Bodybuilding / Re: stomach vacuum/waist thickness
« on: January 16, 2017, 11:21:34 pm »
also 34 isn't that big a waist. chill.

also be careful of herniating yourself, my friend was trying to get me to do some yoga version of stomach vacuum the other day and my groin did not like it.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger fucked in a new way today, right knee mildly
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: fine

- warm up

- bench

decided to take the AELS route and not test my knee. then went to bench and the new way in which my right finger seems to be injured prevented me from even gripping the empty bar properly. same went for pull up bar. bagged it.

Nice! You seem to be pretty close overall... I'm way off haha. Waist (big obliques/erectors but also fat) and especially legs way too big. Arms too small.  :uhcomeon:

lol yeah except for my little guns.

slept for something like 9.5-10 hours last night, way past my alarm. guess i needed it. knee still feels a little angry but i'm gonna try squatting tonight anyway. if it feels off i'll just do leg press instead and then the rest of my workout. beach work is definitely happening.

following a comment in leonel's journal, here's that greek proportions thing that joe posted in the OG era: http://www.fitness.com/tools/greek_proportions/.

here's what i've got now (diff from "ideal" measurements in parentheses):

wrist: 6.8"
chest: 42.4" (-1.8")
forearm: 12.0" (-0.8")
waist: 31.5" (+0.6")
thigh: 23.7" (+0.3")
hip: 37.7" (+0.1")
calf: 15.5" (+0.5")
biceps: 13.8" (-2.2")
neck: 15.0" (-1.4")

fwiw i think a little bloated from huge breakfast, waist was 31" even the last time i measured. so, same as ever: legs close to greek ideal according to some random website. chest, neck and especially arms skinny.
i feel good about my current project to get slightly more swole.

last night:

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger fucked
SORENESS: soleus a little
MENTAL STATE: fine

- warm up

- pistol x 5,5/leg

- shrimp squat x 10/leg

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- ME SVJ x 6,6

- DSVJ x a few
there's a doorway at my friend's place that i can slap, she's moving out soon but reminds me that finding something to measure progress against is good, even if i'm not focused on jumping right now.

- AMRAP double unders x 10 mins
~270, lost count briefly at the beginning so don't know exact number. pace obviously higher than thursday. my soleus/calves are sore today.

- stretch

+1 bodies are fascinating. i've literally never felt heavy in the way y'all are describing. my adult weight has stayed within a range of 15 pounds at the most extreme (as low as 165 when i've been sick or adjusted to a completely new living environment and routine, and as high as 180 when i was doing starting strength), and generally within five pounds/2kg (171-176 or so).

i am, to be perfectly blunt, worried you're going to hurt yourself with the amount of volume you're doing.

^^^didn't feel sick, felt like a minimum. once i can consistently do sets of 20 that number will go up quick. at the moment sets of 10 are very easy, and i can usually get to 20 but sometimes crap out after 17-18. would be cool to get 1000 in 20 mins, that'll probably require sets of 40.

also i need a longer rope, i can do criss-crosses with the one i have but only barely. the short one is good for double-unders, though. shoulders down and relaxed, jaw relaxed, bounce. i love jumping rope.

158, damn that's a lot for you! but if it comes with strenf that you can maintain to an extent while getting back toward 150, worth it.

Had a few beers PWO with dinner and was a really relaxing night.

+1 for this. i had a few friends over last night to play a game and drink some wine. relaxation is good.

I thought it was just like a piece of thread or something stuck to my back but it's not.  I have just 1 hair on my back and it's probably a good 5 inches long or more.  Fucking weird.

that is hilarious. bodies are weird.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: kind of tired

- warm up

- pistol x 5,5/leg

- shrimp squat x 10,10/leg
focus on sitting back

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- AMRAP double unders x 20 mins
got to 474. lots of mistakes at the beginning but settled down eventually. this was a nice little workout, not too challenging cardiovascularly but got HR up a little and easy to measure.
