maybe it'll be followed by a return of spontaneous boners.

in re: percentages: fair enough! thanks. also, i don't have blocks.
will do submax bounds as part of warm up. as you've seen my SL bounding is pretty terrible. i will probably just to try to get to a point where i'm doing them with unembarrassing form. i feel like getting those down can't fail to have a positive impact. aspiring toward something like this (but i'll stick to grass if i can):

but for starters, something more like this as the warm-up:

C-skips are gonna be a bit of a mindfuck, i think.
secondary question: best alternative on days when it's pouring rain? we don't have the southern california luxury of nonstop nice weather.

so like,
DAY 1
jumps
4-5 x 60m @95+%
300m @ 95+%
DAY 2
rest/weights (upper only)
DAY 3
jumps
4-5 x 60m @95+%
DAY 4
jumps submax/basketball
weights (lower and upper)
DAY 5
rest
DAY 6/7
4-5 x 250-150m @75-80%
300m @100%
that gives three days of jumping and three days of sprinting per week, with a couple of days of obviously de-emphasized weights, to focus on upper stuff just for funzies and lower stuff to focus on p-chain.

you get quality dialogue because you obviously care and put in really hard, dedicated work, and your whole process is out there for everyone to see and engage with.

i'm planning to run a 100 on may 19 and/or june 9 and/or june 30. might try a 200, too, just to beat myself up. i get back to the states and normal training on april 14, which means the may 19 race would be just about a month off, and then ~six and nine weeks to the following two dates.
so, questions, for t0ddday primarily but also anyone else who wants to chime in:
1. is it worth trying to run a 100 race after a month of training, or if i can only do one of the three am i better off giving myself a bit more time to train?
2. what's my best approach, considering that jumping/dunking remains the overwhelming goal and i'm not going to give that up to run 4+ times a week? if i'm jumping indoors 2-3 times per week and the track is a mile away from the gym, should i bother trying to sprint after jumping? just stick to tempo and try to get in some semblance of shape? i'm happy to reduce time in the weight room but not time on the court.

last night got a thorough stretch in before bed but no other exercise.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: pretty good
- warm up
- SVJ x 3,3,3
really tight and rigid on the first few reps, loosened up my arms some and focused on using the swing and was much better for the last 4-5 reps.
- superset x 2
-- DB BSS 20s x 10
-- DB RDL 26s x 10
- superset x 2
-- DB OHP 16s x 10
-- neutral chin x 10
- ab wheel roll outs x 10,10
gonna stretch now. kind of a wimpy workout but better than nothing. gonna ask around about the national stadium tomorrow - whether it's open to the public on weekends or something - and if not i'm going to kill myself in the gym on saturday.

« on: April 01, 2014, 11:21:30 pm »Hey Andrew I just started learning Python... I was wondering... what's your opinion about it?
I've heard it's a good idea to start with Python as a means to learn programming. What do you think?
It's how I got started as a graduate student and made the switch from math to data analysis. If you like math/problem solving but hate syntax and programming it's absolutely the best way to go. Make a account on https://projecteuler.net/ and solve the first 100 problems using python. Anybody who can do that is capable of quite a lot.
neat. new procrastination technique.
