I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I haven't felt good going into the gym in over a month. That's a lot of workouts in a row where I feel shitty. The only exception is when I SOMEHOW maxed my squat at 455lbs.

This is really starting to get to me. I don't understand. On my walk home from the gym I realized I'm not getting enough protein, haven't taken creatine or fish oil in the past 2 weeks, and not getting enough sleep. So I'm going to change all of that. But I still can't help but feel like it's not enough. How does my bench drop from 250x5 to 225x5?

I'm wondering - how much do you feel you load up on your left leg (the first leg you plant) and how much on "both"?

A lot more load on the left leg. I do remember a while back though, i accidentally figured out this approach where i do more of a hop instead of a 1-2 into my plant, and it loaded the legs more equally. It made me get up higher too (at the time). I have to experiment with that again.

Friend called me for an impromptu league game. Played all 40min. Tired after the game, still able to land a clean 2 handed tomahawk! Then i got out my camera and recorded this miss unfortunately:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTKbfb9AsY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzTKbfb9AsY</a>

Good to know i could tomahawk without crazy effort, without any movement efficiency work in the past weeks, or a proper warm up. I can *safely* say i was getting up 36" today. If i had a good warm up (like after 10min of full court instead of 40min), probably 38". You can see that my approach isnt as violent as it usually is when my movement efficiency is better.

As usual, as my movement efficiency comes back my vertical will increase another 3 inches or so. Definitely hitting 40" in a couple months if i stay healthy!

too lazy to update log but

thursday i squatted as i said
friday i finished thursdays workout (bench, rdl incline bench, calf raises)
saturday i did the usual rows, lateral raises, pull ups, didnt do abs or rear delts -- too demotivated

saturday night though i went out to cielo nyc to see markus schulz dj. i dont like him much. the opening dj was this girl Nifra though. she was great while playing anjunadeep stuff. then she plays TWO of my brothers songs! they were Opium and Smoke & Mirrors. here's a vid i took of smoke n mirrors:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no6fAZ9PPIY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no6fAZ9PPIY</a>


edit: Aced that final exam. I was one of 4 to earn an A on the midterm, and i'm the only one to earn an A on the final exam. this gives me a lot of motivation to succeed.

i've found a pdf textbook for the security+ certification that i want to get. i start studying tomorrow. i'll keep a chapter log but not a comprehensive study log.

Still not feeling it. I have my cert exam this Friday and a giant final exam on Saturday. After this weekend, I should be feeling a lot better in the gym and stuff. Hopefully I pass the cert though. If I don't, I'm going to be studying even harder lol.

Too lazy to keep a study log now. It's also not very necessary. There's no "progress" as in I was X more intelligent than last time or something. I guess gains is the word I'm looking for. There's studying progress (reading more chapters) but no study "gains" that you can log. Additionally, I originally made the log to stop myself from procrastination and to stay on track. It looks like I'm able to do that on my own now. Yay!

Pissed off at my squat. I was doing 405x3 earlier at a bw of 195. Now I'm doing 395x3 at a bw of 200. I know it's just temporary fatigue or something, since about 10 days ago I did 395x2 yet maxed out at 455 the next workout lol.

Today I got hit with IMMENSE brain fatigue. I wasn't right at all. Physically couldn't study. It is definitely the reason I haven't been feeling it during any workout lately. Even when I hit PR's, going INTO the gym I still feel like shit.

When I was at the gym I had a retard moment. I lock my stuff up in a locker and go downstairs to warm up. I wonder hmmm.. where's my lock... Then I went "shit! I forgot it on my locker!" I frantically go back upstairs and get to my locker to find my lock on my locker.

Okay? That's where it's supposed to be. Wow.

Anyway, instead of taking the exam for $285 and having to pay that again if I fail, i found a bundle for $372 that includes a retake. I'm just going to go with that. I'm tired of studying. I'm taking the cert exam this saturday. If I fail, that's okay; they will tell me which areas I'm weakest in so I can zero in on my studying and definitely pass the retake.

possibly getting a cy sec internship at my uni. it would mean a big pay cut for me though since its less pay and less hours than my current non-related job. hopefully my current boss can move me down to part time instead of me having to quit completely, to mitigate that.

i have a big career fair at my school in september. a bachelors, a pending masters (in dec), 2 or 3 certifications, and an internship will look damn good on my resume.

we'll see how this pans out. nothing is set yet.

Damn I have a lot to learn until next week. Gotta finish up these cards, learn the exam simulations, and prepare for a huge final that same day. At the same time work just got very busy. I'm really stressed.
