if you are careful and deliberate about your diet, you can add a lot of weight without putting on a lot of fat.

yeah rippetoe talks about this, too, in starting strength. "spreading the floor" has been a good cue for me in the past when i feel myself being a unstable.

btw i just realized that starting strength is currently the 741st best-selling book on amazon, which means it's selling something like 800-1000 copies a month. rippetoe publishes the book himself, so he's probably netting like $10k/month just on starting strength sales. not too shabby, especially if you live in BFE, texas.

seems you drive an expensive car. perhaps i should consider a career change to working odd hours in biotech.

if you have taken him on as your coach, you should do what he says and not listen to anything anyone on here says to the contrary. i am unsure how jump squats will cure your cancer of leaning forward and having too strong a back, and also i was unaware that "too strong back" was a problem for you. i think i'm reading it wrong.

well you could compete in PL or something in the meantime.

and i bet if you focused harder on cutting some fat and got down to maybe 220 or 230 you'd do pretty well at CF. although i guess i don't see you doing muscle ups, handstand push ups, double unders, and some of the other stuff that really improves with concentrated practice.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left quad tweaky during warm ups but it went away fast
MENTAL STATE: tired but amped for the workout, especially once i could see the lightning in the distance

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds x 2

- SLRVJ and DLRVJ x 40-50

- run home in the pouring rain

fuck the weather. in particular, fuck thunderstorms that decide to hit right smack dab in the middle of when i'm having a good workout. jumps were better than my last track workout (friday). i went straight to them because i saw the storm coming and jumping is more important than sprinting. now i'm going to do some sprint drill type stuff in my house and maybe some core stuff and then stretch/mobility.

QOTD: DOES SCOOB HAVE VISIBLE ABS OR DOES HE NOT?

great weekend at the beach although not enough sleep and diet was kind of crappy. i wasn't trying to be high-maintenance with my gf's parents paying for everything. yesterday ran about two miles in the morning and then did some calisthenics and stretching. felt good to get the juices flowing a bit. did mobility work, as well.

also i'm dropping the hip socket work i've been doing. i feel like it's exacerbating the tightness/impingement in my left hip -- it's still not really a problem but when it's there i feel like it's there harder, if that makes sense. either i'm doing the exercise wrong or i misdiagnosed my problem. either way, it's gone. gonna switch to hip ER/IR stretching+SMR combo and calf work. OH work with the peanut will continue apace.
