the wedding and all the attendant hanging out and seeing friends this weekend was absolutely awesome. perfect weather, great food, not enough sleep and probably a touch too much booze but who cares, it was so fun. got back a little too late last night to do anything although i did do mobility work. back on the track tonight, was slow.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right lateral knee tweaking at most flexed point of my normal sprint set-up (?); interior right glute
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- broad jump x 4
~12.25y, pretty okay

- DL bound x 4,4
a bit less than the broad jumps, not good

- SL bound x 20y x 2e
R:10,10; L:11,12. focus on full cycle with active leg, a la t0ddday

- sprint 30m x 3; 60m x 3
?,4.6,4.6; 8.4,8.3,8.4 -- slooooow

- intensive tempo 150 x 4 @ 20-21s, walk back recovery

- stretch

not sure what was up with my knee. it didn't bother me during running or any kind of moving around, just as i was crouching during the set-up for sprints. cut that bit out of the set-up; i don't think it's necessary anyway and i'm not sure why i do it. will spend some extra time on right upper leg tonight on the foam roller. hopefully it's a passing thing.

PAP is real, brah.

if he practiced a PL-compliant squat (less depth, no pause) for a couple of months i bet he could squat 600+. he couldn't do that tomorrow but he could if he decided to go for it.

yeah kf, i wanna see how much you can squat without the pause.

Because legs have to support that extra bodyweight. Athletically/relatively speaking it's worse, but for the purposes of getting stronger, it's better to be a 200kg fatty squatting 200kg than a lean 100kg one, because the 200kg fatty's legs are moving 200kg bw + 200kg bw.

Put another way, if I squat 140kg @ 90kg, then drop 3kg of bodyfat, i can now squat 143kg @ 87kg by maintaining the same load on my legs. But if i'm only squatting 140kg @ 87kg, then i've gotten weaker than I was at 90kg.

Nah that logic doesn't work out. Imagine how much more potential the guy at 100kg has. If the 100kg dude bulked up to 150kg and the 200kg fatty lost 50kg down to 150 the lean 100kg dude would be miles stronger than the fatty. Same as the guy squatting the same absolute weight at a lighter bodyweight is stronger than the heavier guy lifting the same absolute weight.

MUTUMBO! DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THE DERANGED INTERNET WANKING! IT IS DANGEROUS FOR YOUR HEALTH!

One thing i've recently been doing when my knees feel wonky is doing a compression around the muscles near the knee. I just wrap some rubber bands fairly tight around my calves and hams/quads for about 1 min, do a bit of a stretch to fill the area with blood, then move my way down the leg. Makes my knees feel good. Something to try perhaps, it's pretty amazing how good it feels in an instant. People use rubber tubing from bicycle tyres, i just use my bands.

huh, cool.

replacement for voodoo from supple leopard

yeah exactly.

rock on scooby!
