yeah that's why i think extended planks are silly. you can make it harder in other ways. lift one leg and one arm or put a weight on your back or wear a vest.

my brother got arrested for robbery last night and is in jail. 

dafuq???
How old , what kind of robbery , why would he do that?
Not being indiscreet , don't answer if its personal...

don't know particulars but he was surely stealing whatever it was to buy drugs. my youngest brother is mentally ill and a hardcore drug addict. it's a very sad state of affairs when i'm relieved that he's in jail. deeply sad, too, obviously. but that's a general feeling, not specific to him being in jail.

There is no problem that is too big to be solved.  I know what he is going through.  And he needs to find somethign in life that he is passionate about that will fill the void that he has, and drugs obviously is not the answer.

finding something he's passionate about would help, but he's powerfully mentally ill, so that's not really going to be enough. thanks for the words, though.

nice job on that squat, man. looked clean.

i've posted this guy before. 3" deficit deads with 455.

So you squatted 320lbs x 5 and you weigh 179.5lbs, which brings your standing vertical jump 33 inches.
is this estimate close to your actual jump and your running jump should be about 34-36 inches depending on power dispacement

 

oh man, if only it were that simple. i'm pretty sure my standing vert is still under 30. it'll go up with some practice and hopefully that'll carry over to running jumps. i have a big gap right now between running and standing, like at least 5".

court update: my buddy made a big donation to the church so it's now available monday, wednesday and friday mornings from 6-8. they'll be playing basketball on it but he said i can use it for jumping if the game isn't full-court. this would require some planning.

also, some friends and i are talking about making a donation to the church and setting up an informal lifting coop in the old gym space. that would be so fucking cool.

i dunno, i got paranoid that the bar was somehow less than 45 pounds but i checked with one of the staff and sure enough, the full-length bars are all standard weight. yay.

also, no soreness this morning. 

this debate is boring and has been had over and over again with no resolution whatsoever. no one's cents are worth anything.
