definitely going home early now. pretty happy about it. two weeks away from the real gym is bad news. my diet has been decent on this trip, too. fruits and veggies, minimal sweets, plenty of protein, relatively low carbs most days (although tajik food is exceptionally carb-heavy so when i've been at traditional lunch places it's been rice and bread, rice and bread). i'll be curious to see how much i weigh on tuesday.

sup there guys,

I'm thinking about getting some resistance bands to help improve my speed in squats and dead lifts.

Can anyone recommend a particular brand that's good? preferably cheap but I'm willing to consider more expensive ones if they're the real deal.
I've never bought any before and would prefer to not waste any money on ones that aren't up to the task.


Thanks in advance


Henry

how advanced are you at squatting and dead lifting?

two-handed putback slam for the win with time expiring in OT. listen to how LOUD it is in there. http://deadspin.com/arkansas-upsets-kentucky-with-overtime-tip-slam-buzzer-1501654644

accelerate, then decelerate as fast as you can.

that said, you're so nuts. i alternately love and hate it.

- stretching and mobility x 15 mins

- some light DB/resistance band shit, but not worth recording

jet lag is a motherfucker. i slept in the car this afternoon for about an hour and a half, which felt amazing at the time but we'll see how it does me in an hour or so when i'm trying to crash. benadryl, don't fail me now.

really rushed because leaving today for tajikistan but glad to get this in before the trip. here goes nothing.

slipped and fell on my ass on the way to work. fucking hail, fucking brick sidewalk. at least i didn't actually hurt anything, but still:
