i understand how the programming is supposed to go, my point was that you tend to get discouraged and distracted as soon as you stall and that it doesn't matter which program you choose, you'll still stall at some point. just pick one and stick with it.

iirc OHP translates to bp better than the other way around. depends on your goal. sounds like that has to do with push press, so i'd say just focus on that. if you're worried about form, do less weight for more reps and don't let yourself go to even volitional failure until you're more confident.

fuck yeah scoob. and thanks acole for fixing the embed.

Went for a run with the wife yesterday. Strange way to celebrate our 11 year wedding anniversary but we went for Vietnamese and beers afterwards which was cool.

Body is pretty much sore all over right now. It's doms like soreness and not injury like so that's ok. May or may not rest today but will definitely push legs out till tomorrow.

 

c. have decided that from feb, im going to commit to 11 months of non-cutting. even if im fat (and i am), i will just accept it and try to get as strong as possible without getting fatter.

 

d. i will prob go back to doing heavy jumpsquats as main explosive exercise, push presses are not the answer i wanted. that or i will teach myself to do the classical lifts, but considering im such a spazz when it comes to easier movements maybe that's just a dead end lol

 

e. conditioning, conditioning conditioning, as soon as im confident my foot is healed, im going all in on sprints and general running

 

RBs are bigger than DBs as a rule.

watching the russian animal dude made me think about how much MORE freaky the likes of byron jones, antonio brown, ezekiel elliott, ODB, etc. are.

that guy plays american football in russia. the bush leagues. NFL players are INSANELY athletic.

yeah those aren't actual training vids, they're showing off. i'm with coges, i'd do all that shit if i was strong and mobile* enough, it looks really fun.

*to me that's the most amazing aspect of his vids and the reason i followed him: the guy can move. lots of dudes can deadlift a lot of plates. not many dudes can do a back-pistol-squat-eccentric-to-sots-press-to-OHP-to-pistol-squat-concentric.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger fucked in a new way, no can grip
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: motivation kind of low, had to drag myself through this

- warm up

- superset x 3
-- high-rear-foot BSS x 20/leg
-- push up x 20
-- band pull-apart x10,10,30

- AMRAP double unders x 20 mins
487. paced myself too much early, had to work hard at the end to get there. love this.

the inside of my right fingernail is now extremely tender. totally fine unless i apply any lateral pressure to it. since gripping involves fingers being together, no can grip. fuck.
