Weight@session : ~195,5
Injuries/aches: none
Soreness : still sore from friday's lower session, hamstrings and glutes 1.5/5 , nice!

Upper Body Workout.

BENCH PRESS:
1x8@132 , ( +11lbs )
1x8@143 , ( +11lbs )
1x8@143 , ( +11lbs )
1x8@143 , ( +11lbs )
Duh , and i wondered why they felt so heavy , mis-remembered my starting point by 11lbs.
Best ive done this year was 1x6@143 and i hit 3x8 today , LOL.

hahaha.. nice, accelerated that progress a bit.

sick but man did i LOL when that pole broke.

haha

Its like your dancing or some thing when you dribble around deserted malls. DESERTED MALLS!!!

The Road.

good point...lets speed up the evolution by deleting users survivor style who are only bringing the forum down 

that's why there is a journal graveyard






another thing, it's interesting to me that, plenty of people who start trying to improve their athleticism, they completely lack an assessment/evaluation function.. If they lack an assessment/evaluation function, then the feedback_t returned from trainingFunc() becomes useless.. If you don't journal, you might as well give up before you try, because that is the basis for eval/assessment.

plenty of people that do have an assessment/eval function, have a problem understanding the feedback returned from trainingFunc(), i mean, we've all seen people just journal, pages upon pages, of just doing the same old thing over and over without a real focus on results.. You can't reFormTrainingPlan() if feedback_t is useless.. Some people never reform their training plan, they lack that function also, their training just becomes a loop of trainingFunc() without any filters, this usually is devastating.

another interesting concept here, is this.. we are looking at this from the micro level, but, say we look at it on the macro level. It becomes Genetic Programming, using evolutions and populations.

The population, such as our community of forum users (athlete structures), comes here with their own training histories, injury histories, etc.. Each user generally creates their own evaluation functions, assessment functions, etc, the degree to which each user does this varies with experience etc.. But basically, these are random "individuals" making up the population, the degree of variety exists, and eventually becomes refined/phased out after each evolution through the training process..

For example, we may have 40 athletes in the population, utilizing 40 different training ideologies.. After evolution #1, each athlete will have different results, the athletes with the best results tend to continue what they are doing, while the athletes with the worst results tend to incorporate ideologies based on what the best are using.. Evolution after evolution, the OVERALL asessment/evaluation/trainingFunc/filters are enhanced on a macro level, which each athlete incorporates on the micro level.. So basically, after years and years of evolution, this forum will have some pretty refined functions & filters regarding performance training, that will get people to where they need to go ALOT faster than a forum that people frequent only to "train to train"..

The key here is learning from each individual, taking into account their differences, similarities, etc, then creating branches in the assessment/eval/training functions so that each person goes down the optimal code path.

This is actually what is happening, slowly..

This forum now becomes the evolutionary algorithm of athletic performance enhancement, that is, as more & more journals are created and kept up with, it will happen.

The entire s&c industry is an evolutionary algorithm, but the problem is, so much scam/fluff has been injected, that the branches most people take, lead to failure, which then makes the s&c evolutionary algorithm a DEVOLUTIONARY algorithm. WTF. We need to demonstrate the optimal paths to success, over and over again, in order to make a dent in this massive population.
