21 September 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~193,5
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none?

Starting Strength - workout #28

SQUATS:
5@143 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
5@143 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
5@143 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
-Very nice. No quad bugging + good form.

SEATED OHP:
5@110 lbs ( same )
4@110 lbs ( same )
5@110 lbs ( same )
11@82,5 lbs
-Better than last time but 3d time failing to do 3x5 at that weight , deload.
15 rep finisher failed too, barely grinded the 11th rep.

DEAD HANG CHINUPS:
9@Bodyweight ( +1 rep ):personal-record:
7@Bodyweight ( -1 rep )
6@Bodyweight ( same )
Total = 22 ( same )
-I have done 9 chinups again in the past but they were not dead hang and bodyweight was 190 so  :personal-record:
Had to pay the price for that though, got too tired and could not improve the total reps number.

20 September 2012

At the park for ~1 hour, shooting around uptempo. Quad at 90 or 95%. Tons of sweat. Had just rained so no chance of RVJs.
Did a couple SVJs at the end in ultra fatigued state, they were horrible , barely touching rim ( ~25'' ).

gay people aren't a minority? what planet do you live on? is greece like 70% gay or something? can gay people get married there? can they adopt children? is there absolutely no discrimination against them, in the workplace or elsewhere? do they, in fact, enjoy the advantages of being the group in power? and yes, one can say when you're over the border. it's when the group you are denigrating is an oppressed group, and you are in a group of power relative to that group. you and i are straight white men. we are ALWAYS in a group of power.

What i meant was that in my mind they are undiscriminated. But i am wrong, because indeed the discriminations are adjective so the point is not what I think and treat them, but how the society and ( even worse ) the law does. So i was totally wrong here and the above paragraph is right on target.

also, i think you misunderstood me. calling something gay makes the world worse for gays. calling someone a pussy makes the world worse for women. it's the same principle. pussy is worse.

On the contrary , i wanted to make sure i got you right because i had this in mind:

good work on the @home PR's vag, jumping looks good lately.

don't let the fear hold you back, vag. your cervical vertebrae can take it.

my cns shuts me down with that stuff too, very hard for me to hit my head on my 8' ceiling.. body won't let me.


you gaping vaginas.

of course, while playing catch today i got spooked jumping up for a disc that was kind of near the net. just let it go by.

so, um, i guess it takes one to know one.

 :uhhhfacepalm:

Gotcha! Although i must admit it was pretty gay of me to trap you into that!  :-*


I still believe that calling something gay is not connected to the gay community anymore, i believe it has lost the etymological origin. I was, and i still am NOT trying to prove you wrong, i wanted to share some thoughts about it because i truly believe it is grey area. I am surprised a bit from your persistance to put it out of the grey, although you do see my point. You say "gay" moves towards that direction, i say its there allready. Why do i have to be wrong? Again , i am not saying i am not wrong , i am saying i think its not adjectively determinable. Maybe your agression/persistance in the issue derives from your sensitivity which i said i will respect, and so will i. I stop now. Sorry if i took it too long.

Yeah, we don't really disagree. I had 'nigger' in my mind as the extreme example that proves me wrong. In the end it's all about what i said, where you put the borderline.  Imho, the borderline of symbolic or direct translation of the insult is defined by the racism the society shows to the specific people group. You could see the 'gay' calling with different perspective , legalizing it's use shows an acceptance to them. They are not a minority or a racism subject, so it's innocent and safe to use it. It's all grey there as i said , noone can really say when you are beyond the border. It is a matter of personal sensitivity. In some cases it is more adjective and in other it is more subjective. Wether gay and their current acceptance in the community is adjective or not , i am unsure. To make my point clear , i don't understand why calling someone gay makes the world worse for gays while calling someone a pussy does not make the world worse for women.
Meh , too much debate about something we actually agree and is also very much off-topic.

Have you tried straight leg deadlifts? If so, do they load your hams better than RDLs?

As i said recently i get much more hamstring soreness after straight leg DLs but i have to go much, MUCH lighter. So i prefer to stick with the RDLs: They target my hamstrings very well too and i also take advantage of the heavier load, training back, grip, core etc.

