Well, i should elaborate more: I am not 5'10'', i am 6' barefoot. But i have very long neck and big head , also long legs. So, to get to 6' with them, the main body i have would be a 'normal' body size for someone 5'10'', maybe even lower. Still, long hands, yes. Great for dunking/basketball etc, i feel what you're saying.

MOAR MIRIN.

 

also, how the F do some people do 20+ (1+ sec paused) dead hang? lmao. who knows maybe you'll get there eventually, seems really hard to me. would be sick if you got to 15 dead hang. For me, arms/lats just die out & don't recover. Imagine i'd need to add weighted variations to really try and bump that up, because i guess it's just taking too much strength to knock out each rep, even though they feel light/smooth initially.

pc!

lance cud do them at 220lb .. beast. I think i could have done them when i weighed 75kg or less but i dont think that counts. ha ha. wud have to train for it tho obviously cos i never did high rep sets (For me 6 was the highest, weighted but).

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : overall legs kinda tight/stressed, mostly quads and glutes
Injuries/aches : none

1½ hours full court basketball.
Bad.
Didn't sleep to well. Worked out legs 2 days the same week before bball after some time. Finally, I have a lot of work lately and i am being extremely creative and productive but i think the mind drain has a toll on my body too. All those combined gave a bad result:
Was slow, was weak, was numb. Felt legs had explosive power in them but I wasn't able to bring it out. Fitness was a bit improved, still mediocre though.
Better luck next time!

I think the condition of the mind is just as crucial to performance as the condition of the body....

Agreed. CNS drain that eventually leads to overtraining is highly affected by your state of mind and stress levels. Even a moderately challenging workout routine can overwork you if you have chronic stress and especially traumatic events. So important to manage stress levels.

I remember Lyle (body recomp guy) had an article talking about hitting a very abrupt point of overtraining and he really emphasized that issues with his personal life were major contributors to it. He was out for like half a year after that I think, so scary sounding

i'm mirin` your dead-hang pullup PR.

+1

ETA: also, once shoulder is healthy and i can start doing proper upper body training again, i'm adding pull ups/chin ups to the list. gf's new roommate, who's also my friend, has a chin up bar. gonna race joe to the OAC.

By googling OAC i presume the race is about achieving a One Arm Chinup. I researched a bit too. OAC is cool, not sure i've got it in me but why not, I'm in. 

I was never in, but i'm also out. OAC scares me. lmao.

Big work attack, FML. Tyrna do what i said in the season beginning, minimize losses...
