@entropy: yes, of course you can improve your sprinting through training. and of course, if you've never practiced it before, you can get a lot better.

god damn it, i'm hanging out on the bottom edge of the 175-180 range and not even close to 200kg. must continue pushing squat and gaining fats. what was the heaviest you ever got to?

Why do you think you have to gain fat to get your squat up?  If your bodyfat is high enough you should be able to up your squat while keeping your bodyfat roughly even, in fact it might even be easier this way.

the "gaining fats" thing was a joke at myself. i have been upping my squat while keeping bf roughly even, at least by the eyeball test. and it's not like going from 172 to 182 is even that much weight gain. but i'm vain. so i have to force myself to acknowledge and accept that any weight gain comes with at least a little extra fat -- unless you're on drugs there's no way weight gain is purely lean. weight training and keeping caloric surplus in check skews the ratio of gain in favor of lean tissue. that's what i plan to keep doing.

now if you'll excuse me, i have to go back to making some pork chops and praying that somehow matt ryan and demaryius thomas combine for 80 fantasy points in the second half tonight. it's not looking good.

YOU ARE GETTING WEAK, BRO. WEAK.

welcome. this will be an interesting journal to watch. i think vag is right, with your reach and history i bet you get it back pretty quick with some dedicated time in the gym and a solid diet.

on the other hand, you're practically a senior citizen, so you never know. 

I don't understand what's wrong now.

Is the problem me taking sugar; this you are referring to carbs with whey

or taking whey as a post workout, that is should be taken before workout.

thanks

nothing is wrong.

your second and third sentences are not coherent. please rephrase.

lol yeah i was mad.

today:

BW = 174
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- DSVJ x 6

- DLRVJ x 6
way better than i expected, most around 32-32.5. nothing higher but that's not a disaster. hurray.

- MR half tuck x 10,10,10
going for more height than usual, so lower reps

- squat MSEM 315 x 6

- neutral chin up x 5,5,5

- dip x 5,5,5

- stretch

kept volume and intensity way down so as not to kill myself post-trip. could have been a lot worse. the squats were harder than they should have been, but that's okay.

revision of plans. my brother relapsed again tonight so i'm gonna get some quick SMR and stretching done at home and then go out and chill with my parents. rough.

ETA: calf was feeling better but i foam rollered anyway. feels much worse now. lower leg and foot feel weak/enervated. damn it.
