WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a wee bit
MENTAL STATE: fucking tired

- warm up

- avishek SL bound x 10m,10m,10m
just awful, lots of knee collapse esp on L

- broad jump x 4
almost exactly 12y

- DL bound x 4,4,4
each almost exactly 12y

- sprint 30m x 3
no times because i still can't find my stopwatch  but felt actually quite twitchy and quick

- 20m fly x 3
these were easier on my knees than the 30m flies i ran last week. the first one was great, much better than any previous. second and third meh.

- 1-2-jump x 8,8,8
meh, mostly crap with a few okay jumps off R

- tempo sprint the straights, walk/jog the curves x 6
gassed at the end of this

- stretch

- frisbee catch x 30 mins
holy shit, the rust. 1:1:1 ratio of good throw to okay throw to crap throw. started better and got worse because my arm and hand got fatigued.  still this was really fun. i forget how much i enjoy ultimate.

now gotta eat and do mobility.

You should film the bounds and 2-leg bounds/broad jumps. Heck, film everything.

you're right. i need to just suck it up and buy a little tripod that i can use with my phone.

so there is a moderate likelihood that i'll move to afghanistan later this year. if that happens, i will continue to train but it's unclear how. at the very least i'd hope to get a bar, some weights, a rack with a pull up bar, and a solid floor. that would allow me to at least power lift and maybe focus on getting reasonably strong for a while. and get really good at jumping rope and depth jumps/SVJ. would be good to have the old 1-2-3-4-5* numbers at a reasonable bodyweight, say, 190. i wouldn't be over there more than a year, i don't think, and if i came back and refocused on jumping and sprinting but with legitimately greater strength, that'd be cool.

no guarantee that it happens but my colleagues over there are trying to recruit me and the siren song is pretty strong. this is something i've wanted to do for a long time. plus no one could touch my swag if i made "faizabad barbell club" t-shirts. for, you know, myself.

also, i've been fantasizing about buying a house. that would be significantly easier after a year of higher salary+no taxes overseas.

*this means:
+100 pull up
200 overhead press
300 bench
400 squat
500 dead lift

Woah. Cool. What do you even do, again?

add an "n" after the "d" and remove spaces. not tryna let this place ever show up when someone searches that url. my organization is the US face of the whole rest of what's on that website and a lot of other stuff, because the site is not very good. i do mostly environment stuff -- disaster risk reduction, disaster response, renewable energy, (human) habitat improvement -- and integrated (i.e., multi-sectoral) programs.

ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
MENTAL STATE: sluggish, pissed because i was twitchy as hell in late afternoon and would have killed any and all workouts

higher effort than usual, liked it

atrocious

- sprint 30m x 3
no times but these were sloooww and plodding

***break***

excellent (???), might have PR'd for my current set up in the second set.

- squat 325 x 1,1,1; 225 x 5,5
legs and back and brain unwilling

- bench 145 x 10+3+3+3

weird workout. i wish i'd been able to leave work around 10 AM because i was flying at 11 and had peaked and dipped by 5, but oh well. now for two days at the beach7 with the gf and her family. not sure what workouts will be available but i'll see what i can do. i haven't been to rehoboth since i was about 7 or 8 years old.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left quad tweaky during warm ups but it went away fast
MENTAL STATE: tired but amped for the workout, especially once i could see the lightning in the distance

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds x 2

- SLRVJ and DLRVJ x 40-50

- run home in the pouring rain

fuck the weather. in particular, fuck thunderstorms that decide to hit right smack dab in the middle of when i'm having a good workout. jumps were better than my last track workout (friday). i went straight to them because i saw the storm coming and jumping is more important than sprinting. now i'm going to do some sprint drill type stuff in my house and maybe some core stuff and then stretch/mobility.
