watching people get lapped in elite races is so nuts. the guy he passes is running a really, really fast 5k! he's one of the best in the world! and bekele blows by him like he's standing still.

there are some obvious differences. women are more likely to write about women, or have women as protagonists. and it's just interesting to experience the way women write about the world, even if a concrete sense of what that means eludes me for the most part.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: tib anterior
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: a little tired, otherwise good

- warm up
adarq has inspired me to up my jump rope game. did sets of 100 to warm up, last set was alternating five double unders and 20 singles.

- jump squat +10kg x 4

- SVJ x 4

- LTMP squat 185 x 15
wack, weight was not hard but felt off, perhaps something in low back subliminally telling me to stop. careful.

- paused dip x 10+3+3+3+3+3

- pull up x 8
just to balance out push/pull reps with last workout

- stretch

- jump rope x 200,200,200
one-minute rests. many mistakes first set (boo), no mistakes second set, one mistake third set. the thing that gets tired is posterior delts, and to a lesser extent wrist extensors.

DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch: pizza with spinach and pork sausage
dinner: pulled chicken, pasta, swiss chard, milk
other: 1-2 cups of coffee

Tennis / Re: Ball Machines
« on: November 02, 2015, 03:45:44 pm »
go talk to andre agassi. his dad invented a machine that would spit a ludicrous number of balls at his kids, at high speed. little andre, at like 6 years old, would have to hit the balls as soon as they bounced off the ground or they'd go over his reach. and that is why he was the greatest off-the-rise returner ever.

if you're looking for a book to read, his autobiography is great.

stuck on a light weight? dude you can barely handle that weight. if you cut back to 20kg it would not be too light.

you don't need to work on muscles specific to frisbee. weights are GPP, weights are GPP, weights are GPP. if you get stronger hands, arms, torso, and hips, you will have a bigger throwing engine.

on the jump rope are you just doing simple turns or are you doing any tricks or side-to-sides?

DOMS does not equal injury. if you feel truly injured that's one thing but if it's just soreness, suck it up and try again.

OTOH, be careful as you transition to barefoot-ish running. it really does completely change your gait, and therefore the way that you use your muscles and joints. you're better off starting with really low volume, doing start-stop runs (i.e. jog a bit, walk a bit), and building up very gradually.

jesus how is it already november?

- walk x 4 miles

later:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: tib anterior
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: antsy

- KB TGU x 2,2,2,2/side

- other random KB messing about: snatches, cleans, OHP, suitcase DLs

my KB is 35lbs. should be using it more. would be nice to get proficient at TGUs and cleans and snatches. swings i can obviously already do. but good cardio, good core/coordination/tension-relaxation work.

- mobilizations

DIET
breakfast: smoothie, cup of coffee
lunch: chipotle
dinner: pulled chicken, bean salad, cup of milk
other: a few dark chocolate-covered almonds

SLEEP
7.5 hours, woke up once to pee but went right back to sleep

good question, and you know, not really. i've read lots of different kinds of books and haven't really been looking for differences. some of the best books i've read in the past year have been by women, though, in different genres:

- ghettoside, by jill leovy (reportage about the neglect by police and the courts of violent crime in black communities in LA)
- gilead, by marilynne robinson (Serious Novel)
- the talented mr. ripley, by patricia highsmith (fun thriller)
- the warmth of other suns, by isabel wilkerson (history of the great migration)
- wolf hall, by hilary mantel (read for the second time, one of the best novels i've ever read)

internet died a couple of days ago, hence the journaling gap. was out too late last night at a halloween party but i didn't drink much (4 beers over the course of 5 hours) so on balance not too much harm done. will go out again tonight but probably not stay out so late and continue to keep the booze moderate.

in non-fitness news: i read a lot -- at least 20 books a year since college and usually more than 25 -- but i counted up last august and realized that only 25% or so of the books i'd read over the previous 4+ years were by women. no good excuse for that, so i decided to read nothing but women for the rest of the year and afterward try to keep the balance 50/50. i've read 47 books since then (35 in 2015 so far) and 28.5 of them are by women. just picked up 48 and 49, both by women. good job, me.
