I... I just don't...

come on now, you've been around long enough, he's been around long enough. in the words of my friend jimmy, of beast skills fame: you can't heal the world. let it go.

this is where i was last week:


Rakaposhi Mountain. It's about 7800 meters high.


The Hunza River viewed from a 1000-year-old Buddhist fort. Can you tell which side of the river is irrigated?


Me standing awkwardly on top of that fort.

also who the fuck downvoted me 200 times?

Probably the same person who did it to me a few weeks ago. Hmm, who do we know on the forum that is known for this sort of BS?  ;D

i'd make a comment about all the time you'd need to waste to do that much but i probably spend more time on here than all but a few members, so  :-X

50x3 in the powersnatch is better than me... although I do have to worry about missing the lift so... that's a big limiting factor.

weird. it is not challenging for me.

lol, no relevance at all. just an awesome experience. might post some pics later in raptor's landscape thread. holy shit the hunza valley is gorgeous.

anyway, last four days of trip:

- some calisthenics and bw exercises and stretching
not much, just gejufla. wrists are fucked, pushups painful because of extension+pressure.

today:

WEIGHT: 175.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: happy, excited

- warm up

- snatch warm up, power snatch 40kg x 3; 44.5kg x 3; 50kg x 3
power snatches were easy but i can't seem to catch them lower. will keep working with lighter weights at full depth and trying to improve depth with heavier weights, while progressing power snatch. or something. coaching needed. anyway.

- paused squat LB 255 x 5; HB 255 x 5
had a dude take photos of me in bottom position, to compare mechanics. he kind of fucked it up but i'll take a closer look later. if the difference isn't that huge in terms of uprightness and knee fold, i'm switching back to my hybrid squats. they're so much more comfortable. will continue with full pauses either way.

- circuit x 3; 0-30s rest between exercises
-- back extension x 10
-- GHR x 8
-- ab pull down x 20
-- dip x 10

- stretch

great workout. wanted to sprint but it was pouring so no go. CNS very high right now, very twitchy feeling.

7014
take all advice with a grain of salt.

today, i flew in a helicopter for the first time. longtime dream realized, and it couldn't have happened in a more beautiful place.  :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record: :personal-record:

literally no time to myself until right now, i am wiped the fuck out, and i have to wake up at 5:45 tomorrow morning. no exercise.

i was trying to get back to my house from somewhere having just arrived in DC from a long trip. i had some heavy luggage with me. i was close enough that i could have walked but it would have sucked and i was in a hurry. i saw a guy i work with and a woman i took to be his wife driving by and flagged them down. they said sure, they'd give me a ride, but it'd cost me like a taxi. i said fine, fine. but the traffic was really bad so the ride ended up being very expensive. i had them drop me off short of my house, and then i didn't have exact change and they couldn't make change, so we had to go into their house so the woman could give me change. at some point during the ride my coworker morphed into a dude who in the dream i knew to be one of the people from lyle's forum. but he didn't know who i was. we ended up sitting around and talking in their house for a while, no idea about what, and then i said i had to go, "see you later, carlo," and he was surprised and then grinned. he told me to check out something on the forum and then stretched out like a cartoon dancer. then i left.

easier to move more weight but not necessarily easier on the legs. kingfish, for example, credits the pause with reducing the stress on his joints and allowing him to squat daily without injury. he and others have also pointed out that a paused squat is a truer test of power, because it removes the stretch-shortening cycle from the equation. more like a snatch or PC in that way: you have to go from a dead stop to full extension.

although kf does cheat with some mini-bounces from time to time.  :P

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: motivation very low, do not feel like exerting any effort

- warm up

- superset
-- jump squat 16 x 3,3
-- SVJ x 3,3
on first and second reps of second set got oddly hyped for SVJ and went really high. no way to measure here but significantly higher than all other jumps in pakistan so far.

- BSS 52 x 8,8
rear foot up on plyo box and no sneakers = very uncomfortable. gym was crowded so couldn't use a bench. this was not challenging.

- superset
-- pull up x 7,7
-- dip x 7,7

- leg press 190 x 15,15

- ab roll outs 28 x 10,10

- stretch

good to force myself to go but other than the one or two jumps this was a crap workout.
