Warm up
as usual

Work
Squat 3x5x245
Bench 3x5x175
Dead lift 3x320 FAIL: did these as singles and could not get the fourth rep off the floor without form going to shit
Pallof press 2x10/sidex60
Bunch of pullups, rows, inverted rows scattered throughout

Cool down
stretch

These all felt hard, except the second set of bench presses. Time for a deload after pretty much a month straight of linear gains. Starting Monday I'm dropping back down to the weights I started with, then I'll test standing vert before ramping back up the following week.

EDIT: I finally sucked it up and ordered straps, so my DL can keep going up without me having to worry about grip.

Thanks man. I'm hoping for 30" but we'll see. Workout today:

Warm up
abbreviated varsity warm-up
leg swings

Tempo run (1=100yards, 2=200y, +=40s rest, pace 20s/100y)
1+1+1++
1+2+1+1++
2+1+2+1++
1+2+1+1++
1+1+1++

Core circuit x3
pushups x15
crunches x30
side crunches x15 each
supermans x15

Stretch

Tempo run was niiiice and easy, 20s/100y is a leisurely pace even for the likes of me. But it felt great, got the heart rate up and the blood pumping.

EDIT: the total volume for the tempo run was 2200m.

Workout last night:

Foam roll upper legs x20 minutes

Yes, this counts as a workout. At least, it was harder than the rest of my workouts have been this week. It's really interesting to notice the difference between pain and tightness when I roll my right (dominant) leg versus my left (weaker) leg. The right one hurts so much more; I actually can barely roll out the VMO (teardrop muscle). I have to take some weight off it or it hurts too much. But it feels awesome afterwards and if I keep it up the tension should go down a lot.

Also, this morning I woke up and had a strange urge to try a one-armed pushup. Never done one before, but I got it! Right arm only, left was a fail. Still, was kind of a nice surprise.

Workout was a bit weird today. I was drunk as hell last night (my birthday) and then Ohio State ruined my god damn birthday for the sixth year in a row. So I was kind of depressed and low-energy. Forced myself to go to the gym anyway, didn't really do much of a warm-up, and then, well...went off script a bit.

Work
squats 3x5x195
OHP 5x95 (about here is where I said screw this)
jump squat 4x4x95 supersetted with
pull ups 4x5xbw (third set I climbed a 15' rope w/o legs instead)

Core
Russian twist 3x30 (60 touches), 30" rest

Cool down
Stretch

Yeah but I fucking WENT to Michigan, so I still have to watch the games. Painful. Just painful. And my NFL team is the Skins, so basically this year sucks.

Huh?

Ohio State ruined my god damn birthday for the sixth year in a row.

I freaking hate Ohio State. They have won six straight games against Michigan, always within 2 days of my birthday. What makes you think I'm a fan?!?!?!? I went to Michigan because I wanted to get the hell out of Maryland for a while (lived my whole life there). Plus it's a great school and everything. Good choice, I loved it there, even with the cold.

And yeah, the UM-Ohio State rivalry is just awesome. People go nuts for a whole week beforehand and then it pretty much dictates the mood on campus for weeks afterward. Although I have to say, the best rivalry in American sports is UNC-Duke basketball. My mom went to Duke and my dad went to UNC, so I got in on that one as a baby and nothing else gets me fired up like my Blue Devils whupping on the Heels (yeah, yeah, mama's boy, whatever ;D). And nothing crushes me like Carolina winning. In other words, it's been a really, really bad year for me as a sports fan.

  • Duke getting blown out in the NCAA tourney
  • UNC winning the title
  • Michigan losing to OSU for the sixth year in a row
  • Michigan missing out on a bowl for the second year in a row for the first time since like 1963
  • Redskins sucking ass
  • Dan Snyder still the owner of the Skins
  • Wizards one of the worst teams in the NBA in 08-09
  • Wizards still mediocre despite getting semi-healthy again
  • At least we have the Caps, but then again, Pittsburgh won the title last year so F that

I think I should take up stamp collecting or something.

Tried to test vert today but forgot shorts at home. Gave it a shot anyway but I wasn't focused at all. Warmed up, took the recommendation of a paper I read recently and did two sets of five CMJ's with 7.5# dbs in each hand, ample rest. Then I stepped on the mat and my best effort was...28.5". Weak. A PR, but still I feel like I should/could be jumping so much higher. I just peaced out after that and will try again tomorrow with a proper workout afterward.

Any tips on warming up for the jump attempts? I know the iso stim thing works but my gym doesn't have one of those machines. A regular GHR might work, though.
