okay, but the first sentence of your post is "bobsledders are the fastest athletes in the world." just saying.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Becoming a supple leopard

the verdict is that pretty much any cue is context-dependent, and trying to universalize something as vague and ill-explained as "knees out" is a recipe for disaster.
EDIT: also that just because someone uses words like "torque" and "eversion" doesn't mean they actually know what the fuck they're talking about.

yesterday spent 12 hours in the car driving back through the mountains to dushanbe. stretched and went to bed immediately after. cough was back this morning.
just now (wednesday evening):
- warm up
- 1-2 jumps x 6
ME jump followed immediately by another ME jump. coordination spotty on these, will continue to practice as i think they're probably good.
- SL pogo x 5/e,5/e
- DSVJ x a few
got up pretty good on one or two of them
- circuit x 3
-- DB bench 20s x 10 (had to pause in the middle of the last set to cough a lot)
-- DB row 20s x 10
-- DB BSS 8s x 10
-- DB RDL 16s x 10
- circuit x 2
-- DB curl 8s x 10
-- tricep press down 12.5(?) x 10
-- paused decline sit up x 10
- stretch
feels so good.

important article on the "knees out...external torsion" that supple leopard endorses: http://dsstrength.com/2013/11/11/supple-leopards-vs-the-world-my-take-on-the-knees-out-debate/.
i've found all that to be very true in my own experience. the knees-out cue is fine as far as it goes but past a certain point i feel much less stable and also much more stressed in the knee.

cool post, except the part about bobsledders being the fastest athletes in the world. the fastest athletes are, beyond obviously, 100m sprinters.

this morning i did 20 or 30 minutes of calisthenics and stretching. kept it light so as not to kick off the coughing. air squats, some isometric stuff, band-resisted RDLs, pull-aparts, etc.
this evening i did the 7DVJC.
tomorrow i'm hoping to skip across the border into afghanistan for the afternoon.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: wide BSS questions?
« on: November 10, 2013, 10:06:32 am »Start with the weights on the ground, then you can adjust your stance so you're in the best position before picking up the weights. It just takes a bit of adjustment but you should find a good position after a few attempts.
my god, i had never thought to do that before. genius.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Gluten/Wheat
« on: November 10, 2013, 03:03:17 am »
like all debates about nutrition, it's way overblown. however, some people really are negatively affected by eating gluten. if you feel better when you're not eating it, then just stop eating it. the debate shouldn't matter.
ETA: you can do carb refeeds with all kinds of stuff, obviously. you're not limited to wheat and other glutinous carby foods.

i worked out on 11/4 but i forget what i did. some SVJ, some jump squats, and a circuit similar to what i'd done before. 11/5 until today i've been sick (
) and also traveling. i'm finally feeling more or less myself although i still have a cough. going to do some bw stuff this evening and tomorrow and if it's not too cold i might even work out in the garden. being sick blows, i'm sure it was a combination of long plane ride and not enough sleep. my immune system has been getting weaker as i've gotten older, i think.
i'm in khorog, tajikistan. it's fucking gorgeous here, poplar trees everywhere with yellow leaves and snowy mountains.
