Thursday-Friday 8/11-12/2011:

Thursday:
5 mile bike ride, mostly uphill. Light gym stuff with summer track and a backflip comp with a friend (only got 5 or 6 before I couldn't land them anymore). Still feeling weak from work and sleep stuff.

Friday:

Pull up stuff between 2 thick bars for fun. (one over the other, pull up and reach for top with both arms, drop to lower, repeat)
Was feeling tired from work. Napped from 1pm until around 3pm. Skipped lifting.

Went to the county fair. My friend's gym had a demo on the main stage for their gymnastics place. Saw some parkour enthusiasts from USU do some demos for them and I got the guts to just do a backflip on the ground. Boss. I probably did ~15 flips the rest of the day.

Friday 8/4/2011:

-Power clean: 145x3, 150x3, 155x3, 155x3, 160x1 +1 failure (WEAK)
-DB Bench press: 45x5, 50x5, 55x5, 60x5 (BARELY got the last bit. Still felt really fatigued)

-Side bends: 2x12 w/50lbs
-BB calf raises: 185x2x12

-Cut the rest of auxiliary as well as sandbag. Felt so weak.


My job's been screwing with my energy, alertness, etc. I hate it. At least I won't have the crappy schedule too much longer. 4am shift SUCKS.

HAWT.

Good post, Avi. The low foot recovery in the acceleration phase that you mentioned is something neglected by most starting and intermediate sprinters. Cycling at the start would definitely slow your sprint.

I'd like to see this paper or whatever that says he's not actually running. Not to be rude or anything, I'm actually genuinely interested. Whether or not he runs doesn't change the fact that he's a beast. He's still the world record holder in the paralympics for the 100m and 200m.

I don't usually listen to any hardcore music. I know Rise Against isn't really "hardcore" per se, the post was more about the message of the song than music.

I don't see how Rise Against is really a sell-out. The whole point of their music from the start has been to spread political messages and that's what they've kept doing. If they have to expand their audience into the mainstream to spread their thoughts to more people, more power to them. I'll consider them sell-outs when they make money without making music about anything meaningful like most of the bands teenagers listen to.

it's cool man you can like rise against all you want but i still think they blow and if their change to reach more voices is akin to "abandoning the free market to save the free market"...i disagree with their politics anyways...they're liberal tools with no brains most likely

Yep. Haha. Well, not entirely I guess. Most of their songs are more antigovernment stupidity than anything. I don't like their support for PETA... that's pretty dumb and tool-ish. PETA's just a dumb organization.
