fucking fuck. have felt like crap all day, was feeling better by the time i went to the gym but apparently not with it enough to bring my lifting shoes. tried to work out but it just wasn't happening so i'm going to try again tomorrow.

did end up warming up. shot around a little bit, which should have been the first warning sign: everything was short. driving me nuts. then did sprints and tried a few jumps. after one good one-step, everything else blew and once the crossfit class started taking over the gym i was done. mobility and stretching and home. early bedtime tonight.

Zetz: I work in international development, particularly on humanitarian aid and disaster risk reduction.

Couldn't find this before, but here's the NY Times shitting all over the book: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/07/books/07book.html.

A typical quote from the review:

Worked 11.5 hours yesterday and 11 on Friday, plus I started getting a headache last night, slept like shit and the headache is still there this morning (although not as bad). But I got my shit done when I said I would, and it's not as much of a piece of shit as it was when it came across my desk from Pakistan. Plus props from my boss (and her boss) for the work. Plus I just got off the phone with Afghanistan, which (at least from the point of view of my job) is a shining beacon of clarity, transparency and good work compared to the shitshow that is Pakistan. Always nice to talk to my people in Kabul and Pul-i-Khumri. So now I'm in a good mood, apparent cold be damned.

Gonna see if I can leave work a little early today, get to the gym with plenty of time to warm up and jump without anyone else around. Fingers crossed.

When I did tucks and pogos in my lifting shoes a week and a half ago or so it actually felt great. I was surprised.

Basketball / Re: Blake Griffin needs his own thread - This guy is a freak
« on: February 07, 2011, 06:17:09 pm »
lebron has played his entire basketball life in ohio, first akron, then cleveland nba.. everyone in that city/state thinks they own lebron and he "owes them" by staying there his whole life.. im glad he took a big heaping shit all over those fans by going to miami, look how they reacted.. death threats, burning jerseys, booing him, tons of youtube video rants, etc..

_that's the point_, fans will turn on you in a second so there is no loyalty to begin with, and lebron understands that.. he's seen it happened to plenty of player's in the nba, nfl, mlb, etc.

LBJ is probably the only franchise player to leave the team at/before his prime though.  is there anyone else that did pulled this chicken shit stunt like he did??

Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal.

Relative strength list

Squat
LBSS - 1.94 - 145.5/320 @ 75/165 - no video, it was before I had a camera
Damien - 1,76 - 150kg @ 85kg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pQL-bnULc
Flander - 1,52 - 170kg/374lbs @ 112kg/246,4lbs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur1360AevCw&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Deadlift
Damien - 2,41 - 200kg @ 83kg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kok8JLTX-k4
LBSS - 2.17 - 163/360 @ 75/165 - no video

You just gotta believe me. Haven't tested 1RM in I don't know how long, so these are old. Also I'm about 2kg/7lbs heavier now. Once I've gotten strength up a little bit more I'll test again. Next up: 182/400 DL.

5. Given how grindy OHPs have gotten, I'm going to slow down on increases there. Stick with 135 until it's a bit easier, then add 5 lbs. If that takes 3-4 workouts, then okay. backcycle to 120 and build back up again.

lol, i know exactly why u changed that :ninja:
