interesting question, never thought about it before. after looking at mayo clinic i'm pretty sure i haven't had anything that severe.
still, will switch to gatorade or equivalent during intense outdoor exercise and see if that makes a difference.

i think the caption for the last one on deadspin was, "dunk victim must now give up basketball, take up an instrument or something."
savage.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- skater jump x 20,20
- one-step RVJ x 5
*remove vest*
- DLRVJ dunk attempts x ~15
got a buddy to throw lobs. put one through the net but kind of bobbled the ball in, doesn't quite count. close on a few others. timing is hard. kind of messed up my shoulder on the 12th or 13th jump and couldn't get up quite as high after that so called it.
- one-on-one x 20 mins
i lost, lol. blame it on the tired legs.
gonna play tennis with my dad in a couple hours.
- tennis x 60 mins
whipped my dad, 6-1 (and the 1 was mostly unforced errors). this is as it should be, i'm 35 years younger than he is. it was hot as shit, i have a headache now. similar to one i got a few weeks back after sweating like crazy in the gym earlier in the day. i was vigilant about hydration today, too.

i think a lot of it is fake it 'til you make it. chick says no, you're crestfallen but out loud say, "cool," and inside say, "whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, her loss, her loss, her loss, her loss."

« on: July 29, 2016, 04:39:27 pm »You know what really grinds my gears?
Ordering online, I just recently ordered brotein powder and brake pads and rotors for my car. 3 days later I get emails for 20% off protein and this amount percent off the brakes with free shipping etc. etc. that I wont be able to use.
lol, i bought a chef's knife earlier this year and then got a bunch of ads for chef's knives. idiots, you think i'm gonna get a second one now? that i'm some kind of ambidextrous chopping machine?

Do you use knee sleeves? Also, did you feel your knees caving in towards each other at all?
nope, never have. no caving. i don't even really cave on max attempts.

« on: July 29, 2016, 04:37:30 pm »Any tips to work on self confidence in that regard... how where you able to change it? I'm also a wuss when it comes to talking to girls eventhough I look pretty decent.
Two main things, although I can't tell you what flipped the switch finally on either of them:
1. I stopped caring whether a woman I'm interested in is interested in me. If she is, wonderful. If not, okay.
2. I started actually believing that I'm attractive. People have told since I was in my early teens that I'm handsome. For the longest time, there was something blocking me from internalizing that. A little cockiness/vanity helps when it comes time to make a move.
Don't want to overemphasize the shift -- one the one hand, it's not like I'm Brad Pitt or anything, and on the other hand, I hooked up with and dated some attractive women over the years. Just never with the volume that I've had this year.

yeah i hadn't really been single as an adult until the last year. and i wasn't that self-confident as a younger dude. still a wuss in some ways, my buddy was making fun of me the other weekend for not wanting to go up to women at the bar we were at. i believe the quote was, "you're the best-looking dude in this bar but you have the self-confidence of a fourth grader." in my defense, that chick was a smoke show and i did end up going over to talk to her. nevertheless, i'm way more confident than i used to be and that has resulted in sex with a lot of different women. and lots of dates.
anyway, was rushed again last night. and tired, as i said.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee during squatting, in a weird new way
MENTAL STATE: out of it
- warm up
did some one-step jumps but height was so bad that i didn't press
- squat MSEM 305 x 4
felt like shit, knee hurt. got some power but felt unsteady. blah.
- fuck it
on the plus side, i got a full 8 hours of sleep last night. let the repairs begin.
