that's fine, 3x a week is good. the point was just to not lose sight of what you really want to get better at.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- jumps x ~30 mins
- stretch
- sledding x 2 hours
jumps were a bit low and uncoordinated, as expected, but not catastrophic. probably 28" on the SVJ, 32.5-33.5 on three- and four-step jumps that i didn't fuck up on the approach. sled-worthy snow happens too rarely around here to pass up. it was awesome.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: Delayed potentiation by walking (Kelly)
« on: January 21, 2014, 08:13:48 am »gave it a half hearted go (only walked for about 20 minutes but a lot of it was up hill)
unless my jump suddenly has gotten better I think it worked. don't know exactly how much but there was a noticeable improvement, possibly about 2 inches. not bad.
awesome. fwiw, i do this on the long plane rides for work: get up periodically and walk up and down the aisle or walk around in circles in the galleys flexing my glutes as hard as i can on each step. keeps things awake when you're otherwise sitting still for 11+ hours.

raptor, you fucking asstard, you will find no defense from me of the us military-industrial complex or our 200-year-old aggressive empire-building. you won't. american behaves abominably in foreign policy as often as not and we're our own worst enemy in a lot of ways. i spend a lot of time thinking about that. but how does that have anything at-fucking-all to do with the fact that a bunch of people -- only three of whom were american, let me remind you -- just got blown up or shot to death in a place i've spent many hours at at dinners just like the ones they were enjoying until about 90 seconds before their lives ended? and that that upset me a bit more than i'd have expected it to?
fuck you, get the fuck out of here with that shit.

also, raptor, your country was complicit in the murder of hundreds of thousands (at least) of jews during world war ii. so if you're going to go digging up hiroshima and nagasaki as a reason not to feel sympathetic when an american is upset, then at least acknowledge that romanians are deserving of no more sympathy, as an entire fucking country, than anyone else.

« on: January 18, 2014, 11:11:10 pm »I know I know... of course... it's just that for some reason (and hate me as much as you want) - when I see an american complaining about killing I just... I just am not impressed.
Why? Because you guys stand as the pinnacle of freedom in the world and yet you resort in the same terrorist tactics (albeit it with less risk - radio guided drones so that the pilot is not in any danger - he just presses a button).
Is that the fault of the american people? Of course it isn't. But for me, I just... you know what I mean. It's like blaming germans for what Hitler did.
The reality is that Hitler got in that position and the leadership of the USA is doing all these things PARTLY because they have been allowed to do it by their country as a whole.
Not to mention the USA is the only country in the world to actually use a nuclear weapon, and then pretend that nobody else should have it. There's a lot of stuff going on with hypocrisy.
if you can't see the gap between individual emotion and governmental action then i can't help you.

de-emphasizing squats doesn't mean you have to abandon them and get weaker. i can't squat as much as i could even four months ago but i'm definitely good for 90% of that, and i have no doubt that a switch back to squat-centered training would see me recouping what i've lost pretty quickly. you can push yourself on the squat sets, you just can't expect to make gains.
EDIT: after looking at a bunch of pictures on the internet, i've determined that your defensive stance isn't wide enough to allow you to get low.
