BW = 177
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right wrist a little but barely noticeable
FATIGUE = low to moderate
- warm up
- DLRVJ x 5
fuck crossfit. was all set to jump at my normal rim and then they decided they needed the area RIGHT UNDER THE FUCKING RIM to do their shitty power snatches. went to other rim but it's harder for me to jump there for some reason. maybe it's higher but that'd be weird as it's a regulation high school gym.
- MR half tuck x 15
- SL bound x 7e -- just for fun
- MR half tuck x 30
- squat 280 x 8,8,8
still solid but need to concentrate better at end of sets
- SS1: dip x 10
- SS1: inverted row x 10
- SS1 info: 5 rounds. did inverted rows on rings and very close to parallel. later sets were hard.
- ab pull down x 30,30,30
- stretch

I follow this guy's log on Lyle's forum, one of the few reasons I still go over there. He's in his mid-40's and currently preparing for Raw Power Lifting worlds. His bench sucks, evidently thanks to shoulder injuries, but DL and squat are strong as shit -- he's aiming to compete at 181 and has a legit shot at setting several age group and possibly overall world records at that weight. He's only 10 pounds heavier than I am and 20 years older but he's nearly 200 pounds stronger in the lift that matters to me. Fun log to follow.
His accessory work reminds me of Kingfish -- everything is very high-volume. 20-rep RDL's, 5x10 band pull-aparts, etc.
Won't link to it because Lyle doesn't like to be linked to. But his YT channel has lots of good vids and is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sullys64?feature=watch.

« on: October 03, 2012, 04:35:49 pm »that's a lot of calve strength!!!
does any one now the minimum requirements for calve strength? I know Kelly Bagget recommends at 1.5 X bw 20 times or single leg calve raises slow and controlled 20 times. Does this sound about right?
THIS QUESTION MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE.

robert burns. that poem is awesome, the opening lines are just awesome:
wee sleekit, cowrin' tim'rous beastie,
oh what a-panics in thy breastie?
thou need na start awa sae hasty,
wi' bickerin' brattle!
i wid be laith t'rin an' chase thee
wi' murd'rin' prattle!
my totally un-poetic translation (real poets have translated it but i can't be bothered to find one):
little sneaky, cowering, timid beast
what's that panicking in your breast?
you need not run away so quickly
with angry squeals.
i'm not going to run and chase you
with a murderous stick!
even good translations have NOTHING on the original, though. wee sleekit, cow'rin', tim'rous beastie...best description of a mouse in the history of the english language.

If I let my arm rest against something (like the margin of a table) in an effort to relax my biceps, the value grows from 13 to ~15.
value of what? i always took my bp lying down, for what it's worth.
The high value. I think it's the systolic pressure. If you have 150 with 85, I mean the "150".
then why did you omit the 0's? whatever, anyway, that's weird. also, yes, the higher number is systolic.

the calculators do pop up when i click on the text, but they still just show up as text. the icons showed up when i first opened up the forum earlier this morning but now they don't. except the gorilla.

putting in youtube videos doesn't seem to be working. it's happened to me a couple of times now: copy past the url, highlight, click the youtube button on the toolbar, post, "#invalid youtube link#."
also the weight_converter and 1RM_calculator icons aren't working for me, they just show up as text.

so....see a doctor? this has been a problem for a long time and a medical professional has never given you any kind of advice or diagnosis?
