ACHES/INJURIES: none
SORENESS: right forearm (hello tennis)
MENTAL STATE: good

- hike x a bit more than an hour
very steep up, very steep down in the margalla hills. one of my friends was feeling sick so we cut it off early. now finally going to check out the gym near my place that i've been meaning to go to since i moved in.

EDIT: the gym is a 7-8 minute walk from my house, no major roads involved, and has multiple squat racks. insane. there was no one there to sign me up but i'm gonna call tomorrow to find out when i can join.

tight.

an hour of singles with a new friend from the british council and then half an hour of doubles with him plus a guy from the high commission and a pakistani guy whose dad is the club coach. he was very good. i was the weakest player on the court at all times and rusty as hell but that's great, means i can get better. felt a little bit in my right knee and my toes and i'm going to be sore tomorrow. happy, though.

unrelated: did not get enough sleep last night due to bed company.

How's Pakistani tinder?  :trollface:

UNTRUSTWORTHY.

will stick to face-to-face meetings here thank you very much. there's no real dating here, everything is people meeting in groups and then pairing off from there. feels a bit like high school in that way.

you think pistol squats hit the VMO hard enough though?

varies from person to person. for real isolation your best options are TKEs and SL machine leg extensions while concentrating on firing your VMO. externally rotating your leg a bit and palpating the muscle can both help get it to fire.

ACHES/INJURIES: none
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- deck of cards
clubs=squats x 2, spades=toe-touch crunches, hearts=chair push ups, diamonds=band pull-aparts

- SVJ x 8,8

just trying to adjust my internal clock so i can be getting up earlier. once my running shoes get here i think i'll start running some mornings.

evening

- pistol x 5,5/leg

- shrimp squat x 10,10/leg

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- drop-step jump x 4,4/leg
way submax, floor is marble and very slipper

- circuit x 2
-- SL reverse hyper x 20/leg
-- SL bent leg reverse hyper x 20/leg
-- leg lower x 20

- stretch

hidden benefit of not being able to really train: the constant, low-grade pain that i've been living with in my left hip and right knee -- for so long that i don't even journal them -- seem to have reduced dramatically. didn't even notice until i went to do pistols today.

weird. exact opposite for me. wearing it around and warming up with and then taking it off felt like putting on rocket boots. got like a 2" boost on DLRVJ, which is like 6%. pretty big effect, for me the difference between getting high enough to dunk and not. just wearing it to warm up had no effect.
