^^^something, sure, but i don't know what. again, no major precipitating events or posture changes that i'm aware of. i've always had a bit of anterior tilt/hips forward posture but nothing crazy.

brittlebro workout tonight.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back stiff and sensitive, right side worse than left
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- strides x 4

- 1-2 jumps 4x6

- cool down

- stretch

started to try to bound but back announced itself immediately. it's not worth it. better something than nothing and i'll stretch more later.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: left toe, low back freaked out (see below)
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 15-20
jumps were good, finally back up around 30+ on SVJ, hit 33+ on two-step (excellent for me) and then on three-step i hyperextended somehow and my low back/SI joint freaked out. ffffffffffffuuuUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK. i kept jumping but i couldn't get the volleyball or number 3 soccer ball down cleanly. so frustrating, it should have been a great jumping day.

- bench 225 x 3,3,2
no spotter so i played it very safe.

- superset x 3
-- assisted natural GHR x 10,10,10
-- inverted row x 12,12,12
-- machine leg extension +100 x 0,10,10
i'm not doing anything for my quads right now and i think they're atrophying. or i'm just neurotic. but i think my legs have gotten smaller since i stopped being able to squat.  :(

- donkey ankle bounce x 15,15,20

- stretch

so frustrated with my back!

cretins.  :P

It was a very sunny day.
I had a slight 'ndigestion feeling
in my chest
but didn't think too much of it.

People came into the pitch.
I took it as a cue to stop.

Afterwards played around park running
up ramps and other running stuff
nothing stressful.
It was a hot but good day to run.

The runs did not feel fast but just
had to continue driving, running hard.

took a little more liberty with editing this time.

5769
how do you feel like sprinting has carried over into running jumps?

5770
jesus, i was kidding.

my body is built very well for squatting and benching: i have short arms and legs and a long torso, with broad shoulders relative to my waist and naturally* a fairly big chest, butt, and quads. i have a friend who did starting strength and GOMAD a few years ago and got his squat and DL to respectable if not impressive levels (given how consistently he worked), but never got his bench over like 225-230 even when he weighed 215. meanwhile i'm about to try to hit 225x5,5,5 at 175, without focusing on it or trying especially hard. i've squatted 2x bw on a few occasions.

meanwhile, i seriously doubt i could chin my bw+20kg (100kg) ten times and raptor's DL dwarfs anything i've ever done. plus i'd trade being naturally okay at benching for being naturally okay at jumping in a fucking heartbeat.

in other news, my low back/SI joint is bothering me today. i blame the RDL.

*for the most part: i don't weigh much more than i did five years ago, have never really committed to a bulk, and my proportions are roughly the same, so i'm going to say that most of the mass i do have would be there even without lifting.

5771
Why is it that hard? That's just how I've always been. Why aren't you bench pressing 4x? Why aren't powerlifters bench pressing 10x? Why not 10423842958 x?

You're just saying stuff like we're all the same and have the same built, CNS, and another 2578934534753847 parameters. The fact that I've been training SPECIFICALLY for the squat in the last 6-7 years CONSISTENTLY and I still haven't reached 2x should tell you a thing or two about my body.

...your body has been doing it wrong?

justin darlington is the shit.

nobody can touch jordan kilganon right now, though. the double reverse elbow hang remains my favorite (non in-game) dunk ever.

I don't think you're getting sick... I think you're sore from that tennis that you played

doubtful. this wasn't soreness, more like sharp pain on certain movements. and i've never had neck pain from tennis before, and the intensity on sunday was very low.

5775
sunday played tennis with my dad until it got dark.

yesterday worked until 11 PM so no workout. foam rollered and stretched and went to bed.

tonight:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: toes esp. left toe, left shoulder, front and back of neck, jaws -- i think i'm getting sick? feel fine other than this weird neck pain
MENTAL STATE: good but tired

- warm up

- LRLRLR bound x 4
getting smoother

- sprint 30m x 3; 60m x 2; 100m x 2
4.4 for the 30s, 13.2 for the 100s

then came lightning.  :pissed:

- walk home

- stretch

i wonder if my focus should be on the longer stuff, 60s and up. i'm okay to 30m, 4.4 gives me a predicted 100 of 11.7, which would thrill me obviously. that's mutumb0000 speed, avishek speed. so clearly top speed and speed maintenance are bigger problems. and considering that sprinting is really GPP for me and jumping is the more important goal, shouldn't i be spending more time getting those max-effort ground contacts in? does that even make sense?

later in the evening:

- lacrosse ball work in shoulders
