btw, you mean "bear with me." "bare with me" would be like this:

oh i just mean so late, after they got sued for false advertising and had to pay some millions of dollars to people who'd bought the shoes.

i went through the whole cycle with fivefingers, similar to with crossfit but less extreme: devotee-->hardcore opponent-->measured observer. they can be very beneficial, and they can completely fuck you up. although i have no real evidence for it, i think they hastened the onset of my arthritis. they transfer stress that is customarily focused on the knee to the ankles and feet and if you're not very careful that can and does lead to chronic and acute injury. personally i feel that for most people, they're probably better for walking around in or scrambling/hiking in than for running.

basically, caveat emptor, don't expect them to work miracles or be all that great. if you adjust to them carefully you might really enjoy them and have many years of healthy running in them. they're certainly better than running barefoot when all you've got to run on is asphalt and concrete. but you might also get achilles tendonosis.

the science of sport guys have written extensively and very well about the debate around barefoot running and VFF in particular. latest article is from just after the lawsuit settlement: http://www.sportsscientists.com/2014/05/vibram-lawsuit-barefoot-running-common-sense/

No, i mean unrealistic.
Correct me if i am wrong, according to what i read and how i had it in mind too, unreal = dreamlike, unrealistic = not like expected.
The bar has a diverse feeling overall after the halfs. It feels like it is a hollow plastic bar that i can break in half if i want. The whole feeling i get touching the bar and having it on my back and adjusting it with my hands is unrealistic compared to the normal feel of a 20kg steel bar.

you are half right. unreal does mean something like dreamlike, although obviously the connotations are different and you wouldn't use them in exactly the same way. but unrealistic doesn't mean unexpected, means very unlikely to occur in reality. the most common way i can think of it being used is in relation to expectations: e.g., "imagining costa rica will win the world cup is pretty unrealistic." something along those lines.

that's also not a correct way to use "diverse," you should just say "different" there. but i'm not really sure what you mean by unrealistic in that context. it feels fake compared to the way it feels normally?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder but less than previously (???...not that i'm complaining), knees a bit achey
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a bunch
felt really good walking out but the four-step jumps were just okay. still better than last time, probably ~34-35 range for most.

- SLRVJ x a few
got vid, so incredibly slow, much slower than they feel. right around 29.5-30 for both legs.

- stretch

- grip work with COC

debatable but i thought it was the right call, it looked like it hit his bicep.

such a shame for chile, they outplayed brazil and just couldn't put it together at the end. i think they should have kept attacking instead of settling black and playing for the shootout. oh well. here's hoping colombia torches brazil next week.

scooby i didn't read all that shit and i'm a little drunk, but keep doin' you, brother. keep doin' you.

why dangerous?

It didn't feel so slow

not slow, looked fast and a little out of control, that's what raptor's saying.
