quick side note: my youngest brother is in the hospital again. checked himself in on monday after an apparent heroin and cocaine bender (he likes to freebase) that started on friday. he didn't OD but i assume felt like shit as he was coming down, so he rode the bus to the hospital and got himself into a bed. not the first time this has happened, he's been addicted to drugs for years and he's seriously mentally ill, so normally this would be nothing new and i wouldn't post about it.

but my parents are at the end of their ropes: they had NEVER asked me to do anything until yesterday, when my dad asked me to do them a favor through a connection i have. that, more than anything else, is freaking me out right now. i went to talk to my boss about it, basically to say that i'm gonna take a bit longer lunch break than usual so i can do this favor -- not important what it is -- and i realized i'd been trembling a bit. still am.

i love my brother and have been worried about him dying suddenly for many years but that worry doesn't often surface. i'm exuberant but very emotionally controlled and independent, so when that quality breaks even a little bit it's very distracting. i'll go to the gym tonight and put in as much work as i can but it might not be my best work.

not fishing for pity or sympathy, just noting it down because it's having a pretty big impact on my ability to focus.

The girl in the pink dress, with the amazing body and face, is that your wife and-or girlfriend?

i demand link to pic

no gym yesterday because my friend had box seats at the legg mason tennis tournament and i've been wanting to go for YEARS. it was great, got to see james blake smoke the shit out of david nalbandian from like 15 feet away!

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = feet still a bit swollen/achey, knees scabbing over but still painful
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- stiff leg ankle hop 2 x 30

- squat 2 x 5
225,225

- chin up x 7

- dip x 7

- stretch

used this workout mainly to do some serious SMR, get the blood flowing a little, re-grease the squatting groove, and stretch a lot. today i'll try to see if i can pretend like the last week never happened and do 5 x 7 x 260. should suck but hopefully i won't fail. gonna eat a bit extra throughout the day to make sure i'm fueled up.

  You thought wrong.  The 40yd dash is pushed so heavily and sprint coaches have nit picked every detail from the big toe to the top of the head.  The vertical jump is coached primarily as "jump".   There are of course exceptions but most combine training facilities are "practicing" the vertical jump, while teaching in detail sprint technique/starts/every step in the race.

this is why i will never be fast, shitty big toes. 

from the weekend:

BW = ???
SORENESS = biceps, obliques, abs, traps, hip flexors, adductors, quads
ACHES/INJURIES = persistent cramp in middle of left foot, both toes bugging, right toe hurt like an absolute bitch yesterday, missing most of the skin on my knees and left elbow
FATIGUE = none

best. weekend. ever.

1. team went 3-3, should have beaten at least two of the teams we lost to but who cares, we were on the beach!
2. with very few exceptions all our opponents were cool, spirit was really strong.
3. i love the team i went with.
4. i played really well and made some insane plays, the kind you make and both sidelines blow up and people are still talking about them the next day.
5. i'm not in as bad shape as i thought i'd be.
6. the weather was perfect, could not have been better. and the water was perfect, too, nice and cold.
7. the parties were awesome.
8. i'm sore but not cripplingly so, burned but not too badly. walking a little gingerly today but i've experienced much worse after tournaments before. the one thing i'm worried about with working out tomorrow are my knees: bending them is kind of hard and the skin is very raw. i still have sand embedded under my skin there, lol.

i already can't wait for next year.

jesus christ, you go so low on the countermovement!
