What pin do you set the bar on when you squat?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Latest Kelly Baggett's article including VJB 2.0 announcement!!!

JCsBck, two things.
First: The fundamental principles, sure, but Kelly does keep coming up with new and ever-clearer ways of describing those principles and finding nuance in them. But yeah, you're right, haha.
Second: Can you change your user title to "Adarq.org's Resident Guido"? For some reason that's so much funnier. To me, at least. Or maybe I'm just weird.

hah nice man.. good stuff on the jumps & getting props for being a chris johnson.
keep this going, don't do anything too far beyond threshold and get a set back, just a reminder :F
Yeah thanks for the reminder. I did manage to stop myself as soon as I felt the sprints getting a little slower and the jumps a little lower and even that felt good. Like, Yeah, I have self-control! Low volume is okay if quality is good and there's no point in beating yourself up for not doing more, if you've done what you can.

My mood right now:
warm up
jog a lap
STW core stretches, fast tempo
sprinter's warm ups
work
superset until dropoff (ended up being 4 sets)
--20y sprint x3
--DLRVJ x5
plank circuit x3x90s
cool down
jog 2 laps
STW core stretches, slow tempo
ab and calf stretches
No soreness going in. Was getting up okay on a few of the jumps. I was jumping to a crossbar on a HS football field (sneakers on grass). If it was regulation, then I definitely had a couple 31" jumps, maybe even a bit more. But I don't know, so suffice it to say I was jumping okay. Sprints felt fine, I guess, although I don't have too much to compare them to. I forgot that I lost my stopwatch. Will need to be replacing that. Also, I can't sprint in Nike Frees anymore. Toes too fucked up. Need stiffer soles or shoes I can fit my orthotics in. Some club rugby team was practicing on the field (they pay for the lights to be on after dark, hurray) and a guy came over to me at one point and asked if I was interested in playing rugby, that they can always use speedy athletic guys. So I guess I looked fast, anyway
. Anyway, energy is high right now in case the word vomit didn't clue you in. This felt nice.

Why will reaching 145 lbs allow you to eat massive amounts without gaining weight?

I can't "bulk" because I have really hard time adding fat. According to my friend he was the same until after high school, then his weight fluctuated a lot.

once im 145 or so i'd be able to eat massive amounts of food without gaining any weight, that's how it was growing up (16-24) or so, before i went through crazy bulk (lower activity, insane amounts of peanutbutter/bread/milk etc).
peace

Fartleks are so fun. Should get back into doing those, it's basically the least-boring way to do cardio ever, especially if you have a partner.

10y sprint x5, uphill
DSVJ RL x15 or so -- my dominant plant is LR, so I figured I'd get some practice going the other way
ice skater x2x5 -- balance was off

Soreness definitely played a role in all the work today. This will all feel better once I've gotten into a groove.

Ran ~2 miles, very easy pace, just to get blood circulating a bit. Stretched a bit.
Sore.

Bizarrely, I could not get to sleep last night until like 5:30. Woke up at 7:30 (normal time) and emailed my boss to say I'd be late to work, then slept until 10. WTF.
