last night:

BW = 172
SORENESS = very mild all over
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- DLRVJ
best since vacation. still not very high, 31.5-32, but so much smoother and less clumsy than what i've done over the last three weeks. reasonably pleased.

- line hops 4 x 20
all 8.9x

- squat 5 x 7 x 265
easy

- L-sit x F (40,20,30)
during first set a girl was like, "damn, luke, i didn't know you could hold an L-sit like that!"  :highfive:

- stretch

good workout. also, VERY IMPORTANT NEWS. i seem to have found a couple of gyms in islamabad with proper lifting equipment. if i can get even three real squat workouts in during the ~1.5 weeks i'm over there, i'll be overjoyed.

BW = 172
SORENESS = a little in legs but barely noticeable
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = low

- warm up
included hip dips.

- tried a few jumps, had a couple of good DSVJ but on second or third DLRVJ i slipped. tried some more but it was ugly. CNS done with that.

- bench 5,5,7 x 185
should have had 8th rep but it was very grindy and spotter gave early assistance. doesn't count.

- pull up 5,5,9 + 10

- SS1: OHP 10 x 55
- SS1: BOR 10 x 55
- SS1 info: 2 rounds
i've been meaning to do some overhead pushing and horizontal pulling. will throw a couple of light sets in at least once a week.

- L-sit x 10s,20s,20s
i'm a pussy, could have done more on all sets.

- stretch

pleased overall. if only i could say that after a jump workout...

Is he purposely placing his heels over the mat?

yes. elevating your heels also helps with depth.

time to try that turmeric root?

yes, thanks for reminding me. while i'm at it i'll pick up some rhus toxicodendron and make an appointment to get my subluxations checked out. oh, and to see what the tarot cards hold for my future. wouldn't want anything unexpected coming down the pike.

turmeric, MSM.

go to an indian store and get turmeric root, it's less bitter than the powder. WIth powder mix some in hot water, or even simmer for a few min.

MSM has worked great for my knees but I don't think it necesarily helps with shin splits. It works well for joints because joits have a high amount of sulfates (highly anionic compounds), and the MSM suppl,ements that qute directly.
TUrmeric is a great anti-inflammatory. Ibuprofen is a piece of shit.

LOL
