yesterday felt sick so did not gym.

today:

WEIGHT: 176
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: loose, good mood, but not especially bouncy

- warm up

- rudimentary hops (barefoot)

- SVJ x 5
25-26.5

- depth jump 20" x 5
mostly 26 or ?, one 27. next time will use box between low and low-mid.

- SVJ x 2
27, 25. first one clearly benefited from the depth jump priming.

- squat 335 x 1, 275 x 4,4
will open with 345 soon. 335 went up well but i pushed it last time and regretted it. warming up high-bar messes up my positioning for the work sets, need to be careful about that.

- push press 145 x 4,4
hard

- C1: back extension x 10,10,10; +15 x 10
- C1: decline sit up +30 x 10
- C1: pull up x 7,7,7; inverted row x 10
- C1 info: 4 rounds. last round used a little bar for the back extensions.

- stretch

Noted, i'll copy the form above. Thanks!

Btw LBSS i remember reading in your log a long time ago about running into a jump but at the last second just abruptly coming to a stop. Is that a thing I should try as well?

nah don't bother. i can't remember who suggested that. i tried it a few times but your time is better spent on other things.

really interesting suggestions. i might have a hard time with the first one due to court/track access issues: even when i can get on a court it's early in the morning (very sub-optimal for me) and there are a bunch of dudes playing basketball on it until 20 minutes before it closes. my SVJ actually seems to be progressing now, and so is my squat, so i might stick with this current split for a little while longer, maybe until i can do my whole squat warm up high-bar without much discomfort.

if the basketball court starts being available on sunday afternoons, then i could do this for a while:

tuesday:
- SVJ low volume
- depth jump low volume
- squat up to heavy single + back-off sets at 80%
- push press
- circuit

thursday:
- SVJ low volume
- jump squat
- squat up to heavy single + back-off sets at 80%
- push press
- circuit

sunday (ME - go for PR's):
- sprint
- SVJ
- DLRVJ
- broad jump
- DL bounds

and once squat stalled to, switch to the JackM split. is it really only twice a week?

thanks for the input.

you might want to start with lower volume depth jumps than that. 4x5 is kind of a lot.

Squatting is efficient if you're trying to drive your SVJ up because it increases your strength which the SVJ is dependent on.

I don't see the mechanism for transferring full squatting (bs or fs) over to RVJ because the knee angles are acute whether single or double leg jumping.

I would think heavier partial squats (quarter to half) are more applicable to RVJ. Is this well known in our circles btw?

adarq got a lot out of partial squats to pins. not sure who else has tried it -- for some reason i remember kf doing partials but he doesn't care about RVJ so not sure that it's relevant.

these are my thoughts, copied from a post i made on lyle's forum:

It was the worst movie I've seen in a long, long time. I can't remember the last time I had the impulse to walk out on a movie but if I'd been alone I would have. Bored me to tears, almost none of the jokes were funny, nothing happens, every scene is 1/3 too long. That's the same problem Peter Jackson had with King Kong, btw. A director is too busy smelling his own shit particles and massaging his balls while moaning sweet nothings to himself to listen to his editor saying, "Hey, Quentin, I don't think this sequence needs to be quite that long."

By about halfway through I couldn't wait for it to be over and it just kept grinding along, to my mounting disbelief. The female character was a vacuous, trembling, empty hot body. Sam Jackson was not even a tiny bit funny. I wanted to slap the various people in the theater who laughed every time he opened his mouth. "Oh! Look! A black man dressed as an older black man said something disrespectful to a white man in a movie about slavery! SWEET MOTHER OF MARY WHAT HUMOR!" God even the music was awful. I love Rick Ross as much as the next suburban-bred white kid but what the fuck was that song doing in there, thrusting its dick in your face after an hour and 45 minutes of setting-appropriate music?

The only redeeming qualities were the charisma of Waltz, Foxx and DiCaprio, who are all fun to watch. Especially Waltz. But all-in-all, what an atrocious shit dribble of a movie.

For the record, I'm not generally a Tarantino hater. I liked Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown and the Kill Bills a lot.

bumping this post because literally everyone else in the world is wrong about this movie except me. it sucked donkey balls. actually, it tried to suck donkey balls but the donkey was like, what the fuck are you doing, bro, so it sucked rat balls instead.

new kicks. these are even more garish than my last pair. ugly sneaks ftw.
