one thing and another and this week has just been exercise-free since tuesday's aborted workout. for the first time in a long time, i don't feel bad about missing a few days. back doesn't hurt, knees don't hurt. will rest today, too -- going to a baseball game straight from work -- but back on the horse tomorrow morning.

wait they had you do a mile, and then separately do a mile and a half?

legs felt very tired last night and still pretty tired today. was gonna lift tonight but will rest instead.

i think the caption for the last one on deadspin was, "dunk victim must now give up basketball, take up an instrument or something."

savage.

20 days is awesome, where are you going?

i think a lot of it is fake it 'til you make it. chick says no, you're crestfallen but out loud say, "cool," and inside say, "whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, her loss, her loss, her loss, her loss."

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little (this is a bad trend)
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 3,3
33-34, pretty good

- DLRVJ x 3,3,3,3
not great at first so switched to submax sets of three. gonna go for PRs tomorrow, will see if i can get a buddy to throw lobs.

- daily routine x 0.5

Do you use knee sleeves?  Also, did you feel your knees caving in towards each other at all?

nope, never have. no caving. i don't even really cave on max attempts.

yeah i hadn't really been single as an adult until the last year. and i wasn't that self-confident as a younger dude. still a wuss in some ways, my buddy was making fun of me the other weekend for not wanting to go up to women at the bar we were at. i believe the quote was, "you're the best-looking dude in this bar but you have the self-confidence of a fourth grader." in my defense, that chick was a smoke show and i did end up going over to talk to her. nevertheless, i'm way more confident than i used to be and that has resulted in sex with a lot of different women. and lots of dates.

anyway, was rushed again last night. and tired, as i said.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squatting, in a weird new way
MENTAL STATE: out of it

- warm up
did some one-step jumps but height was so bad that i didn't press

- squat MSEM 305 x 4
felt like shit, knee hurt. got some power but felt unsteady. blah.

- fuck it

on the plus side, i got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. let the repairs begin.
