realized the tracker was a mess of stuff i don't actually care about and not a good way to track. spreadsheets work best when you use numbers. tracking whether i've done a 60m sprint or not is dumb, what's important is the time and whether that improves over time. so now i'll be tracking the following, using actual numbers whenever possible and a (?) to indicate that i did something but don't know exactly how well or poorly i did it. also, i'm considering leaving my gym -- there's nothing really keeping me at the old gym anymore except nostalgia for the Way Things Used to Be and the lack of a decent alternative. no guarantees yet, but i'm going to check out a new place today or tomorrow.

camping this past weekend was fun but devoid of any physical activity more strenuous than bocce. tonight i will sprint.

also, i've been bad about mobility for no good reason. laziness and ennui based on feeling stalled and kind of adrift in my training. acole's new competition post helped. will fix it.

Hey LBSS,

I'm curious, you seemed to not like my routine. My goal for the rest of 2013 is to bulk, I'm 5'7.5" and 142lb, would want to hit 155lb possibly. Activity-wise, I'm in college, heavy workload, gonna be playing on an intramural flag football league (heavily competitive) and pickup basketball (for fun, decent competition). Ultimately, I want to just gain just pounds on pounds of muscle, and gain strength like never before lol - my upper body is not where it should be. Legs should be mostly all fast twitch focused, more on the reactive end... but I don't have time for plyometrics at all. How would you suggest building a routine for that goal (general splits/exercises to focus on/etc).

Thanks haha

what makes you think i didn't like your routine? it looks fine.

alastair is such an awesome name.

Thanks man! It's actually Alistair with an 'i' though. It's probably one of the more misspelled  names going around.

FUCK. i hate misspelling stuff.

ETA: this video badly exacerbates my itch to switch to pure powerlifting.
