no doubt. haven't used any supplements since i left the states. also i haven't checked the research on whey in years but from what i recall the difference between WPC and casein is pretty marginal and doesn't justify the extra cost of casein. to paraphrase alan aragon, in terms of protein consumption, the priorities are:

1. getting enough high-quality protein throughout the day
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. timing of that protein

last night:

ACHES/INJURIES: still coughing a little, chest congested a little
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: okay, rushed

- warm up
lot of mistakes with the jump rope. weird.

- paused squat 100 x 5,5
okay. road to rebuilding a smooth squat starts here. these were solid but the weight was so light that that's to be expected.

- pull up x 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4

that was all i had time for last night. this week is stupid busy. i'm actually avoiding work right now (it's 9PM), although i'll probably do it before i go to bed.

easy on the blowjobs man, all that bobbing can give you a headache before squats!

all other things being equal, more weight is better. i remember some of the trainers from lyle's mean forum talking years ago about how adhering to strict press is dumb, even for mass gain, because with push press you can use more weight. much harder to cheat on the eccentric.

big ups to your wife! just finishing a half ironman is no joke, and running a sub-2-hour half after the swim and the bike is really impressive.

man fuck people who let their dogs be like that. if it's happened more than once...dude should not be allowed to own a dog.

in lahore this weekend we got breakfast one morning with a friend of a friend and he brought his 1.5-year-old german shepherd along. clearly almost completely untrained/unsocialized. it sort of understood "sit" in urdu but that was it. tried to jump up, eat our shoes, pulled constantly at its leash. it's one thing if you've got a little dog -- although that's still bad -- but german shepherds are big and can fuck you up if they feel like getting violent or overexcited.

dogs should come with compulsory classes for people to understand their responsibilities as an owner.

tried using a bar to load the back extension but it simply does not work, cant hold it in place .. sad, really was falling in love with this exercise but it's limited in a big way by how to load it. oh well.


hold plate to chest, hold barbell in row position, get better at holding the barbell on your back. lots of options.

also just found out there's a 5k race here at the end of feb. getting fit for that might be a good way to spend jan and feb after i get back from my trip to SE asia.

lahore was really fun but exhausting. was out until 7 am on friday night/saturday morning, then did a four-hour walking tour of some amazing historical sites on saturday, slept like a rock saturday night, drove out to the indian border on sunday and then was out until 2:30 am sunday night/monday morning. probably doubled my lifetime blow consumption on friday night. i don't know how people do that all the time. insane.

anyway just jumped a bit of rope and stretched a bit to get the car legs out.

3222
getting a tux made and went today to do a second fitting of the shirt and jacket and to try on the pants. they were so tight they looked painted on, i couldn't even fold my legs enough to tie my shoes. turns out the guy who makes the pants didn't believe the thigh and hip measurements he'd been given because they were so out of proportion to the waist measurement.  :highfive:  8) :ibsquatting:

no worries, they'll just remake them and i'll get fitted again next week. i'm gonna look sharp as fuck.

ACHES/INJURIES: last vestiges of cold
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: tired but good, then really good

- warm up
got 50 double unders at one point. a bonus of having a short rope is double unders are way easier. criss-crosses much harder.

- DB SVJ 10s x 3,3,3

- SVJ x 3,3,3

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- squat 140 x 1,1; 80 x 20
140 was easy but a complete twisting mess. might be time to revisit paused squatting and really focus on form. same story for the 20-rep set: hips a little all over the place in the bottom ROM. still, no pain anywhere and felt great. didn't even get a back pump, which means core was solid throughout. bw x 20 after not squatting heavy for two months is alright.

- bench 80 x 5,5
right thumb hurt a bit after the first set, okay after second. still readjusting grip.

- superset x 2
-- TTB x 10; windshield wiper x 10
-- hyper x 10

- kroc row 36 x 13L; 14R
bah. something to work from

- stretch

feel super awesome now. going to lahore this weekend, will do a bunch of walking but that's it.

was listening to an interview with dana carvey last night (garth from wayne's world). apparently he ran 4:27 in high school and still kills himself running, like pushing pulse to 190 doing hills and shit. he's 61. beast.
