weekend was awesome. spent tons of quality time with friends, ate extremely well, watched michigan win a nail-biter from the student section, lost my voice from all the shouting, drank a bunch. good times. i was very active this weekend at low intensity levels, lots of standing, walking, bowling, playing catch, etc. no workout but i did stretch and foam roll at my friend's house and i played pretty intense 1-on-1 with my best friend yesterday morning for 45 minutes. we're very evenly matched -- he has much better ball skills (low bar) but i'm stronger and a better shooter. some good jumping, although when i tried DLRVJ after the game it was bad news. knees not having it. that usually means i'm tired and dehydrated, i think.
also, i fucked the fuck out of my right big toe. like bad. i think it started with the bowling. felt okay during bball yesterday but afterwards it was painful enough that i was limping for a while and then had to focus hard to not limp later. ibuprofen and several rounds of ice yesterday helped and it's better this morning but i got a shooting pain during a meeting and it's still sensitive. i will squat tonight but not jump even if i feel good, no sense in aggravating it. holiday season is approaching, going to be harder to be consistent in the gym. must maintain focus.
gym closes in two weeks. i think for the time being i will stay with my gym but shift to the 14th street location and just do CMJ, jump squats depth jumps and short-distance or stationary MR stuff. i called the church today to see about using the court even after my gym moves out. they guy i spoke to didn't know who's in charge of it but he's going to call me back. fingers crossed. if that doesn't work and i can't stand not doing DLRVJ every workout, i'll suck it up and pay the $146 for sports clubs LA as soon as they have another no-joining-fee deal.

yeah i was alone up there but there were people in most of the trees on the south side of lafayette park. the energy was great but nothing like 2008. that was just on another level, we shut down 16th street for at least a mile north of the white house, and my whole neighborhood, too. people's cars got stuck so they just got out and joined the party. the cops weren't doing anything or messing with anyone, a lot of them were dancing, too. people on top of the bus shelters, people drumming and playing instruments, people crying. it was crazy.
this year people were happy but it wasn't the same kind of euphoria. which makes sense.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings, glutes, calves a bit
ACHES/INJURIES: squat elbows back, esp on right, tweaked right toe badly during jumps
FATIGUE: high
- warm up
- 3-on-3 basketball, 2 games to 21 by 2's and 3's
i'm out of shape, got winded during both games. it was fun, though.
- more warm up stuff
mostly to rest legs post-bball.
- depth jump x 4,1
good height although a bit all over the place. no warm up like a competitive warm up. tweaked toe on first jump of second set and that was it. it's still bothering me.
- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5
- ME pogo 3 x 5
toe said no, did not want to push the issue.
- SS1: squat MSEM 4 x 320
- SS1: jump squat 2 x 3 x 90
- SS1 info: two rounds. squat was strong but elbow problem is back. need to keep working on shoulder IR. toe was okay on JS because of stiff soles/consciously avoiding it.
- stretch
gym was closing in 20 minutes and i wanted to stretch more than i wanted to OHP or do pull ups. kind of a meh work out but i'm pleased with the squats. on the reps where i concentrated extra hard on the amortization they were really good.
nutrition today:
P 219
C 330
F 103
cal 3121
going to ann arbor for a little mini college reunion this weekend so i'll be active but won't get in a formal work out. might play some basketball or squash, might do some mild lifting but probably not. back in the gym for real on monday. i'm actually not that upset about it, it will probably be good for my elbows to get a forced break from squatting while i work on shoulders.

too lazy to read whether this has been asked in this thread already, but links are hard impossible to see. could you differentiate them somehow? i guess you abandoned underlining for aesthetic reasons but maybe there's another way. bolding?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right elbow a tiny bit during squatting, not as bad as before
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- DLRVJ x 8
meh, pretty bad, mostly around 31.5, a couple higher a couple lower.
- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5
- ME pogo 3 x 5
mixed in shoulder internal rotation work between sets of these and the half tucks. lacrosse ball to pec, targeting stretching, 1st rib stuff.
- squat 310 x 3,3,3 | 285 x 8,6 | 275 x 4
i have no wind. legs were fine but i couldn't keep form because i got out of breath.
on the plus side, the 310 sets were the strongest i've felt on squat in a good while. fast and smooth.
- OHP 95 x 8,8
- pull up x 8,8
- some leg raises and glute bridges
- stretch
ETA: nutrition intake yesterday.
P 168
C 208
F 109
cal 3,184
too low on the protein, too high on the fact. also, not enough veggies. but not terribly far off.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: weighted:pullups vs chin ups?
« on: November 06, 2012, 09:45:18 am »
also, this might be brosciency, but the more upright/vertical i can keep my torso during a pull-up, the more lat involvement. leaning back and bringing the hips forward, the way most people do it, engages my arms more. that's true at least by feel.
