Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: ~8.5 hours
last night fell asleep: ~4 AM
wakeup = 11:30 AM
bw = 148
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = hamstrings moderate (right more-so), quads slightly, calves slightly
aches = none
injuries = toenails slightly wrekt, right elbow tendonitis barely (always)
standing desk (when on computer): none
feel = good but slightly sore
water = alot

Food

11:30 AM

- greek yogurt
- green tea

Food

3 PM

- banana

Session: Evening

5 PM

walk + study:
- 6.32 mi in 1h:34m:27s
- ~4 mph
- didn't push it
- got lots of great studying done.. added 200 notes prior to going out to walk

- left ribs cramping (that weird 'heart attack cramp', but it isn't severe when i cramp here when walking)

Food

7:30 PM

- coconut almond milk

Food

9 PM

- 3/4th pint haagen dazs java chip ice cream, while watching GoT

Food

11:30 PM
- crappy meal, miss my stir fry

- 1 cup of rice, with some butter/salt
- 2 southwest style egg rolls with sour cream
- some mixed nuts
- beet + tart cherry juice
- green tea
- a few chocolates
- 2 x wheat bread with peanut butter

lots to do, but hoping I can get people signing into the 'new forum' come july.. just to give it a look, not a switch over. If people say it looks good we'll discuss a switchover date and then boom, once we switch over, we'll be in some custom code where the possibilities are endless. It's still going good, but have tons of stuff to do. This is a very fun project and I can't wait to be able to be "in it 100%".

this is the only project i'm working on, and the only project I will ever work on, until I get it solid + amazing.. i've wanted to do this for a VERY long time.

tmw i plan to do two sessions:
- afternoon: sprints
- evening: jumps + a short ~3+ mi run.

tons of programming done today.. fixed some major bugs in the migration script - which is great, everything migrating good now. very fun to see the data flood in & take shape. the next few days will probably be non-stop front-end, need to keep chipping away at that. In a few days i'll probably need to start addressing some backend optimization stuff, ie; right now if I need to perform several queries for a thread: thread, user who created it, latest thread post, thread stats -> i do them all sequentially in the code.. so I can speed all of that up huge if: I do some raw custom ugly queries, or 2: I use an async/concurrency library. I'm going with option #2. There's a few things I need to modify before I implement that, but it's on my mind.. once that is implemented, I probably won't even need to optimize the front end -> it'll be so fast initially.

another thing I have to address is, migrated user registration.. if you're a new user, everything is fine.. but, if you're an existing user (migrated from this forum), need to get that to somehow link together via the email we registered with. I'm avoiding any custom login mechanism, instead everything right now is from Google or Github via OAuth2.. this is much better because you guys won't have to remember an extra password etc. I'll probably also add registration/sign in via facebook/twitter to make it even easier... but ya, linking existing accounts together is not built yet.

i'm closing in on sub-40 min 5k walking PR.. I wanted that one yesterday, but fell slightly short.

We have around the same max vertical reach. I think that it's gonna take a year or so for me before I can start going to the gym to throw down lobs on 10. You think you're around that mark? I also wish I was a one foot jumper too lol.

A reporter asked him during one of his conferences or some shit, a lot of articles pop up if you google it. It just boggles my mind that there are people, more than this 1 reporter who believe that he hates women so he is staying in the race lol

well, if I can stay healthy, I think much less than a year tbh.. at the rate i'm going right now, I might be able to throw down some weak dunks in ~3 months off L-SLRVJ.. but that all depends on whether or not I can jump consistently (injuries not getting in the way). My training is starting to converge into something that feels maintainable; with more of a focus on power/recovery than distance/volume. This is why i'm a bit more optimistic now.

I also wish I was a one foot jumper too lol.

ya I think i'm more of a natural 1-foot jumper.. or maybe it's just the "millions" of layups I did over my lifetime. After a very long period of detraining, I just feel more comfortable jumping off of one leg, rather than two. I think that's a telling sign.

high socks, XC flats, and tons of jumps at a bball court: adarq siting.

yeah but did you bring your knife and beanie?

actually.. yes.. i just didn't mention it. lmao. I didn't have the big bowie knife, but I did have my "tactical" pocket knife which I can clip to my shorts and I had a black beanie

nearly full adarq mode.

if i ever get in shape, im def taking an instagram photo with a knife in my mouth .. but running out of time and motivation lol. #reverse #atrophy #then #hypetrophy #2016 #bernie,.

