WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: quads severely, hamstrings a little
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: okay
- warm up
- sprint 300m x 1; 200m x 1, stupid fucking rugby players, 1; x 2
46.0 on the 300. getting there, will be sub-45 soon. rugby assholes got in the way on my second and third 200s, so those were incomplete at about 150 and 100m. fuckers, i don't go sit down in the middle of your fucking practice. stay off the track. times for completed 200s were 32.3, 31.5, 32.3, 32.3. headwind but still, slow. rest periods about 2 mins.
- stretch
shite workout.

looking strong, man. can't quite tell but it looks like you might be closing your eyes on a few of those reps? bad idea: closed eyes=lost balance.

quads are sore today for the first time in a long time. means i finally found a decent load for leg press.
also, i haven't had lower back pain in weeks. not this week but maybe next i will try to do some squats. lyle put up an article today about correcting a specific error in the squat, namely, the hips deviating to one side on the concentric portion of the lift. he gave some ideas for how to diagnose and fix the problem. so i'm going to try some light squats and get them on film and see if i can't fix the problem on my own. the PT i saw a little while back noted that my hips deviate in just that way, although it was a bad test because the conditions didn't actually replicate how i squat.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little, left wrist during bench
MENTAL STATE: low motivation
- warm up
- jumps x 4 @ SVJ, DSVJ, 2-step, 3-step; x 8 4-step
on squash court so no idea how high. didn't allow full recovery between reps, trying to build work capacity a little. meant to do SLRVJ at the end but forgot
- leg press 410 x 10+3+3+3
- assisted natural GHR x 8,8,8
- bench 185 x 5+2,5
i'm with dreyth. lifts are very neural. i almost hit 225 x 5,5,5 a few weeks ago and was struggling with 185 today. frequency matters.
- BOR 155 x 10+3+3+3
- stretch
my best friend is in town so i rushed through this a bit more than i would have otherwise.

not meant to be backhanded, if you clean it up you should be able to dunk off a drop-step, which is awesome.

much like the guy squatting on a swiss ball, that is both terrifying and incredibly impressive.

oh wow man, killing it with those jumps. i'm now officially striving to match you. except the DSVJ, that was ugly as hell. but the SVJ and SLRVJ were nice.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none but a little stiff
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- sprint 30m x 5; 50m x 3; 110m x 1; 200m x 2
wasted after the second 200, really pushed hard on it.
- stretch
tough workout, pleased with the level of effort, especially on the last 200. everything prior felt pretty slow, though. no times yet but i convinced my gf to come to the track with me and she taped all the sprints and a bit of my warm up as well. will edit the vids together this week for your viewing pleasure, and for all of you with sprinting experience to tell me what i'm doing wrong. i'll see if imovie has a function that places a stopwatch in the corner of the vid so i can get some approximate times for each rep.

Basketball / Re: paul george leg injury
« on: August 02, 2014, 06:45:07 pm »Yea it hurt to just watch! Have they confirmed what the actual injury is?
not that i know of but it's at least a fracture of the tibia and fibula. i mean, they broke clean in half, don't need to be an orthopedic surgeon to see that...

Heart's out to the guy. I could barely look at the still, let alone the video. ESPN.com says his season is "in doubt"...uh, no shit, Sherlock. His career is in doubt after an injury like that.
