my only worry with anything to do with boxes is achilles wear and tear. if you're controlling it pretty well that's alright but just be careful.

120 mins pickup: running pretty hard. Throws get really ugly when my hands get drenched from hyperhidrosis, going to have to either learn to throw with hands soaked or figure out some way to keep them pretty dry.
plus
been meaning to get wrist bands for ages.
or there's always the buzz bullets approach of wearing WR gloves on both hands.

- jump rope 60/60 x 7-8, with GMB warm up in the rest periods
- pull up x (3,2,1) x 3
so unbelievably weak.
- DB shrug 20s x 20
- KB swing 16 x 20
- tricep pressdown 30 x 15
- handstands
got a couple decent free kick-up holds. somehow these don't bother my shoulder.
shoulder still bugging so no pressing and taking it easy on the ultimate and tennis for a couple more days at least. first time at the gym in ages and ages.

i'm still waiting for someone to put their elbow in the rim but hold onto the ball. super double bonus if you can pull it back out through the rim.

chiming in late on the jump squat debate to say: even when using DBs, be careful of your lower back. fucked myself up doing jump squats with 25-pound DBs a few years ago because i failed to maintain tight core and let my tailbone tuck under suddenly and under load. very unpleasant.

- half-field 5-on-5 ultimate
soooo fun, much less running, quick points, my team actually started to learn how to force. also we won all our games.

yeah it was funny to realize how little i'd been using them. but also kind of weird, because they don't shake like that after i've played a long point of ultimate or tennis and you'd think that all the COD and stopping and starting would be harder on them than a bit of steady jogging. go figure.

no identity of my own? you called me a poli-correct super left wing douche bag in the preceding sentence. if that's not an identity, i don't know what is. you can't have it both ways.
to answer your question: it's great. "political correctness" is a chickenshit term used by people who don't like to feel uncomfortable when their power is challenged by the people they oppress. when someone says it, what they mean is, e.g., "i really wish i could still get away with calling women who don't want to have sex with me 'cold bitches' without anyone calling me out on it." being left wing means that i believe that power -- financial, political, social, cultural -- should be shared equitably among all people, rather than concentrated in a few hands and wielded to oppress the majority. currently the world mainly follows the latter model, but fighting to move people toward greater equality and against oppression gives my life purpose. i'm pretty okay with that.
as far as being a douche bag: if i've been rude to you sometimes, i apologize. i was more patient as a little kid than i am as an adult and that bothers me sometimes. you are deeply irritating as an online presence. sometimes you make good posts and i like to follow your training, but a lot of the time i wish it were easier to avoid you. you make that difficult by spamming the board with so many threads.

grapefruits are the shit. they're in season here right now and daaaaaamn.
here's a delicious salad my gf made the other day:
- ~2 cups lentils (cooked and cooled at least to room temp)
- 2 small or 1 med cucumber chopped pretty fine
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- bunch of mint chopped
- drizzle of balsamic vinegar (start with a little and add a little more if not enough, to taste)
- salt to taste

- run 4km
first 3.5 @ ~5:00/km, last 500m appreciably faster, maybe 4:00/km. pretty easy but i am not in any kind of running shape. contemplated the amount of work it'd take to get into 19:xx 5k shape (i.e. as fast as i was the one year i ran JV cross country in high school).
- walk 500m
- stretch
quads shakin' a bit after. felt fucking great though. let's see how my knees and toes do tomorrow.
