BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee but very mild
FATIGUE = low
- warm up
- ME broad jumps x 2
- MR half tuck x 21,20,20
- squat 8 x 230,230,230 || 5 x 245 || 2 x 265,265 || 1 x 280
- bench 5 x 165,165 || 10 x 165
no spotter, had one or two more for sure
- pull up 4 x 5 +15
- decline situp 3 x 10 + 45
- stretch
basketball game going on on the court, so no jumping. gonna work every day this week, per the smolov intro microcycle, then i'll be on vacation for a week. no planned workouts for the trip although i might play some basketball and i'll be doing some hiking. when i get back i'll probably do the intro microcycle again and get into things properly. likely pakistan/afghanistan trip will change my schedule around but there's no point planning for it now because i don't know the timing yet.

i still don't get it. i thought what vag thought, that he'd gone to 85% of parallel depth. seemed kind of odd.
so what was it?
1. 85% of parallel depth
2. 385 was 85% of his one-rep max (in which case, how does he know?)
3. other

also, it looks like i'll be back in pakistan soon, and maybe afghanistan, too. sucks from a training POV but i'm looking forward to it otherwise. will basically plan to jump rope and do a lot of metabolic stuff during those trips. ross enamait-style, probably. i'm out of shape, god knows i could use a good conditioning block.
in related news, i need a new jump rope. anyone have a good speed rope to recommend that:
1. turns smoothly, without snagging;
2. won't break within two weeks of regular use; or
3. is so cheap that i can buy 5 and not care when they break?

BW = 173
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee best in weeks
FATIGUE = low
- warm up
- FUCK CROSSFIT OH MY FUCKING GOD THEY TAKE UP SO MUCH GOD DAMN FUCKING SPACE
- DSVJ x 5-6
near-PR on one of 'em, feeling peachy
- DLRVJ x 5
see above note about crossfit. it's hard to jump when you're weaving through two dozen people doing double unders, badly. every single jump was awful, despite my feeling springy and good.
- depth jump 3 x 5
good
- squat 335 x 1, 350 x 0
my squat routine has not been working, time to try something else.
- bench 2 x 3 x 165, 10 x 165
at least one rep in the tank
- pull up 5 x 173, 3 x 5 x 198
- MB OH slams 3 x 10 x 16
- stretch
weak sauce. squatting was rough after the too-long layoff. squat routine has not been working, as noted about. suggestions welcome, meanwhile i'm going to think about it more tomorrow. also, i have a week off at the end of the month. vacation. maybe i'll do the smolov intro microcycle, with low volume jump squats before the full squats.
plus eat more cows, as kingish says. yes...yes.....

« on: March 12, 2012, 05:23:49 pm »I think Crossfit might be one (if not THE) worst thing to ever happen to barbell/strength training sports.
i'm inclined to disagree, but it can definitely be hilarious and/or infuriating.

fwiw, the dude from like 1:40-2:00 in the second vid is definitely trolling crossift. i've seen that video posted elsewhere.

yesterday:
BW = 173
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee much improved but still a twinge when i pull against resistance or internally rotate thigh with knee bent
FATIGUE = moderate
- tennis x 2 hours
shaking off the rust. had some good rallies and some derp moments. fun and good to get the HR up.
- overhead mobility work x 10-15 minutes
- stretch
