^^ I agree with everything you just said. I forgot to mention the networking. 7 of the 10 courses are taught by professionals in the industry... only 3 are taught by professors.

Anyway, I will hold off on the master's. I'll take it one step at a time. I'll keep saving money while studying for IT certs and applying for IT jobs. then i'll see which direction to head. Maybe go for a CCNA or something.

Great workout. Played basketball beforehand. Was jumping pretty damn high.

- One handed slam off a drop step!
- Two handed slam off a step + gather!

I haven't been able to do that SINCE HIGH SCHOOL!!!!

Woooooo I can't wait to keep increasing my squat and surpass my all time bests. I tried a two handed tomahawk but missed. I'm pretty sure I can get them, but they're harder than it looks. I'm actually kind of bad at timing when to flick my wrist to dunk actually. I don't have much room for error since I don't get THAT high over the rim. So it may take a bunch of tries.

Had a game today. During warm ups i did another step + gather twohander. And i got up pretty high on it, almost like i had a full run up for it.

After the game i ran up for a TWO HANDED TOMAHAWK... AND GOT IT TWICE IN A ROW!!!!

I havent landed one of those in 5 years... I cant believe it. The first one wasnt cocked back so far. The second was was further. Still didnt touch my back but i threw it down with authority. It was convincing. I can definitely do one with the ball touching my back.

Time to start getting dunks on vid :D
And man... Im getting closer and closer to a 40 inch running vert. Squatting 350x3 right now. Cant wait to be at 385x3 heheh.

Missed my last two workouts due to some retarded scheduling with things.

Lifting hard today. Squat bench dead. Hope they didnt drop.

Had to use the shitty squat rack today where the floor is slanted. It basically negated the effects of the heel life on my oly shoes. It was tough to squat there. Didn't feel like griding out a bunch of back up sets far off from my target 3x8 and having that demotivate me so... i cut it short at one back up set of 6. The 355x3 is close to my PR of 365x3 though!

In addition, my bench press is close to my PR of 200 x 10, 10, 8. So good to be entering PR territory again. Incline DB's are at a PR though :)

My deadlift has stalled for a while. They're tough. I'll worry about bringing up the back extensions first though, maybe it'll transfer over soon.

Also down to 193lbs now. Doing strict IF for the rest of this month. Not eating before 7pm on weekdays, no exceptions. It'll help curb my hunger.

re: DLs, have you considered adding more high-rep grip/upper back work? like kroc rows, which matt krocapolish swears correlate directly to his pull.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.
