tbh im more intrigued by ideas i feel strongly about (positive or negative)..

as are most people...

so just cos i hate something doesn't mean i wont eventually fall in love with them and vice versa (front squats and half deadlifts aka rdls) but whatevs .. ya'll over-reacting. why can feynman call an idea dopy or dumb and still engage it but without implying any judgement of the person who said it. acole put me onto TENS units and for that im ever grateful but apologises all round.

can't speak for others but i was specifically referring to your bizarre assertion that touching the backboard is "different from anything you'd do athletically". that doesn't make sense! not even a little bit of sense! i am very curious how that thought formulated itself in your head!

confession; im not dealing well with coming off this diet. my appetite is insatiable, i want to keep eating and eating .. not good.

sounds very unpleasant.

interesting point. it's not really lat growth i'm after with these -- i'm not really after growth at all but if it's for anything i'm concerned with upper back, i.e. traps and posterior delts. so the slightly elevated torso seems to get the stimulus i want, at least by feel. like this:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yeykhcQs0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yeykhcQs0</a>

any further thoughts on doing 'em that way more than welcome.

WEIGHT: 187.8 (172.0)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee tweaking a little
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10,10

- one-step RVJ x 5 + 3
with vest + without

- DLRVJ x ~15
got a dude to throw a few lobs but he was terrible at it. back ironed one with the left hand and one with the right and that was as close as it got. hit 37 without the ball, though. glad i cut yesterday off!

- squat 330 x 1; MEBM 185 x 20

- superset x 3
-- pull up x 1,2,3
-- dip x 1,2,3
vest on

great workout!

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right trap feels a little sticky for some reason, nbd just weird
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 20

- one-step RVJ x 3+1
vest on + removed

- DLRVJ x 20
a little inconsistent but hit >36 several times, felt fluid and springy. pretty good.

decided to call it a workout and see if i can jump high tomorrow, too. in any event i'll do the rest of the workout tomorrow.

how gassed are you at the end of a run like that (5k @ 20:30)? just wonder if you'd be helped by upping mileage a bit. seems like your overall volume is low even for middle distance. maybe aerobic base just isn't solid enough?

i really wish this song didn't celebrate racists (the reference to "southern democrats" for you foreigners). fuck it's a great song.

[paging t0ddday, paging t0ddday]

advice: don't just show up at a track and do a track session. if you do, 100m is not "the shortest" unless you're a distance runner or something. 30m and 60m work can be valuable.

but why do you want to do it?

yeah lighter shoes, like cross country racing flats, tend to be cheaper. you can get a good pair for ~$50, and if you dig around a bit probably for $35 on sale. they're worth saving up for even if that's a stretch for you. i think i speak for a lot of members of the forum when i say that shoes really do make a difference.

some examples:
-nike zoom waffle racer (preferred shoe of adarqui himself for many years)
-adidas adizero takumi
-mizuno wave musha (i have had several pairs of these, love them, ran in them last night)
-saucony kilkenny
-new balance xc700
