- 4-on-4 basketball x 2 games
i suck and am out of shape but this was really fun. got some rebounds, some steals, blocked a dude shooting a three (he complemented me on my hops later and told me he was glad i didn't try to dunk on him ), hit a couple of shots, bricked a couple of shots, what are you gonna do. before and in between the games i hit a couple of jumps easily at 34.

- superset x 3

- stretch

one last real workout tomorrow, for which i decided to save myself tonight, and then i'm going on vacation through the following sunday. first-ever trip to vienna, holler all y'all euros on here. might try to sneak over to bratislava, too, and budapest if i can convince my gf that it's worth the time. not gonna pretend i'll get real workouts in but i'm going to try to do 7DVJC as many days as i can, and stretch/SMR.

canvas straps cost like $15-20.

in re: sharing your goals with other people. i've found it helps me. i might have given up long ago if i hadn't started sharing my goals with people on here. and now that i'm close i'm open with people about it. most people are cool about it - or just impressed at how close i am at my height/skin color - but the few smirks and raised eyebrows are just added motivation. laugh it up, fuzzballs.

...be careful, man.

ACHES/INJURIES: lower back tightness lingering but mild
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- jumps x a bunch
sooo much better, still not where i was the week before last or the week before that but none of the clumsy slow bullshit from the past week. dunked the large dodgeball once or twice, got owned once or twice ( ), back-ironed it the rest of the times. a few SLRVJ as well.

- BOR 135 x 10,10,10

still giving my back an easy time.

thanks man, good tips.

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: lower back tightness still there but barely, posterior lateral right knee tweaking during squat warm ups, left toe freaked out at the end
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- paused squat 260 x 3,3
overpowered the shit out of that shit. bar was flying on all reps. 265 next time. like i said posterior lateral right knee was bothering me during warm ups but i focused on keeping good glute engagement and spreading the floor and it was fine. sweatpants might have been causing the problem.

- superset x 3
-- DB OHP 35 x 10
-- pull up x 8,8,5+3

- cable row 70 x ? a bunch

- decline sit up 45 x 5

- band pull down x 25,25,25

- DB RDL 80s x 10,10+15s hold

- stretch

- shoot around and a few jumps
on fire, hitting over 80%, touched rim off SVJ, DLRVJ approaches were meh and on my first four-step my left big toe started screaming at it me like it hasn't in literally years. pain went away pretty quickly but i did an SLRVJ off right, touched rim, and called it a night.

pretty freaking pleased with how i jumped considering it was at the end of the workout. will see about getting up early and jumping tomorrow, then again possibly on saturday, but up in baltimore. also promised the gf i'd do yoga with her on saturday, so i'll try to work out first.
