damn, you have freakishly long arms.

Good dedication man.
Heat and humidity just kills me, which is unfortunate since I'm in Singapore.

Hope u can come back soon and get back into the shape of things.

thanks man. hard to stay dedicated out here and i'm ashamed to say that i haven't been as consistent as i should over the past few days. i'll be back in the states on june 30 and back in the gym on july 1, so from there on out i'll hopefully be moving on up.

Meanwhile why dun u work on ur sprinting? I mean from tt one old vid u post I felt u could do with some speed/explosiveness!

you're right about my speed/explosiveness, although i was making a little bit of progress on that before i left. sprinting and jumping are out, though because i'm staying in a guest house surrounded by a high wall topped with concertina wire and i can't exactly go to the park or anything. there's no space. there actually is a park here, but i'm not allowed to go to it. security is a lot worse here than kabul.

i'm out in the sticks now, in a provincial capital called pul-i-khumri. when i'm back in kabul i'll at least have higher ceilings to work with and can do some drop steps and stuff. and once i get to islamabad i'll have an actual gym to work with.

Have you guys heard of the biosignature popularized by Charles Poliquin?  It takes various sites of body fat and based on the differences it tells you which hormones in your body (testosterone, estrogen, insulin, cortisol, etc.) are high or low. Via changes in training and diet/supplementation the hormonal profile changes and then so does the likelihood of storing fat differently. I have no experience with this myself but many people do.

I have always been the type to store fat in my pecs and love handles and thighs. Supposedly this means my estrogen, and insulin (carb tolerance) is high. It makes sense to me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

you have virtually no control over the way your body distributes fat.

Derails? Boy they have some old trains out there don't they?

i've never even seen a hint of a train track out here or heard anyone talk about trains. same thing with pakistan, which is funny because india is all about trains.

heading to afghanistan and pakistan today. back in three weeks. knock on some wood for me. will keep updating log as possible and will be working out as much as possible. probably little to no strength work so i'll focus on low-level plyos and conditioning.

peace.

Fuck those afghanistan and pakistan derails!!!
Work is work though , keep at it as much as you can and stay safe!
*knocks wood*

thanks vag. it is frustrating, especially this trip because it's so long. but hey, it's not like progress was soaring before. maybe a few weeks of pogos, drop steps, conditioning and soft tissue work will do me good.

ac-cen-tu-ate the positive...

this series is so awesome. go mavs but oh my god i just want two more games of basketball played this hard and this well before the great desert of summer, when baseball is the only sport happening.

^ yes.. but front squats get my collar bone dirty. prefer to have the black squat mark on my back. 

lol. just wear black, pansy.
