It was a very sunny day.
I had a slight 'ndigestion feeling
in my chest
but didn't think too much of it.

People came into the pitch.
I took it as a cue to stop.

Afterwards played around park running
up ramps and other running stuff
nothing stressful.
It was a hot but good day to run.

The runs did not feel fast but just
had to continue driving, running hard.

took a little more liberty with editing this time.

jesus, i was kidding.

my body is built very well for squatting and benching: i have short arms and legs and a long torso, with broad shoulders relative to my waist and naturally* a fairly big chest, butt, and quads. i have a friend who did starting strength and GOMAD a few years ago and got his squat and DL to respectable if not impressive levels (given how consistently he worked), but never got his bench over like 225-230 even when he weighed 215. meanwhile i'm about to try to hit 225x5,5,5 at 175, without focusing on it or trying especially hard. i've squatted 2x bw on a few occasions.

meanwhile, i seriously doubt i could chin my bw+20kg (100kg) ten times and raptor's DL dwarfs anything i've ever done. plus i'd trade being naturally okay at benching for being naturally okay at jumping in a fucking heartbeat.

in other news, my low back/SI joint is bothering me today. i blame the RDL.

*for the most part: i don't weigh much more than i did five years ago, have never really committed to a bulk, and my proportions are roughly the same, so i'm going to say that most of the mass i do have would be there even without lifting.

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none (!)
MENTAL STATE: very, very tired

- warm up

- SLRVJ and short-approach DLRVJ x ~30 total jumps

- bench 180 x 14
should have had the last rep but overthought it and failed halway up. god damn it. well, i'll try again some other time and i'm sure i'll get it.

- high kroc row 80 x 15R,15L

- RDL 135 x 10,10,10
no lower back pain. success. will build this up very slowly.

- superset x 6,5,4,3,2,1
-- dip
-- pull up

- decline sit up +18 x 5 +0 x 5
back not happy with these

- pallof press 50 x 10,10

- stretch

not a horrible workout considering how fatigued i am. this week has been tough at work and i've had trouble sleeping.

later:

- hip opening

- wrist stretches

I don't think you're getting sick... I think you're sore from that tennis that you played

doubtful. this wasn't soreness, more like sharp pain on certain movements. and i've never had neck pain from tennis before, and the intensity on sunday was very low.

YOUR LINK IS INVALID.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings, abs a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES: lower back still sensitive but not bothering me most of the time, left shoulder
MENTAL STATE: good, then pissed

- jumps
gym schedule said open gym, showed up and turns out it was pre-k soccer lesson time. this wouldn't have pissed me off except that i planned my fucking afternoon around when the court would be free. jumps would have sucked anyway but still. so instead...

- bound practice x a whole bunch of LRLR and RLRL
got a couple on film, will post shortly. still ugly and inconsistent. in my mind i should be planting heel-toe but that just is not happening in real life. to the point where i think that maybe you're just supposed to plant on these as if you were sprinting? t0ddday? calves were wrecked by the end of these.

- donkey ankle bounces x 15,15,15,15

- bench 220 x 3; 215 x 5; 220 x 5
spotter gave a wonky lift on the first set and it threw me off. second and third sets were really strong. 225 next time.

- feet elevated inverted row x 15,15,15

- ab cable pull down 60 x 10; 90 x 10; 110 x 10
110 is closer to the appropriate weight. these i felt a wee bit in the back. i wish my left shoulder would let me do hanging leg raises.

- stretch

later:

- lacrosse ball smashing glutes
