later in the day yesterday the headache faded and then returned as a worse migraine than the one i'd had over the weekend. ended up vomiting and then going to the ER, where they gave me a super-NSAID plus anti-emetic plus diphenhydramine and a liter of saline and sent me home. next time i need to go to the ER for something non-life-threatening, i'll go back to that one (georgetown). today i've felt basically hungover, there was obviously no way i could do anything resembling training. definitely time to see a neurologist.

Track work 7:

Dynamic warm up
------------
30m sprints ++ broad jumps/double leg bounds ++ medium box depth jumps
Did 3 sets of this "superset": 1 sprint, 3 broad jumps or 1 4-double leg bounds and 3 depth jumps

Also did some jumps with the PowerJumper (1 band) and some trap bar deadlifts with 100 kg (surprisingly found a trap bar)

Best broad jump: 2.35m
Best 4-consecutive 2-leg bounds: 10.05m (+95cm)

Bodyweight: 89.9 kg (-0.3kg)

Here's a video of the double leg bounds:

Notes

Took me like 15 mins longer than normal to get out the door this morning. Just so tired. I genuinely yawned during the 3rd rep. Yawning with 160 HR lmao.

Max HR 167, avg for reps 155 (so 159 for last two). So I guess good on that front, just not enough mental drive to give more. Short one as well b/c of that. Still, got the work in.

Comments:

Bench was pretty good, squats were difficult. Did some more quad work as my quads don't want to grow. Workout was tiring. 120x2 was max at this point in the squat (2nd rep was not well controlled on the descent)

was starting to get a little headache on the left posterior side of my head yesterday evening and woke up with it having intensified. it isn't as bad as the migraine was so i managed to drag myself out for a run, hoping that i'd loosen up and it'd go away. partial success. very frustrating.

- run 56:06, 10.00 km
cool but humidity extremely high

* if i'm skipping squats in the morning for now, i might as well add some walking again. my heartrate did not budge any higher than 110bpm because i kept it at 6% inclined and also because the gym was fairly cold. i did not break a sweat but it was still a good walk. i prefer to keep HR at 125-130max.

I was yesterday in the park and played 2 hours of 3 on 3 and during the breaks I dunked on the small rim. I could do some nice dunks, including an under-the-rim reverse which I haven't done in 10 years. I was also 1 inch away from dunking off standing vert - I did it, but it was a rim-grazing kind of thing, not a clean dunk.

I tried one dunk of the 10 foot rim but because the rim is taller I can't be as relaxed (because I need to push with more force) and my plant collapsed and jumped 20 inches or so. I need to continue to lose weight and get stronger.
