not meant to be backhanded, if you clean it up you should be able to dunk off a drop-step, which is awesome.

much like the guy squatting on a swiss ball, that is both terrifying and incredibly impressive.

oh wow man, killing it with those jumps. i'm now officially striving to match you. except the DSVJ, that was ugly as hell. but the SVJ and SLRVJ were nice.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none but a little stiff
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- sprint 30m x 5; 50m x 3; 110m x 1; 200m x 2
wasted after the second 200, really pushed hard on it.
- stretch
tough workout, pleased with the level of effort, especially on the last 200. everything prior felt pretty slow, though. no times yet but i convinced my gf to come to the track with me and she taped all the sprints and a bit of my warm up as well. will edit the vids together this week for your viewing pleasure, and for all of you with sprinting experience to tell me what i'm doing wrong. i'll see if imovie has a function that places a stopwatch in the corner of the vid so i can get some approximate times for each rep.

Basketball / Re: paul george leg injury
« on: August 02, 2014, 06:45:07 pm »Yea it hurt to just watch! Have they confirmed what the actual injury is?
not that i know of but it's at least a fracture of the tibia and fibula. i mean, they broke clean in half, don't need to be an orthopedic surgeon to see that...

Heart's out to the guy. I could barely look at the still, let alone the video. ESPN.com says his season is "in doubt"...uh, no shit, Sherlock. His career is in doubt after an injury like that.

yep, good call raptor. a "mint" is where currency is made, or "minted."

yes, i know where it comes from and what it means. 
in colloquial american english, "menthol" refers almost exclusively to cigarettes. you would never say there was menthol in chocolates, you'd just say they were mint-chocolates or had mint in them or mint flavoring. the only other case where you might say menthol is in reference to a pharmaceutical product like mouthwash or topical analgesic.

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.
