Nothing deep, sorry to say! btw i've been reading your posts on the geek board, I see you're a fellow hacker too. Good stuff.

cool man.
ya i tried to hack my central nervous system.. escelated privs, got root, but unfortunately there were RBAC policies in place which restricted what i could do with root, so unfortunately i couldn't take full control and run ./t-dub .. perhaps if i had run steroids, i might have been able to run t-dub, but, that would have ruined my 365*(predicted age max) uptime on my selfOS (human server), probably leading to a sooner death, as cancerous_pollups_in_shrunken_testicles.kld would probably emerge.
HTP.
that's kind of how i always viewed training, hacking the CNS.. trying to take advantage of 'hidden CNS resources' that are only available during peroids of extreme stress (violent/possibly life or death situations).
peace man
entropy:
I woke up at 84.1kg which was close to 84kg, my goal for April. It was a tough slog towards the end but I've dialled in nutrition and training.
Training (off day)
2x lap around football field jog
rest
1x lap football field
I wanted to try out my new running shoes but they bothered my ankle so i put them away and used my normal rubber ones which aren't that great but they don't disturb my ankle.
Then practiced ball handling in the parking lot, then shot hoops. Took around 80 shots, hit 50 odd (wait this sounds wrong, i should have shot way more than 80 to make 50 cos i'm not a great shooter.. dunno). Anyway, i am starting to find a groove with my jumpshot, it's almost there just need more practice.
nervous about the game tomorrow, we're playing the top ranked team in the contest, and we are closer to the bottom. would be crazy to win though.
Bodyweight: 84.1kg (May goal 81-81.5kg)

Woke up surprisingly lighter. I expected it would take a few more days but i've lost half a kilo overnight! That's a whole pound. So now I can relax a little bit since i'm ahead of the curve for the week. But not too much because it will be real nice to start next week < 83kg.
I used a pair of accumeasure calipers to take a skinfold reading of my supra this morning and it came out as 12mm, which according to the table below means i have a bodyfat of 14.6%. I don't for a second think my bodyfat is quite that low but now I am a bit more uncertain than before, not that it changes anything, the plan is still get to 80kg and see whats up.
Bodyweight: 83.6kg (May goal 81-81.5kg)
entropy:
Just got back from the game. My team held our own in the first half, i was pretty surprised how well we were playing. But it was a blowout loss in the end. But i'm mostly annoyed with myself. I got plenty of looks, just couldn't score. Driving, I was easily shaking off defenders right and left with quickness only to end up missing easy shots. Then I would pull down my own board over and over, but i missed again and again. Before finally they'd tap it away and i'd be left there scoreless. I'm doubly annoyed with my conditioning, I run up and down with the fastest guys, but in general lapse back into slowly conserving energy cos i'm unfit and can't play a full game at full steam. In the past when I played seriously i was very light (~75kg) and I could run all day, but now i'm not as fit and much heavier.
So need to figure out a way to improve conditioning, that needs to be priority #1 from here. I'm gonna try simulate game conditions when running up and down 40m. I figure if I can do that for 10 minutes straight without a break then i'm fit enough? We'll see. And figure out why my shot deserts me gametime. At practice i've got a nice smooth release and I can hit them but it all goes out of the window during games.
sleep 4/10, diet 3/10 (still cutting hard), freshness 6/10. Next week i'm gonna aim for better sleep and freshness. Ankle is 6/10.
Gonna eat dinner and hit the gym..
Training
Bench Press 3x6 72.5kg
Back Squat 3x6 90 kg
Deadlift 1x5 90kg (Tekniq steroids haven't started working yet .. but i'm getting closer..)
Chinup 3x5 BW=85.6kg
Hanging Leg raises 15, 10 (abz fatigued might stop there)
BB Curl 2x10 35kg
All done! tired, gonna get some sleep now.
LBSS:
during practice, are you practicing shots off of screens, off the dribble, off passes, with someone in your face, etc.? or are you practicing stationary jump shot after stationary jump shot? if the latter, consider doing the former.
i'm a terrible basketball player, but i can hit shots all day in rhythm with no one guarding me.
just a thought.
