aches = low back, right hip (really annoying today, i've had this before it absolutely sucks), right hand slightly, right ankle
injuries = none

Contrast Shower



Session: Morning

tennis:
- 2 hours
- played very relaxed
- still was competitive with my dad even though I didn't sprint hard for balls etc.. this was good
- got my serve in nice, with decent speed, without putting too much effort into it
- actually had 6 aces without trying to hit the ball hard :f



Food

- 12" veggie sub
- 5 bananas
- chocolate soy milk
- greek yogurt



Session: Stretch

- light stretching
- glutes very tight



Food

- kefir



Session: Foam Roll

- first time foam rolling in a while
- felt really good
- also used it to help put some pressure on my hips/spine
- sat on tfl/glute med for a while
- felt a bit better after i was done.. rolled for about ~30 minutes
- still feeling a bit better at the end of the night.. but I need to keep fixing this right TFL



Food

- 5 bananas
- chocolate soy milk
- greek yogurt
- thick PB sandwich



Cold Shower



tennis tournament tomorrow! word! playing someone who beat my dad a few times.. he's also the #1 seed in the tournament (out of 4 people hah).. he's the only one that's ranked because of previous tournament play or something. glad to be facing him in the first match though, will be fresh.

"revenge for my father" <- jajaja... or I get wrecked.

Hey Andrew,

Noticed you're drinking lots of chocolate soy milk.  I'm sure all the talk of soy milk being bad for you is overblown, but what's your take on them?  Also is there any validity to the phytoestrogen stuff people say 'messes with ur hormones'?

There's so much conflicting info online I just wanna hear what your take on them is

no idea tbh. i'm trying not to drink a crazy amount of it so, if there is some legitimate issues with it, i'll hopefully avoid it by not going overboard with it.. i've basically done GOMAD before, but just because I loved milk and used it as a goto source. That probably wasn't too healthy.

not sure though really. I like LBSS's post/quote on this.

fwiw, I feel fine drinking soy milk. I've never experienced any kind of noticeable negative effects from drinking it.

pC!

i like the new journal name.

eric, have you ever considered doing like, 30-60 minutes of jump rope straight? By straight I mean continuous or rounds (3min on, 1min off). I used to do that near-daily when boxing, loved it & miss it. I've been thinking about bringing it back myself, as a finisher to one of my morning or evening sessions. Having a good rope makes it even more fun, I have a Buddy Lee speed rope, that thing can fly.

Frequent + long jump rope sessions are definitely good for the physique.

Shoes / Lotto Quaranta VIP

LBSS recommended and approved.. well maybe not this exact version, but lotto quaranta's in general.


Love these: price + very light + foam is extremely comfortable/bouncy. I move around great in them.

I do have some issues with them:
- they seem to wear down very fast when playing tennis on hard court: foam sole is grinding down very quick, little holes starting to appear. I've probably played with them ~15 times and they are definitely wearing down quick.
- the insoles they come with are HORRIBLE. I would have ripped them out but they ripped out the first time I wore them.
- since the insoles suck (thick cushion feeling), I have to put my own insoles in them, because the sole is this raw mesh that'll wreck your feet. I just wish they had a normal fabric sole so I could wear them without an insole.

I like these alot better than my Lotto Quaranta IV's.

Shoes / New Balance 60's (tennis shoes)

Just ordered these. I really like my Lotto Quaranta VIP's, but I seem to rip them up pretty fast. I still plan to use my lotto's on hard courts, since they are so cheap and light. For tournaments though, I might use these NB 60's. I imagine they will be built "better" and I won't need to put insoles in them (like I do with my lottos).

Minimalist shoes > * .. I actually have some normal tennis shoes, they are tanks compared to lotto's and most likely the NB 60's. Will update once I get them.

Grand final ball game last night. We lost by 6. It was a really tight game and there was only a point or two separating us all game until they got a run on with about 10 mins to go to put it out to a 10 point lead. We pegged them back but just couldn't close the gap. Pretty frustrating game though. They banked 2 threes in the first 5 mins and had quite a few lucky shots drop. The kind that just shouldn't go in. Either way we had our chances too.

I told the team I'm not in for the next season so I can concentrate on lifting and then get back to hapkido over the next couple of months. Pretty excited about that. I think I will still fill in every now and then just to keep the desire to make a full blown return at bay. I get the bug if I don't play for too long and I think playing every 3-4 weeks will remind me of the good and bad about it.

makes sense, good idea.

how long have you trained hapkido in the past?




those vivobarefoot shoes look nice. love minimalist shoes.

sleep = 8 hours
bw = 171
soreness = none
aches = ankles a little, right hip, lower back
injuries = right ankle slightly (feels a little weird)



Food

- orange juice



Contrast Shower



Session: Morning

Crazy humid this morning.. sweat my brains out, was soaked.

tennis:
- 2 hours
- almost beat my dad in the first set, lost 7-5.. really should have had that set
- was moving very fast on the court, got to every ball.



Food

- lots of fruit
- orange juice
- 2 greek yogurts



Session: Evening

tennis:
- 2 hours
- lefty practice
- serve practice
- tried to stay light with the serves, work more on form.. biggest things that help me with serves are: 1) chest up, 2) committing to continental grip & whipping the racquet .. by committing i mean, not letting my hand slide to a different grip.



Food

- chipotle salad bowl, double chicken
- stacys pita chips
- 2 glasses of chocolate soy milk



Food

- greek yogurt
- 7 bananas



feel a bit wrecked tonight but.. should feel alot better in the morning.

tennis tournament soon! there are only 4 people in it.. hahah! I think i'll get 2 matches at least. I'm going to try my chances at 4.0 level. One of the players in the tournament has beaten my dad a few times. One of the other players my dad has beaten a few times. And the third player is in his first tournament, like myself. Should be interesting.

Thats whats up, gotta be nice living in florida so you can do that stuff pretty much year round

ya definitely, the only thing that we have to worry about is rain. Comes and goes out of nowhere, all year round. Basketball/Tennis courts dry fast though so, that's cool.

those would be some solid numbers, nice.

ya that yang SVJ is nuts. If SVJ is an eventual goal, i'd definitely start mixing in SVJ's as soon as possible, even if it's just a few jumps 1-2x/week. They also serve as nice warmups for squatting. You can mix them up too; squat jump, cmj, paused cmj etc. Don't want to be primarily making movement efficiency gains when you're nearing your goal squat numbers, you know? Better to integrate that as your squat is going up, IMHO.

btw they do "unracking" in that vid at ~6min.. obviously have to be very careful with it, but it's definitely a potential tool to get used to really heavy weight.
