Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: no bounce, need bounce

« on: August 17, 2010, 09:13:40 am »

Thanks adarq. On reflecting this morning, I think I was probably a bit too hard on myself. Work was stressful yesterday and I was there late and I should have been more patient with stuff. All I really had yesterday were trap bar and bench. So I should have stuck with that and saved the other stuff for Wednesday. Hip is just tweaked: still feeling it this morning but it was loosening up and feeling better with each step on the walk to work. So that's good.

And hey, 370 is pretty nice considering I was a full-on gimp two months ago.

Testing today after work:

The good:

trap bar DL 370

The bad:

everything else. Among other things:

bench 235 -- fuck that noise that is pathetic
fucked my hip up doing sprints and it wasn't even over a measured distance, just one I can go back to later (marked on sidewalk)
couldn't jump cause no mat and forgot camera

In other words, other than the DL, which was okay, EPIC MOTHERFUCKING FAIL.

How's that for depressing, zgin? I fucking suck.

Soreness in quads (I think from foam rolling), hamstrings and shins/ankles/feet (I think from practice).

You're lighter AND leaner after a vacation? Isn't it usually supposed to be the other way around for old farts like yourself?

Nah , on the contrary , think about it , in vacations being younger you consume much more junk food and alcohol...

Yeah but you can get away with eating anything when you're 18 haha. When I was 17 and 18 I ate like a gallon of jello a week, sometimes with soft serve ice cream on top. Did not gain a pound that year.

Haha i was referring to "younger" as mid 20's
Now besides joking , nutrients partitioning does change a lot , but you can still control things pretty well at my age. Takes much more effort for the same ( or actually a little worse ) results, but standard things/rules still work.

I know, I know. I was just messing with you.

I think he might just be doing that thing that Chinese oly lifters do when they're repping out squats, you know, where they nod their head a little bit. The first guy in the video from a few posts ago does it at the bottom of his reps and Frank Yang does it, too, haha.

Squatting like that would kill my wrists.

Yeah, why do you have your wrists folded like that and not rolled up to be straight with your forearms? Seems like you're putting way too much pressure on them, holding them under the bar like that.
