only way i'm getting that many plates on the bar is if their made of foam. anyway dead lift to 40y dash calculator sounds awesome. this is how i'm going to make my millions.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings quite a bit, traps a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: dragging a little, hamstring soreness meant i knew i wasn't going to be at my best and that makes it hard to get up

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds x 4

- broad jump x 4
not bad at all, which surprised me. not PR-level but not far off.

- DL bound x 4,2,4
meh, these were worse. second set got interrupted by a soccer ball coming straight at me. fucking soccer. in my dream world i have a full olympic oval and football field all to myself, with an enclosed, wood-floor basketball court with an adjustable rim right next to it and a full weight lifting set on the side (barbell, bumper plates, squat rack, bench). time to get travolta money and see what i can do.

- various SVJ, DSVJ, SLRVJ, SLRVJ, and avishek hop VJ
as ever on shitty jumping days, these all made my knees ache. 4-6 reps of each per leg.

- 40y dash
skipped, knees unhappy and didn't want to push hamstrings with ME sprinting.

- tempo run 80+ x 8
the straight on the track is not a full 100m. my guess is it's about 80m.

- stretch

- heel walks x 50

- stretch

pretty pleased with this workout considering how crappy my legs felt going in. forcing myself to do tempo rather than ME 40s was smart. there's a reason you're supposed to do speed stuff before gym stuff but jesus would not allow it, in His infinite wisdom he caused a thunderstorm to rain down yesterday. so it goes.

WEIGHT: 178
SORENESS: quads, hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: quads, anterior lower leg
MENTAL STATE: okay, not great or bad

- warm up

- SVJ x 10

- one-step SLRVJ x 6

- paused squat 285 x 1; 255 x 5,5
legs felt terrible on the single so i dropped weight. will go back to 285 next workout.

- circuit x 4
-- pull up x 8,8,7,6
-- assisted GHR x 8
-- dip x 8,8,7,6

- circuit x 2
-- calf raise 415 x 10
-- heel walk x 30
-- stretch calves

not enough sleep and too much stress this week at work. a bunch of friends are leaving town and had "last nights" this week so i was up too late several nights. and it's just been 100 mph at work so getting up early, getting up before my alarm, that kind of shit. couldn't even sleep in today because i have to go to the eastern shore for a funeral. better luck next week.

^^^ thanks man. it ended up being really nice, actually. beautiful service -- my great-uncle was an awesome and well-loved dude -- and it was great to have such a huge gathering of all my cousins and second cousins on that side of the family. sad occasion, of course, but still.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: posterior knees
MENTAL STATE: angry, grateful for the beautiful evening on which to work out

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds 10y x 3

- broad jump x 4
near-PR, at least 37'

- DL bound x 4,4,4
not quite as far as the broad jumps, maybe 10-12" off.

- sprint 40y x 4
self-hand timing, but for the record: 5.2, 5.4, 5.3, 5.1

- 1-2 jump 40y x 3

- tempo run straight-curve x 3
tough, liked these. could have shortened the rest periods but otherwise these were great. not sure of the track's dimensions so don't know distance, but the sprints were 26-28s. challenging.

- stretch

had a rather shitty day at work. now i feel better.

please take vid, i bet they will be hilarious-looking.

WEIGHT: 175
SORENESS: triceps
ACHES/INJURIES: lot of quad tightness
MENTAL STATE: calm, focused

- warm up

- superset x 2
-- jump squat 20 x 3
-- SVJ x 4
SVJs were pretty bad, 24.5-25, except one solidly at 26 when i got the arm swing right

- paused squat 285 x 5,4
could have gotten five on second set but would have been grindy. lame. felt the quad tightness on these.

- GHR x 5,5,5
focusing on form per alex v video. will post vid in a bit

- circuit x 3
-- pull up x 8
-- paused calf raise 415 x 10
-- DB OHP 100 x 6

- windshield wipers x 4,4,3
i tried these the other day and they were fun. not sure why but i was swinging forward and back today and that made it harder.

- stretch

Ha that's awesome. Must be strange/cool to meet someone from the forum IRL.

well, it is weird to be talking out loud about people named "raptor" and "t0ddday."

btw, t0ddday, is it "tahday" or "today"?

Lol.  Yeah awesome that you guys got to work out.  Avishek at 4.7 and you close to 5.0 is not bad at all.  Great to see your bounding improving, the "measurability" of the workout is one of things that makes it so great...

My name is Tade.  Pronounced like this "Tah-Day".  When I first started running I was pretty quiet and didn't speak up much so for like two months some of the guys thought my full name was Todd Day.  It became a running joke that people just thought I always rolled with first and last name so I adopted it as my nickname.  Since youtube switched over to real names this forum is probably the only place it still exists.
