olympic lifts = upper body hypertrophy? seems like an odd thing to be worrying about in the context.

rolled into gym on monday having forgotten shorts at home. could find none in lost and found (they wash the clothes and then leave 'em in a pile in a back room), although i did find a t-shirt i'd lost. knee has been bugging consistently for a couple of weeks now, anyway, so it probably wasn't a terrible thing to rest a bit. foam rolling IT bands hurts but i've actually been doing it, so that's good. need to set realistic goals in order to have any chance of follow-through. full-body SMR every day is not realistic for me.

went to dinner at parents' house last night so no workout. tonight, hopefully will make rim make loud banging sound over and over.

forgot to mention that on sunday i tried to dunk with a soccer ball and it threw off my approach so much that i felt like a complete tard. holding a tennis ball is weird enough. oh well, just got to suck it up and get used to it.

yeah, refeeds are probably a good idea. from an article about AMPk:

having a refeed/anabolic phase at some point. You need to turn off diet induced catabolism (explaining why people often lean out after a refeed) and inhibiting it in the brain.

yeah the "good improvements" part is what matters. keep on keepin' on!

rock and roll man!

I vote if you can get a tennis ball down you need to buy a mini b-ball and dunk that too!

thanks loopie! i'm gonna try a soccer ball the next time i'm jumping that well. there were too many people around yesterday, didn't want to get owned in front of all the crossfitters.  plus if the ball had bounced off weird it'd have hit someone doing kettlebell snatches or double unders or something, and for all my hatred of crossfit i like all those people and i'm not an asshole.
