yesterday:

- some stretching and SMR throughout the day (couch stretch and adductor/VMO rollering in particular) but not enough

today:

- mobility (SMR+stretching) x 35-40 mins
hit t-spine, adductors, and glutes.

WEIGHT: 171.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none really
MENTAL STATE: fine, good

- warm up

- jump squat 45 x 3; 65 x 3,3

- squat 255 x 8,8,8,8
last set hard but solid. third set flew, very strong.

- OHP 115 x 5,4
still weak but not as horrifying as the other day

- pull up +25 x 5,5

- GHR ISO holds 10s x 4

- superset x 2
-- paused calf raise 415 x 10
-- tuck windshield wiper x 10

- stretch

posture/spinal alignment work continues throughout the day. two people at work today told me independently that i seemed taller. i don't think the posture thing gives me more than half an inch in actual height but hey, maybe it makes me look taller. who knows. one side benefit i think will be improved glute activation: if glutes are turned on at a low level whenever i'm standing up or walking around, it will be easier to engage them and maintain a neutral spine during exercise.

WEIGHT: 171.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: outside lower right leg
MENTAL STATE: annoyed

was on my way to the track and it started lightning and thundering. and then it started to rain. so i went to the gym instead.  :pissed:

- warm up

- depth jump @12" x 3,3,3,3,3
got a couple of 'em on video, will combine with some other stuff from the workout later and post. knees coming way too far forward on most sets, i think.

- SL pogo x 5,5,5

- air squat motor learning x some

- sprint form drills x a few

- standing ab wheel roll outs x 3,3
same problem as with GHRs, really interestingly. i lose tension in my abs and butt and overextend my lumbar spine. the roll outs highlight because of the load.

- walk home

/later

- extensive stretching and SMR for t-spine, ITB, adductors, and feet

i have indulged on sweets more than i should but have only gained a pound in the eight days since i started my tracker. i am getting enough protein and veggies but still, i need to limit myself more on the processed sugar front.

why not back off on squats for a little (like to 425s or even 405s) for an extended period while adding some heavy back-specific work like pendlay rows? i know you've done hypers and stuff in the past for your low back but it sounds like that's not where you're failing anymore.

yeah it's not a long-term thing. just trying to get my work capacity back to somewhere moderately respectable. i'll switch back to some form of waveloaded gym work soon, probably along the lines of what adarq prescribed 18 months ago. stay tuned.

had the last set if i'd sacked up but lost concentration thinking about my calf

- OHP 115 x 3,3,3
pathetic

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Cheapest Protein Powder in the History of Mankind
« on: July 08, 2013, 04:12:01 pm »
if a serving is 30g (and it is, if the per-serving protein amount is 25g), then unless the NOW stuff also has magical physics-bending properties, there's no way it has 162 servings for a 5lb tub. there are 453g per lb, so there are 2265g in a 5lb tub, or 75.5 servings. give or take.

super grade whey protein concentrate from truenutrition.com is 10lbs for $90 shipped, which is cheaper per pound than the price you quoted. the high grade stuff is even cheaper but it doesn't mix as nicely.
