trigger point release/dry needling are worth a look. probably a significant amount of woo, as with chiropractic, but without the risk of them herniating a disc in your neck.

Definitely. I'm gonna book in with a deep tissue therapist guy who does all that stuff next week and just get him to work the living hell out of me. Can't get freaking headaches every time I squat. Also, what's woo? Lol.

voodoo magic stuff, phenomena believed in far beyond the reach of actual scientific evidence.

If I take weight off the bar and do more reps I'll get weaker. Yup. I believe that completely. If I want to maintain or improve my strength I have to maintain or add weight to the bar. I can't see a way to circumvent this :/

what the...who the...how did you...what...fuck...what??!?!

if training with a set stimulus stops working, you change the stimulus. in what universe does that make you weaker?



the way i see it, this post has a few possible explanations:

1. a sudden and unexpected switch to active trolling
2. a sudden and unexplained amnesia regarding everything you've read in your own log and on the forum more generally
3. a sudden and unwelcome descent into hyperdunk-level stupidity

dropping weight and training in higher rep ranges for a little while could be exactly the stimulus you need to break through current plateaus. you cannot possibly be ignorant of that.

WEIGHT: 177
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: wanted to sprint, was very primed, but rain prevented that so settled on gym

- warm up

- snatch drills

- paused squat 285 x 5,5

- superset x 3
-- SL hyper +20 x 10; DBSLRDL 90 x 10; 50 x 10
-- pull up x 6,6,6
was not getting the right leg positioning with 90 lbs for SLRDL, so dropped weight. will continue with these as SL hypers are messing with my knees and SLRDL is also good for balance.

- SL psoas pull 35kg x 15
- heel walk x 50
- assisted GHR x 15
- stretch hip flexor/psoas x 60s
- stretch hamstrings x 60s

- paused calf raise 365 x 15

- pull up x 10

- hanging leg raise x 10

- stretch

meh. really wish i could have sprinted but made the most of it. snatches were okay for a while but then everything went to hell. i think sans coach i just have to cop to an attention limit with these. they're not physically challenging while i'm learning the technique and i don't want to spend an hour on them per workout if i can't actually move weight.

i guess i just don't find that boring or unexciting.

tried to find a highlight reel of spurs dunking and doing flashy shit but other than some between-the-legs passes and ridiculously difficult layups, there ain't much. 

can't get over this pic. it's fucking amazing. look at these three. LOOK AT THEM.

be REALLY REALLY CAREFUL letting chiros near your neck.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: kind of out of it, pissed that the field i wanted to use was closed

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds 10y x 4
avishek SL bounds: small bound alternating with a bound for height

- broad jump x 4

- DL bound x 4,4,4
meh

- alternating 1-2 SL jump 40y x 4

- easy-fast-easy x 10 strides each segment x 4
the field is bumpy and terrible for sprinting, and no reliable distance markers.

- stretch

workout sucked but better than nothing.

thanks for the thoughts, raptor. inhibition is definitely a problem for me on max DLRVJ; my best jumps have come when for whatever reason i'm able to go fast and smoothly into and through the plant. not sure that's true for sprinting or SLRVJ -- SLRVJ it's still more a hamstrings/calves weakness issue. but it probably can't hurt to throw some light potentiation-style stuff, as you suggest, into the ends of my workouts. might do those weight-free right now.
