neutral grip pullups: BW @ 6

S1: RDL variations
- 45 lb. x 10, normal, normal
- 95 lb. x 30, normal
- 95 lb. x 50, partials below knee, this felt good
- 95 lb. x 20, wide
- 95 lb. x 10 each, staggered stance .. these are very hard .. the straight leg in front and bent leg in back, makes it pretty awkward
- 95 lb. x 15, feet completely together, like these

S1: calf raise variations
- BW x 60, normal
- BW x 70, normal
- BW @ 2 x 20, 20, single leg calf raises

legs feel great right now.. i imagine they will get more sore but man they feel loose/bouncy. wish my right hip flexor would heal forever - doesn't seem like it will.. though, my right elbow mostly feels fine now.. so, there's hope.

lots of coding today.. worked on modifying profiles via the profile page. simple stuff.. harder stuff was working on google authentication via google oauth2. almost got it working .. need to get this working because that'll be how most people login I imagine.. it is also a good test because, it will make me figure out how to handle users logging in from two different authentication services, ie: github & google. Right now it doesn't support that.. and it needs to. Then, I need it to support more authentication services like facebook (?) & slack.

also enjoying 'standup desk' again.. really need to use this more from now on. I get alot more done when i'm standing & coding.

really tired, have to wakeup early.

brazil press conference soon about the lochte/robbery incident.

man o man.. starting to look like they lied... if so, Lochte has just turned himself into the biggest joke ever.

hopefully they figured it all out though, tired of hearing about this story.



Bolt tonight!!! 200m.

lots of coding today.. got page views migrating over now too, so that we don't lose our page views on threads etc.. hehe.

just thought this looks cool.. obviously need to format things a bit better & make the date sexier, but dno, looks cool:



oh also.. i've got the forum imported several times on my local environment.. so several times * 111,000 posts and such. haha. developing locally mostly because the migration stuff is intense, runs faster locally. Hopefully some time in the near future I can pop this thing up onto the server and have people check it out. I'd like to get google authentication working before that though.. right now you can only log in via github. Need google + github.

Goal Progress:

Anaerobic conditioning: 1/10 only a single session where I went too hard in the 400 and ended after 3 150's cause i set unrealistic time goals, then I ran another slightly submax 400m in 1:05. Other 2 times I went to the school track it was being used by the school. Just not good at motivating myself to do these.

Throws: 9/10 Throwing and taking notes on throws every day, only missed a single day of throwing since my last post.

Cutting: 6/10 I'm sitting at 181.8 lbs right now. I was 186 a few days ago but inconsistent water weight. I will need a couple of days to carb bulk before the tourney, but I think 178 is doable by then. If i can convinvce myself to go hard on these intervals, 175 might even be achievable.

Jumps/Layouts: 3/10 Did a session on SLRVJ's off both legs: RSLRVJ needs a couple sessions of work at least. SVJ at 30.5"! I'm a little worried about training high layouts with or without a slip N slide. I injured my rotator cuff on one of these in game like a month ago so I've been hesitant about doing it. Definitely need to do at least 2 jump sessions and 2 layout sessions.

Will I get better results if I peak my bounciness or my anaerobic endurance?

yo. better results for what specifically?


Quote
No matter what I have to do more flexibility sessions cause my groin and hip flexors and hamstrings especially get tight fast. I think my frequent rounded back sitting lifestyle contributes to this. Do you guys think static stretching carries over to dynamic flexibility?

Also does having lateral and medial hamstring tightness discrepancies bad? I think my medial hamstrings are really tight. Check out the knee drive on this jump:



I've got 10 days left.

static stretching sucks........ but sometimes you just need to do it. It's best to get a solid warmup in, then some active/dynamic stretching as part of the warmup (swings, rotations, etc) .. train .. then possibly hit some chronic areas you have with some static stretching at the end.

from my experience: static stretching itself, frequently, can probably do more harm than good. It's absolutely great when you "just need to stretch" .. but, stretching every day always ends up making me MORE injured. Maybe i'm just stretching too hard? Probably not.. Even doing simple stretches in safe ROM's, for ~30s and such, every day, just seems to increase the risk that something will get achey or weak.

the important thing I find is.. at the end of your sessions, you don't even need to do a ton of stretching.. you're already much more loose. So you can hit chronic areas more efficiently. If you're cold, it takes you a while to work into those same positions and that's where potential damage is done.

so post workout - ya go for it.. just don't go overboard.

regarding whether static stretching carries over to dynamic: I can tell you that warming up REALLY GOOD and improving your ROM (with some light stretches and/or dynamic stretches/mobility movements) prior to training/lifting etc, carries over to dynamic. So I think that's the real area we should focus on.. Everything else is up for debate.

