the weightlifting shoes will change your mechanics more than you think. take these photos again once they arrive. also be humble with weight once you get 'em; i fucked up my hip after my shoes came because i thought i could just keep going with the weight i was using before. better to back off briefly and work quickly back up. you won't lose strength but it'll help you adapt to the new movement safely.

that's actually a good idea. i can perfectly maintain form all the way down, it's on the concentric where it gets HARD. mmkay gonna do that. thanks raptor.

see now those GHRs would not pass the alexv test. hips first, torso follows.

Yeah but here's the thing - GHR = knee flexing exercise. Leg curl = knee flexing exercise. RDL = hip extensor exercise.

That's what I meant.

ah, touche, touche. that is a good point. i guess that was joe's point, too.  :uhhhfacepalm:

hadn't thought about adding leg curls of any kind. i could throw in some non-strict GHRs to get the volume work in but i'd rather focus on quality on those. once i can rep out more than a few i'll be a beast.

EDIT: someone downvote that post i made with DB RDLs in huge type.

120 pounds is low. i just started doing them so i'm trying to avoid the major hamstring DOMS. no harder than barbell, i'm using DBs because i don't feel like loading a barbell again at that point in my workout. my gym goes up to 120s, which is double what i'm doing now. once i pass that i'll start with the BB.

Then do leg curls after them to get that volume up.

- DB RDL 60s x 10,10

Just two reps on GHR? You need a much higher volume.

you must have missed or forgotten about the discussion with alexv about form on GHRs. i can pump out GHRs if i allow myself to break at the hips, but i'm trying to do them with perfect alignment.

Track & Field / the T0ddday test

Quote from: T0ddday
A workout I like to make athletes do on the track is repeat 150m sprints with a 25 meter walk between sprints and then 10 pushups before each 150 starts.  If you can knock out 5 150's in this manner in a total time of less than 5 minutes.  Your in REALLY good shape upper and lower body. [sic all]

who wants to try this with me? seems like a fun way to end a workout the next time i'm at a 400m oval. post times to this thread.

In the end, emerging from the great big ocean wearing a blue swimming cap and goggles -- and having swum roughly 110 miles in 52 hours and 54 minutes -- Diana Nyad still had enough strength to walk ashore Monday.

Failing four times over the years, on her fifth and final attempt this weekend, the 64-year-old Nyad officially became the first swimmer to go the distance from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: blah, terrible sleep last night and it's hot and humid as shit outside

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds x 3,3,3

- 1-2 jumps x 4,4,4,4,4

- various SL bounds x some

- two-step DLRVJ x some

- sprint ~40m x 1; 55m x 2
?, 7.59, 7.72

unbelievably slow, just awful. the jumps and bounds were bad, too. normal track was unavailable so i had to go to shitty banneker. plus it's a million degrees outside and i got like 3-4 total hours of sleep last night. bad workout, oh well. going to play tennis with my dad later.

for upper body endurance, try no-weight or very-light-DB overhead presses for SHITLOADS of reps. like do a set of 30, then rest 30s with your arms extended overhead, then do another set.
