but the kind of people that LBSS mentioned... i mean wtf? you're in your 20's and want to make a liquor graveyard? i wanna slap that bitch and tell her to grow up. and then all the people on monday mornings telling you how drunk they got over the weekend. nobody gives a shit about how drunk you were. tell me what happened while you were drunk. Anything funny? interesting? important? ive heard the "omg i was so hammered" story so many times before.

hm, interesting look at his foot as he plants. never noticed the heel coming up off the floor immediately like that, as he's planting the forward foot. not sure what burnouts are but going back and look at some of my better jumps -- still vastly shittier than greene's, obviously -- my plant is too much of a jump stop for something like that to make a difference. flat footedness prevails.
to wit:

what are burnouts? i never got air alert.

P-CHAIN AND POWER BLOCK DAY 2
WEIGHT: 179 -- new scale, new frame of reference
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: okay, better as workout went on. new gym is still an adjustment
- warm up
- SVJ x 5
- squat MSEM 330 x 4
amazing, strongest i've ever felt at this weight
- RDL 155 x 8,8,8
figured i'd start light for technique purposes. only really started to feel right in the third set
- BSS 110 x 8,8,8/e
- OHP 125 x 7,7
i feel like these compress my back in a maybe not-good way. need to swallow ego and make sure form is right.
- chin up +25 x 8,2; pull up x 7
right bicep wonky, need more shoulder work before i can do straight bar chin ups
- ab pull down 80 x 10,10,10
- stretch
prediction: hamstrings, glutes, and low back will be sore tomorrow.

« on: December 03, 2012, 05:31:17 pm »Should we say "no" to bench pressing?
IMO you can go much safer with pushups/weighed pushups/elevated feet pushups.
Also, bodyweight lunges seem much safer than doing heavy squats. True story.

Track & Field / WWII fitness test
« on: December 03, 2012, 03:29:17 pm »
this didn't really fit anywhere else so putting it in track and field: http://artofmanliness.com/2011/09/12/are-you-as-fit-as-a-world-war-ii-gi/.
1. pull ups
2. squat jumps
3. push ups
4. sit ups
5. indoor shuttle run (total 250 yards)
would be kind of fun to test this and see how we all stack up. a perfect score is pretty intense, you need 20 pull ups, 75 squat jumps, 54 push ups, 79 sit ups (in two minutes), and 41 seconds in the shuttle run. there are strict guidelines for each exercise. who do you think is the fittest person on the board, by these measurements? my guess is kingfish, at the moment. no one else comes to mind as being very "fit" in this way.

« on: December 03, 2012, 02:48:53 pm »My right shoulder was buggy but I did these cable rotator cuff reps with 7.5 lbs and I think it 'fixed' my right shoulder.. shoulder felt weird for like 1.5 months ever since I tried to bench 225.. feels way better now.
rotator cuff exercise like a boss

« on: December 03, 2012, 02:44:52 pm »at this point why are you still worried about going deeper? your depth is great, you need to keep adding weight to the bar!
Pretty sure you wouldn't approve of my depth on back squats. In fact I remember you told me to squat deeper in the first place in my old logBut have a look at the video first :-
Btw is it ok to backsquat to parallel or just slightly below if i'm doing ATG front squats as well?
word, i guess i figured that because your FS depth has improved so much your BS depth had followed. on that video, you could be deeper but you're at or below the plane.
whether it's okay to BS to parallel or slightly below depends on what you're trying to get out of the BS. hell, some of adarq's best vert gains came when he was half-squatting to pins.

« on: December 03, 2012, 02:38:31 pm »she lives with three other girls and one of them wanted to make a liquor bottle graveyard in their house, frat-house style. the other three were like, um, what the fuck are you talking about, how are you still a child. kind of interesting to see.
That is straight up fucking embarassing. I may be only 20 but ever since I was in high school I could never stand to be around those kind of damn girls...
lol, you should have been in the room when she made the suggestion. everyone else (the other girls including my gf, me, and some friends of ours who are 28-30 and married) was just silent and kind of awkwardly looking at each other, for like five solid seconds. that's a long time in the middle of a group conversation.
