knee feels fine, it only bothers me during and immediately after sprinting anyway. sometimes the dull ache is there the next day but sprinting is the only activity that seems to make it flare up. and even then, sometimes it's totally fine and sometimes it's crippling.

my right mid back feels a little spazzy this morning, and i've had a headache since yesterday afternoon.

the russian routine looks alright but is that really enough DL volume? it's a core lift for competition, doesn't it make sense to practice it more often?

the main highlight ESPN showed of usa-NZ was the haka dance and the US players looking confused as shit. haka dance is baller but much more so when the team has a chance of actually being intimidating, as the all blacks do.

Yeah it's tokenism using the haka dance in basketball.

yeah, there's also that.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: pecs and lats a little
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, left hip, right knee kind of bad once i started sprinting
MENTAL STATE: okay
 
- warm up

- sprint 30m x fuck my knee
started bothering me on the first rep and did not respond to rest, shaking out, massage, stretching, anything. tried to do a bunch of submax sprints focusing on stepping over and keeping my elbows at 90 degrees but even that was not feeling right.

later

- stretch

felt looser than i have in a while in the gym. i think it was the tennis yesterday.

Damn... had a workshift... feeling like absolute ass right now (not because of work but).

going to stuff my face so i dont weight. i have a fever.

you drunk brah?

lol @ seifullaah's calculation question.

and yeah, fitness is a major culprit. also, t0ddday gave me a couple observations a few days ago about the video i posted recently. the two main things were:
1. i have too much terminal joint movement. my elbows snap open and closed but my shoulders remain still. arm angle should be more or less consistent and movement should come from the shoulders.
2. my stride length is too short, which comes from being too quad dominant and not letting my hips do the work. extrapolating from the 50m sprints i'd be at ~60 strides over 100m, which is way too many.

by way of cure, he suggested that i add stiff leg bounds, alternating bounds with running shoulder action (i.e., not both arms together but rather treating the bound like an exaggerated run), and doing some stride count stuff like sprinting out to 30m and then making sure i get four touches per 10y after that, even if that means overstriding. so i'll be adding all that jazz to my warm up.
