BW = ???
SORENESS = right rear shoulder, bicep, and wrist extensors
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low to moderate
- warm up
- squat 315 x 5,5,2
- hanging leg raise x 10
- stretch
had to make it a quick run to the gym in part because i had trouble finding the place. damn google maps. no idea about bw but based on ab definition i'd guess i'm a little bit lighter than last week. kind of mad about the squatting but whatever, i'm on vacation. hitting all five reps on the second set is an improvement, and i think i'm closer to 170 than 175, so there's that.
brothers didn't end up coming, hoping to go again with one or both tomorrow.

at beach in NC now. been getting in lots of low-to-moderate intensity exercise (swimming, tennis, walking, driving range, etc.) eating, and relaxing. been trying to keep calories up but it's fucking vacation so i'm not tracking. so far, so awesome.
gym tomorrow, will see about hitting 3x5x315. at least one brother might come with, which would be fun.

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Push Press and Basketball
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:12:23 am »I remember someone who said "people of the past had much more interest in the standing overhead press vs. pushing something from the chest while laying horizontal on a bench".
there were much less shoulder injuries back then as well, due to the balanced nature of prioritizing the OHP and using the bench press more sparingly.
really? seems like kind of an odd claim.
whatever, just being anal.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: comparing staple foods
« on: August 17, 2012, 10:41:55 am »Do u know what staple means?? Also moderation except when it comes to FONT SIZE BRAH
staple foods are staple foods only to poor people in poor countries. you live in the first world. you can eat rice AND wheat AND corn AND potatoes. so eat them all in moderation if you want to, and don't worry about it.
lol about the font size. just be glad i put it at 90 instead of 150.

re: fred hatfield: i stopped reading at, "Do NOT allow your hips to drift backward, your knees to drift inward or out beyond your toes, or your torso to incline forward," because it's physically impossible for you not to do those things. look at any picture of him squatting, he's doing every single thing on that list except letting his knees drift inward.
you're thinking about the positioning of the weight in completely the wrong way. look harder at the picture raptor posted. the lower the bar, the closer to the center of your torso, the closer to the center of your torso, the more of your torso needs to be on the other side of your center of mass for you not to fall backward.
getting stronger in the squat will make your squat go up, full stop. don't pick at the minutiae like that, you're getting distracted. just work on getting stronger, both of those squats look fine.

i was gonna say something snarky and clever about physics and something something something but raptor nailed it. just look at that picture, it's not a hard concept.
