What pin do you set the bar on when you squat?
My mood right now:
warm up
jog a lap
STW core stretches, fast tempo
sprinter's warm ups
work
superset until dropoff (ended up being 4 sets)
--20y sprint x3
--DLRVJ x5
plank circuit x3x90s
cool down
jog 2 laps
STW core stretches, slow tempo
ab and calf stretches
No soreness going in. Was getting up okay on a few of the jumps. I was jumping to a crossbar on a HS football field (sneakers on grass). If it was regulation, then I definitely had a couple 31" jumps, maybe even a bit more. But I don't know, so suffice it to say I was jumping okay. Sprints felt fine, I guess, although I don't have too much to compare them to. I forgot that I lost my stopwatch. Will need to be replacing that. Also, I can't sprint in Nike Frees anymore. Toes too fucked up. Need stiffer soles or shoes I can fit my orthotics in. Some club rugby team was practicing on the field (they pay for the lights to be on after dark, hurray) and a guy came over to me at one point and asked if I was interested in playing rugby, that they can always use speedy athletic guys. So I guess I looked fast, anyway. Anyway, energy is high right now in case the word vomit didn't clue you in. This felt nice.
Why will reaching 145 lbs allow you to eat massive amounts without gaining weight?
once im 145 or so i'd be able to eat massive amounts of food without gaining any weight, that's how it was growing up (16-24) or so, before i went through crazy bulk (lower activity, insane amounts of peanutbutter/bread/milk etc).
peace
ooooooowhaaaaaaaaaaaat?
legit one-armed pushups? damn, kid, that's pretty sweet, esp at your size.
Ha, yeah. Legit. When I was recovering from my injury I started reading The Naked Warrior by Pavel. I read about the philosophy behind just one limbed exercises for strength gain and it made sense. At first my left arm could barely manage 2.... while holding a chair. I built up to full one-armed and flat on the ground as I recovered and got stronger. Now I do them all the time just to show off or for maintenance.
I wish you could have seen the difference in size between my left and right when I started. After atrophy my left arm was probably about 2 inches smaller than my right. I wish I had taken some pictures....
week 46
strength phase: lower
warmup, prehab
MR tuck jumps: 4 x 10
REA squats: 4 x 3 (70kg)
squats: 5 x (90, 100, 110, 120, 125, 115, 100)
pullups: 1 x 20
very short workout, 1 of the shortest i had so far. rain made sprinting impossible, courts were fully booked, and i had to rush off for work. not a good combi.
