Hm, maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. I reach more naturally with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because my left shoulder is higher than my right because (presumably) of years of throwing.

OK vag, you win. 
Should have been 3x5x125. I warmed up and ended up with 25# on each side of the bar. "Aha!" I thought to myself. "Now it's time for the work sets."
They felt super light and I thought to myself, "Holy crap, I'm stronger than I thought! Alright!" Not until I was replacing the plates did I realize my mistake.
OHP 3x5x95

Also, some hilarious news came the other day. My club ultimate team, which fizzled out absolutely at the end of last season and which everyone thought had died a quiet death, may be coming back. The reason: We're named Orange Joose, after the caffeinated malt beverage. Equivalent of eight cups of coffee and three beers in every .5L can. The makers of Joose were doing some trademark research and when you Google "orange joose," 5 of the first 6 links are to our team.
Instead of suing us, they've offered to sponsor us: buy us jerseys, discs, probably a big banner to hold up at tournaments and, assumedly, lots of Joose.
God, I hope this happens. If it does,

Greedy, greedy, greedy.
Because this has been nagging at me for a while, here is a list of material things I want:
1) Risto or Do-Win lifting shoes
2) Bloodlands, by Timothy Snyder
3) 1491, by Charles Mann
4) A meal at Komi, Minibar, Citronelle, CityZen, etc. (That is, a fucking awesome fancy-ass meal.)

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: What should be my strategy?
« on: November 09, 2010, 09:33:21 am »Well yeah... too many eggs aren't toxic or something?
In terms of cardio - that will burn calories... and I can barely take too many to aid in muscle growth already. That's my issue. And I've started to eat really clean these last few days and plan on continuing with that. Hopefully some recomposition will occur.
Two things:
1) Eggs will instantly put your body in a catabolic state. I'm talking as soon as you put them in your mouth, kiss your muscles goodbye. In other words, for fuck's sake, no, too many eggs are not toxic.
2) Light cardio will not burn very many calories, and can help recovery. Don't think intervals, think nice long walks, easy biking, easy rowing, elliptical, etc.

@adarq: This is gonna sound like whining, but there was literally no space to do ME jumps until like 8:15, IOW until I was over an hour into the workout and had done my squats and everything. ME would have been, ahem, weak. I can usually get there either early or late, but yesterday the timing just sucked.
So, you might call that stupid, but it wasn't the stupid thing I was talking about.

Thanks man. Yeah, for now I think it's just too far away. My gym is getting crowded as hell most weeknights, which is annoying. But the location just can't be beat.

Starting to think I'm going to come out of this little stretch without much improvement at all. But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I did something extra idiotic during tonight's workout. Bonus points to anyone who can figure out what it was.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Protein powder
« on: November 08, 2010, 01:07:21 pm »
So after downing 15 pounds of protein powder in last 2-3 months I have swithced to true protein based on recommendations from this forum. I have tried, Cel whey, ON Gold whey before. True protein came in a plain carton and plain bag with no lables, I ordered 25 pounds! to get the recession wpi/wpc blend, I also ordered two natural flavors, chocolate and vanilla. Total bill was 155 some dollars so the eventual cost is $6.2/lb. Cheapest i could ever find. As for tasted, I don't mind it at all. These days my morning shakes consist of a Egg whites from 2 eggs, 60 g (2 scoops) of whey pp, 2 bananas, a spoon of dried coconut powder, a cup of skim milk. No sugar. I don't even need the flavor. It tastes yummy just like that! I use a mason's jar and a hand mixer that I bought from amazon, it cleans so easy.

No complaints so far. Thanks for the recommendation LBBS.True protein rocks!
Just saw this. Glad to pass on the recommendation.
Also, just found out, anyone who wants can use the product code BAN966 at True Protein and get 5% off the cost of the order.

Gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed, guys.

bit of a mixed bag today. jumps were meh, but I think the DL is a PR for a set of 5. scaled bench and rows way back to focus on form.
warm up
shoot around -- mixed, mostly bad. I think having my glasses on complicates things.
core stretches
tuck jumps x10
pogos x5
work
sprint x4x15y
1-step jumps x10
2-step jumps x a few
squat 3x5x260 -- last rep on first and last sets was a little good-morninged
DL 5x325
bench 2x8x135
BOR 2x8x115
ab wheel roll outs 2x20
side plank x45s/ea
cool down
walk home
