- triple broad jump

- DL bound x 3,3
not as far as triple broad jump, although i'm sure that's because i'm pretty good at pulling my feet forward and stabilizing if i don't have to rebound.

Do you know the measurements and differences between the two?  

Your RDLVJ is much greater than your standing right?  

not exactly. it was the first time i'd tried it and kind of a whim. the difference between the first set of bounds and the second was pretty dramatic, too, for what that's worth. if i had to guess, i'd say the 3 x broad jump was about 26.5 feet, and the second set of bounds was about 24.5 feet. will actually measure next time. also, my single broad jump PR is something like 9'2.

DLRVJ is 5-8 inches higher than SVJ. DLRVJ is more variable. i think SVJ is about 25 unless i'm extremely amped or extremely tired, but recent DLRVJ varies from 30-33 workout to workout. when i'm in a better groove with it, as i was in may, it's more like 32-35. all-time PR is about 35.

BW = 172.8
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right toe
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- DLRVJ x ~10
meh, 31-32, but at least it wasn't horrible. approaches started to feel okay, unlike the last couple of sessions. keep grinding.

pleased about squats.

Why do you want to do box squats? And why are you "cutting" going into an important tourney? Are you attempting to get worse?

shhhhh, steven-miller. shhhhh. just let him be. let him be. it's okay. shhhhh now.

i got very little sleep on sunday night, due to work, and then monday was a pretty stressful day at work. by the time i got to the gym i was completely wiped out. was supposed to do a real workout but it just wasn't happening. on the plus side, i went to sleep early enough last night that i woke up before my alarm. hopefully that bodes well for today.

NO FUCKING WAY is voleyball the most watched olympic sport!

Im bored to look too , ill just do a fast google search...


10 minutes later:

Bullshit , there is only one childish written blog that claims the beach-volleyball in 2008 had astronomical numbers, without references at all.
All the other researches show the expected: track and filed is the king by FAR , then swimming and then a bunch of popular sports, basketball , football, gymnastics, almost equal. Beach voleyball is beyond #20.

It's common sense actually, who the fuck is this bald motherfucker? If he had to watch one of his games,  a USA-Spain basketball final, a Lachte vs Phelps swimming final , or the 100m/200m finals , would he even watch himself?
NO!

aw, vag, i was trying to be gentle. anyway, yes. either the director of australian volleyball is deluded or harvey misheard. the bald guy is one of the best beach volleyball players ever, fwiw. he and his partner are defending olympic champs. watched them whup a japanese team yesterday despite playing badly.

is that true or did you make it up? my extremely brief google search showed that, based on the number of articles published about each type of event, the most "popular" summer olympics sport was athletics by a long way; volleyball was 16th. http://www.topendsports.com/world/lists/popular-sport/olympics.htm.

not hating, i like watching volleyball a lot. have you seen viewership data? can you send it? i'm genuinely curious.

The combination of the two disciplines, indoor and beach combine to be the most viewed overall sport, I believe. At least, that's what I was told by the director of Volleyball Australia.

i see. well, i can't find anything on this and, despite my near-overwhelming desire to find viewership data broken down by sport, i have to stop. one of you fuckers without a job, go look this up.

by the metric in the article i linked to, beach and indoor combined would be the 7th-most-popular sport.
