BW = idk
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = none
DIET = fine, more veggies than usual because half the people made salad for the staff meeting/pot luck at work today
Gym was a complete waste. I was at work til 8:20 so didn't get to the gym until 9, then realized that the worthless, snivelling old fucks were having their weekly game so I couldn't use the court. I am terrible at improvising in the gym, once thrown from my planned workout I'm lost. So I did some SMR, shot the shit with a guy I'm gonna take snatch lessons from sometime soon, who has all the SMR toys imaginable. Then once the fucks stopped playing, I did some sprinter's warm ups and did 5 sprints. They felt great, light and fast. Then I tried one jump and slipped, got pissed and at that point it was 9:45, the gym was closing in 15 minutes and I called it a night.

You left handed? One of the owners of my gym was a pro rugby player who retired and then came to the US, where he promptly made the US National Team (shows you how good we are at rugby...we get other people's retirees...). Point is, he can still one-handed snatch 135 so easily, it's ridiculous. Such a badass move. Nice work.

^^^ What he said. Why would you spend so much money when there's a much, much cheaper option?
EDIT: I had forgotten the heavy metals discussion from last summer but went back and looked... I don't remember why I singled those two out but I assume it's because when I looked around they had the highest heavy metal content. Or something like that. But again, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If that's what's standing between you and Muscle Milk, go ahead and flush that money right down the toilet.

« on: January 06, 2011, 09:24:34 am »foam roll
40/30/20/10 squat/crunch/push up(/2) ladder -- short and easy, just to get blood flowing a little bit
stretch
where's the ADARQ (TM) format wtf?????
Wasn't planning to use it for random SMR/stretching/cardio days, but maybe I should...
Why are you squatting so light lately? An injury i missed or getting back from xmas off?
Checked fast a few pages back but didn't find anything...
Injured hip mildly after I got my new squatting shoes, so I rested a bit, backed way off and went back to higher reps to try to get the tissues conditioned properly before I get back into heavier stuff.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Age vs Vertical
« on: January 05, 2011, 09:48:06 am »Vag you are my favorite journaler on here (other than myself, of course). Because everyone else seems to be competing toward something, I want to race you to 36". We can both do it this year, for sure. So let's do it.
Thanks man , i appreciate it a lot.
Must be a bond from the adarq.org retro days , when the only consistent active journalers were you , me , adarq and nba8340.
I am not into races but that sounds fun , i'm 1-2'' ahead but also 10-something years older.
Im on anyway , hope we don't both fail to get there , LOL!!!
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking. You got a head start (more like 2-2.5") but I got young (ish) legs.
I can't believe how many journals are on here now...

BW = idk
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = not terrible but i didn't get enough sleep last night either, more like not very focused
DIET = should have eaten something in the afternoon, otherwise good
s2: power
- RATING (6/10)
not enough sleep, bad food timing
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes x 5
-ME jumps (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins
slipped on the first one. tried to move to the other hoop but wasn't having it. fucking bitches need to clean that floor more often. substituted:
-depth jumps 3x5
-depth drops 4x3
- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5
was feeling sluggish so skipped. i'm so retarded. i know the solution but i don't do it.
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
same
- JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 (30%)
60,60
- SQUAT 3x8x175
felt fantastic, oddly
- S1: dips @ 3 x AF
+8 x15,15,10 -- one more than last time, it's okay
- S1: pullups @ 3 x AF
8,8,6
- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?)
N
- STRETCH
