man i hope this is the worst this cold gets. went to the gym earlier, warmed up, did a few DLRVJ, but felt like my head was overstuffed or something. still feel wack, gonna take it easy tonight and try to get a lot of sleep.
ETA: can't remember the last time i had two serious colds in one year. must be getting old.

PR tie or perhaps even all-time PR by a hair. definitely the most jumps in one session over 35.5-36. got a couple good jumps on vid, will post in a minute.
My long winded response:
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Wow. Two prs in a couple weeks. Maybe you just measure your reach REALLY honestly cause your floaty jumps look about as high the claimed 40 inch jumps I see...
Criticism: Yeah the framing sucks.
thanks, and i think it's more likely that the claimed 40" leaps are lower than that, than that my jumps are 40". maybe it's just that you had the right idea with the set-up. also the weight vest.
also, dunno if you were trying to add emojis there or something but it just shows up as boxes for me.

sorry about the wack framing, the taller box that i normally use as a tripod was not available so i had to use a little box.

Serial is cool. The first season was about a murder case where a HS kid was convicted of killing his gf and sentenced to life in prison, but it's not at all clear that he did it.
Current season is about Bowe Berghdal. I'm not quite sure what the point is (that was kind of the problem in the first season, too, tbh) but it's such a hell of a story. And Sarah Koenig is a good reporter.

this is a cool vid. chick ends up squatting 300 @158. also, that's my old gym. the blond guy who pops up a couple times in the vids (he's spotting her at one point) is a 600+ squatter, 700+ DLer. strong as all fucking get-out.

i agree with merrick again, only thing i'll add is about ultimate: of course improving SLRVJ will help. skying for a catch or D (and always catch your Ds, of course) is always going to be quicker and easier off one leg, and if you can improve your efficiency at getting up off one it can only help. it's weird to even think about DLRVJ to high-point a disc in a game, outside of a "500" situation on a huck where everyone is slowing down into a clump. that happens, of course, and you're tall so i imagine people go to you deep on the regular, but much more often you're going to be trying to sky one on one, or on a swing that gets away from the throw, or something like that.
also, this is voodoo that i have no scientific basis for so take it with a grain of salt, but improving your SLRVJ will also improve your layouts, which of course are basically always SL because they are almost by definition done out of a full sprint.
if i ever go back to ultimate, i'd switch away from focusing on DLRVJ toward sprints and bounds, agility, and SLRVJ, in that order.

WEIGHT: 187.6 (171.6)
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: knees a little achey
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- SVJ x 5,5
~29, i think
- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg
- pogo x 10,10,10
- one-step DLRVJ x 5/plant + 2 LR
- three-step SLRVJ x a few
not great, not terrible.

just want to second what merrick said about working outward from a shorter approach, and focusing on accelerating into the plant.
