it was a bit much. fml. 

back to your regularly scheduled programming.

ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- pull up x 8,8,8
fuck i still suck at these

- bench 77.5 x 8,8,6
prob had 8 on the last set with a spotter but no spotter

- RDL 100 x 10,10
straps

- superset x 2
-- DB flye 4s x 10
-- DB curl 10s x 10
-- tricep pressdown 41 x 12,10

- hyper crunch +10 x 12,10

- stretch

feeling mildly swole. 

Thought on Pelicans acquiring DMC via trade??

curious how they'll make the twin towers thing work, boogie and davis could complement or clog each other. interesting challenge for the coaches in NO.

sacramento isn't getting much but maybe it's as good as they could have gotten for an unhappy star who'd wanted to move for a long time. tbh i haven't followed closely enough this year to know how stacked the draft is, so not sure how much value the kings are likely to get out of that pick.

ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
SORENESS: hamstrings
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- pull up x 8,8,8
frustrated that i'm not getting better at these faster. oh well, keep at it. i think, not for the first time, that i'm just built for pushing rather than pulling.

- bench 77.5 x 8,8,8
wrecked these. there was a kind of jacked bro working in with me doing set of 5 partial reps @80 with ugly/twisted form and i got competitive. he was mirin.

- kroc row 36 x 16L, 18R
back was tweaking a little from the rotation. careful.

- TTB x 10,10
straps

- trap bar DL 150 x 1; 180 x 0
there was a dude repping out 180s and i miscounted the weight, was curious whether i could pull it. 150 went up pretty strong but 180 didn't even break the floor. obviously. that would have been a massive lifetime PR. counting is hard 

- superset x 2
-- DB curl 10s x 10
-- DB shrug 36s x 10
-- tricep pressdown 45 x 10

- stretch

knee still a little sensitive so resting. could have squatted today and been fine.

also i lost my jump rope. damn it.

I reckon you can definitely pull pretty well with those kroc row/trap DL numbers! It just take you time to develop muscular endurance. When I was training with the sprint squad we'd do a fitness circuit 2x/week doing 3xF pullups along with other stuff. I went from your level (7-8/set) to doing 14-16 per set in a couple of month and a max of 23 after a full season; you'll do the same if not better.

eh, maybe, but it's relative. bench and squat just go up faster/easier than DL or pull ups. maybe i just like them more. anyway i kind of like trap bar DL, if my knee is going to keep being annoying i might work it in 1-2x/week.

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good, a little too relaxed

- warm up

- pull up x 8,8,9
guh

- bench 80 x 8,6
see above re: too relaxed

- superset x 2
-- tricep pressdown 50 x 10
-- DB curl 12s x 10
something in my left hand always feels off when doing curls. it's weird and uncomfortable. doesn't bother me during any other movement.

- shrug 40s x 10

- stretch

**drive home**

- squat friend ~60kg x 15
had a lot more in the tank obviously but stopped early because we were on her concrete patio and the ground rushing up at her on the eccentrics freaked her out a little. gonna try again another time, maybe with a bed or couch close by that she could bail onto, would be interesting to see if i could get to 40 with her on my shoulders. on the plus side, knee feels great.

yesterday

- hike x ~4 miles
had to stop because friend's groin, which she strained running months ago now, started acting up when the going got steep. she wanted to keep going but i initialized anti-ego hiking squad.

tonight

- food poisoning-induced trips to the porcelain throne x 6 and counting
fuuuuuck being sick. left work early, thought i could take a nap and wake up and get some work done, but i feel worse now than i did before. hard to stay hydrated.

Good Job

Hope you feel better soon. I hate throwing up and I'm so bad at it too... haha I literally sound like I'm dying. 

Seems like you and your gorgeous lady friend are spending some quality time together... happy for you man.

TMI, but this was a purely ass-based bout of food poisoning. last time i had it i puked an astonishing amount and had diarrhea, so this time wasn't as bad. still, need to get my hands on some gatorade or similar on my way to work later (working from home this morning).

and yeah, QT is good. fuck me, i'm still embarrassed by that post. 

damn 

i've never had food poisoning, and i hope to never get it.

ass based sounds scary.. i'd be worried about the health of my anus "innards". (innards has to be on of the top 5 worst words - re those off topic threads).
