running will interfere with lifting while you adapt. wouldn't worry about the weak HPC and squats (not that you were).

ab wheel is tough with soreness, for sure. good thing to stick with, though.

scooby! you finally got some good approaches and look what happens! those ARE full run-up jumps, my man. that's what it's supposed to look like.
btw do my eyes deceive me or are you repping my alma mater?

thanks guys. dunno what's up with the knee. it felt totally fine on my trip despite some moderately intense hiking, but this morning it's feeling a bit weird. not painful just...weird. i'll post a few pics later, the trip was amazing. the american southwest is pretty unreal. for the euro friends: if you're ever visiting the US for a decent-length trip, you get a LOT of bang for your buck flying to vegas and driving to the grand canyon, bryce, and zion national parks. i'd recommend escalante national monument and valley of fire state park really highly, as well. but GC, bryce and zion are just awe-inspiring.

some nice DOMS from the 225 rest-pause set.
also, 335/175=1.91. so that's a near-2xbw squat that went up smoothly without having focused on improving squat for more than a year. good to know, will probably use that as training max if/when i ever do a strength block again.
also, it's getting warm out. time to start sprinting and bounding again.

here is t0ddday and a buddy doing bounds. not alternating, but this gives an idea of what they should look like. DL bounds start at 0:34, SL bounds at 0:40. t0ddday is in red shorts.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImXLBmzCRXg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImXLBmzCRXg</a>
here's me doing alternating bounds. not very good, like you i am not applying much force to the ground, but i think i was more on the right track with these than you are in that video.

saturday:
- 7DVJC
omitted BSS
yesterday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle and right thumb
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- DLRVJ x a bunch
clean dunk of mini ball on first jump, pretty inconsistent after that. one other jump 35+ maybe 36.
- squat 335 x 1; 350 x F; 225 x 10+3+3+3
just for funsies because i'm about to go on vacation and not squat for a while. i think i could have made 350 if i'd felt like struggling.
- paused dip x 10+3+3+3
- pull up x 5,5,5,4
so interesting how dependent these are on frequency
- stretch
- KB SL RDL x 5,5/leg
- stretch
off to vegas, grand canyon, escalante, and bryce for the rest of the week. back sunday night. so pumped.

« on: March 28, 2015, 11:51:07 am »So i've lost about 7.5lbs average in 22 days which is a lil over 2lbs a week so I am on point and not bad for having a few weeks of mishaps and stalling.
Progress so far: legs, shoulders, arms are noticeably leaner and gut is when I dont have enough veggies in my stomach to equal the weight of a baby.

a TWENTY-MINUTE walk? you're being discouraged by a TWENTY-MINUTE walk? come on, man, there's no track club that takes adults within 45 minutes or an hour of where i live, and that's not much of a club just once-weekly lactate threshold training, basically. the closest real club i've heard of is an hour and a half away by car, and i don't have a car. if there were a track club a twenty-minute walk away i'd have gone full acole by now.

not that long, but i've been on the "directionless macrocycle" for a long time. need some direction.
no idea what's up with the knee, there's often some tiny discomfort in there but never anything like last night. it wasn't terrible, like i wasn't limping or anything, but it was definitely not allowing me to plant or project any power. fml.
