ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
SORENESS: hamstrings
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- pull up x 8,8,8
frustrated that i'm not getting better at these faster. oh well, keep at it. i think, not for the first time, that i'm just built for pushing rather than pulling.

- bench 77.5 x 8,8,8
wrecked these. there was a kind of jacked bro working in with me doing set of 5 partial reps @80 with ugly/twisted form and i got competitive. he was mirin.

- kroc row 36 x 16L, 18R
back was tweaking a little from the rotation. careful.

- TTB x 10,10
straps

- trap bar DL 150 x 1; 180 x 0
there was a dude repping out 180s and i miscounted the weight, was curious whether i could pull it. 150 went up pretty strong but 180 didn't even break the floor. obviously. that would have been a massive lifetime PR. counting is hard 

- superset x 2
-- DB curl 10s x 10
-- DB shrug 36s x 10
-- tricep pressdown 45 x 10

- stretch

knee still a little sensitive so resting. could have squatted today and been fine.

also i lost my jump rope. damn it.

Thought on Pelicans acquiring DMC via trade??

curious how they'll make the twin towers thing work, boogie and davis could complement or clog each other. interesting challenge for the coaches in NO.

sacramento isn't getting much but maybe it's as good as they could have gotten for an unhappy star who'd wanted to move for a long time. tbh i haven't followed closely enough this year to know how stacked the draft is, so not sure how much value the kings are likely to get out of that pick.

it was a bit much. fml. 

back to your regularly scheduled programming.

yep, ultimate frisbee. fun sport, used to play competitively, sprained my ankle six times, got fed up, retired. just started playing again after moving to islamabad just as a way to meet people. quality is similar to gym class but it's fun.

Hows the Ultimate scene in Pakistan? Do you go to different pickups or just the one? Is there a more competitive level of play there like a worlds team or is Ultimate something people do entirely for fun? Do you teach people a ton of stuff about frisbee to get it past "gym class" quality, or are you content to just play around and chat people up?

there's only one pickup game in islamabad that i know of, would be shocked if there were another. there is no competitive play here at all. there may be in other cities but i don't think so, it's really just an expat (white) sport. the skill level apparently waxes and wanes over time -- one of the guys who founded the pickup game here is a former sockeye player, but he's long gone. i've tried a bit to get people to do the basics better, e.g. form a stack and run something approximating the stanford offense, but like half the people don't even know what a force is. and i'm content to just run around amongst the chaos.

isn't that good old rutgers dunker?

+1 good review.
