how can you be better at pull ups than dips? i can do like 2-3x as many dips as pull ups. and you have long arms!

i've always been very bad at dips.. for most of my life i couldn't even do them.. then finally i got 'strong' and eventually got up to 15-20 or so iirc. i've always been good at pullups (and most "pulls") though. I'm naturally better at deadlifting than squatting, rowing than pressing, etc.

right now, i'm doing neutral grip so those are much easier than pronated grip.. maybe that is to blame slightly.

pC!

bodies are so interesting. i think if i completely detrained for a year i could still do 10 dips.

First time I’ve ever done a full squat clean. Was mildly impressed at my ability to hit myself in the face with the bar with 50kgs on it  .

LOL

@raptor: maybe try distracting yourself while you run? if you don't want to listen to music (i don't like listening to music while i run, generally), try multiplying big numbers together or try to figure out all the words you can make out of the letters of a long word. your body knows how to run if you let it, i bet.

Coges's journal reminded me that I'm slacking on my Feldenkrais practice. Gotta get that in a couple times a week. Feet, ankles, hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and neck could all benefit.

adarq if you're still in here, thoughts about that set-up? my only worry now is that it's kind of neither fish nor fowl, i.e. i'm still trying to do a little of everything.

considering LTMP squats on Day 4, for potentiation purposes. airborn's recent comment about them reminded me that they can feel great.

Im hoping a 405 at 185 does for me Granted I am extremely reactive from what I can tell judging from my stats before ever lifting.

fixed.

where do you play?

also, where did that guy play in college? what a beast.

thanks chris. i think i'm okay at warming up by now but otherwise that actually looks pretty interesting. i think i'll do something along those lines, with secondary goals of lowering sprint times and increasing squatting weight. may add some tempo to the track day, as well. one problem is that i'm never quite sure when the court will be free. the last couple of weeks it's been free almost every night but i don't know how long that'll last. a bit hard to plan for.

Day 1 - max effort jumps; jumping assistance; upper
Day 2 - heavy swing + squat jump; squat ladders; squat assistance
Day 3 - bounds; sprints; tempo
Day 4 - submax jumps; jumping assistance

monday - tuesday/wednesday - thursday - saturday/sunday

also i haven't weighed myself in a while but if i've changed more than 1 pound from the last time i weighed myself i'll eat a lemon.

tonight:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none to speak of; right ankle was bothering me on saturday but is okay today
MENTAL STATE: low motivation but otherwise okay, kind of weird

- warm up
took extra time getting warm, the gym was freezing at first

- DLRVJ x a bunch
hit 33 off of one step and then tanked again. never got higher than that. almost all approaches were off two steps because i just couldn't get up. something off again. switched to submax approaches and just worked

- MR half tuck x 27,24,27

- DLRVJ x a couple more submax
off two steps and then off four without the jump, just stopping in the jump position

- squat MSEM 315 x 5
fourth rep was weird, glutes felt turned off. all others solid.

gym closed so i had to dip.
