because you're tracking mosquito bites now, i'll cross-post from fb this limerick i composed in my head while sitting on the can the other day:

my mosquitos, they constantly breed
and to feed them, i must bleed and bleed.
i kill lots in the shower
but they keep all the power
'cause they fuck just like rabbits on speed.

Did a fairly quick circuit today along with some stretching.

SL DL-
16 x 8, 8, 8,

Incline Bench (close grip, elbows in, fat gripz)- 
bar x 6, 30 x 6, 40 x 6

KB Row-
16 x 10, 10, 10

Had planned on doing more but didn't. Knee is feeling weird. Getting some stodginess in there, some looseness on the inside and pain at different times of the day. Most of the feeling is just on the inside of the patellar tendon. May be tendinopathy, who knows. Will keep up with the stretching and rolling for the rest of the week. I'm not entirely confident that I'll be able to get back to squatting next week without seeing a professional first. Shit. That is all.

fuck. 

Yep. Fuck indeed.

Forgot to mention I have had some left ankle and achillies problems too the last week. Ankle still hasn't recovered from a sprain from 3-4 months ago and just doing some stretches have noticed the achillies is super tight on the left side.

Taking a note from Vag's book and adding in the couch stretch. Aiming for 5 minutes per leg each day. 1 min down so far today.

Got 3.5 mins of couch stretch in yesterday. Not quite the 5 I was hoping for but at better than nothing, or 3 mins. Whatever.
Someone suggested I do slow eccentric sissy squats for my knee for 5-10 reps and see how that feels. Did 3 sets of 5 across the day yesterday. While the pain isn't completely gone it's definitely better and different. Did some paused bw squats to below parallel but now full this morning and it's feeling pretty good. Will keep this up along with the couch stretch and some SMR and fingers crossed I'll be squatting again on Monday.

That is my biggest weakness in anything too, my mind always thinks ahead even from the start, so I just have to try and focus on now and let the things ahead come. Thinking ahead makes me tired quick.

t's easier to see how negative feedback can make you worse: "Information indicating that one’s performance is less-than-perfect, or even uncertainty about how one is performing (relative to others) due to lack of information, presumably activates self-regulatory processes in attempts to manage thoughts and affective responses." In other words, you start to overthink things, which gets in the way of smooth motor functioning. But to some extent, these "self-regulatory processes" are always present, so the benefit of positive feedback may be that it allows you turn those processes down a bit. In the context of running (and other physical tasks), the result may be greater motor efficiency: "Changes in energy expenditure are presumably a function of increased movement efficiency associated with greater movement stability, minimized co-contractions, and generally more economical muscle activation patterns."
