Ive never really thought abiut it like that. It is an interesting view point and probably has great merit but it just seems to pessimistic for me. I prefer to believe i am capable of whatever i set my mind to. Its been proven many times the mind is stronger than the body, we all have limits but do we reach them mentally (via stagnation, doubt, knowledge, etc) or do we actually reach a physical genetic limit?

i mean that's cool and all, but you have to remember that you are really, really gifted athletically. tell my toes that my mind should be stronger than this:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee; chest/throat cold
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- depth jump @26" x 5; 23" x 5,5,5
26" too high, knee started bothering me immediately and i wasn't even recovering above the height of the box. 23" more manageable.

- jump squat 50 x 5,5

- squat 285 x 1,2,1,2,1,2

- kroc row 80 x 16L,16R
weak. done in honor of janae marie kroc.

- stretch

being sick is lame.

Turns out Matt Kroczaleski has been transitioning to Janae Marie Kroc for the past year or so: http://www.outsports.com/2015/7/27/9049591/janae-marie-kroc-trans-powerlifter

how many of y'all have ever snatched more than this 69kg teenage girl?

a 5s eccentric sounds like hell on earth.

made my season debut in the majors. went 1-4 in the game by beating out an infield hit to first, had a couple of put-outs from somewhere in the infield (SS?). very exciting. i'd played a few games here and there in the previous couple of seasons but mostly stuck around in the minors. after the game a veteran came over to me and was asking me about myself, saying i looked like i had the stuff to stay in the bigs if i kept working hard.

after the game a friend of my ex-gf and i was driving me home and we were talking about her. apparently she was looking to date a guy who was kind of the opposite of me, and the friend named a guy as an example who's kind of a loser. i was flabbergasted. we drove by my ex-gf's house and a big group of people were gathered there. my ex had cut her hair short and dyed it dirty-blond -- not a great look. she could barely make eye contact with me and greeted me with a kind of sullen "hi." i was sad, didn't understand why we couldn't have a more normal interaction. the people were eating papaya and i was offered some but declined so i could get out of there.

fin.

not difficult to see where the inspiration comes from, given that i was watching a major league ballgame last night in the town where my ex lives.

you are a weird, weird dude scoob.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
did the t0ddday method out to three but jumps were not great. no point pushing it.

- depth jump @18" x 10,10

- rhythmic jump squat 55;65;75;85;95;75;65 x 5

- squat 200 x 2,2,2,2,2,2

- superset x 3
-- dip x 10
-- inverted row x 14
strongest inverted rows ever. the last few reps were hard but first two sets very solid.

- stretch

good workout.
