Thanks! Nice to make some progress after a few shitty workouts in a row. The key: sleep. It's a "duh" point but even when I don't feel tired, I'm usually underslept. There is a wide gulf between low fatigue and no fatigue.

Also, as adarq, pointed out in the PR thread, someone talking to me about my jumping and giving me some cue or other usually means I PR or close to it on the next jump. No idea why that would be. But I AM getting better at concentrating and jumping with other people around, as long as they're not also using the basket.

On the down side, I found out I'm going back to Afghanistan and Pakistan for a few weeks starting around mid-June. Should be cool trips but I'm not happy about three more weeks without normal gym facilities. Oh well, will try to make the best of it. In Pakistan I'll at least have access to the nice gym. Not sure about Afghanistan. Might try to finagle some nights at the nice hotel in Kabul, which has an okay gym. At the very least the ceilings are high enough there to make ME jumps/depth jumps a possibility. The fancy hotels are lonely as shit, though. Much prefer guest houses.

Just means I have to squeeze as much as possible out of the next month.

wanted to do tempo run but by the time i left my house it was starting to rain and looked bad, so bailed on that plan. instead messed around at gym for 30-35 minutes. shot around, jumped rope, rode exercise bike, a few chin ups and dips. just to get moving, get HR up and break a sweat. then stretched.

friday:

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low-moderate

- warm up

- sprints
6 x 10y

- DLRVJ
bad but not horrible, then slipped

- MR DL bounds
one set of ten, then some dudes were gonna play knockout and that sounded like fun. and it was. but then i was gassed -- only four of us, pretty intense games, and i'm in laughably bad shape.

- REA squat 4 x 3
135,135,135,135

then started with MSEM squats at 265, light weight, but my legs just didn't want to bend. i don't know, whatever, it was worth it to play knockout. fun game. said fuck it, walked home and stretched.

saturday

- volleyball x 45 mins

- catch x 20 mins

beautiful day, worked up a sweat, felt great.

280,280,280 == strong

FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- MSEM squat 1 x 4
295

had a work thing that went really late so didn't get to the gym until, well, really late. that's all i had time/motivation for. i also found out on my way to work out my brother relapsed last weekend, so, yeah. that kind of killed whatever energy i had. the 295 was incredibly easy, fwiw. bouncing off my back.

Was in San Francisco visiting friends from Thursday-Tuesday. Absolutely amazing. Didn't work out but did get in plenty of catch, hiking and stretching and mostly just relaxing and being around people that I miss a lot and wish I could see more often, but they live 3,000 miles away.

Got back late last night and DC is now basically the Amazon but with less biodiversity. Didn't sleep well and hadn't worked out in days so was planning to just get in the gym, warm up, sprint a bit, jump a bit, do some random other shit, stretch and call it a day. Mission accomplished, plus a pleasant surprise.

BW = 170.2 and lean as fuck, you jokers who said I didn't have abs in those pics a while back should see me now. I got abzzzz, kids.

SORENESS = none

- pull ups and chin ups x some

- push ups and chest-tap push ups x some

- KB swings 3 x 8 x one of the big ones
