overhead holds are pain, even just with BW if you do 'em long enough. we had a winter workout in college that involved overhead holds with just the hands. went on forever and your shoulders were toast by the end.
did you read the article in the atlantic about NCAA revenue sports?

i've known this for a while but it was good to have it articulated: gonna start working on 2-3 mobility things at a time. i think that will help me do it in a concentrated way every day.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: upper quads, hamstrings, low back but all mild
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder (wtf?)
MENTAL STATE: good, pretty focused for jumps, then gone after squat fail
- warm up
- sprint 10y x 5
- DLRVJ x 10
somewhat good, mostly 31.5-32 but felt faster, lighter
- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5
- ME pogo 3 x 5
- squat 325 x 3,1(F)
- pause squat 225 x 3,3,3,3
could not even begin eccentric with 315 so after resting for longer than i thought i dropped way down and did these. first reps were hard to begin despite light (even for my weak ass) weight.
***realize the gym is closing soon, what the hell happened to all that time?***
- OHP 115 x 8,8
left shoulder no pain during reps but wonky afterward. no idea what that's about.
- fin.
weird workout, kind of a waste but the jumps were not awful so there's that. i'm pretty sure i lost weight and/or muscle over the weekend; my diet sucked. must needs get back on good eatin' horse. starts now.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Kelly Starrett's YouTubes -- organized!
« on: November 26, 2012, 05:52:45 pm »
I like the MobilityWOD videos as much as the next avid gym-goer with too much internet time on his hands. But that website's organization is absolute garbage. Impossible to find anything. So Bryce Lewis, a beastly power lifter whose video I just posted in the appropriate thread, put together an Evernote with the videos organized by muscle or bodypart.

Three cheers for Bryce Lewis.

yesterday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: upper quads, hamstrings, low back
ACHES/INJURIES: mid-back spazzing
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- sprint 10y x 5
- DLRVJ/DSVJ x 10-12
just unbelievably bad. back was freaking out and i couldn't even hit 30" on DLRVJ, so i decided to just stop and stretch.
- stretch x a fuckton
- knockout 1-on-1, first to 25
- a bunch more DLRVJ and SLRVJ
my buddy showed up as i was finishing up stretching and i felt like a failure for cutting the workout off, so we played knockout for a while. then i was feeling looser so he and i did a bunch of jumps. he's the opposite from me: can almost dunk off one leg (he's 6-1, 210 and pretty powerful, played high-D1 baseball) but can barely touch rim off two. my jumps still sucked but not quite as epically as before, and it wasn't enough to be really fatiguing. better luck tonight.
side note: oddly, i seem to be better off of my left leg on SLRVJ. my right leg has been stronger for as long as i can remember, but i can't get the timing right off of it, compared to left. i end up not taking powerful-enough strides at the end and my leg kind of farts out. with more practice i think i could hit 30 off of each.

you're probably right.

the word of the day is "float." i watched some of my jumping videos before i went to the gym today and the biggest difference from the good ones to the bad ones was the degree to which i look to myself like i'm floating across the court until the penultimate step. more float = more speed without forcing things. or something.
WEIGHT: ??? bit bloated from awesome thanksgiving
SORENESS: upper traps, abs
ACHES/INJURIES: none
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- 10y sprints x 5
pretty bad, left toe bugging
- DLRVJ x ~12-13
meh, 31-32
- SLRVJ x 3e
i think i PR'd on my right leg. after a really awful jump i told myself to get lower on the approach and that seemed to work. something like 28.
- ME DL bound 5 x 5
fourth set was really bad, otherwise okay, ~half court.
- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5
bad
- ME pogo 5 x 5
not as bad, focused on plantar flexion on takeoff
- OHP warm up
- DB row 30 x 18e
- stretch
30 minutes later
- touch football x 2 hours
fucking fantastic. so much fun.
