« on: October 15, 2012, 09:27:21 am »spine is compressed during these exercises. I prefer to do isometrics with bands or a swiss ball. My old boss said the spine was compresed not too sure
why would that be? i mean your spine is somewhat compressed as long as your torso is upright, but why would those exercises compress it more?

why not allowing weaker limb to dictate reps per set and total reps? my impression has always been that it's better to use the weaker limb as the equalizer, to prevent exacerbation of the imbalance.

Nature, Wilderness, Hiking, Travel, and Misc Outdoorsy stuff / Re: Dubai Fountain - amazing
« on: October 13, 2012, 05:44:44 pm »cool. first shot reminds me of how awesome dubai looks when you're flying in at night. it's this blaze of light and then utter blackness as far as you can see in every direction. impossible to tell what's land and what's water.
sick.. ya i was expecting you to comment.. how was your experience there? i'd love to visit.. maybe it's not as illustrious as it once was, due to the economy issues, but i dno, looks really cool from all of the vids on utubes.
it's a weird place, man. definitely take a day if you're ever on your way somewhere and go through there, but it's not worth visiting as a destination. too expensive, too weird. the last time i was there and actually left the airport, i went to the mall they have with an INDOOR SKI SLOPE. here's a pic, it goes up and to the left out of this frame. costs like $60 for a "lift ticket" and it's legit snow. people are in parkas and shit. i got a beer with my coworker in a bar that has the exact view of the picture below and watched the strangeness of arab snowboard assholes buzzing people while it's 110 degrees outside.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: October 13, 2012, 05:40:36 pm »nice on the msem squats, how explosive were the 320's ?
also, you found out any info on a new gym yet?
pC!
they felt slower and heavier than i feel like they should have, but not slow enough to be grindy at all. more like i just couldn't maintain form, concentration was off somehow. suffice it to say i won't add weight next time and will hopefully be in a better state of mind.
as far as new gym, i'm leaning toward the really expensive place because i think it's got the best chance of court availability. will try to get on a month-to-month setup there so i can leave if i hate it. either way i'm holding out at my gym as long as possible.

SORENESS: edit: tib anterior but very light
ACHES/INJURIES: something wonky in my right anterior hip but only in a very limited ROM, not worried about it
FATIGUE: low
- warmup
- 10 yard dashes to fire up: 10 yards x 5
- low volume max effort jumps after warmup (~5-7 x 2) - if feel very stale, 1-step lead ins
court in use, subbed
- depth jump @18" x 4,4,4
not bad, there's nothing to reach for in the gym but most were easily 25+
- ME MR halftuck: 5 x 5
weak and slow
- ME MR pogo: 3 x 5
last set best
- C1: MSEM squat: 4 x 320
- C1: JUMP SQUAT: 2 x 3 x 95
- C1-info: two rounds
- S1: dips x 15,15,10,10

SORENESS: edit: tib anterior
ACHES/INJURIES: something wonky in my right anterior hip but only in a very limited ROM, not worried about it
FATIGUE: low to medium
- C1: jump rope x a bit
- C1: stretching/mobility x a bit
- C1 info: switch back and forth, worked on some JR moves.
- C2: 45 pound plate push half court up-and-back
- C2: 3x as many pushups as plate pushes
- C2 info: partner workout because one of the crossfit guys that i actually like a lot needed a partner. 5,4,3,2,1 trips per round, rest was whatever you could get after you finished your plate pushes and pushups and the other guy was doing his plate pushes. no idea how long we took. wasn't especially hard although i was slower at the end than the beginning and my legs were all jacked up afterward. i'm out of shape for that kind of thing but was just planning to jump rope/mob/stretch today anyway so i figured why not. crossfit didn't invent workouts like that.
- more mob, glute activation, and stretching
