also, it looks like i'll be back in pakistan soon, and maybe afghanistan, too. sucks from a training POV but i'm looking forward to it otherwise. will basically plan to jump rope and do a lot of metabolic stuff during those trips. ross enamait-style, probably. i'm out of shape, god knows i could use a good conditioning block.
in related news, i need a new jump rope. anyone have a good speed rope to recommend that:
1. turns smoothly, without snagging;
2. won't break within two weeks of regular use; or
3. is so cheap that i can buy 5 and not care when they break?

BW = 173
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left knee best in weeks
FATIGUE = low
- warm up
- FUCK CROSSFIT OH MY FUCKING GOD THEY TAKE UP SO MUCH GOD DAMN FUCKING SPACE
- DSVJ x 5-6
near-PR on one of 'em, feeling peachy
- DLRVJ x 5
see above note about crossfit. it's hard to jump when you're weaving through two dozen people doing double unders, badly. every single jump was awful, despite my feeling springy and good.
- depth jump 3 x 5
good
- squat 335 x 1, 350 x 0
my squat routine has not been working, time to try something else.
- bench 2 x 3 x 165, 10 x 165
at least one rep in the tank
- pull up 5 x 173, 3 x 5 x 198
- MB OH slams 3 x 10 x 16
- stretch
weak sauce. squatting was rough after the too-long layoff. squat routine has not been working, as noted about. suggestions welcome, meanwhile i'm going to think about it more tomorrow. also, i have a week off at the end of the month. vacation. maybe i'll do the smolov intro microcycle, with low volume jump squats before the full squats.
plus eat more cows, as kingish says. yes...yes.....

« on: March 12, 2012, 05:23:49 pm »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

« on: March 12, 2012, 09:54:07 am »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.
