146?!

That's lighter than my highschool days. I weighed 67 kg back then. 144 = 66 kg. The least I've ever weighed was 64 kg when I was 21, due to eating 1 per day off ~5$ per day, me and my mom. So I was living with 2.5$ per day for food then.

5am training session

 :uhcomeon:

The only PR I would get out of a 5 AM session would be a length PR on my vomit projectile.

Back in high school I would jump the highest after doing "warm up and gymnastics" stuff for 50 minutes. I would be extraordinarily tired yet jump like crazy (but I was light, at 67 kg).

Now I probably jump the highest after 1 or 2 aggressive games of 3 on 3 (I rarely if ever play 5 on 5, I have no place/nobody to play with). Whenever I play 5 on 5 I feel so reactive, so much blood in my legs - I bet if I would play 5 on 5 consistently I wouldn't even need too much plyo work, except for actual jumps.

But I think the heavier you are, the more the jumps need to come "first" - or else by the time you get to jumping you'll be tired, your legs will be filled with blood and you'll be "muscle-bound", not reactive.

At least this is my experience with this so far.

it's really hard for me to sleep when I can't figure something out.. that's why I usually don't try and figure complex things out after 12 AM or so.

this simple piece of code took me 3 hours to figure out.. I was overlooking something for a lonnnnnng time.

Code: [Select]
q4 :: forall site.
     (YesodPersist site, YesodPersistBackend site ~ SqlBackend) =>
     Key Board -> HandlerT site IO [(E.Value Int64, E.Value Int64, E.Value Int64)]
q4 board_id = do
  runDB
    $ E.select
    $ E.from $ \((thread_post :: E.SqlExpr (Entity ThreadPost)) `E.LeftOuterJoin` (thread :: E.SqlExpr (Entity
Thread)) `E.LeftOuterJoin` (board :: E.SqlExpr (Entity Board))) -> do
      E.on $ thread ^. ThreadBoardId E.==. board ^. BoardId
      E.on $ thread_post ^. ThreadPostThreadId E.==. thread ^. ThreadId
      E.where_ $
        board ^. BoardId E.==. E.val board_id
      return (E.countDistinct $ board ^. BoardId, E.countDistinct $ thread ^. ThreadId, E.countDistinct $
thread_post ^. ThreadPostId)

now, i go lie down and die.

So this is how my life is going to look.

I always wondered - do you do that with a phone with the GPS turned on in one of your pockets or how?

This is like when you play Counter Strike, make a ton of damage to an enemy, then some guy kills it and gets all the credit. #notFair :D

Just kidding, calm down :P

Yeah and the rent is crazy, not to mention buying a house there. I have a friend who works there and he uses the currency there as he would here, except he's earning more there than here, even if we had to use the same coin. So...

You live in Switzerland? I had (my dad, actually) a chance to get there as a political asylum refugee back in 1986. Who knows how my life would've been now if that were to happen.

609
I wonder what would happen if you were to potentiate yourself a bit with some med ball throws/KB swings before your jumps.

For me, it is. But that's just because I HATE food. I absolutely, genuinely do. If I had an option of not eating at all and living my life like that, I would take it. Eating is tiring, takes a lot of time, it's too much of an effort, and it sucks. Nothing exciting about eating, for me. Just a necessity of life that I didn't ask for.

So for me, it's very weird to glorify that in any way.

just working on getting low and getting my feet out in front in the plant so that my knees don't travel forward. not very good height.

Maybe this is why I always have the knee "collapse" - I'm so used to planting underneath me (that's what comes naturally) that when I try to do that "off a run up" I subject my legs to too much tension on the incorrect position for a running jump - I try to do a running jump with a standing jump mechanics - and I get the knee collapse.

Well yeah, sure, I mean, if you're passionate about food, then go for it. It's just that I can't understand, that's all.

5x187.5? How can you manage to hold the bar in your hands at that weight for the duration of a 5 rep set?

I will never understand people that take pictures of food/food they're eating. I just can't.

I was actually thinking about that as I was watching your skater jumps... I was like "how can he trust that the foot won't slip when he jumps from side to side, I would be terrified" and secondly "how doesn't he slip?!"
