I think Crossfit might be one (if not THE) worst thing to ever happen to barbell/strength training sports.

i'm inclined to disagree, but it can definitely be hilarious and/or infuriating.

fwiw, the dude from like 1:40-2:00 in the second vid is definitely trolling crossift. i've seen that video posted elsewhere.

yesterday:

BW = 173
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee much improved but still a twinge when i pull against resistance or internally rotate thigh with knee bent
FATIGUE = moderate

- tennis x 2 hours
shaking off the rust. had some good rallies and some derp moments. fun and good to get the HR up.

- overhead mobility work x 10-15 minutes

- stretch

This dunk alone could have won the dunk contest in all but maybe 2 or three years. :/

fixed. only VC in 2000 (?) and MJ/Dominique in the late 80's could give that dunk a run for its money in a contest. absolutely stupefying.

BW = 172.8
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee worse, right toe
FATIGUE = total CNS shutdown

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 5-6
barely touching rim, worst in a long time. ~30. combo of whatever's making me lethargic plus worries about knee, even though it doesn't hurt while jumping, equaled some terrible freaking jumps.

- practiced some approaches and submax DSVJ x ~18-20 total

- SMR for left ITB, hamstrings

- bench 2 x 5 x 155, 10 x 155
no spotter, had another 2 reps probably

everything else scrapped, no idea what happened. maybe i'm getting sick?

- SMR and stretch

awful.  :uhhhfacepalm:

one of the oly lifters at my gym just got a pair of those. hard not to get hyped to lift when your feet are bright red. but he's tiny -- probably 5'3 -- so on him they actually just emphasize the smallness of his feet.

meh, you're not wrong.

BW = ???
SORENESS =
ACHES/INJURIES = low back a tiny bit post-training, left knee but only in certain movements/positions
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- DSVJ x 3
30.5-31, very good

- DLRVJ x 13-15
better than the other day, best in a while. hanging on rim easily. 32.5-33. dropoff was pretty steep, did a few approaches with no jump after that.

- MR half tuck 3 x 30
third set best, right calf got a little tight

- squat MSEM 2 x 3 x 325
strong except first rep of second set

- bench 5 x 145, 3 x 155, 10(11?) x 165
lost count on last set, lol

- DB row 3 x 10 x 75
no 80 lb DBs in gym, will stick with 75 one more workout and then try 85

- ab roll out 3 x 10 x 145

- SMR x 30 minutes

- stretch x 40 minutes

took some extra time at the end to really dig in a few places. felt good. nice workout

EDIT: diet for the last two days:

yesterday
protein 174g
calories 2495

today
protein 208g
calories 2687

no way, it might show my time to be slower than it is.

thanks anyways

what's the mississippi method?

8173

  Just skip the first rep, start with the 2nd.

lol'd in real life.  :highfive:

8174
nice work man! looked pretty clean to me.

thanks avishek. i'll try to take some video the next time i'm jumping at all well.

i do tend to do depth jumps only as a replacement when the court is unavailable for DLRVJs. i shy away from them in part because there's no easy way to get feedback other than the mirror and my own feeling: it's totally possible that i was jumping as high yesterday as on days where i feel great but there's no real way to know.

what would really help is the jump mat, which my gym has at another location, where it's never used. need to just go get the damn thing myself.

also yes, my eccentric is probably pretty slow.
