BW = 170.8  >:(
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = neck extremely stiff all day but loosened up a little during workout, left knee, right wrist during bench warm ups but not work sets, left VMO a tiny bit
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- SVJ x 10-12
atrocious. some of the jumps were just ugly, knees and feet all over the place. jesus christ. used padding on side of backboard and actually found gym's tape measure. highest mark put jump at ~25.5.

- DLRVJ x 6-7
submax/relaxed, still awful. coming back from vacation is a bitch

- depth jump 3 x 5
first two sets actually okay, used a really low box (~12)

- squat 3 x 8 x 230 || 5 x 245 || 2 x 2 x 260 || 1 x 280
not bad, actually. at least this is still light weight

- bench 2 x 5 x 165 || 13 x 165

- pull up 2 x 5 + bw || 11 + bw

- ab pull down 3 x 10 x medium band

- stretch

time to EAT

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low to moderate on saturday, very high on sunday

went out to a cabin  on the shenandoah with a big group of friends for my roommate's birthday. drugs were taken and/or smoked, large quantities of alcohol were drunk, excellent food was cooked and eaten. the weather was absolutely perfect and the location was unreal -- we had 15 acres of riverfront property to ourselves. and i was never more than mildly hungover thanks to massive water consumption.

 :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:

friday:

- BSS 3 x 8
using lunges to stretch thighs

saturday:

- touch football x 60-75 minutes
made best two defensive plays of my touch football career. clutch.

- BSS 1 x 8

sunday:

- tennis x 45 minutes

- BSS 1 x 8

today is more rest, per smolov, then back in the gym tomorrow.

also, listen to this song: http://www.lowerfrequencies.com/2012/04/jai-paul-jasmin/.

BW = 173
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- MR half tuck 2 x 20
second set higher-effort

- squat 2 x 2 x 300

- hanging leg raise 3 x 10

- stretch

worked out before work this morning because i didn't have to start until 10, and i have an obligation tonight that i'd forgotten about. as such, kept things short and sweet. squats were very fast, bar popped easily off my shoulders at the top of each rep. will do some jumping and my upper-body stuff tomorrow, then back to normal schedule on thursday.

time to try that turmeric root?
"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

yes, thanks for reminding me. while i'm at it i'll pick up some rhus toxicodendron and make an appointment to get my subluxations checked out. oh, and to see what the tarot cards hold for my future. wouldn't want anything unexpected coming down the pike.

BW = 172
SORENESS = a little in legs but barely noticeable
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up
included hip dips.

- tried a few jumps, had a couple of good DSVJ but on second or third DLRVJ i slipped. tried some more but it was ugly. CNS done with that.

- bench 5,5,7 x 185
should have had 8th rep but it was very grindy and spotter gave early assistance. doesn't count.

- pull up 5,5,9 + 10

- SS1: OHP 10 x 55
- SS1: BOR 10 x 55
- SS1 info: 2 rounds
i've been meaning to do some overhead pushing and horizontal pulling. will throw a couple of light sets in at least once a week.

- L-sit x 10s,20s,20s
i'm a pussy, could have done more on all sets.

- stretch

pleased overall. if only i could say that after a jump workout...

last night:

BW = 172
SORENESS = very mild all over
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- DLRVJ
best since vacation. still not very high, 31.5-32, but so much smoother and less clumsy than what i've done over the last three weeks. reasonably pleased.

- line hops 4 x 20
all 8.9x

- squat 5 x 7 x 265
easy

- L-sit x F (40,20,30)
during first set a girl was like, "damn, luke, i didn't know you could hold an L-sit like that!"  :highfive:

- stretch

good workout. also, VERY IMPORTANT NEWS. i seem to have found a couple of gyms in islamabad with proper lifting equipment. if i can get even three real squat workouts in during the ~1.5 weeks i'm over there, i'll be overjoyed.

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :strong: :strong: :strong: :strong: :strong: :strong: :strong: :strong:

L from LBSS decoded.  :P
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?
