« on: March 10, 2011, 12:01:57 pm »Can i do the broad jump in the sand pit? Or does it have to be on an even surface?
not that i'm the judge, but i feel like even surface keeps it fair. we don't all have sandpits to jump into.

« on: March 09, 2011, 11:32:17 pm »Crossfitter at my gym just popped his achilles. That is some ugly shit.
How did he do that?.
low box jumps, done crossfit style where you're bouncing up and down onto the box for very high reps. saw him fall and he yelled a bit and that was it. there was like .5-.75 inches of separation between the tendon and the bone, you could see it. yeesh. wtf is happening at my gym. dude tore his pec last week bench pressing and he's not even a crossfitter i.e. injury-seeker, he's actually a pretty experienced power lifter.
anyway,
BW = 171.7

FATIGUE = mild

Snatch practice, went really well. Mike asked if I'd been practicing and when I said no, he said well, something must have just clicked. I'm still the noobiest of noobs, obviously, but I finally felt like I had something I could build on with it. Worked up to hang snatches with OH squats at 84 lbs/38.2 kg.
Primary thing to work on: Shoulder mobility/stability. I can't do a BTN sots press with anything heavier than PVC. I can do a BTN press standing up, no problem, but not when I'm in the bottom of the squat. And I'm a bit wobbly in the OHS.

Program Review / Re: Holosync
« on: March 09, 2011, 05:53:49 pm »Hey I have heard about the Holosync cds from Jason Ferrugia.
I think it is a little costly, but what kind of benefits does it give?
Is it really worth the price?
DO NOT PURCHASE THAT BULLSHIT.
I guarantee you, sight unseen, that it's overpriced crap at best. At worst, it's utterly useless nonsense.
Give me a fucking break.

Lol, I just realized the 40 pound jump from my last volume session. Meant to do less than that, but it felt okay so whatever.
Also, I don't like not doing upper body, or relegating it to circuit-type stuff. Going to add an upper day at least once per week and will probably do some light cardio or whatnot on that day. Maybe right after volume day. Tonight, going to do snatch practice (last session) and, I guess, some OHP and DB rows.
Also, I'll be out of the country from 3/18-4/3. Hotel is fancy as shit (chairman of our board owns it so we get discounts), so I hope the gym is adequate. The place is down the street from the national sports complex, so may try to figure that out. Probably won't have time, though.
Need to be sure I have a solid plan before I leave, just making note of it now.

Program Review / Re: Body Weight Programs
« on: March 08, 2011, 03:02:21 pm »Let's say one reaches an upper body physique and strength level they are satisfied with. Would doing push ups and chinups/pullups with BODYWEIGHT only like every other day be enough to maintain that muscle mass/physique and strength in the upper body?
A freaking useless question.
What physique level is the person satisfied with? Manny Pacquiao? Brad Pitt in Fight Club? Tommy Jeffers? Ronnie Coleman?
What physique level did the person start out with? Super skinny? Lean and muscular? Burly, i.e. chubby but with solid muscle underneath? Straight-up fat?
