WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: neck still stiff but not as bad, not too painful
MENTAL STATE: fantastic for some reason

- warm up

- MB OH toss x 3,3
much power, hit ceiling very hard. prob hardest throws i've done.

- SL jumps x 5,5/leg

- squat 315 x 3,3,3
felt so strong, these were easy. could probably have done 3x5, which would tie all-time PR, but that's not the point. last reps explosive on each set.

- TTB x 8,8

- stretch

whoa. not sure i would have jumped high today but i felt strong as fuck. haven't gotten enough sleep the last two nights, either. weird.

Based on your strength and mental state I think you would've jumped very well today.

had my physical this morning. verdict: i have really low vitamin D, slightly elevated protein, slightly elevated blood pressure, and herpes, and otherwise am in perfect health. got a script for the vitamin D -- apparently the OTC stuff is not activated so you still need sun exposure to make it work. duly noted. the Rx stuff is already activated and you just take one pill (50,000 IU) a week. also got a script for the HSV that i'm to take only if i ever start to develop symptoms.

also i had to speak on a panel tonight about northern pakistan. got my visa this week. leaving the country soon now. matter of weeks. wow.

nice about the vitamin D.

Quote

One study, published in February 2009 in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, concludes that adolescents with higher levels of vitamin D can jump higher, quicker, and with greater power than those with lower vitamin D levels.

lool.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: neck still stiff but not painful
MENTAL STATE: blah, under the weather

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x ~8
again super inconsistent. one or two really good jumps and one or two abortive attempts. head out of it, called it a day. better luck tomorrow inshallah.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: really good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x ~15
really good, bunch of easy dunks with the dodgeball. didn't quite hit 37 but was close a couple times. noticed that on my best jumps with the ball i was taking off from a little farther away from the rim. not intentionally. not sure if that's because of shorter plant step or because starting farther away. interesting.

- SLRVJ x a couple

- SL SVJ x 5/leg

cut it short because i have to go visit my grandma. still, reasonably happy with this. i felt shitty/thick when i woke up, had my coffee and a banana and debated going at all for a while. but eventually i started to feel better and by the time i got to the gym i felt light and happy to be there.

some days, you just have to make yourself show up and see what happens.

ETA: later

- tennis x 30 mins
something tweaking a little in my back. okay.

ya.. it's almost better to get a warmup in and THEN evaluate.. it's surprising sometimes how crap we feel before starting a session and then boom, tons of power/everything clicking.. but going into it we think there's no way we'll perform good. Was talking about that in vag's journal the other day. That happened to me bigtime several nights ago; felt like such crap going into my evening session and then my very first warmup run I was flying ... brain immediately shifted from negative to positive.

last night:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: stuff, nothing bad
MENTAL STATE: blah

- warm up
felt wack so i went off script a bit. did C2 500m in 1:41 at resistance setting 3. that would be in the top 90 times recorded on the C2 website for the USA in 2016. lol.

- some random crap, easy jumps, glute activation

have felt under the weather off and on and body has been achier than usual this week. going to NYC on saturday so i might just take it easy the rest of the week.

LBSS · « **Reply #3880 on:** September 29, 2016, 11:04:51 pm »

to clarify, i wasn't trying especially hard on the C2 last night.

did nothing but a bit of stretching and mobility stuff today.

Leonel · « **Reply #3881 on:** September 30, 2016, 04:08:20 am »

I hate rowing on such a low resistance setting. Feels really awkward. Haha

i watched a video earlier this year -- on deadspin, maybe? -- of a couple of US olympic rowers showing a normal person how to do it, and IIRC they said they use the lower settings, 3-4, most of the time.
