Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: October 07, 2017, 04:15:47 am »
- run 4km in 20:35
walked the first ~150m, then pace was right at 5:00/km despite trying deliberately to take it easy.
- walk 400m
- stretch
was in the mountains for the last few days, warmed up and stretched a bit in the mornings but otherwise work was flat-out: visiting local community groups all day and catching up on normal stuff all night. really stressed out. also my gf is pissed at me for reasons which she will not elaborate, which ordinarily i would be much better able to deal with but which right now is just making me frustrated. trying to figure out what to do with the frustration, where to channel it. i am, generally speaking, a very emotionally stable and self-contained person. i have deep reserves of patience for myself and for other people. it's weird for them to have been whittled so far down.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Squat Narrow vs Wide stance and Vertical/speed

does it seem like that, or do you actually jump higher from a static hold than with a countermovement? perception is not always reality. have you measured?

according to that calculator i'm at 10-11% bodyfat and could stand to lose a bit over 2kg of fat and gain about 11kg of lean mass to reach my maximum muscular potential. seems legit but i'll never be that heavy inshallah.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: why am i so goddamn injury prone?
« on: September 28, 2017, 01:59:25 am »Do you take supplements like: MSM + collagen + gloucosamine/chontroitin + fish oil + vitamin c which helps collagen absortion + D3 + magnesium ?
i haven't in a long time because evidence for so many of them is so weak and my n=1 is that they have no noticeable effect on my health or well-being. but i think it's time to start again. i got vitamin b12 yesterday on the recommendation of the doc i saw here for my staph infection, as an immune booster. thinking to add fish oil, C, D, and ZMA. and also to start making bone broth.

lot of wisdom in adarq's post. thanks.
it's definitely both. the limitation of the "stubborn/pushes too hard" narrative is that it doesn't explain why other people who are also stubborn and push hard don't get hurt so much. hard to measure, but the trend is definitely there. i mean, it's not like i was training or playing harder as a kid in baseball or fencing, but i was always hurt in some way and other kids weren't. the bit about the collagen gene variant that prevents people from getting soft-tissue injuries is tantalizing; i am a walking soft tissue injury. there has to be more out there like that.
Is it being injury prone or just pushing yourself athletically more than was intended?
I look back at my training history and the injuries that I've had and they all have one thing in common. The repetition of a singular movement through normal ranges and into the stages of pain until the injury occurs. I often think what if I cycled my lifts, had an off-season and a pre-season every year. It almost seems ridiculous that I don't but I'm also scared that if I don't keep lifting all the time I won't progress. A look at my lifts from 7 years ago illustrates this point perfectly.
