Also LBSS i had a dream last night i went back to highschool but with all the life experience and saavy i have as an adult. Was a cool dream. No relevance just thought to mention.

edit oh and I wouldnt go by emails. No one in this country bothers returning them if you cold mail them. Phone call or go see them in person.

we'll see about the email. looking through the club's website again i'm actually more hopeful than i was before. will be funny if i have to eat my words.  :derp:

cool about the high school dream. i often think to myself how much ass i could have gotten if i had the confidence that i do now. not that i did terribly in that department in high school, mind you. but there was plenty of room for improvement. same goes for college, really. youth really is wasted on the young. ::)

I am absolutely confused by how some of the guys on the forum insist on training alone.   Maybe LA is just different but down here you can't walk around a track without seeing a training group and joining one is a piece of cake... If you just be friendly at the gym and track you should be able to get your way on a team...

believe me, i've looked. the only track groups i've been able to find around here are for distance running, or else are too far away to be practical without a car. i could join a triathlon or power lifting or olympic lifting club tomorrow. but sprinting just isn't a thing in this area unless you're in high school. the club that organizes track meets in the area has weekly track workouts but they seem to be for middle distance runners.* if i could go back to high school now i'd join the track team and just beg to do sprints and jumps even though i'm better suited to (i.e., not quite as horrible at) the mile. but i'm 27 and got my diploma 10 years ago. don't think they'd let me on the team.

the point is: LA is different.

*that said, i never got a response when i emailed some months ago asking about sprinting practice. would be worth reaching out again to see if they just misrepresent themselves on their website.

can't remember the last time i had a hangover like the one i woke up with today. horrible. didn't get any food until like 7:45 PM, couldn't even keep water or gatorade down until noon. the wedding was fun, though. i got hit on mercilessly by an 85-year-old lady who called herself the queen of the potomac and told me i had a lot of ASSets and then smacked me on the ass. 

:lololol:

yesterday afternoon:

- circuit x 3
-- assisted natural GHR x 10
-- BSS x 10
-- pogo x 10
-- paused push up x 10

- stretch

today:

- lie in car with eyes closed
- sit by pool with eyes open

this afternoon shot around and did some layups for about 30 mins. very lazy, left shoulder really bugging, bad bad. better than nothing. going out of town this weekend (ANOTHER wedding) but i will do some BW stuff for hip extension and shoulder stability, if the shoulder calms down.

also, looking around at inno-sport and some other korfist stuff i'm getting all depressed again about the state of my big toes. i really do think they cripple me in terms of jumping and sprinting even when they're not actively in pain.

I dont get it. When the chinese coach guy told me to do ankle jumps etc in 2013, LBSS & co said lol wut. And when I asked specifically for advice for improving my athleticism (Jan-April) i got absolutely nothing, even though I was willing to try out anything. But when i decide to get back to what I think I care about (squat goals), suddenly everyone piles up giving their 2c and tell me im going about things the wrong way. So excuse me if i'm a bit annoyed.

don't remember the chinese coach thing but are you fucking serious about january? that's what you remember? there are pages and pages of t0ddday and raptor (and me and vag) trying to suggest things, encourage you to FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE in doing dot drills and line hops and the like, writing out sample programs. go back and look.

I find baseball "that weird American sport", but that was kinda cool.

baseball and not (american) football? baseball is pretty weird, i admit, but it's super popular in northern latin america and japan and korea. american football is literally only popular here and (a little) in canada and (a little) in mexico. but anyway it's hard to overstate how incredible that throw was. for reference, in case you can't tell from the video and are unfamiliar with baseball, that throw went more than the length of a soccer field. entire seasons go by without anything like it.

Step-ups... very interesting...

i dunno, seems like a good way to focus on SL triple extension: low technical requirement, can do pretty much anywhere, low impact, low likelihood of irritating my lower back.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: quads, hams a little
ACHES/INJURIES: right wrist a little, right foot (midway down the lateral side) after jogging warm-up*
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- explosive lateral step-up x 5,5,5
foot on low step (~6"), heel in front of knee, explode up focusing on full triple extension.

- depth jump @ ~12" x 3,3; @ ~18" x 3

- shoulder stability circuit x 3
-- paused push up x 10
-- three-way band rotation x 10

- reverse hyper +10 x 10,10
on bench, DB between ankles. more lower back than glutes, need conscious focus to get full glute involvement.

- layups/dribbling x 20 minutes
i am laughably bad at handling the ball, so in between sets of layups i did a bastardized and horrible version of taylorhorton's old dribbling circuit. also some free throws.

will stretch after eating, very hungry now.
