Life/work has gotten in the way of training this week. Way not enough sleep + high stress = worthless training session today. Had to be at work at 7 AM today so last night was even less sleep than the rest of the week (~5 hours).

warm up
shoot hoops -- awful, couldn't focus, form sucked, blah
foam roll
core stretches -- even more tightness than usual in hip flexors

work
sprints x4 -- slow
1-step jumps x6-8 -- one 30, one 29.5, everything else ~29, just felt really shitty

Canned it there because there was no way I was putting any kind of weight on my back. Gonna eat, veg out for a little bit, go to bed super early and go get it tomorrow.

speed/reactivity focus

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.

warm up

foam roll
core stretches
more jump rope

not throw in some ME jumps??? last jump session = nov 5, get it in!@#!@

as long as everything is feeling good, you might want to start throwing in some depth drops and progress over the next few sessions (18, 24, 24, 30, 30, possibly go higher than 30, ie, around 34 tops .. ).. 3x5.

nice w/o.

@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.

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, 

That Joose sponsorship is fucking awesome.

Sounds awesome. Hope you get it.
