WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: lower back
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- a ton of skips and bounds x 20-25 mins

- easy sprint 130m x 4

- some more skips

- superset x 3
-- push up x 20
-- crunch x 50

- stretch and a bit of mob for shoulders

well, that could have gone a lot worse. back felt okay despite a few twinges, even somewhat looser by the end of the workout. smart to keep everything easy, though. left stopwatch at home to force myself to slow down. i am still horrific at bounding, unable to put any kind of power into the ground or get my lead foot out in front where it should be in order to sweep back up and under.

btw i sent my version of your post, the one that i broke into lines, to a friend of mine who is a poet. his response: "I LOVE THIS."

not to make you self-conscious or anything.

So you can do 45 pushups in one minute? Bench 1x for 15 reps?

actually the pushups i'm not sure. i think so. bw bench for 15 reps definitely. i got short arms.

i am confident that i can do everything on the list except 15 pull ups and 30 feet in the triple DL bound.

when i was in college, i was talking with my dad about which one of me and my brothers got hurt the most as kids. i assumed he would say my brother jack, who was always falling out of trees and getting a concussion, or running into a bench while sledding and needing to go to the ER because they were worried he'd broken his back. but dad pointed at me and said something to the effect of, "you always had something nagging, a little bit wrong." i think that's just my row to hoe in life.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS:
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder worse; low back fuck (see below)

could not even touch rim on SVJ, not even close. did a bunch of SLRVJ instead from one and two steps and a few farther away

- bound practice x not really
hardwood not good, gonna leave these for the track/turf

- RDL 225 x 1ffffffuuuu
the low back ache turned into a nasty strain on the second rep. still seems to be muscular, no radiating or shooting pain or anything like that and it's kind of symmetrical on either side of my SI joint/lower lumbar spine.

did a few dips but i was done after that. ibuprofen and rest, here i come. god damn it.

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back tight, left hip a little, left shoulder a little
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DLRVJ x ~8
excellent, some good clean dunks with the dodgeball. 35+ on a few, all over 34

- basketball x 2 games
i suck but wind is better

- bench 215 x 5,5,5

- kroc row 80 x 22(R),20(L)

- inverted row x 10,10,10

walk home, change shoes, jog 0.5 mile to track

- strides

- LRLR bounds x 3

- sprint 30m x 1; 40y x 2; 50m x 2; 100m x 1
hand timing is bad. got 4.5 on the 30, ~5.3 on the 40s, ~6.8 on the 50, and 13.5 ( although to be fair it was at the end of a long workout and i am NOT fit) on the 100

- walk home

- stretch

the 6.8 on the 50 gives me a 12.5 estimate for the 100. the 4.5 30 gives me an 11.88. the 13.5 on the 100 gives me a...13.5. pretty clear what my problem is, i think.

later:

- foam roller hips, t-spine; some more quad and hip stretching.

forgot that you don't have DBs. god i would kill to be able to work out at home. to have a garage...

volume OHP ftw.