Season 1 recap
Main hot girls father and friends were attacked by Brendan James in HS because he was a freak, he attacked her father but he lived and he killed 5 other people, police shot him and he fell into the lake and the figured they killed him.  You find out that emmas mom and Brendan james boned and knocked up emmas mom and thats why her father left. Brendan James was disfigured AF and had a special mask(killers mask) made to keep his face like together after surgery.
Main hot girl w/nice butt has killer after her
Main hot girl and friends try to find out who it is
Main hot girl finds out who killer is (half sister) at party and main killer dies
Ending scenes show Main Hot girls friend had letters from the main killer

Season 2

Emma(main hot girl with nice butt) is back in lakewood after having a psychotic break and everything seems to be the same.  Noah(friend) starts a podcast about everything that happened and had suspicions that main killer had an accomplice and tried to piece it together.  Main killer mainly stalks Emmas friend who brought the killer to lakewood, not too kill but to just fuck with everyone and tries to get video footage to pin everything on her and emma(you find out later he makes a video)  Jake(friend) is the first to go but nothing happens with that until like 4 episodes in when they are at school and they unroll a banner and he drops out and almost lands on his gf.  This is when everything starts and they just throw curveball after curveball so you have no clue who the killer is and even a few things that should have been explained werent.  Kieren(emmas bf after her first boyfriend died in season 1) cousin who shows up this season was at the previous bfs funeral before anyone knew him.  He took Emma to an abandoned house to try to bone and there were 2 bodies in the bathroom(the cousin isnt the killer btw) but its strange that they didn't explain that.  More killings and sabatage and what not happens and you get to the final episode that I am rewatching  where you get to find out who the killer is.  Ending scene shows killer in Jail and killer calls claiming to be his lawyer and says "Who said you can wear my mask"

First Season was all John Carpenter and had a Scream 4 feeling to it where it picked on itself and picked on social media a lot.  Also contained creative narrating.  This season didn't feel like that and it seemed like it was too technological for the killer to do by himself(uploading a video as a virus onto a computer nerd who hacks computer and cant stop it for instance) I am not a fan of slasher movies like this where the second movie(or season) incorporates the main character being a nut job which makes sense but they do too much of her being crazy and seeing things and it just didnt feel like it worked.  It still peaked my interest once jakes body was revealed and was kind of disappointed in the deaths simply because its supposed to one up itself and idt this time it did.  The new PC characters would have annoyed me because they did it simply because the first season was too white but the characters were good. 

Killer reveal: I wont in case someone reads my shitty reviews and wants to watch it but it annoys me that once the killers get revealed they have to do creepy killer voice...idk its off putting, the first killer did that also.  I enjoyed the season but I would have enjoyed it more if I didnt wait week to week to watch the episodes I think. 

This season was a 3/4 out of 5 because of the slow start.

Will be reviewing a new show called idk yet, I forgot what it was but it picks on Millennials and how coddled they are and I believe its on ABC or something.  They did a test screening for Millennials(probably college aged kids 24 and under or so) even though I count as a Millennial and i guess it pissed all of them off and they said good the shows perfect then haha.

eagerly awaiting this review..  :headbang:

Wednesday - 08/17/16

-= Study Log =-

Review Questions

Real Practice Tests
Today: 839/1,170 Correct (71.7%)
Total: 1,190/1,670 Correct (71.2%)

Whew. That's a lot. New test questions were posted so I wanted to go overboard today and still not have as much to do tomorrow. Now I "only" have 545 questions to do tomorrow! It'll seem like cake in comparison to the 1,170 I did today. Literally studied for 10+ hours today. That also includes the cards that are coming up for review on myspaced repetition app lol. I still have to memorize the cards for the last chapter of my book, btw. I'll do it next week... got no time for that right now.

Ball game last night. Was interesting that I didn't go in with the usual fire. Being out for a couple of weeks with the chest infection and my sore ribs I basically just wanted to get a decent run in. Game ended in a draw though in the most frustrating way. Our guards had an absolute refusal to guard their main and only scorer who dropped 6 3's. Even with that we're up by 1 with 30s to go and one of our guys shoots an unnecessary 3 from the corner, misses but gets his own rebound and then proceeds to throw a behind the back pass that goes straight out of bounds. They go down and hit a 3 with 10 seconds to go and we managed to scrape a bucket in with a few seconds left. I know it's not the NBA but people can be frustrating to play with sometimes.

damn.

is there an explanation for people who don't play hard defense? I never understood it.. I took so much pride in defense. I mean, what fun is scoring etc, if you're letting some dude just score all over you ... not sure how people don't take more pride in defense than offense.

as for the behind the back pass that went out of bounds, really late in the game.. remember this?



 :trollface:

I felt ok. Ribs hurt like a bitch for the first 5 minutes and then didn't feel them again till after the match. Happy with the run although I had limited hops but that's to be expected on recent training form. Feel like I should be pretty much back to normal by next week and will be able to begin my run at it again.

nice! being sick sucks.. just trick yourself into thinking you took a nice 2 week deload.

rib/intercostal injuries can be a real pain in the ass.. i've had a few of them. When I get them, I can't run at all. I would have been complete toast in that basketball game you played.. Jogging/running is completely impossible. Just be careful with it, don't want it to become "more chronic".

10859
still not really able to push myself. mid back was wigging out a little yesterday after the workout and was again today during. something to be wary of.

maybe hit up some high rep 45 deg hypers, prone alternating superman, prone cobras etc?

that mid back thing has been nagging for a while .. i mean it's definitely a good thing that it isn't the lower back, but still, sucks.
