NYC? nice. whatd u do?

hung out with friends, drank a bunch, went to the brooklyn museum and dia:beacon, shopped for vintage clothes/books/misc., relaxed.

It's been my lifetime fantasy to get to New York at some point

good fantasy, new york is awesome. i've been going a couple of times a year, at least, since birth. my mom's family is mostly in the city or the metro area (dutchess county and fairfield county, ct). would love to live there at some point but it'd very likely require a career change. not something i'm against, just not happening imminently.

I actually thought you lived in NYC, LBSS.

nope, i live in washington, DC.

was on vacation in NYC with gf last several days. it was fantastic, but i got no exercise in other than some mobility/stretching stuff and lots of walking. played it conservative and quick today: she's about to be busting her ass 5.5 days a week so i won't have as much time with her. workouts the rest of the week will be quick. back into the regular swing next week.

keep up the good work, man, seems like you're making good progress and considering how big you are you're in pretty damn good shape. be careful about some of those crossfit workouts, though. sumo dl high pulls are a terrific way to fuck up your shoulders.

a max set is a working set. not sure who you're saying is against working up to a 1RM. i'm doing that right now every workout and loving it. kf does it almost every single day. but there's a difference between trying to hit absolute PR's every day, which is a huge drain on CNS, and working up to a max that you can handle.

if you ever do get those big firm strong buttocks, you should wax, post a pic to the big booty bitches thread, and then revel in the lulz when raptor and mutumbo upvote you.

from my n=4 experience (i.e., four ankle sprains), ace bandages are better than braces.

what is your track training like and what events are you planning to compete in?

WEIGHT: 177
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left wrist, left knee a little during squat warm up but otherwise okay
MENTAL STATE: fine, unremarkable, felt a little stupid cause i made it all the way to the gym from my office without realizing i was carrying the wrong bag. had to turn around and go back.

- warm up

- rudimentary hops

- SVJ x 4
25.5, meh

- depth jump 20" x 4; 12" x 4
20" is too high, i got one jump at 26 but the rest were clumsy. 12" is easier to get coordinated, hit several 26 and one 27, but i'm still clumsy with these. lots of room for improvement.

- squat 345 x 1; 355 x 1; 280 x 4,4
355 went up strong. should get 360 soon.

- S1: back extension +35 x 10
- S1: pull up x 7,7,4+2+1
- S1 info: 3 rounds, 30s rest.
jesus christ, weak on the pull ups. time to get back into these, did horribly today. back extensions get a good light pump.

- S2: DB bench 60s x 7
- S2: roman chair leg raise x 15
- S2 info: 3 rounds, 30s rest

- stretch

front squats look great. you still have a weird hitch in your giddyup on the back squat that you don't on the front squat, but it does look better than before. the first rep looks good and then you start breaking kind of jerkily at the knees. i wonder why front and back are so different for you w/r/t knees.
