Zion is absolutely incredible. I can't wait for Duke/FSU tonight in the ACC championship.

watched his last 2 games back from injury.

man his finishing ability in the paint is next level.

Hello fellows

It has been a rough year so far, time spent between mental wards and in terrible headspace.

damn :/

Athletically I have gotten way out of shape, put on weight, although still moderately strong.

I went from 19-'s to ~210 because of constant stress eating. I have my final sectionals coming up, so it would be nice to get below 200 and bump up my conditioning (I ran a 8:00 mile). Eccentric strengthening would also be good  for on field success.

good to hear from you.

conditioning is good .. even if it's just for the mental aspect of it. personally, stuff that involves more work helps me clear my mind better. ie, i may go into some session thinking about too much garbage, and it just won't get out of my head, but by 1.5 hours it's usually all gone. same thing i've noticed with jump rope recently.. first 20 or so minutes i count each turn. as i get closer to 30 minutes, i just stop counting, and keep going. by an hour i'm constantly zoning out with much less conscious brain activity. that's something i love about "long duration conditioning". IMHO, best natural method to remove noise from the brain. can do similar stuff with less duration, with things like 400m repeats and such etc. so that stuff works well too. i don't' recall experiencing that with lifting, in fact it's probably the opposite. lifting made me way too aggressive and crazy. just my quick 2cents on a mental benefit of conditioning.

pc!

lunges felt so damn good. god damn. crazy. glutes felt fine.

however later in the day.. glutes sore as fuck.

i'll conquer these lunges. they are the truth.

barefoot. 

extra respect for barefoot. that is a beautiful clip.

race day but, aborted it.

Need to back off this week. Got some “ischial bursitis” going on (left leg). I’ve had this before quite a few times. This one seems a bit more significant than most though sooo… need to be careful. I was flying easy when I tweaked it on Wednesday, felt great. fu*k. I’ll probably still do jump rope (feels fine) and some crazy slow running (as long as there’s 0 sign of pain etc).

Have two big races the next 2 weeks: 10 miler saturday, half marathon 2 the following saturday. As of right now, looks like I might have to miss the 10 miler. I’ll try really hard to heal up for the half, somehow. Would really suck to miss that race. If i’m not near 100% though I won’t force anything, being injured isn’t worth it.

07:30 AM: Hearts at Work 5k: abort 0.5 mi in (left glute/hamstring still tweaked) ::: feel really good today too. sucks.

- 2nd AG @ 26:13 (hehe)
- small race. got a cool shirt.

might not be healthy for some big races coming up. that'd suck. the glute tweak i did this weak was dumb - dumb - dumb. i shut it down immediately. it actually felt pretty bad while jogging it out, so i def re-tweaked it somewhat. left hamstring/glute/low back feel lame.

whatever. going to just cross train & run light. if healthy i'll race.





09:00 AM: speed rope: 1h15m

- first mess up: 16:37!

seems like a safe cross training tool. i imagine i'll figure out how to overdo it tho. need to be safe.

Latest jump vid on insta around 34-36". I wasn't expecting to jump quite so high otherwise I  would have prepped the session better (had the phone by the sideline .. far for a clear video). Not bad for my 2nd jump session of the season .. can't wait to lose some of this deadweight and switch over to the peaking phase of training.

Also found out that if i jump without the ball i can get a nice athletic looking approach to the rim from the left side of the rim. Which is interesting because i do most of my jumping on the R side which is my least athletic side because im very slow approaching from the right of the rim. I am left handed by the way. Left of the rim im much faster but with the caveat that i can't jump well or so i thought, except it seems that only applies with the ball. Im a goofy jumper by the way which is why all of this is the wrong way around.

latest I see is the 32"? you speaking of that one or a new one? anyway, nice.

damn you have to tell us how you increased your vert from 12" to 34-36" in a few days.

Alright, in the middle of warmups for leg day and decided to test the SVJ. We have some of the Olympic ring things (? Lol) in the studio room in adjustable straps. So I measured them out and just kept moving them up. They're in the corner so nervous about using them for RVJ but... one jump at 35", two at 34ish and the first one at 32+/- a tad. Attempts went 32, 34, 35, 36(f), 34 barely.

Will figure out a halfway decent way to test all the RVJ variations as I lift tonight I hope.

jumping to olympic rings is pretty cool.

wow @ porter's weigh in. came in over, drove to a sauna, still was over, stripped naked, still over, cut hair, exhaled, just made it.

insane.
