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.

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

fixed. only VC in 2000 (?) and MJ/Dominique in the late 80's could give that dunk a run for its money in a contest. absolutely stupefying.

BW = 172.8
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee worse, right toe
FATIGUE = total CNS shutdown
- warm up
- DLRVJ x 5-6
barely touching rim, worst in a long time. ~30. combo of whatever's making me lethargic plus worries about knee, even though it doesn't hurt while jumping, equaled some terrible freaking jumps.
- practiced some approaches and submax DSVJ x ~18-20 total
- SMR for left ITB, hamstrings
- bench 2 x 5 x 155, 10 x 155
no spotter, had another 2 reps probably
everything else scrapped, no idea what happened. maybe i'm getting sick?
- SMR and stretch
awful.

one of the oly lifters at my gym just got a pair of those. hard not to get hyped to lift when your feet are bright red. but he's tiny -- probably 5'3 -- so on him they actually just emphasize the smallness of his feet.

meh, you're not wrong.
BW = ???
SORENESS =
ACHES/INJURIES = low back a tiny bit post-training, left knee but only in certain movements/positions
FATIGUE = low
- warm up
- DSVJ x 3
30.5-31, very good
- DLRVJ x 13-15
better than the other day, best in a while. hanging on rim easily. 32.5-33. dropoff was pretty steep, did a few approaches with no jump after that.
- MR half tuck 3 x 30
third set best, right calf got a little tight
- squat MSEM 2 x 3 x 325
strong except first rep of second set
- bench 5 x 145, 3 x 155, 10(11?) x 165
lost count on last set, lol
- DB row 3 x 10 x 75
no 80 lb DBs in gym, will stick with 75 one more workout and then try 85
- ab roll out 3 x 10 x 145
- SMR x 30 minutes
- stretch x 40 minutes
took some extra time at the end to really dig in a few places. felt good. nice workout
EDIT: diet for the last two days:
yesterday
protein 174g
calories 2495
