switching rep scheme is a good idea. also, have you considered emphasizing more accessory work? what do you think is holding you back? maybe it's time to try some dedicated tricep work, for example.
because yeah, you're significantly bigger than i am but i got my bench to 225 x 5,5,4 earlier this year without trying that hard. something's amiss there for you.

dreyth's probably right.
EDIT: wait, you're only front squatting 135 for sets of 4? are those challenging sets?

« on: November 10, 2014, 10:17:30 am »ETA: someone reminded me tonight that kabul is 6000 feet (1800m) above sea level. does make a difference.
Sure does!
Once at a ski travel, we had lunch at this chalet that is a little higher than 3800m ( 12500ft ).
Man, it felt like being on a ship, thing is built on a rock and yet we felt moving, feeling dizziness and nausea. Crazy!
Heh, found it : http://www.zermatt.ch/en/Media/Restaurants-bars-clubs/mountain-restaurant-Zermatt-Matterhorn-glacier-paradise
i don't generally get altitude sickness, although to be fair it's years since i was quite that high up. looks like a pretty sweet place for a meal, although maybe not if you're nauseated!

dunno man, i'm not a doctor or a dentist and i can't see your mouth so any advice i give you is pretty uninformed.
i had all four wisdom teeth out at once and didn't do any heavy or intense activity for at least a couple of weeks. i think there was a follow-up visit where the took the bandage packs out and after that i was pretty much okay. but your dentist may have used a different technique.
the hole is always gonna be there, it'll feel weird at first but eventually you'll get used it. i wouldn't do anything intense while it still hurts.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
bike
- superset x 3
-- DB OHP 35s x 10
-- neutral chin x 6+4; 5+5; 5+5
alright. tomorrow begins the 33-hour trip back to DC. made it to the end having worked out 14/18 days, or 14/15 non-travel days. pretty close to my goal of working out in at least some respect every day that i wasn't in the air. no progress on anything, really, but at least i got my heart rate up and challenged myself a little bit every day.
ETA: also i think 30 chin ups is the most i've ever done in one session. even if neutral is the easiest grip.

das raycess and all but him and lipek are my two favorites right now. so creative, doing crazy shit.
that kid kwe parker is unreal, though. dunks aside, he's a junior 4-star, you'd think he'd have more offers than he does. only BC, clemson, wake and VT. what's up with the rest of the ACC, at least? or like ECU or richmond or some other schools like that?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right hip, right calf
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
right calf started acting up immediately after i started jumping rope although it hadn't bothered me before today. right hip was wonky off and on throughout the day, especially going up stairs. rode the stationary bike for a bit instead.
- dead lift singles up to 165
that pretty much ties my all-time PR (365 lbs) although i haven't DL'd in literally years. it was not a terribly stressful rep, double overhand grip with no problem. decided discretion was the better part of valor and the gym was closing anyway.
was working until too late to get much of a longer workout in, and the calf thing put a cramp in the planned jumping workout. oh well, this was fun

look upstream. glute minimus and hamstrings can refer pain down. especially glute minimus. forgive the huge image, but:
