been having tons of dreams lately

today- went walking with this dime, showed her my 6 pack but wen i pulled my shirt up, i had a beerbelly and she ran away.

lol, that's somehow a product of that young high jump girl showing her abs on that video.. funny

Ahem, ahem. Ladies and gentlemen (well, gentlemen), I would like to take this occasion to bring y'all's attention to the fact that I am now a Hero Member.

A thank ya, a thankyaverymuzh.

how do i downgrade your status? been trying to find out for hours but i can't fig it out! dammit.

you have been a hero in our hearts since day one, fyi.

Also, 135 lb squat = strong = ...what?

it was going up in < 1s.. i had to decelerate so to not jump squat it.

ok so.... the bodyweight only experiment has ended.. so, the have tons of fun experiment has started..

ok well, i can see myself really wrecking myself on this bodyweight shit again, because, i'll admit it, i'm greedy... the only way to provide significant overload is through depth drops and shock-like protocols... i know I can do it, it's just, do I have the patience to progress so damn slow and still risk injury such as my plantar fasciitis..  my exercise selection is limited on my bodyweight experiment, absolutely no devices / tools except for my GHR, so that leaves me to do lots of crazy shit in order to get results.. is it worth it right now? not sure.. i mean i'd love to complete it, but i also don't want to take waaay too much time adapting to drops/plyos.

i'll blog all this crap eventually and give my thoughts on pure bodyweight, I really think it can be done very successfully, as is kind of proof from how fast I got my RVJ up. plus you know what? i just want to do more stuff, more variety, and have more fun.. i get to use my thick bars, sled, and barbells now.. as well as my dip/pullup belt..

so, what am i going to do now? just have fun and keep up what i was doing, but instead of getting obsessed with my depth drops/plyos, i'll let those progress very-very gradually, which will be doable now that i'm going to mess with weights again.. i don't plan on going crazy with weights though, i'm still going to have a "more-work, lighter load" approach.

THANK YOU !!!

you planted the seed in my head a month or so ago, i blame you and your inception tactics

Haha , now you're back on track for 40'' so i feel no guilt!
BTW , i did like that experiment a lot , and going back to weights with the physical & mental gains from it will be sick.

ya man.. I did accomplish a ton in the brief time i performed the experiment. I am going to apply those same principles to lifting, so expect a very different style of training than my previous journal on TVS etc. My #1 focus will still be work capacity and overall conditioning, while trying to improve 10-60m sprinting, 1mile run, and DLRVJ/SLRVJ.

so ya, I'm kinda bummed that I'm stopping the experiment right now, but to maintain my own sanity, I have to have some fun with my training.. I can't have fun if I'm worrying about depth drops/plyometrics while having plantar fasciitis and whatever other ailment comes next

so tomorrow hopefully I feel good, throw a few dunks down, then at night do my big lunge/ghr workout.. that's the plan right now, we'll see tomorrow though when I wake up.

peace man

the other night i had this dream that felt like an hour or so, but was 5 minutes.. i dozed off and im training outside doing walking lunges for a while, next to this canal, then this car was creeping on me on this canal road, so i started running and it chased me through the grass/dirt/mud etc.. then i woke up.




last night:

long story short, i had a dream that i diced up this timothy mc veigh looked terrorist who had a bomb wired into his skin.. i diced him up real nasty with a rambo knife.. then somehow i was in this ring boxing this kid i used to train, who i hated, complete pussy, and i punched him and he flew out of the ring and was out or dead, something out of mike tyson's punchout.. then i was watching it on reply.. then i was fighting someone who looked like klitchko.. then i woke up during that fight.

so anyway, enough rambling while im taking a massive dump.. awesome workout below




BW = 162
soreness: quads
aches/injuries: left heel (PF)

workout:
- 1 mile warmup interval sprints to a plaza where i could sprint on a sidewalk with a roof.. i couldn't sprint outside because of the rain, so this worked out very well
- sprints: 10-20 yard dashes x 5, 40 yard dashes x 4, 20 yard dashes x 3
- .73 mile run home: 4:15
- ^^^ really happy about that.. so many factors going against me: quads were toast, sidewalk/pavement was wet, and i had to stomp for 5 seconds when a car pulled out... im very happy about this number, 4:15 for .75 under those circumstances is ballin'.. i really pushed it so.

circuit:
- adarq-style barbell squat: 4 x 5, 95 @ 2 x 3 singles, 135 @ {5 singles 3 singles 3 singles}
- bar-dips: ? x 3-5, 20 lb on dip belt @ 2 x 3, ? x 5
- 3" thickbar curl: ? x 5-8

i was shocked at how strong my squat was.. i literally could have jump squatted that 135.. all of this bodyweight stuff/sprinting i've been doing has got my hips/quads firing so strong..






ok so i'm very happy about the .73 mile run and the squat.. heel really didn't bug at all during any of that either, but, i didn't jump... so... i might do some dunks tomorrow though.. i figure ill go all out tomorrow, and if it bugs ill just rest it for 3 days while i do weights/sprints/bodyweight etc.

i know im capable of sub 5 minute mile right now, physiologically, but not mentally.. for sure not mentally.. i still have lots of "quit" in my brain.. that subconscious voice telling me to slow down / stop etc.. but with every night that i go all out on .75-1 mile runs, that voice will disappear little by little.. then it's over, possible PR's maybe who knows.


peace
