Terry Gross is boss although my cousin (an actress) pointed out that she sucks at interviewing actors: infantilizes them or asks insulting questions. But in general she's awesome.

Diane Rehm is also really good, not sure if she's podcasted but I'd guess she is. Her voice is wacky. My uncle (father of that cousin -- talented family) has been on her show at least once.

I only know the rule of the middle finger.

on a roll...

steven-miller's point is true, though. obviously kellyb is not saying everyone will get exactly 30% gains regardless of starting point. it's just a general estimate for what someone in the normal range of ability can expect. although if you have a natural 10" jump, you should probably lose some weight and try again. and if you have a natural 35" jump, fuck you.

I put this up only for people to see, in their own experiences when they have a "flat tire", what's actually going on. Obviously you can collapse at different joints etc, but you get the idea.

You can even see the plant-"attack" wasn't proper either, it's like my body said "hey the glutes/hams are tired, I don't want to load them too much, why don't you load the quad a ton instead?"

remind me to take and post some video of me attempting to jump SL when i get back to the states. then you'll see what joint collapse looks like on someone for whom joint collapse/quad overloading is the norm. a few weeks ago i was jumping with a friend and when i tried to go SL he got this surprised look on his face and said, "oh shit, i thought you were going to take another step. the last step didn't even look like a real plant step."

so instead of getting a good workout in today, i have been up since 4:30 with diarrhea, a headache and all over joint aching -- flu-like symptoms. But I'm sure it's just food poisoning. Felt well enough after work to get a little bit of exercise in but not much better than a warm up. Better than nothing.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = all over ache
FATIGUE = high

- jump rope + stretching + mobility

- jump squat 3 x 3 x 40kg (?)

- SS1: BSS 10 x 26kg
- SS1: DB OHP 10 x 13kg/e
- SS1: DB row 10 x 13kg/e
- SS1 info: 3 rounds, minimal rest

- stretch

for the record, in english, when referring to muscles, the words are "agonist" and "antagonist."

haven't worked out the last three days. on friday there was too much to do before leaving, then barely slept, was in transit (islamabad to kabul), then spent the day completely wiped out. slept well last night but was kept late at work because the driver had left and i had to wait for him to come back before i could get back to the hostel. now it's 8:15 and dinner ends in 15 minutes -- who the fuck ends dinner at 8:30? so it's work out or eat an as much as i want to do it i can't not eat dinner.

damn it.

What's a good mile time for a basketball player

a. as a best effort kind of thing
b. as something he should be able to do any time
c. something he should do often in his training as GPP
d. if a mile is too short to mean anything, then give an alternative distance and time

just looking for guidelines here, i'm going to google around too and post what I come across here for discussion, checking etc.


Between 4 and 10 minutes.
Seriously, not a question that can really be answered.  Basketball players don't need to run miles and milers don't have to play basketball.  Too many variables that go into running a mile for it to be considered a general test of fitness or part of GPP.


THAT IS CORRECT.

to put it another way, the answer to a.-c. is either "it depends" or "why do you care?"

the answer to d. is, "the length of a game of basketball."

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

- warm up

- depth jump 2 x 3
much higher depth than before.

- BSS left RP 12+12+9 x 44kg

- BSS right RP 12+12+9 x 44kg

- pull down RP 15+10+7 x 50kg

- dip RP 15+10+7

- stretch

short and sweet as it's getting late

I think it's taken for granted here and elsewhere that anaerobic activity is superior to aerobic, that aerobic work detracts from strength, speed, power etc.


orly?

had the worst/weirdest night's sleep last night. was super tired by early evening so fell asleep at 7:30. woke up at 8:30, no problem. but was still tired, so lay back down for a little bit. woke up at 1:20 AM. god damn it. took some benadryl, fell asleep again at 2:30, woke up at 9 with a headache from the benadryl. at least i slept through, today would have sucked to the utmost if i hadn't been able to go back to sleep. so 11 disjointed hours of partially drug-induced sleep. and a headache all day today as a reminder. ugh. also i had diarrhea from some fruit (i think) over the weekend and through monday and yesterday i had a freaking hemorrhoid. never had one of those before. it's a treat, let me tell you.

anyway, head hurt too much/was too foggy to do a real workout today. still made it up there, which i'm pleased about. better something than nothing.
