this morning:
- shoulder external rotation mobility
- general leg stretching
calves are sore, hamstrings and glutes still sore but not as bad.

« on: December 06, 2012, 02:17:40 pm »I don't have a problem with VAT tax. The problem is that stuff that comes from the USA come up with HUGE transport taxes, customs taxes and warehouse taxes, and you need to go to some kind of warehouse to get it from.
Thanks but I'm not available for that kind of an effort.
what are you talking about? i was gloating about things being cheaper and more freely available in the US, nothing more.

VAT is value added tax. most european countries charge it for clothes and shoes and stuff, i dunno what else. can be like 16 or 17%. makes shit REAL expensive, in addition to the euro being worth more than the dollar.

@vag: as is often the case with in-game dunk videos, the bench reaction is the best part.

« on: December 06, 2012, 09:46:57 am »12/5/12 Wednesday BW=160.6
bench 8x135, 8x175, 8x185, 6x205, 6x205
calf raise 180# 3x12
pull up BW 12,8
feeling lean today, sore in a good way, and confident I can achieve my goals.
so i guess the workout before was a mental focus issue.

living in america rules. everyone ships here and you don't have to pay VAT so shipping usually ends up being "free" after you take off the VAT costs.

P-CHAIN AND POWER BLOCK DAY 3
WEIGHT: 179.5
SORENESS: hamstrings, glutes pretty bad
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good mood, happy, CNS not too amped up, though.
- warm up
- SVJ x 6
- depth jump @18" x 4,4,4
pretty bad, i think, although i wasn't near a mirror so no frame of reference other than feeling
- KB swing 28kg x 10,10,10
focus on explosive transition and glutes firing all the way through full hip extension
- calf raise 135 x 20,20,20
did these with a barbell before noticing that there is a leg press machine. problem solved. adequate calf strength, here i come.
- dip x 10,10
- low cable row 130 x 10,10/e
- decline sit ups, touch knee with opposite elbow x 20,20,20
- beach work
- stretch
soreness dissipated by the end of the workout. it's still there but not as bad. hindered SVJ and depth jumps. i'm a bit apprehensive to see what happens with the old bball court (see above post). if i could even get on there an hour a week, that'd be awesome. we'll see.

« on: December 05, 2012, 09:08:53 pm »Yup, I was actually thinking about what you said... I definitely need to get these shoes... hopefully I won't get the sucky powerlifting shoes.
I'm thinking of getting the Adidas ones from eastbay, even though they're expensive.
just get rogue do-wins. they're like $80 cheaper than the adidas ones.

what's wrong with your knee that it hurts even on HBBS? try leg curls, maybe? BSS with front foot close to the bench, so knee flexion emphasis?
