i don't get psoas DOMS, no. as far as how effective they are...dunno. i'm doing them because t0ddday told me to.
not sure how you'd know psoas hypertrophy was working because they're entirely buried.

MORNING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right posterior delt, right wrist extensors
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee, right toe
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- skater jumps x 20,20
- one-step RVJ x 5,5
- DLRVJ x 10
awful, topped out at maybe 31.5, several abortions in there. the vest really fucks with my form, knees want to travel forward. would have kept going but the preschoolers arrived. as i adapt to mornings i can get there a bit earlier and do more, but i'm still a bit slow to warm up.
EVENING
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: right posterior delt, right wrist extensors
ACHES/INJURIES: both knees
MENTAL STATE: shaky, weird
- warm up
- MB OH toss x 6
PR, hit ceiling on fifth throw
- bound-bound-jump x 3,3,3,3,3
- paused speed squat 285
brain shut down, could not even start a working rep. dropped to 225 and brain still would not start the rep. mental weakness, i think if i'd had a partner there i would have at least tried a rep. very strange feeling, i love squatting, but a couple of times in the last couple of weeks it's just felt awful. knee discomfort had something to do with it, i think.

- tennis x one hour
played against my cousin, who is 19 and a girl but was regionally ranked as a junior before she got to college and stopped playing seriously. i am bigger, stronger, and faster than she is, but i'm a hacker. she beat me 6-4. much rust on both our parts. very fun. will play her again.

LAST NIGHT
had beginning of severe headache, took migraine medication and did not attempt to exercise. once i was sure i was in the clear i foam rolled and stretched.
today is day 1 of trying morning/evening split for jumps/strength. not the best day to start maybe because i have a call at 7:30 that i hope is a job offer and have a commitment tonight that i can't get out of. will try to get out of work early.
MORNING
WEIGHT: 189.6 (???)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none, hurray
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
took extra time because of the hour.
- skater jump x 20,20
- one-step RVJ x 5; two-step, three-step x 1
- DLRVJ x 5
higher than i expected, three around 32, two around 31.5. okay.
had to cut it off there,will continue this afternoon if i can. skipped out of work an hour early. go me.
EVENING
forgot to wear vest.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee
MENTAL STATE: very good
- warm up
- one-step RVJ x 2; two-step, three-step x 1
- DLRVJ x 15
pretty good if inconsistent. hit 35 a few times at least, dunked the little soccer ball. had a random guy who was shooting around on the other basket throw me a few lobs but the timing wasn't quite right and i probably wasn't getting quite high enough anyway. one of those attempts went through the hoop but it went up first, very much not a dunk.
- bound-bound-jump x 3,3,3
31-32 on all
- paused speed squat 285 x 5,5
no vest, upped weight. "speed" is a relative term. these were solid but not very fast.
- deficit DL 315 x 5,1
worried about lower back, cut off second set. form was off, grip too close or something.
- hip thrust 315 x 15,15
- DB push press 55s x 10,8
i will get that second 10 if it kills me.
- DB row 70 x 20/each
- decline sit up +35 x 8,8

that's an interesting point. i usually eat at least one banana per day as part of a smoothie, but i've been switching it up a little and even skipped a few breakfasts. dunno enough about potassium metabolism to know whether it's enough to make a difference.