By the way - it came a guy today in the park that for some reason makes me think of you. I have no idea why. He's got a "calmness" about him... I'm not sure why I'm attributing that and correlating it to you, vag.

Wtf I'm a weird kind of guy ain't I?

Hahahahaha! Good to know i emit 'calmness', that is how i am indeed! No doubt that you are a weirdo though!  :P

19 September 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~193,5
Soreness : chest, glutes, biceps, shoulders(?)
Injuries/aches : none  ;D

Starting Strength - workout #27

ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS:
5@242lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
5@242lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
3@242lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -2 reps )
-Fuck, lost grip at last set again.

BICEPS EZ-BAR CURLS:
12@76 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
11@76 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -1 rep )
9@76 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -3 reps )
-First set very strong, last two burnout.

TRICEPS PUSHDOWNS:
12@70,5 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
10@70,5 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -2 reps )
8@70,5 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -4 reps )
-Same thing here, first set very strong, last two burnout.

Then did 'kellyb stretch' and IT band foam rolling. Did that yesterday too but forgot to log.
Quad is better every day. Today it doesn't bug at all but resisted the temptation of doing cleans. Next week if all go well.

Edit:
I was looking at some RDL videos and i am confused about the legit depth of the movement. My ROM is just a bit lower than this, a couple of inches below knee:



Should i go lower or am i ok?

dislike gay slurs and the use of "gay" as an insult. please to be using them elsewhere but not here.

BULLSHIT!
That's hypocritical and too politicaly correct. Ive got nothing against gays. It is the same like calling someone a pussy, it does not make you a mysoginist and does not mean you inimidate women etc etc etc. Of all people i thought you would be more open minded. I do understand how you see it, i just believe that some expressions lose their etymological origin, just like the pussy example i mentioned! We could argue about how clear that borderline is though, i'll give you that.
Anyway it's your journal and i will respect your personal sensitvity on the subject, not being sarcastic or mocking here, true talk.


will spend some time at work today procrastinating by making a spreadsheet so i can track shit a la The Bearded Statistician. i love his weight chart.

The australian front squatter ain't got shit on me, this is how you do it ( 2,5 years ago ) :

Basketball / Re: drose faster than usain bolt?

Wrong thread , wrong topic , wrong humor.

When i had a badly sprained ankle i would go to the gym with it taped and wearing firmly tied high-top bbal sneakers.
I could squat ok, it bugged a little on deadlifts. But each sprain is different. Tape it , wrap it good , go to the gym and try a few excercises to see what you can do. If you can't do anything , you can't maintain strength either.

Midgets in basketball piss me off.  I am pretty short myself at 5'9 but midgets below 5'5 feel the need to play very aggressive to compensate for their height.  I should have picked this midget up and threw him at the glass window.

If you were a troll you would be an awesome one! Unluckily for us and you , you are not!  :uhhhfacepalm:

Yeah , not enough squating in here. Both MSEM and eXpLoZiF squats are more worthy stim-wise. If you insist on having the BSS instead of squat for the volume exercise, you could maybe change the MSEM variant, go for 2 sets of 4 singles and up the weight on the 2nd set.
OR you could do those 8 singles but waveload them and chase a PR somewhere in there. Something like the Verkoshansky's MSEM 2nd variant, he calls for 6 sets of 2-3 reps but you get the picture.


Variant 2 - Much more intense:
Parameters:

Sets: Wave loaded
Reps: 2-3 (rest between reps)
Intensity:

Set 1: 90%
Set 2: 95%
Set 3: 100%
Set 4: 95%
Set 5: 100%
Set 6: Attempt PR

Ah, how nice, a whole page with fancy styling and a lot of smartass talking to tell us that you have the same goals and that you are going to do exactly what you were doing so far.


Jokes aside , i think it is very solid and i also think you like doing that scheme. Whatever else you tried, you tended to stop it after a few sessions, this one 'fits' you well. Its proven to work too since you had great progress, both in the weightroom and on the wooden court.
So keep it up, you don't change a team that's winning!  :highfive:

PS: How much time does it take you to complete that workout? Looks really long!
