« on: April 03, 2012, 11:57:54 am »what's your reach, scooby?
Yes scooby , what's your reach?
You should post it on your signature , so people can see it. Probably post it both in feet and in inches. Finally, post some other stuff in the signature so that it drags people's eyes , making it impossible for someone to miss it!
shut the fuck up vag, i'll kill you in your sleep.

^^^ do you misspell "reckon" intentionally? you do it very consistently and to be honest, it looks kind of awesome with the "w." like you're gonna wreck something with all your reckoning.

As for training , that's what we do , we build up and then we detrain for various reasons ( work/life ) , that's why we are stuck in low/mid 30's. Your plan sounds solid , go get it!
it's depressing to admit that you're right. i'm stuck in the low 30's because i let work and life get in the way of training too often. i'm pretty consistent and i work hard when i go to the gym but i'm not consistent enough. as long as i'm in my current line of work the travel isn't going to stop anytime soon, but i can redouble my efforts to be consistent in the gym while i'm home.

Is everything ok?
everything is grand vag, thanks for asking! i went on vacation to california and now i'm back. nine days completely off from training and, much more importantly, from work. i barely even looked at a computer. got to hang out with my best friend (and other very close friends), see some amazing sights and spend a ton of unbroken time with my girlfriend (it was her spring break from med school).
now, obviously, i'm sick with my first genuine head cold in a very long time. plane rides are a bitch.
no training today because i got home late-ish last night and didn't have time to unpack or go to the grocery store (my roommate apparently subsists on orange juice, beer, and hope while i'm out of town). also, see previous paragraph about being sick: i'd rather spend a day with a headache and congestion like this spreading germs all over the produce section than spreading them on the squat rack. back at it tomorrow.
also, it looks like i'll be headed to pakistan the last weekend in april, probably for two weeks. means i need to kick ass between now and then. as planned, that'll mean re-doing the smolov intro microcycle, the switching week and the first however much of smolov i can get through before i take off for islamabad. jumping before squatting, as usual, and bench and pull-ups after.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low to moderate
- warm up
- DLRVJ x 10-12
awful, all around 31
- lunge 3 x 8e
- GHR sit up x 10 || x 10 + 25 || 3 x 10 + 45
- stretch

SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate to high
- warm up
- MR half tuck 3 x 20
- BSS 3 x 8e
each rep paused to accentuate stretch in elevated leg
- bench 5 x 165 || 3 x 175 || 9 x 185
- pull up 5 + 25 || 3 x 5 +20
- hanging leg raise 3 x 10
- stretch
starting to get a little tweak in my left lat, under my arm. i did a couple of DSVJs during the warm up but there was just no explosiveness in there. better luck tomorrow if i can get out of work early enough to go to the gym. MR half tucks pretty solid.

« on: March 21, 2012, 11:42:45 am »Well I was responding based on my previous experience. I don't see anything wrong with that. That's the best advice I can give, if he thinks is of any value. For ME personally, that's how I work. There was a time where I would deload every 3 weeks or so, for just a bit. I don't think that was too smart, there's no need to deload when... there's no need. IMO
just giving you a hard time, man. you're not wrong.

check that, whatever's going on in my right calf/peroneal is back. apparently warming up makes it go away enough to ignore but now, several hours later, things are a mess.
i'm going into work late tomorrow so i'll do some SMR and stretching in the morning.

BW = 172 (lightest in a while)
SORENESS = quads but very mild
ACHES/INJURIES = massive trigger point in right calf for much of the day but i worked the shit out of it and seems to be okay
FATIGUE = moderate to high
- warm up
three games of knockout, got my ass beat
- squat 8 x 265,265,265 || 3 x 285 || 2 x 280,280 || 1 x 315
so it turns out that after waking up at 4:45 and working from 5 AM to 5 PM, i can't count. progression should have been 245,265,280,315. but i did it heavier so i ain't even mad.
- bench 2 x 3 x 175, 11 x 175
with spotter (not touching the bar but psychologically it helps)
- pull ups 4 x 5 +20
- walk home
- stretch
so fucking beat. i was sleepy throughout most of the workout but only during rest periods. all sets of squat were excellent, good speed and very solid form. no jumps but that's okay on the third day in a row of squats. got some props on my squats today, too. all in all, a great workout. now it's time to eat and sleep like the dead.
