thanks y'all. unathletic shortish guys of the world unite! interesting point about hip hyperextension, raptor. i'm trying to do a better job of pre-activating my glutes and hopefully that'll help, too.

WEIGHT: 175
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- jumps x ~15
got a few dunks with the big dodgeball (volleyball-sized), some very good jumps without it, as well. plenty of video, will post later. not quite all-time PR height but close.

- paused squat 255 x 3,3
vid of first set. second set was better.

- bench 205 x 5,5,5
tough but clean. wobbled a little on the last rep of the first set and everything else was clean.

- assisted natural GHR x 8,8,9
did a few clapping pull ups in between sets

- kroc row 60 x 25

- stretch

great workout.

page loaded and i literally said "whaaaaat?" out loud to myself.

also, the god damn gym is closed today. i'm so blown. so, so very blown. backup gyms are also closed.

oh yeah, sorry, paracetamol we call acetaminophen in the US, for some reason. it's not an NSAID but it's actually TERRIBLE to take with booze because it's hard on your liver.

How about not having hangovers? It helps!

Man, if those felt meh, you can jam a well timed/thrown lob.

thanks man! i hope that's true. on a good day, i think i could do it with perfect timing. no training partner, though, and all the balls at the gym are too deflated to self-lob. i need an overinflated ball to use, my own ball sucks.

To me, the most obvious thing I see for the SVJs is the total lack of armswing... you swing your arms but you get 0 out of it. There's really no synchronization between the armswing and the actual jump... you should work on that more.

The running jumps look ok... although some of them don't look too "certain" in terms of where and when to start the plant etc

thanks raptor, good point about the SVJ. i tried to work on that today and will keep it in mind.

october?!?! jesus.
