you don't need to be that strong to throw a frisbee far. technique matters MUCH more. much more. lifting weights can't hurt but it's not gonna make nearly as big a difference as practicing throws.

dunno if you know ultimate rob but he's got some good vids up about improving distance and technique. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL684D1A669065ACB0

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: right wrist (?)
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- squat 260 x 7,5,3,5,7

- assisted natural GHR x 8,5
focusing on slowest, most controlled descent possible, using hands at last second. challenging.

- stretch

bret contreras imagines that he can get valid readings about muscle activation from applying electrodes to people's butts more or less at random. that's not to say any individual thing he writes is wrong, but he's a hacky internet guru like so many others. take what he writes with a grain of salt.

went skydiving today. A++++ so fun, worth every cent. my third jump. got home too late to do a real workout so i ran for 20 minutes, did some KB swings and x-band walks, and stretched. also spent about 30 minutes doing SMR and stretching this morning while i waited for my friend to pick me up.

that video is scary man. don't use a weight if you can't handle it safely. and yeah, the chair is too close.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: lower traps a little
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: frustrated

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a couple
crap SVJ, barely 30, then good off one step (33), meh off two (~33.5), crap off three (33-34) and i stuck at three for most of the time. did a couple of full run-ups but they suuuuucked. my head hurt.

- DB jump squat 35s x 3,3,3

- ME pogo x 8,8,8

- stretch

just so bad. my problem is this: i have no progressive overloading in my program right now. i'm literally not progressing on anything. i'm just doing a bunch of stuff and trying to do it "explosively" every time. that is a recipe for wheel-spinning, and sure enough i'm back spinning my wheels or even regressing. i need a damn coach, someone to just force me to into a path with a clear progression. where is lance.

last night did a 30-minute feldenkrais session. something about linking pelvis and neck. not the greatest. gonna keep trying 'em out though.

tonight:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left hamstring a little, near my butt
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- MB OH throw 20 x 5,5,5

- bunch of crap, legs dead, missing layups all over the place, hamstring felt weird, decided it wasn't worth trying ME jumps. today was supposed to be conditioning and i got a little of that but weak.

- superset x 5
-- dips x 10
-- inverted row x 10

- stretch

another crappy workout. yay.

he's so close to what i think would be the coolest dunk ever: gracefully passing the ball through until you're hanging elbow-in-rim, but holding on to the ball all the way.
