You shouldn't really care about your squat performance at this point - as long as the jumps become:

1) Higher
2) Smoother
3) Faster
4) Easier (less effort is needed)
5) BETTER

Then you're good to go.

oh, trust me, i don't care about squat performance right now. but it was notable to struggle with 255 after overpowering it easily the past few workouts.

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: posterior left shoulder tweaking a wee bit
MENTAL STATE: very good

- warm up

- jumps x ~20
got a few good dunks with the dodgeball but inconsistent, missed more than i made. still felt good.

- paused squat 255 x 2; 225 x 3
legs weak/enervated weirdly. the 225 x 3 was explosive but 255 felt awful. huh.

- bench 185 x 8+3+3+3+3
nice pump

- cable pull through 140 x 20; 150 x 20,20

- kroc row 80 x 17(L),18(R)

- superset x 2
-- decline sit up 35 x 10
-- DB shrug 60s x 10
-- band pull apart x 10

some random other shit in there like a 2x25 DB plate pinch, some clapping pull ups, etc. good workout.

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.

Translation:

I don't care about what alcohol does to my liver, just what some medicine does to it.

no. alcohol in moderation can be handled by the liver. that's the liver's job. acetaminophen/paracetamol is the LEADING CAUSE OF ACUTE LIVER FAILURE in the united states. when you mix it with alcohol, things can go badly.

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!

you people are ridiculous. did you perhaps think that knowledge of what to do to reduce the likelihood of a hangover was not, um, common? yeah, of course drinking water helps. of course NSAIDs help. but sometimes they help a lot and sometimes not. prescribing something like "drink 1000mL of water and take a couple of whatevers" is completely beside the point.

here, go read joan acocella's history of hangover cures from a few years ago: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/05/26/080526fa_fact_acocella?currentPage=all.
