If I take weight off the bar and do more reps I'll get weaker. Yup. I believe that completely. If I want to maintain or improve my strength I have to maintain or add weight to the bar. I can't see a way to circumvent this :/

what the...who the...how did you...what...fuck...what??!?!

if training with a set stimulus stops working, you change the stimulus. in what universe does that make you weaker?

:raging: :raging: :raging: :raging:

the way i see it, this post has a few possible explanations:

1. a sudden and unexpected switch to active trolling
2. a sudden and unexplained amnesia regarding everything you've read in your own log and on the forum more generally
3. a sudden and unwelcome descent into hyperdunk-level stupidity

dropping weight and training in higher rep ranges for a little while could be exactly the stimulus you need to break through current plateaus. you cannot possibly be ignorant of that.

trigger point release/dry needling are worth a look. probably a significant amount of woo, as with chiropractic, but without the risk of them herniating a disc in your neck.

WEIGHT: 177
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: wanted to sprint, was very primed, but rain prevented that so settled on gym

- warm up

- snatch drills

- paused squat 285 x 5,5

- superset x 3
-- SL hyper +20 x 10; DBSLRDL 90 x 10; 50 x 10
-- pull up x 6,6,6
was not getting the right leg positioning with 90 lbs for SLRDL, so dropped weight. will continue with these as SL hypers are messing with my knees and SLRDL is also good for balance.

- SL psoas pull 35kg x 15
- heel walk x 50
- assisted GHR x 15
- stretch hip flexor/psoas x 60s
- stretch hamstrings x 60s

- paused calf raise 365 x 15

- pull up x 10

- hanging leg raise x 10

- stretch

meh. really wish i could have sprinted but made the most of it. snatches were okay for a while but then everything went to hell. i think sans coach i just have to cop to an attention limit with these. they're not physically challenging while i'm learning the technique and i don't want to spend an hour on them per workout if i can't actually move weight.

thread necromancy because this girl just annihilates the van halen "eruption" solo. yes, i know it's not strictly from the 80s. but it seems so very 80s to me.

i guess i just don't find that boring or unexciting.

tried to find a highlight reel of spurs dunking and doing flashy shit but other than some between-the-legs passes and ridiculously difficult layups, there ain't much.  8)

I can't stand watching them but damn they play beautiful team ball. I definitely think they'll give the Heat problems if the Heat make it by indy

i don't get this. they play beautiful team ball, they are beautiful to watch. how can you not stand watching them?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: kind of out of it, pissed that the field i wanted to use was closed

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds 10y x 4
avishek SL bounds: small bound alternating with a bound for height

- broad jump x 4

- DL bound x 4,4,4
meh

- alternating 1-2 SL jump 40y x 4

- easy-fast-easy x 10 strides each segment x 4
the field is bumpy and terrible for sprinting, and no reliable distance markers.

- stretch

workout sucked but better than nothing.

thanks for the thoughts, raptor. inhibition is definitely a problem for me on max DLRVJ; my best jumps have come when for whatever reason i'm able to go fast and smoothly into and through the plant. not sure that's true for sprinting or SLRVJ -- SLRVJ it's still more a hamstrings/calves weakness issue. but it probably can't hurt to throw some light potentiation-style stuff, as you suggest, into the ends of my workouts. might do those weight-free right now.

Ha that's awesome. Must be strange/cool to meet someone from the forum IRL.

well, it is weird to be talking out loud about people named "raptor" and "t0ddday."

btw, t0ddday, is it "tahday" or "today"?

worked out with avishek tonight.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: a bit jazzed, underslept, but good day at work. plus working out with someone else always adds a bit of stimulus

- warm up

- SL bound practice
took some cues from avishek, will be modifying these a bit.

- broad jump w/reset x 4
i think this was a PR, ~37

- DL bound x 4,4,4
~37'6, 37, 36'6

- various DSVJ, SLRVJ, DLRVJ, broad jump-to-SVJ
got some video, best jumps were 2-step DLRVJ's later in the session once i started thinking about getting low.

- sprint 40y x 2
avishek timed them. first start got fucked up ran 5.6. second start was good and ran 5.1  :o  also timed him at a 4.7

- race avishek 40y x 2
he beat me by about 4 yards in the first one so on the second gave me a 3y head start and beat me by a yard.

***go to gym***

- light warm up

- LB pause squat 275 x 5,5
fuck high bar.

- circuit x 2
-- SL hyper x 10
-- pull up x 8,8(+6)
-- DB OHP 40s x 10
-- ab pull down x 20

- stretch

great workout. i have not gotten enough sleep the last two nights but it was good to work out with avishek. he's faster and jumps higher and has more practice with bounds and shit so that's helpful.

will post some vids later.

Dreamed that I was at a TYT paty when this guy came http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001455/ and grabbed me from underneath my jaw on the left side of the face and I was paralized and couldn't do anything.

It turns out I was paralized in real life too,sleeping and unable to move and feeling like dying.

clicked link, lol'd in real life.  :almostascoolasnyancat:
