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.

i've said it before and i'll say it again: tip dunking IS dunking for me. if i can put a basketball in off a lob or rebound or whatever, then in my mind it's mission accomplished and i can go about trying to run a sub-12s 100m or squatting 425 or whatever. while still trying to improve my dunking, of course. but once i can put a basketball in BAMN then i can move on from this blasted* obsession.
no workout or exercise of any kind today except walking up and down stairs. i was in meetings from 8:45 until 5:30, came back to the hotel, worked from 6 to 10:30, and now am going to bed. tomorrow also unlikely as i have a working dinner. fuck.
*by which i mean awesome, of course.

the trip to dushanbe was fine. my dumb ass left my benadryl in my checked bag so i had a harder time than i should have sleeping on the IAD-IST leg. getting a comfortable position was basically impossible. i slept some, for sure, but fitfully. better on the IST-DYU leg, despite there being possibly the most insistently loud baby i've ever been near on a flight one row in front of me. god bless ear plugs.
gonna head to the office in a little bit, will try to get at least some light exercise tonight to get loose and have a good stretch before i pass out.

« on: March 28, 2014, 06:32:45 pm »Well....realized how exactly out of shape I am. WOW.
My buddy who will be trying out at the USA Select tryouts and I got worked out by a former overseas coach (currently works with the Atlanta Hawks! And played for Flip Saunders O_o ) and man my legs are fried. Lol! Learned a ton though and it was very eye opening. They're trying to get me to go tryout with my buddy but IDK, im not in competitive game shape. Rec league yea...but with only 4 weeks I'm not sure I could get where I need to be. I'll think about it.
If my legs can recover then I'll hit the weights later.
Awesome day!!!
uh, sweet opportunity, congrats on the invite, get your ass in gear. four weeks is plenty of time to kick your own ass and get in some semblance of shape.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: low back a little tight but not painful
MENTAL STATE: good
- warm up
- jumps x ~30
started off really strong, finally got to practice a few lobs with avishek but i just didn't have the height, plus it was the first time every doing them so timing and rhythm were messy. wasn't at my all-time best height either. he gave me some helpful feedback on my SLRVJ, too. he definitely had the height on a couple jumps but the timing/placement wasn't there. oh well, was good to finally try some lobs, even if i don't feel like i was all that close to getting one.
