But, bro, don't you know? All the top MMA guys use the ropes. THEY ARE SO HARDCORE!

No, same problem I've been having for months with the left toe. My avatar is an x-ray of my left foot, showing the bone spur and malformed metacarpophalangeal joints. (Fun word, isn't it?) Problem is, now the pain has spread to the right big toe, and for whatever reason -- I haven't adapted or figured out how to compensate yet, maybe -- the right one hurts a lot more. They feel normal most of the time, but anything where my toes have to be in serious extension is hard. Sprinting, for example. I cut off the sprints because the starts hurt too much.

Larger photo is somewhere back in the recesses of this journal. Let me see if I can find it.

Maybe you're doing it wrong, then? Or if not "wrong" then at least there's another way that you're not seeing? IDK, I feel like, barring some actual physical problem, you should be able to stretch everything without pain.

Hey Jack,

yeah, I can definitely see your point there! But I tend to think that there is no need to treat every individual differently training wise a lot of the time. Templates that were successful with one person, will likely be successful for another person of the same training status, who has the same goals. This is especially true for beginners, who are most likely to buy this program anyway, and becomes less valid with progressing training age.

Good point. Most people are not extra special flowers who need extra special training. They need to get good at the fundamentals, just like everyone else.* There are all kinds of ways of getting there, but they're really just variations on a theme: get stronger, get faster, get fitter. The rest is details.

*EDIT: Myself included.

The internet, she has returned. That was weird.

big brother is watching u.

God damn, I knew it!

How many inches do you think you give up on DLRVJ on concrete vs. wood?

Having internet issues at home. Annoying. Anyway, yesterday:

warm up
jump rope/double unders
STW core stretches

work
5 yd sprint x a few
DLRVJ x a few
tuck jumps x10
ice skaters x10

squat 3x5x245
DL 5x295
bench 2x5x195, 4x195 (no spotter and lost focus, should have had last rep)
BOR 3x8x145
circuit x3
--BSS x12x95
--pull up x5
--dip x10

cool down
stretch

Felt good, squat was much better than last weekend. Gym is better on Sunday because there's basketball all day on Saturdays, but didn't have a choice because I had to go up to Pennsylvania today to see my brother.
