Went in the park, played some ball, filmed a dunk on the small, 2.90m rim (9'6).
Here it is:

Went in the park, played some 3-on-3 at the small rim (2.90 or 9.6) and after that threw down three dunks on it on three attempts. Pretty good.

Great squatting, felt very leg dominated. Also felt the right quad engaged in the movement. But I feel kind of weak right now after coming back home, like I overtrained myself. Found a guy that played hockey, just 22 years old, and spoke about a bunch of stuff.
There is something wrong with me health-wise, every time I do certain movements I feel like there's a "tickling" in my body, in my chest, in my neck, like something is wrong "inside".

Pretty tiring workout. Bench was good in the beginning but after 4 sets I decided to stop and not do the 5th one as I was feeling weird. The stepups were crazy, felt very good and very difficult at the same time.

Pretty tiring workout, although squatting was good. I did one less set in the bench press because I have some back issues that flare up when I do upperbody work - issues that I have no idea what are caused by. It's a long story that I didn't expand on in here - a lot of stuff has happened during these pause years.

« on: November 13, 2023, 04:53:31 pm »Sorry about your sister.
I have to ask though, what's the deal with the 30th of February?
None, I don't know why I wrote February. It happened two weeks ago, 30th October. I think I unconsciously wrote February because in the past I used to joke about "what zodiac sign am I if I'm born on 30th February" and people would think really hard what zodiac sign am I while ignoring that 30th February doesn't even exist.
Really, really weird that I wrote that.
