I struggled to sleep last night because of my hamstring. I think I've actually torn it instead of just tweaked it. I iced it last night and there's no bruising but I can't walk properly or bend over so it's fucked. All I can do now is focus on my diet. I do love running but I"m becoming disillusioned with it. This is the 3rd hamstring tear in 4 years that I've had now. I'm thinking of playing social basketball now instead because this is just mentally and physically fucking me.

fuck.... ;/

you said it in one of your previous posts, got to listen to your body man.. right now rest up, don't mess with it. hopefully it's not as bad as you think it is.

when you're healthy again (in the near future), pin your recent post about ego/listening to your body and use it to help keep you in check. the most important thing in this hobby of ours is staying healthy. We MUST keep that as our #1 priority. Once you're healthy again (and you will be), don't let yourself make this mistake again. If we get hurt in an actual competitive event, it makes more sense; but not in training. We all fall victims to this (overdoing it in training). I know I have several times. It's always on my mind, i'm always trying to stay healthy. It's kind of like putting our hands on a stove but instead of it feeling hot/burning us, it feels great and then burns us.

I partially tore a hamstring tendon at the insertion loong ago.. around 2009. That really sucked but eventually it healed and I could go 100% on it. I imagine you feel like you tore yours at the muscle belly?

this should have been the first post:



doesn't get any better than that..

how wrong was I?

wow wtf?

Bio: Morning

sleep = 8.5 hours
wakeup = 7:30 AM
bw = 160 !!
morning resting heart rate = 43
soreness = calves slightly
aches = none
injuries = some toe nails (two purple)



Session: Morning

pouring rain again, the entire session.. running was not as fun as yesterday.. lifting in the rain was fun though.

warmup run:
- ~0.5 mi

jumps:
- relaxed slrvj: L-SLRVJ = ~10' touches, R-SLRVJ = ~9'6" backboard touches
- did these on a soaked court in the rain
- it's interesting that I can relaxed SLRVJ on a wet court, but not relaxed DLRVJ.. my DLRVJ had too much "slam on the breaks" form with my lateral plant.
- left plantar fasciae tweaked a little on one of the jumps

run: 40 minutes
- slow, weak
- not eating that second can of beans yesterday is probably the culprit.. lacked the energy to push myself
- or..
- i was somewhat hungry (related to the above). Had I wokeup at 5:30 and run earlier, I might have been able to run better without that hunger feeling attacking my mind.

lift: mSEM (m = moderate)
- next session: maybe tuesday
- felt strong, unlike in my run

close stance bb half squat:
- 185 lb. x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
- felt great & strong, can most likely bump it up next session
- very close stance

standing bb overhead press:
- 85 lb. x 1, 1

bb romanian deadlift:
- 135 lb. x 1, 1, 1, 1

standing bb curl:
- 85 lb. x 1, 1, 1

injuries = same as morning, left plantar fasciae slightly



Computer Programming

- ported some LCG (linear congruential generator) from my haskell daimyo repo to a new golang daimyo repo:
- https://github.com/adarqui/daimyo-go/tree/master/src/random/lcg
- not too fun but just more of an exercise
- i plan to start some more daimyo repos: daimyo-{ocaml,rust,javascript,c}
- daimyo-* is just some training group concept I use when doing random coding exercises. I put everything into a big re-useable library.

- I need to look into fixing this pull request I did for tcpdump: https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/tcpdump/pull/441
- It adds "RESP" (redis serialization protocol) support to tcpdump. This PR has been going on for a LONG TIME. Need to look into it soon.. kind of dreading it though considering how long it takes to get responses etc. I could potentially fix it then wait another year before someone replies, lmao.
- tcpdump is awesome though, would love to add more protocols to it.



figured i'd rest tonight.. still pouring rain. didn't feel like going out there and toughing it out.

was very happy with the lifting session.

I need to get in some higher volume jump sessions soon.. I want to try this "relaxed up and back full court jump" session (just jogging up one end, L-SLRVJ, jogging back the other end, R-SLRVJ, repeat) -> for ~30 minutes for example. I'm more interested in submax jumping right now because I still have alot of work to do before i'm comfortable REALLY jumping max using SLRVJ.

pc!

bump

nasty

I busted out my SSTM book (the last SSTM that Verkhoshansky wrote). Probably going to re-read it. Bounced around, was alot of fun reviewing some of that stuff.

bw = 163
soreness = hamstrings slightly, calves slightly
aches = right knee slightly
injuries = same as above, left hand middle fingertip - small lump - i think it's from when I run with my new knife; sometimes I have to hold it and maybe it's rubbing up against my fingertip in a weird way.. that's what I think it is for now.

I should take another HR before my evening sessions!

good stuff today. hopefully tomorrow it isn't pouring all day. I want to get some lifts in tomorrow (bilateral) and sunday (unilateral) too.

I'm dying for some fresh coconuts & indian samosas on Sunday @ the local farmer's market.

so many active journals and so many people doing well has me fired up to go train tonight.

ya

 

alot of us train alone, so lots of people busting ass in journals definitely has a "training partner" feel to me.

mantra is "AELS, AELS, AELS" -- i'm tempted to kick MSEM squats all the way up to 315. 

what's AELS?

- squat MSEM 305 x 10
~45-60s rests. bar was popping. sixth rep was a little wobbly so i took a bit of extra rest and refocused. rest good.

nice! when are you bumping up to 315?
