see the "shaq was lazy" argument drives me insane. shaq is a top-5 all-time center and was THE MOST DOMINANT PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE. how can you say he was lazy? i can just as easily say, if he'd worked harder he'd have burned out and stopped getting joy from the game and retired early.
it's like the idiots who talk about how lazy randy moss was. randy moss is the second-greatest receiver in nfl history. he played exactly the way he needed to play to be better than EVERYONE ELSE AT HIS POSITION EVER EXCEPT JERRY RICE.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: better, a bit stressed
- warm up
- broad jump x 2
not great
- DL bound x 2,2,2,2,2,2
okay, especially the first four sets were all well past the broad jump marker
- avishek SL bound x 3,3,3,3
meh
- depth drop x 6
from about hip height, whatever that is
did my mobility just now, before bed. had limited time and space today but still managed to get in a little bit of work. not ideal but that's okay. brother is stable today but still unconscious, i went to see him this afternoon which was good.

devil's advocate: dwight howard was the best defensive player in the league (measured by win shares) from at least 2008-2011 and even last year he was top-10. sometimes it seems like he's not tapping his full potential and that's disappointing but he's still a great basketball player.

WEIGHT: 172
SORENESS: traps
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: normal
- warm up
- squat 260 x 8,5,3(exp),3(exp)
(exp)=explosive, popping the bar off my shoulders.
- bench 175 x 5,5
- DB row 80 x 8,8
- GHR ISO hold x 3; strict reps x 2,2
strict reps are haaaard.
- tuck windshield wiper x 10,10,10
- calf raise 415 x 10,10
more weight next time
- stretch
now gonna eat and then do my mobility workout. i refuse to call it a WOD, as useful a term as that may be.
the downside of the starrett book is that i'm thinking too hard now during squats. i need to relax and trust my form, which is still solid, and not overthink mid-set. also i think my legs were tired from yesterday. might be time to move away from straight sets of 4x8 and switch back to 3x3 + 3x8 once a week and MSEM once or twice a week.

not sure if serious.

lolololololololol that video is cracking me up. something about the insistence of your pointing. haahhahahahahahahahahaha
in seriousness, probably can't hurt to keep doing glute activation stuff like those banded bridges. also, just a guess, but working on posture throughout the day might help -- the first big takeaway i had from starrett's book is that engaging your glutes is sine qua non for maintaining proper posture. something i've been doing consciously throughout every day and it seems to be helping. i even noticed having an easier time maintaining a good stance while playing tennis yesterday. just a thought.
