WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: awake but kind of blah, not very amped

- warm up

- SVJ x 10
went for PR's, as prescribed. best was about 1.5 knuckles over the vent. no idea how high that is, i'll try to remember to bring a measuring tape the next time i'm at the gym. right knee tweaked on the third jump but i shook it out and stretched a bit and it was okay.

- pull ups x 13
went for a PR, strict form. weak

- push ups x 32
as above. weak. my posterior delts fatigued first. what's up with that?

- GHR sit up, elbow to opposite knee x 60
max reps in 120s. not as horrible as the above. didn't have a spotter so i used GHR, think i could get close to 79 with a spotter on the ground.

- stretch

I mean, the root of most mental illnesses is a problem with the heart and mind.  Some physical aspects of it can be genetics, but after all we all inherit something inevitable; human traits/characteristics/flaws.  Obviously there is a GREAT mind and body connection, and mental illnesses do cause some chemical imbalances in the brain and vice versa, and there are meds that help chemical imbalances, BUT that won't fix the core problem that all humans have, which is this need to feel good, content, happy, joy, etc.  It's just that most people look for those things in the wrong areas of life.

thanks for the words, man. i disagree with you but appreciate the sentiment all the same.

killing it on the squats, man, good job.

How did the 32 kg KB swings felt like?

felt easy but like, "why am i doing this?"

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings and glutes a tiny bit
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good, jittery

- warm up

- SVJ x 7

- depth jump x 4,4,4
pretty bad. on the plus side, i found something in the gym i can reach for and touch to get a sense of how high i'm jumping. only works if the gym is uncrowded.

- KB swing 70.5 x 10,10,10

- DB OHP 60 x 4; 50 x 8
60 was really heavy, much more than i'd have expected

- DB row 65 x 8,8

- SS1: curlzzzz 30 x 10
- SS1: tricep pull down 130(?) x 10
- SS1 info: 2 rounds

- stretch

WEIGHT: 177.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: distracted for obvious reasons

- warm up

- SVJ x 7
didn't feel very explosive

- squat MSEM 330 x 4
there must be something in the water over here, this was great.

- RDL 225 x 10,10,10
i'm probably doing these wrong, nevertheless felt primarily in glutes and hams

- BSS 110 x 8,8,8
knees felt bad after doing them. ???

- SS1: OHP 55 x 8,8
- SS1: low cable row 160 x 8,8
- SS1 info: no rest between sides, about 30 seconds between exercises

- ab pull down x 25,25,25

- stretch

I'm guessing you're meant to do the exercises one after another with no rest? I might give this a go when I'm 100% again. I know I could probably do the situps and pushups, 20 strict form pullups would kill me though.

i don't think it's quite with no rest. it was meant to be done with large groups, in waves. you can probably take 5-10 minutes between.

also, are you sure about the sit ups? they're to be done with legs straight, and elbow to opposite knee at the top of the movement. takes a bit longer than a regular sit up. i don't think i could get 79 in 120 seconds. or 54 push ups chest-to-floor, for that matter.

my brother got arrested for robbery last night and is in jail. 

dafuq???
How old , what kind of robbery , why would he do that?
Not being indiscreet , don't answer if its personal...

don't know particulars but he was surely stealing whatever it was to buy drugs. my youngest brother is mentally ill and a hardcore drug addict. it's a very sad state of affairs when i'm relieved that he's in jail. deeply sad, too, obviously. but that's a general feeling, not specific to him being in jail.
