the mile time falls into, as it says on the list, "other goals that are not important, just things i'd like to do at some point." the first set are all things that i think will help me with my primary goal, or at least not counteract it.
here's a good question for you, t0ddday: if i ran the 60m in 8.3x yesterday, what's a reasonable newbie goal for the summer? i'm going to try to get a more accurate time soon, at the very least measured on a track and not grass. but pretend it's 8.3x. realistic to shoot for 7.8x? too ambitious?

spent a good amount of time today working on my left wrist and forearm. also rolled my legs out with tiger tail at work. gotta keep that up.
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: mid back but only after i started bounding (?)
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good, content, no stress until late in the workout
- warm up
incl. A-skips, B-skips, SL bounds x a bunch. some bounds stiff leg and some not. i am atrocious at SL bounds. oof.
- broad jump w/reset x 4
a bit more than 36' total on turf.
- DL bound x 4,4,4
~18" short each time, last effort worst.
- two-step SLRVJ x 8,8
submax to work on coordination. still, ugh.
- 60m sprint x 3
in sneakers on turf into headwind so very much unideal conditions. self-hand-timed and i think i cheated myself a bit. timer started before movement and stopped after i was across the 65 yard mark. still, just for the record, it was awful: 8.5, 8.6, 8.3
will try to get more accurate numbers next time, or have a partner.
gf called me at this point and had a super duper extra irritating logistical question that had to be answered right then but that i wanted to deal with last night and she just couldn't. it took forever, i got pissed, almost bailed on my tempo, then didn't.
- tempo 100+100+100+100++100+100+100+100
first set slower than second in part because wind died down. 15-18s.
- stretch
god i'm slow.

you could get vine if you have an iphone. clips are limited to six seconds but it's designed for really easy sharing and you can embed them. just a thought.

http://deadspin.com/here-are-the-top-10-dunks-from-the-nba-season-477558121
list is a travesty because it doesn't include the JR smith alley-oop where he catches it at his waist and reverses it. still some awesome dunks, though. linked rather than embedded because the link has it full-size.

straight forward toes are fine, you don't want a big turnout. more straight-forward toes + more externally rotated legs = more stable base + more muscle activation = stronger squat.

time to review my goals. more or less in order of importance:
1. dunk a basketball (i.e., 37" RVJ)
2. 30" SVJ
3. SMR and mobility work every day
4. DL bound x 4 = DL broad jump with reset x 4
5. 60m sprint in X.Xx (will update when i have a baseline)
6. proficient in snatching
6a. BW snatch
7. tempo x 2000m in 15-16s/100m
8. KF-style squat @ 80% of regular squat 1RM (325)
9. fix OHP form (incl. fix left wrist pain)
9a. BW push press
10. proficient in SL bounding
11. pull ups x 20
the number one thing i notice is the most obvious. my main goal is to dunk. in order to do that, i should be practicing dunks or at the very least jumps at a hoop. i need to redouble my efforts to make that happen; the avenues i've pursued so far haven't panned out but if i want to put my money where my mouth is that has got to be a priority. no excuses.
some other goals that are not important, just things i'd like to do at some point (sort of in order):
1. muscle up with ease for reps
2. free handstand hold x 5s
3. human flag
4. standing backflip
5. normal squat 405
6. snatch 220 (100kg)
7. jump rope SL double unders for reps
8. jump rope criss-cross double unders for reps
9. 100m in 11.x
10. mile under 5:15
11. complete oly-distance triathlon
12. get back into ultimate, make a nationals-caliber team

My 9 cents... do whatever you have the most FUN doing, youll be onto some new phenomena next month and what you do this month will have absolutely no significance whatsover. Main thing is have a lot of fun and get ready for the next month of program hopping when you notice your big toes arent up to par.
hey now, my big toes are NEVER up to par. not something i only notice between programs.