I see. Yea, it's gonna take me way longer than 3 months even to throw down weak dunks lol. My standing reach is like 7'8-7'9 too, so I have to jump higher than you. Also about that, when I used to play basketball, we would warm up with lay up lines, and a lot of us would be going up off one foot and seeing how high we could tap the backboard. This is why I can touch rim off my right foot I think, you had to go both left and righty during layup lines. I also think one foot jumping feels comfortable too btw. It all got messed up by being quad dominant though. Wish I can return to it one day.

extend the deadline and drink a fuckton of cappuccino for motivation.

ya my reach is ~8' in shoes, definitely helps. Wish it was like 8'6" though... lmao.

you keep mentioning this quad dominant stuff.. i dno, it doesn't seem to me like you're hitting your hamstrings/glutes enough? I just get that vibe.. if this quad dominance you have is somehow really a problem, you could focus hard on your hamstrings/glutes. I personally am very happy for my "strong quads". If they were somehow so strong (or p-chain so weak) that I would consistently get knee/tendonitis issues in my knee when jumping, I would make sure they are actually strong enough & that's not the reason for the knee issues, jump less frequently, jump with less intensity, sprint, and target my p-chain hard.

soreness = right hamstring slightly

Food

12:30 PM

- 2 x wheat toast with peanut butter
- green tea
- beet + tart cherry juice

Session: Afternoon

3:30 PM
- 90F, "feels-like" 98F, 60% humidity
- damn, getting hot.
- strike: midfoot
- shoes: nb 5000v2

runs:

1. 0.07 mi in ~25s
- left rib cramp slightly

2. 0.11 mi in ~36s
- left rib cramp barely

3. 0.26 mi in 1m:21s
- ~11.6 mph, ~5:09 min/mi
- this warmup run felt sooo great.. thought I was going to PR my mile today because of how good this felt
- felt pretty effortless, held form good

4. 1.01 mi in 5m:45s
- 1mi: 5m:42s
- 1km: 3:20s
- speed: 10.5 mph
- tried to not go too hard early on.. wanted to hold a more consistent pace. failed to do that but it was a decent run.. wasn't as nice as run #3 in terms of how it felt.

~400's

5. 0.25 mi in 1m:14.9s
- ~12.2 mph, ~4:55 min/mi

6: 0.25 mi in 1m:14.0s
- ~12.3 mph, ~4:52 min/mi

7. 0.26 mi in 1m:07.5s
- 0.25 mi in 1:05
- ~13.6 mph, ~4:24 min/mi
- ran this "all out", a real sprint.. funny how it's only ~9s faster than my previous two runs where I was focusing more on just a strong powerful run
- need to get this under 1m eventually.. I think my best ever was 1:02 ?
- technically, a recent PR, but since I ran it completely all-out, i'm counting this as the baseline
- both quads were TOAST..
- going all out for 400m is probably something I should get better at.. feels great afterwords, really toasts my legs. mentally tough though.

right hip flexor didn't bug me much at all after.. was great. definitely some improvement.

Food

4:45 PM

- coconut almond milk

Food

6 PM

- milk
- greek yogurt
- green tea

Session: Evening

8:30 PM
- shoes: nb xc900v2

run to court:
- 0.53 mi in 3m:14s
- 9.8 mph, 6:08 min/mi

jumps:
- ~30-40 jumps each, L-SLRVJ & R-SLRVJ
- pretty much everything submax, had some great jumps though
- probably ~10'4-10'5 max but since I kept it submax, I think it was decent
- did lots of runups from half court -> felt great
- some of those half-court runups were full acceleration, then i'd just submax/lightly bounce to get ~10'3-10'4.
- also did a few runups from 3/4th court away, which is really far
- the fact that I felt so comfortable running up and jumping from so far, seems good
- felt very bouncy but legs definitely fatigued
- R-SLRVJ jumps were all very light but felt great

run:
- 3.17 mi in 22m:21s
- 8.5 mph, 7:04 min/mi
- splits: 6:40, 7:22, 7:22
- 1k: 3m:55s
- 5k: 22m:06s
- left rib cramp slightly to start, but disappeared
- felt great, but also dead.. meaning, lungs felt good, mind was good, felt bouncy, stride freq was good, just lacking that extra power due to fatigue.
- so, pretty happy with this run.. first time i've gone over 1.5 mi in quite a while.

drenched.

afterwards, hip flexor felt a little worse than I wanted it too.

both quads are fried.

calves seem fried.

good stuff.

next time I might go lighter in the afternoon session so I can hit the evening session harder.

Food

10 PM

- 2% milk

Food

11 PM

- big stir fry: grilled chicken, 5 carrots, tons of zucchini, garlic, kalamata olives, 1/2 green pepper, jalapeno pepper, serrano pepper, olive oil, salt/pepper, mixed nuts, goat cheese at the end
- 2% milk
- 4 chocolates

feel pretty beat up.. good stuff today. i'll probably be forced to rest 2-days (just walking) before I can repeat this workout.. so looking like a Saturday session. If I eventually end up recovering in just 1 day, i'll allow myself to experiment with training more frequently; but with that 1 mandatory rest day after each session. so 1 day on, 1 day off.

pc!!

pc!

I've been ignoring/stretching/foam rolling my quads and hitting glutes/hams hard for more than a year now. Only deadlifts and leg curls recently though. I think the best exercise for glutes would be the hip thrust, but too bad I can't do it at my gym. Yes, strong quads were definitely a good thing back when I was a RL 2 foot jumper, but it was terrible for me when I started trying to change into being a one foot jumper.

Not sure what you exactly mean about the last part, but yea, I'm guessing if my knee keeps bothering me I'll have to jump less or even stop jumping at all, start sprinting, and keep hitting my posterior chain.
