BW = blah blah blah
SORENESS =  glutes
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = none
DIET = solid

warm up
shot around, money inside three but form was breaking down badly outside. as with jumping, i'm much better if no one else is around.
jump rope, mobility

work
circuit x10
--30/30 jump rope
--30/30 KB swing (24kg)

cool down
foam roll
stretch

I turn my whole forearms when I jump rope, seems pretty inefficient. There was a guy there today jumping rope with a rope that was much too short for him, but he was just turning his wrists so he got it around. Ross Enamait's the same way in his videos. Need to work on that.

BW = blah blah blah
SORENESS =  none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate to high, haven't slept well in days and my gf woke up at like 9 this morning, wtf. i tried to sleep more but no dice.
DIET = meh, gonna get better in a minute. didn't eat enough lunch.

s3: power
- RATING (6/10)

- warmup

- 10 yard dashes x 5

-ME jumps (~5-7 x 2)
12 jumps total, better than they've been but no PR's. 1-2 at 31.5, 1-2 at 31, the rest 30-30.5

- ME MR tuck: 5 x 5
i really just suck at these

- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
i don't suck quite as bad at these

- SQUAT 3 x 8
235,235,235 == last set was hard

- OHP: 3x5
130,130,130x2 (fail), 125x1, 115x0 (fail LOL, I was done)

- DB row: 3x8 2x12
60,60

- UNILATERAL: 3 x 8e (BSS) gym was closing, so no

- OPTIONAL: CORE (Y/N?)
N

- STRETCH

Considering my shit diet the last 24 hours (breakfast this morning was good but I was drunk as hell last night and didn't eat lunch, really), I'm actually not too blown about this workout. Try again with 130 next time on OHP and I'm glad my jumps finally stopped sucking so bad. It really makes a difference for me for no one else to be in the gym.

Nah I doubt that. My suspicion is that I was straining it somehow during the squats or the OHPs. Felt totally fine by the next morning.

In other news, I did a deeply stupid thing last night and finished watching season 4 of The Wire, despite the fact that it was 12:15 by the time I started the last episode. So suffice it to say, I didn't get a huge amount of sleep last night. Probably 5.5-6 hours. On the other hand, good god what a show.

Screw you, gutts, if you read this.

Also, I've been doing all basketball shit and haven't picked up a frisbee in months. I think that instead of shooting around I'm gonna start throwing for my warm up. I know more about throwing than shooting or dribbling, anyway. It's hard when there's no space in the gym and no one to throw to, but when I've got the place to myself I should be able to set up a goal or net as a "receiver". When it gets warmer out, I can do the same thing in the park near my gym, or at the field where I do interval sprints. I've left ultimate to the side while I'm trying to get this dunking thing down, but that's no reason to abandon throwing.

EDIT: On a completely unrelated note, I'm pretty sure I've gained some weight (won't know how much until scale arrives) and I think a little bit of size, too: thighs and hips up 0.5", biceps up 0.25", waist up 1" (lol). Of course I'm an amateur self-measurer at best, so other than the waist, which is definitely bigger than it's ever been, those could be BS. Anyway, gaining weight obviously entails a bit of concentrated over-eating and now I'm finding my body in full-on "wtf" mode. In other words, I'm not hungry at 1 PM despite having had only a smoothie for breakfast. Sounds like body is saying, "We had enough calories over the weekend, thank you very much. Now please, lay off for a day."

When thin people think they eat a lot, or their friends think they do (my case), I suspect that what's really happening is that they eat a lot at a time, some of the time, but their body is good at then compensating later by having them eat less. People who are fat have, I suspect, a less high-strung shut-off mechanism.

If I weren't still planning to go to the gym tonight, I would say, "Okay, body, have it your way." As it is, I'm about to go eat some Chipotle. Fuck you, body, I want to be stronger.

BW = 172.7 PR
SORENESS =  none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = high
DIET = good

Was originally planning to do a real workout today but fatigue was high by the end of work. So I just did some good foam rollering, plantar flexor stuff, incline walking and stretching. Now I'm watching Roger Federer be a god damn genius and then I'm going to sleep.

SEAN0013: WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE/RESEARCH ABOUT UNCONSCIOUS APPETITE CONTROL IN LEAN VS. OVERWEIGHT/OBESE INDIVIDUALS?

To make a very long story short, scientists are starting to think that our bodies more or less have a set point for bf% and weight that our bodies really don't vary from that much. One of the things scientists are trying to figure out is why people's weight doesn't vary alot from the post-puberty stages until much later in life. The reasons would seem to be along the lines of what you're saying. People have differential tendencies in the low energy and high energy state. Theres a bunch of different ways to look at that last sentence I suppose but an easy example would be that in a high energy state alot of skinny people tend to be very jittery and move about alot. It's not just as simple as that though - fat people tend to have faulty mechanisms in determining what is a high energy state/low energy state eg leptin gene mutations, etc. To fully account for it you'd have to talk about ecology, psychology, genetics, biochemistry and physiology but to answer your question I'd say - you can manipulate your body weight (obviously) but it's an uphill battle and your body may resist you!
Goals by May 2011

1. Squat 120kg x 8
2. Deadlift 140 kg x 1
3. Jump Hang-snatch 70kg

De-rail? I know no better fuel (for the money) than Chipotle. If they didn't treat their employees so badly, I would probably say Chipotle is around the level of St. John the Baptist or at the VERY least St. Theresa of Avila on a scale from Stalin to Holy.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes. Set point, weight at end of puberty, high NEAT vs. low NEAT, etc. etc. etc.

I'm asking about the bold part. What do we know about why some people know when to stop eating and others don't? Biochemically, environmentally, whatever.
