interesting that your experience with the weight vest is that chronic use is less effective. the one published study i've seen on weight vests and potentiation found the opposite, i.e. that acute potentiation (wearing it to warm up and then taking it off) was minimal to nonexistent, but chronic potentiation (wearing it around for days at a time and then taking it off after warming up) did have a significant positive effect. my own experience was of the latter.

y'all it is going to be hard to work out here. might need to shift to AM workouts because i'm going to have some late nights as a matter of course. tonight i'm just going to drink.

set my alarm for 6:30 AM, let's see if i can get myself out of bed and do something meaningful.

Officials estimate that 5 million people showed up to the Chicago Cubs parade and rally Friday, making it the 7th largest gathering in human history.

as someone said on twitter, i would read the hell out of a longform piece by someone who watched game 7 with bartman.

super blown, thought i was going to get to play ultimate tonight but getting into the diplomatic enclave is stupid. i'm fucking american, but i can't even get to my own embassy without some kind of extra stupid fucking little access card thing that i don't have yet. i don't even need an american card! could be british, or french! bah.

gonna go do something less fun in the gym now.

EDIT

ACHES/INJURIES: none
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: hungry but otherwise fine

- warm up
jump rope + joint circles + walking mobilizations

- skater jump x 20,20

- split-hurdle jumps x 4 sets
from that video adarq posted of the woman high jumper in the park. looked like fun. kind of uncoordinated but i'll keep doing these from time to time.

- one-step RVJ x 5,5

- GMB wrist mobilizations

- superset x 3,5,7,5,3
-- pull up
-- dip

- lunge x 72,72
did much shorter steps on the second set. great glute pump, kind of felt it in posterior knee. will stick to longer steps.

- stretch

thanks for the link. gotta start humble, per usual.

SORENESS: glutes a little, abs, traps
ACHES/INJURIES: right wrist during handstands, damn it
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
superset x 5 of jump rope 60s + joint circles

- handstand practice x a couple
my wrist is going to prevent me from really working on these. shit.

- jump rope 120/60 x 3
tough on grip, left hand was cramping on the last set. might make this the focus for a while: building up to 12 rounds of 180/60. should be easier once i get my own ropes, which are stuck with the rest of my stuff in lahore.

- stretch
