no problems. My wrists are way worse now than when I was doing handstands regularly. That and back bridges are on my to-do list.

just got "home" from work (still living in the hotel) and am both starving and having a little indigestion. no workout tonight, gonna just order some straightforward room service, do a little more work, and pray there's something watchable on HBO Pakistan.

How's the move feel so far? Have you been able to settle down or is it still very new to you?

super blown, thought i was going to get to play ultimate tonight but getting into the diplomatic enclave is stupid. i'm fucking american, but i can't even get to my own embassy without some kind of extra stupid fucking little access card thing that i don't have yet. i don't even need an american card! could be british, or french! bah.

gonna go do something less fun in the gym now.

EDIT

ACHES/INJURIES: none
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: hungry but otherwise fine

- warm up
jump rope + joint circles + walking mobilizations

- skater jump x 20,20

- split-hurdle jumps x 4 sets
from that video adarq posted of the woman high jumper in the park. looked like fun. kind of uncoordinated but i'll keep doing these from time to time.

- one-step RVJ x 5,5

- GMB wrist mobilizations

- superset x 3,5,7,5,3
-- pull up
-- dip

- lunge x 72,72
did much shorter steps on the second set. great glute pump, kind of felt it in posterior knee. will stick to longer steps.

- stretch

didn't have wifi all weekend, hence no posting.

friday
- nada, or, i forget

saturday
- moved house, nada

sunday
- ultimate frisbee x 1.5 hours
super fun. wore tennis shoes but it didn't matter, this is a really low-key game. i was the best player on the field by a fair margin and i haven't played in 4+ years. throws were off, field sense was off (although that had a lot to do with the game being completely chaotic -- only a few of the players knew what a force is), but wind was surprisingly good. and i'm not all that sore.

- GMB wrist routine

today
- hiking/rock scramling in the mountains x a while
flew up to the far north, about 15km from the afghan border. did a lot of walking around plus a trek up and down an incredibly steep pitch to see some check dams. my shins and calves are going to be sore tomorrow.

- GMB wrist routine

y'all it is going to be hard to work out here. might need to shift to AM workouts because i'm going to have some late nights as a matter of course. tonight i'm just going to drink.

set my alarm for 6:30 AM, let's see if i can get myself out of bed and do something meaningful.

i can only imagine why you drank.. last night sucked.

might take a while to get into morning workout mode again, maybe just go warmup and do a few sprints and call it a session (something like that).. better than nothing, until you potentially get on rhythm for morning training.

pc!

wow this is the longest non-vacation journaling gap i can remember. did get some exercise the rest of last week but nothing to write home about. i think the deck-of-cards workout plus some jumps and stretching is going to be my go-to, especially until my jump ropes arrive. it works as a warm up (the combo i did on saturday -- diamonds=bed dips, hearts=band pull aparts, clubs=lunges x2, spades=toe touch crunches -- took about 15 minutes and i broke a light sweat) or as a more challenging workout (could come up with a harder set of exercises, e.g. with burpees, or go through the cards multiple times).

fight on.

ACHES/INJURIES: none
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- deck of cards
clubs=squats x 2, spades=toe-touch crunches, hearts=chair push ups, diamonds=band pull-aparts

- SVJ x 8,8

just trying to adjust my internal clock so i can be getting up earlier. once my running shoes get here i think i'll start running some mornings.

evening

- pistol x 5,5/leg

- shrimp squat x 10,10/leg

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- drop-step jump x 4,4/leg
way submax, floor is marble and very slipper

- circuit x 2
-- SL reverse hyper x 20/leg
-- SL bent leg reverse hyper x 20/leg
-- leg lower x 20

- stretch

hidden benefit of not being able to really train: the constant, low-grade pain that i've been living with in my left hip and right knee -- for so long that i don't even journal them -- seem to have reduced dramatically. didn't even notice until i went to do pistols today.

LBSS · « **Reply #3925 on:** November 16, 2016, 12:58:43 am »

morning

ACHES/INJURIES: low back a bit tight, prob from doing the leg lowers on a really soft surface (bed). stupid.
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- joint circles x 2

- lunges with twist

- GMB wrist routine x 2/3

- some other mobility stuff

That's awesome.. rest ftw.

Lately I feel like I need a week off or so.. I might do that some time in December, would probably be a smart idea.

UNTRUSTWORTHY.

will stick to face-to-face meetings here thank you very much. there's no real dating here, everything is people meeting in groups and then pairing off from there. feels a bit like high school in that way.
