perfect day to run, was patient and good boyfriend, hanging out with gf and her sister and sister's bf, not drinking, waiting to get to the track. drove to the track. it's fucking closed on weekends. no indication that it would be closed on the website. this beautiful 400m oval. i asked the guard if he'd look the other way while i jumped the fence but he laughed and said no. not mad at him, it's his job. but seriously WHY THE FUCK ARE TRACKS SO FUCKING HARD TO FIND. i should have just gone up to towson.

seriously pissed. going to work out tomorrow and monday but WJ:OEIFNMDLS:KVN:SDLIGHJFSDL:KVNX:CLVKJNSD:FL  :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:

so where do you fit in the actual RVJs?

two steps forward, one step back.  :uhhhfacepalm:

no, i was just doing a couple of one-step jumps. not the first time, i do them periodically. but i was thinking about it last night so i tried 'em. it's still "natural" to reach with my left hand on those so on one of them i reached with my right and things got all twisted.

also, my right knee hurts still, right behind the patella. not when i'm still but when i'm extending against resistance. not the first time i've had pain like this. i assume it was triggered by the squats but no idea why. my ability to squat at all just evaporated spontaneously a few weeks ago and it is still a mystery why.

also, i think i have a small labrum tear from grabbing the rim.

WEIGHT: 175
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back after i tweaked it on a jump, now it's kind of bad
MENTAL STATE: tired

- warm up

- jumps x 10-12
very inconsistent and slow, as expected, but i managed to get a couple around 34. so not a catastrophic fail considering how long i was gone. good job, me. toward the end tried a couple of one-step RL plants and on the second one i got all twisted and my back was like, fuck.

- squat 135 x 5,5,5
back tight but these were doable. i'm slightly regretting it now, though.

- bench 185 x 5,5
whatever

- DB RDL 80s x 10,10

- kroc row 70 x 22(R),20(L)

- stretch

considering i slept like shit last night and am for sure jet lagged, this could have been way worse.

EDIT: two hours later, lower back is really stiff and achey. right knee also bugging. damn it.

i've found that with rows, once i get to a weight where i can't do more than five-rep sets, my form has long since gone to shit. body english for days. ymmv, of course, but i do better with at least eight-rep sets.

Bumping this because I just got an email saying that they had just digitized Charlie's 2002 Vancouver seminar in two parts. They can be yours for the low, low price of $99 each!

I get no shortage of lolz over how spectacularly overpriced the stuff on his website is. Seriously, who buys it? Maybe school-affiliated track coaches with a budget to spend?

put a backpack on and go for a vigorous walk outside? much less boring.

try incline walking on the treadmill. very low impact, very low intensity so should not interfere with other objectives. stick on a podcast or an album you like and just walk.

having not squatted in more than a month, i'm pretty sure i could do 90x20 today without trying too very hard.  :P 8) :highfive:

in related news, i still can't dunk.  :( :huh: :uhhhfacepalm:

why do you need to figure out how much the hack squat machine weighs? you're just measuring improvement from a baseline. it's not like "hack squat calf raises" something you can compete in.

not nearly as great a move, but this is brother-on-brother so i'm sticking it in here anyway.

chris, raptor's opinion on this is settled, you're not going to argue him out of it. we've had the debate about the AI/jordan move before. it's just a question of what you value. i have no idea how raptor makes his judgments but to me context matters A LOT. the iguodala move is amazing in large part because he was on a fast break, in traffic, going against an NBA defender. quincy miller ain't much in the NBA but he's still one of the best ~400 basketball players in the world.

AI, as a rookie, crossed up michael jordan, one of the greatest defensive players of his generation at the peak of his powers.

the one recently where the streetball guy (forget who) crossed up some schlub and then did a little dance over him is relatively not as cool. it'd be like crossing me up. hurray, you made an unskilled player look bad in a meaningless game in front of 300 people. it was an amazing move but it doesn't compare.

context.
