I see. So you did two cluster sets of 20.

and in each of those clusters you did 8-pause-6-pause-6

dreyth, you may be our greatest genius. good work.

SORENESS: edit: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left elbow during KB swings
FATIGUE: low

- warm up

- jumps with bands 2 x 3

- SLRVJ x 6

- two-step RVJ x 6

- depth jump 4 @ 22" | 4 @ 18"

- SVJ x 5

- random core shit

wanted to do real jumps but the fucking old guy game was taking up the whole court even though they were short handed. painful to watch those dudes play. they're so, so bad except for two somewhat younger guys, who are slumming in the game: both are skilled and could hold their own in regular pickup but i guess they're lazy. was supposed to do bounds and shit today but forgot until afterward. bah.

the jumps weren't bad, though, so that's a positive.

To me, that's a regular crossover. Not sure what's so impressive about that.

it's the moment, not the move. allen iverson, as a rookie, the most hyped rookie in a decade, going up against the michael freaking jordan, who was, among other things, one of the best if not the best one-on-one defenders in the NBA, and crossing him up.

it's one thing to cross up an AAU kid in a showcase game when you're an NBA talent. it's quite another to make michael jordan look foolish.

here's another thoughtful, even-handed piece on doping in sport and why people seem so gleeful about lance armstrong's fall from grace, from a psych professor in england.

excerpt:

As with fairness, it may be rather simplistic to insist that doping-free sport eliminates risks. Elite sport in particular can reward all sorts of risk-taking, but opening the door to more drug use again seems to potentially worsen the problem. For this author at least it’s this issue of safety that finally leads to a parting of ways with Savulescu and Foddy. I’m not sure I can get comfortable with a sport where a legitimate route to winning is for young athletes to push the limits of pharmaceutical assistance. Should I be comfortable with sport that encourage pushing the limits in other ways? Perhaps not. But that doesn’t mean I want to open another avenue of risk. There is the possibility of improving safety with medical supervision, but a glance at the motley collection of doping medics who populate recent sport memoirs leaves me a little low on confidence that this would help.

The involvement of those dubious doctors, though, highlights a counter-argument and brings us back to the issue of illegality itself compromising safety. As with recreational drugs, if a substance is permitted there may be a greater incentive to improve its safety (rather than at present where the emphasis is on undetectability), and for people of greater integrity to become involved in its supervision. In the end the issue pivots on whether you can argue convincingly enough that, as in the case of something like heroin, prohibition actively contributes to the risks via dodgy suppliers, unsafe drugs or badly controlled administration. If someone could make this case might it change things?

and another excerpt:

Another way to look at it though is to consider the possibility that Armstrong is not quite as reprehensible as all that. It could be that we are seeing (as Tyler Hamilton and others have suggested) someone trapped inside a lie that’s too big for easy escape and driven by fear. Fear of failing, of discovery, of loss of the esteem which some still have. How would most people deal with that? How would you? Armstrong’s public stance of studied (or pretend) indifference is quite agonising to watch. It may be that that he is simply an ordinary person, albeit in extraordinary circumstances, with weaknesses and flaws like the rest of us. And this is the heart of his problem: if you’re Lance Armstrong, the journey to just being an ordinary guy is a long, long way down.

VICTORY.

 

Right, it's cheaper per gram than other sources. If you buy bulk and go for the unflavoured kind it works out the cheapest. A student on a budget i'd def go with bulk unflavoured wpc. Provided you can stomach it and don't mind the taste. And flavoured WPC isn't too expensive either if you buy it in bulk although it's obviously more expensive than unflavoured.

basic flavors are free at trueprotein.com. just sayin'.

ok if I should take about 2g per kg of bodyweight I defently need some protein powder. Cant do that with normal nutrition I get about 25g at breakfast 30-40g at lunch and 30-40g for dinner in between that meals I´m drinking about 0.75l of milk per day and take some other snacks
But whey is to expensive for me as a student. On which things I should take a look when I´m buying proteinpowder ?

yes you can. but whey is as cheap or cheaper per gram of protein than almost any other protein source. gold standard and elite whatever that mr. big mentioned i'm sure are fine, and he's right on about making sure there are as few additives as possible. kingfish has a good hookup for WPC, can't remember what it is. i buy mine in bulk from truenutrition.com. comes to about $8/pound, shipped. i get vanilla with no sweeteners or any other additives. it's high-quality and mixes deliciously in smoothies and chocolate milk. i even put it in oatmeal from time to time.

last night:

i was standing in a small apartment full of people, mostly black. everyone was there to watch the howard-morehead state football game. all the pregame festivities were going on on the tv. i didn't know anyone except my friend jesse, who i'd come with. but i can get into pretty much any sporting event so i was standing up near the front with a couple of dudes, including this one guy who was visibly nervous/excited. he was wearing a big horse-skull mask that covered his whole head. i asked who everyone was rooting for but in the middle of the question i realized that we were in DC, and a bunch of people had "H" on their clothes, so obviously everyone was for howard.

jesse was wearing pants with paint intentionally splattered on them and someone made a comment about it. he got kind of bashful about them after that. then he left the apartment and went out into the hall and up the stairs, and after a minute i followed him. to climb to the next level i had to go up the stairs part way, then jump to the railing on the next landing and swing myself over.

that's it.
