last night. i guess work stress and lack of sleep builds up. i slept well the night before last so i guess monday was still catching up with me.

EDIT: also, haha flander. that guy probably isn't even THAT obese for parts of this country, though. like he's probably not the fattest person he knows.

truly shitty, got a couple that weren't quite as bad toward the end but oh my goodness. :uhhhfacepalm:

- pogos submax 3 x 20

- squat 2 x 2 x 270
some of the warm ups i did as jump squats. main sets felt surprisingly weak.

- OHP 3 x 5 x 95
extremely easy

full pause at the top

When you log jumps as shity , what do you mean? absolutely or relatively? And what are your thresholds?
I judge mine relatively and consider them shity when they are 1'' or more below what i expected from that session.
e.g. yesterday i was getting 30-31 , which is awful as absolute number , but relatively ( considering injuries , fatigue , stim etc ) it was good , was expecting 29-30.
Curious how you rate/evaluate yours...
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

good question. i pretty much mean that they were lower than what i expect should be my minimum at this point, which is 30.5-31 -- basically i feel like i should always be able to touch rim easily. when jumps are below that level i'm disappointed. when they're that level or above, i feel okay about them. i got there a few times last night but at least a few of the jumps were in the 29" range. midway through the session i realized i was having nice smooth slow starts that never got fast (lol). had a few slightly-less-shitty jumps after that, ~30".

usually it also means that the jumps just "felt" slow or unexplosive or both.

BW = 166.0 FFFFFUUU but the eyeball test is getting a little better. more abs. gotta keep protein up and cals, too, esp on workout days.
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- yoga x 75 minutes
went with my gf. felt great, sweated a bunch, opened up hips and chest a bunch. it had been probably a year and a half or maybe even two years since i did a yoga class.

walked to the gym, then

- warm up

- depth drop 2 x 5

- depth jump x 3,5,5
mostly pretty low

- squat 5 x 270
good not great, need to focus on eccentric a little better.

- OHP 3 x 5 x 105

- BOR 3 x 5 x 105

such a beautiful day. smolov starts for real on tuesday. will probably get some kind of light exercise tomorrow and maybe some jumping if i feel like it. and then, the pain. i can't wait.

BW = 166.0
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = spot of tightness in right quad during sprints but it went away; also hip flexors
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprints
2 @ 60%
2 @ 95%

- DSVJ submax x 5-7

- DLRVJ x ~15
started off bad but got better, ended up jumping pretty well. didn't get that high, mostly 31 range, but felt smooth and reactive in a way i hadn't in a while. CNS was definitely higher than it'd been.

- squat 4 x 9 x 225
easy-peasy, 4-minute rests.

- SS1: chin up x 10,8,7
- SS1: dip x 10,8,7 + 23
- SS1 info: active shoulder but full extension, chest-to-bar on all chin up reps (as i always do them). not even close to 10,10,10. matched dip reps to chin up reps, even though i could have done more. would rather keep them in sync because i think that's nice. fuck you. better luck next time.

- stretch

also, about chin ups, i've started to adjust to keeping the backs of my legs tight so that my bodyweight doesn't shift under the bar. still feels a little weird but i'm able to get a lot better back/arm ratio in terms of effort.

- squat 7 x 5 x 255

- more handstand practice, getting a little better

- stretch

Was a little nervous about the volume and the lack of rest from yesterday, so I kind of bitched out on jumping. In retrospect, wouldn't have been a problem. I squat better if I set up and stand up properly out of the rack. There was a fantastic basketball game going on for the first half of the workout. White team down 20, came back to win on a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds on the clock. Red team had a dude who threw down a legit tomahawk on a breakaway at one point. Really, really nasty hops, guy was probably 6-5, 6-6 or so but threw down very hard, head near rim. Cool to watch. But they choked like bitches, lol.

Week one of Smolov base mesocycle complete.

You write set x reps right?

Is it a new goal to be able to handstand? How long can you hold it?

EDIT: yeah, set x reps. so 10 x 3 is 10 sets of 3 reps.

handstand is a goal, but tertiary at most. just something to work on when i don't feel like doing normal upper body work, or maybe on off days. i can't hold one for more than a second or two at best without the wall, so far. haven't bothered to time a hold against the wall but i'm sure it would be laughable. i'll get there. i always liked gymnastic stuff. would love to be able to do a flag and a planche and all that but i figure it's probably best to learn how to crawl before i try to walk. on my hands.
