^^^ thanks man. it ended up being really nice, actually. beautiful service -- my great-uncle was an awesome and well-loved dude -- and it was great to have such a huge gathering of all my cousins and second cousins on that side of the family. sad occasion, of course, but still.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: posterior knees
MENTAL STATE: angry, grateful for the beautiful evening on which to work out
- warm up
- avishek SL bounds 10y x 3
- broad jump x 4
near-PR, at least 37'
- DL bound x 4,4,4
not quite as far as the broad jumps, maybe 10-12" off.
- sprint 40y x 4
self-hand timing, but for the record: 5.2, 5.4, 5.3, 5.1
- 1-2 jump 40y x 3
- tempo run straight-curve x 3
tough, liked these. could have shortened the rest periods but otherwise these were great. not sure of the track's dimensions so don't know distance, but the sprints were 26-28s. challenging.
- stretch
had a rather shitty day at work. now i feel better.

WEIGHT: 178
SORENESS: quads, hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: quads, anterior lower leg
MENTAL STATE: okay, not great or bad
- warm up
- SVJ x 10
- one-step SLRVJ x 6
- paused squat 285 x 1; 255 x 5,5
legs felt terrible on the single so i dropped weight. will go back to 285 next workout.
- circuit x 4
-- pull up x 8,8,7,6
-- assisted GHR x 8
-- dip x 8,8,7,6
- circuit x 2
-- calf raise 415 x 10
-- heel walk x 30
-- stretch calves
- stretch
not enough sleep and too much stress this week at work. a bunch of friends are leaving town and had "last nights" this week so i was up too late several nights. and it's just been 100 mph at work so getting up early, getting up before my alarm, that kind of shit. couldn't even sleep in today because i have to go to the eastern shore for a funeral. better luck next week.

without going back and looking at the paper, the only explanation i can think of is that it's a paused squat jump. so hands on hips or head or whatever, dip down, pause, and jump from that position. even then it seems low.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings quite a bit, traps a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: dragging a little, hamstring soreness meant i knew i wasn't going to be at my best and that makes it hard to get up
- warm up
- avishek SL bounds x 4
- broad jump x 4
not bad at all, which surprised me. not PR-level but not far off.
- DL bound x 4,2,4
meh, these were worse. second set got interrupted by a soccer ball coming straight at me. fucking soccer. in my dream world i have a full olympic oval and football field all to myself, with an enclosed, wood-floor basketball court with an adjustable rim right next to it and a full weight lifting set on the side (barbell, bumper plates, squat rack, bench). time to get travolta money and see what i can do.
- various SVJ, DSVJ, SLRVJ, SLRVJ, and avishek hop VJ
as ever on shitty jumping days, these all made my knees ache. 4-6 reps of each per leg.
- 40y dash
skipped, knees unhappy and didn't want to push hamstrings with ME sprinting.
- tempo run 80+ x 8
the straight on the track is not a full 100m. my guess is it's about 80m.
- stretch
- heel walks x 50
- stretch
pretty pleased with this workout considering how crappy my legs felt going in. forcing myself to do tempo rather than ME 40s was smart. there's a reason you're supposed to do speed stuff before gym stuff but jesus would not allow it, in His infinite wisdom he caused a thunderstorm to rain down yesterday. so it goes.
