- shoot around x 45 mins
had a job interview (!) tonight for a gig in the philippines. i think it went pretty well. but it went late enough that i didn't have time for a full workout. so i'll just do it on saturday.

this morning:
WEIGHT: 172.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: stiff all over, right toe pretty bad,
MENTAL STATE: okay
- shoot around + layups x 20 mins
wearing glasses makes everything harder. i sort of couldn't believe how stiff and slow i felt, but i guess that's what happens at 7 AM. toe was bothering me a lot, even while walking. still glad i got up if only to get the juices flowing a little and refind the discipline to do it.

i have belatedly found that taking an extra second or two under the bar to make sure i'm really squeezing everything up top makes a huge difference. for me it doesn't take more than that, if i've just had the intention up front i'm better off. it's funny, i've been squatting more or less consistently for five years at least and there's still a LOT for me to learn about it.

^^^yes.
yesterday:
- hard run x 10 mins
was thinking about what acole said about 8 minute 95RPE runs. i structured my morning (and my friday night) around being able to go to the gym at 11 and it was occupied by gay dodgeball, which was frustrating. so i took it out on myself by running very hard for ten minutes. RPE was not 95, maybe like 85, in part because of red lights. 95RPE you really need a track.
- stretch
this morning:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe a lot, enough to impede movement sometimes
MENTAL STATE: mildly hung over
- warm up
- DLRVJ x ~15
not great but pretty solid considering how late i was out last night. a couple ~35+. and how much my toe was bothering me.
