefficient. form felt a bit forced but not slower. hopefully with a bit of practice i'll gain speed just from fixing that one problem. the 300m was 47.3; the first ~130m was into a brisk headwind. still sad that i'm not below 45 but i'll get there sooner or later.
- cool down walk
- stretch
pretty happy with this workout considering how stressful the past two days have been, and that i had a headache basically from lunch until i started warming up this evening.

2 rounds each minute
Cleans-100
wallballs-20lb
0-3:00 6 reps each
3:00-6:00- 8 reps each
6:00-9:00- 10 reps each
9:00-12:00- 12 reps each
12:00-15:00- 14 reps each
minutes 15:00-18:00 i was dead as shit, i think i was 7 reps short on the second round of cleans to finish
Hex Press- 60sx4x10
tricep work
machine work
unless i'm misreading it, this sounds basically impossible. no way can anyone do 28 reps of cleans and 28 of wall balls in a minute, let alone every minute for three minutes. or did you mean one round of cleans and one of wall balls per minute? even that sounds damn hard.

that double-elbow-hang is the holy grail of dunking IMO. it's so ludicrous.

the best laid schemes o'mice an' men
gang aft a-gley.
was at work until 9:30 last night, so no proper workout. did significant foam rollering of inner quads/adductors, glutes, and t-spine. my shoulder is, if anything, worse than it's been. very irritated and tight in certain positions.
this morning, i woke up to go jump -- very excited, as the gym is not open on wednesdays most of the year, but the calendar now says "open gym." the fucking thing was fucking covered in fucking children in fucking sleeping bags. how fucking hard is it to update a fucking website so that fucking paying fucking members like me don't fucking jog all the fucking way there at the crack of fucking dawn only to have to turn around and fucking run fucking home.
