a strong squatter on lyle mcdonald's mean forum swore by standing ab pull-downs for squatting core strength. he did 'em with bands and cables both, iirc. n=1 but something else to consider if you're concerned about your core.

i googled jay schroeder just now, finally, and one of the first hits is for a thread on charlie francis's forums from 2003. who should be there on page 1 but our very own coolcolj, with the following observation:

Jay deliberately tries to be misleading

 

oh christ don't even SAY apple fritters 

were they good doughnuts? because i still haven't had a truly good one outside the US. or even really seen/smelled one that looked promising.

if so, i demand details.

sucks that the weather's still bad over there.

jaysus man hope you're doing okay.

- run ~10.2 km

- bike ~3.4 km

- stretch

went out for a combo run/bike with gf. gorgeous day, was really fun. pace on the quick side, hard to tell average from watch data because we kept stopping after about 6 km so i could navigate and we could discuss route options. but if i had to guess i'd say ~4:50 moving average, not accounting for breaks. which is fine, i felt good, and with the breaks it wasn't challenging. first time riding a bike other than a beach cruiser in like 10 years, lol. i can still do it -- it is, after all, actually riding a bike -- but not terribly gracefully. gotta get one once this craziness settles down.

yeah as i've transitioned into being mostly vegetarian i'm starting to wonder about my protein intake. should probably journal it out for a while to make sure i'm not shortchanging myself. was never an issue when i was eating meat or fish every day.
