is it ever ACTUALLY winter down there, though?

Haha this year is the first in a long time we've had a proper winter. And by proper winter it's hovering between 12-16 deg Celsius so I know that's not cold by US standards but it's still pretty average.

lol coges that is NOT winter. i live in what's technically "the south" in the US* and i'd call 12-14 just about ideal for picking apples on a pleasantly crisp fall day, or a fast marathon. no wonder australia doesn't produce long-distance runners, it's way too hot!

i think eric lives in upstate new york -- he gets probably the realest winter of anyone on here. two meters of snow kind of winter.

*i.e. below the mason-dixon line.

Haha.  Yeah I know. We rarely even have winter down there though. Normally we just have revolving seasons within the day with the occasional cold or hot day thrown in for good measure.  If the sun is out then I'm all good. When it's overcast and raining non stop that's when I'm hanging for warmer weather.

My sister actually just moved from Thailand to Michigan so I'm sure she'll be telling me about a real winter soon.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES: none but sick as shit for most of the day

no doubt, what'd she move to michigan for? and whereabout? i went to college up there (university of michigan, in ann arbor).

Her husband works with GM. They're over there for the next couple of years. Around the Rochester area I believe.

word. well, she'll be able to tell you what real winter is soon enough. 

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings (hello, DB swings)
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DB jump squat 35s x 4,4,4

- squat 315 x 2; 135 paused x 10
easy does it

- dip x 15+5+5+5

- inverted row x 15+5+5+5

- stretch

very good workout. in the next block, i need to spend some more time working directly on p-chain activation. moar glutes.

yeah, it means rest-pause. so do the 15 reps, take 4-5 breaths, do 5 more, repeat. each mini-set should be challenging for the scheme to be effective, borge fagerli recommends going to within one rep of failure on the first set and then doing mini-sets until you can't hit the target number of reps anymore. that's how i usually do it, just decided to shoot for 30 total reps today instead. not sure why. it's a way to get a decent amount of moderately heavy reps in, quickly.

yep, it gets so bad in Oswego ny they line rope along the sidewalks around the college so when it snows people can find their way around and not walk into the road.  Looking at the numbers from this/last year, from december to february we already had anywhere from 109-150" of snow which is on the low side.
