I ended up taking 6 melatonin tablets (!) last night and I still couldn't feel sleepy. Apparently training wires up my CNS so much that it made them completely ineffective. 2 nights before when i took the supplement for the first time, 5 tablets totally knocked me out. My star burns so bright in the gym, i know lifting heavy 3x a week isn't sustainable but i dont know any other way. I am hungry for success. Today and yesterday have been good diet days so far. Somewhere along the lines i found discipline but lost others.

Melatonin doesn't work like that.  It doesn't have anywhere close to a linear response.  In fact more melatonin can make you feel less sleepy.  Why are you taking 6x the amount of something?

lol.

could not fall asleep last night and slept fitfully once i did. made the call to go back to sleep when my jumping alarm went off and ended up being a little late to work, even. need to figure this sleep thing out, it's been a problem the last few weeks.

i was at a dinner party with some people who had young kids. i tried to teach a ten-month-old boy named fifth april* the words to "solidarity forever." he did amazingly well for someone so young, although he was more interested in chewing on his shirt than repeating "dodidarity" after me.

*no idea.

Hey, what does the +20 mean? This one:

Sun Dec 14 405x1 | +20.


that he feels he could have lifted 20 pounds more than that day's max lift. that is, his max yesterday was 425 but he limited himself to 405. do not attempt to use this method of accounting, he earned it through a shit ton of practice.

watch the whole thing. the second-to-last lift is a guy DLing 605 at 155 with a double-overhand grip.

that was an alternate grip. still extremely awesome.

indeed it was. not sure what i was seeing the first time around. but yes, holy balls, what a lift.

Off right? That's so random.

yeah i'm gonna stick with 'em for a while. would be so sweet to have a full ROM unassisted.

also, i meant to mention: touched rim off right leg SLRVJ, very close off left today.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a tiny bit
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- jumps x 25-30, out to four-step
very good, consistent 33-33.5 off three steps, couple of clean "dunks" of the mini soccer ball and a couple near misses. ~34-35 off four steps.

- superset x 2
-- assisted natural GHR x 5,8

- superset x 3
-- cable hip thrust 160 x 10

minimal rest on both supersets. dislike cable rows, gonna stick to inverted rows. no time to stretch. busy social schedule this afternoon/evening.  ::)

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: VMOs, adductors, lats/intercostals
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: meh

- shoot around and layups x 30 mins

- jumps
tried a few but i was barely hitting 30 off one step. too sore. better to get in and move around with a bunch of submax jumps than not.
