haha merrick that's nuts. and you know, i had the same thought about doing too many things at once, but i have been writing it off in my head as excuse-making. maybe you're right, though.

i think i'll probably just stick with my normal daily caffeine for now but maybe it's worth looking into stims for when i try to PR.

just did an unintentional fast and it gave me a headache. i do think it makes sense for me to try it as i try to cut a few pounds, though. full meal > half meal.

What do you think are the major advantages that aerobic training offers over intervals? The articles I have seen comparing intervals to aerobic exercise are generally heavily in favor of intervals. Do you training aerobically because you think it will have more carryover to tennis or another goal you have?

^^^no doubt, thanks for the tips. i'm gonna try sheer willpower first, if that doesn't work then we'll see what's up with supps.

WEIGHT: ??? (???)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right mid back, SI joint a bit -- both went away with warm up, but then i got a headache
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x ~12
got a dude to try throwing me a few lobs, maybe did 7-8 attempts. no idea how close i was on the couple of tosses that seemed pretty good, although given that i got a violent dunk with the size 3 soccer ball on my first jump i know i was getting pretty high, PR-tie levels. first time ever asking someone to throw lobs so i feel good about it. head started killing me after the third or fourth jump.

the headache was triggered, i'm pretty sure, by having three cups of coffee without food before working out. the timing of the day got screwed up because of some damn event in the gym, didn't end up eating until after i worked out, so around 2 PM. not ideal. i feel out of it now.

yeah but i'm trying to lose a decent amount of fat in just two weeks and then go back to normal. i tried to eat way under maintenance yesterday and failed. new respect for dieters, especially long-term dieters. it's funny, i've been interested by and reading about this stuff for years now but trying it for myself is a different story. no shit, i guess.

if i can ask, why are you going on a diet? you're pretty lean.

last night:

WEIGHT: 189 (174)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee
MENTAL STATE: dead

- warm up

- SVJ x 5,5

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- pogo x 10,10,10 + SL x 6/leg

- rest of workout

just felt very dead. also i think i either am undercounting calories or overestimated how much i burn in a typical day. never really tried to diet before, i kind of thought it'd be a cinch but it looks like if i really do want to lose weight i'll have to make some actual changes other than cutting out sweets. this should come as a surprise to no one, myself included. new target is 1700kcal/day, including 180g of protein. that leaves roughly 1000kcal from fats and carbs. okay.

^^^9.3oz is heavy, part of the reason adarq started wearing NSWRs is because of how light they are. i realize that 4-5oz difference doesn't seem like much but it's on your feet. i feel totally different in clunkier shoes and so have been wearing as light as possible shoes for years now.

jesus h. christ. stuff like that is what i always think with the calisthenics people: oh, that's neat. every single olympic or even national-level gymnast can do all that stuff in their sleep.

smart. smart smart smart. i have a 401k through work (have since i was 21) but only really started feeding into it a few years ago. i only put in $4800/year but i'm about to get a huge raise* and will both bump my contribution to the 401k (or i may roll it into a roth IRA, need to talk to someone about that) and start contributing to a non-retirement index fund portfolio.

*got promoted, and think i'll get promoted again and then be working overseas and not paying federal income taxes...heyooooo.
