Workout 108B (bench main lift):

Bench press: 20x5, 20x5, 50x5, 60x3, 70x6, 65x6, 60x6
Zercher foward lunges (each leg): barx10, 40x8, 60x5, 60x5
Landmine press: barx8, bar+25x6, bar+15x10
V-grip pulls to chest (single arm): 32x10, 40x8
Pallof press: 3 small plates x 10 (each side), 3 small plates x 10 (each side)
Seated calf raises: 20x10, 40x10, 40x10

Time of workout: 21:25-22:15
Workout duration: 50 min
Exhaustion level: 7/10
Bodyweight: 88.8 kg
Rating: Great

Comments: Felt surprisingly strong. Did 6 reps with 70 on the bench press but I just worry that the bar wasn't 20 kg (some bars seem heavier and thicker than others). Still, I will take it. Also felt great doing the Zercher lunges - for some reason these make me feel super strong and super weak at the same time. The legs feel "recruited" in a great way after them but at the same time I'm tired and weak from the effort.

How could i forget him. He’s the real OG of vert training

Cant believe that for 90% of 2 foot jumpers, 90% of their training for the first few years comes down to “increase your squat:bw ratio and practice your jumps a few times a week.” But it took a lot of reading to get to that conclusion

But bro T-Dub never touch a weight I want to jump like him

Run -- 5.25k, 32:25

Notes

still recovering from this cold. funny going for a run and like peripherally feeling energised, i.e. has been quite a while since my legs had this little fatigue in them, but centrally just zip.

- RDL 90 x 8, 6, 4
grip started to go on the second rep because my wedding ring digs into my finger. need to swap it out for the silicone one next time. did a third set with normal (rather than hook) grip to get the reps in.

- flat calf raise 90 x 10,10

- alfredson calf raises +15 lbs x 5,5/leg

- circuit x 2
-- BSS + 30 lbs x 10/leg
-- spiderman push up x 10
-- sandbag row 50 lbs x 20
need to do the rows with something heavier but otherwise i like this circuit.

- assisted dead hang x 30s
bar is too low to do an actual dead hang so heels resting on the ground straight out in front.

edit: maybe it had something to do with the race/athletics talk.  :o

Kind of a stretch, lol.

I wrote a paper on "Precognitive Dreams" for my english class last year and the main scientific explanation for dream premonitions is the law of large numbers: Collectively human beings have so many dreams that there's bound to be occasional coincidental overlap between our dreams and real life. We forget most of our dreams, but a cue later in the day can cause us to remember one of our dreams if the cue was in the dream as well. This makes it seem like we have more "dream premonitions" than we actually do.

There have been some interesting case studies where people claim to have many dream premonitions in a short time period, which would refute the law of large numbers, but because of unreliability of study authors we can't draw conclusions.

Call me a delusional schizo, but I believe there's something more to dreams than what we can explain with science. At least our current level of science.

You aint schizo. Theres a lot of crazy stuff i learned about dreams in the past year. I dont even want to post what i know. But im reading through some of the dreams in this thread and notice some people need help with certain things. Im keeping it vague on purpose

Interesting:
You’ll notice a correlation between the following in women:
- irregular menstrual cycle
- cant get pregnant or had a miscarriage
- unexplained lower back pain
- mental fogginess
- bipolar or schizo or ADHD where they speak a mile a minute and keep jumping topics
- constipation or IBS
- hair loss
- depression
- dreams where they see animals like snakes, dogs, lions, rats, or insects. Or dreams where they are being chased or threatened by people. Or dreams of flying/falling from a high place. Or filthy dreams where they see urine poop and/or sex a lot

The more of the listed symptoms they have, the more likely they have the dreams i mentioned.
 And vice versa. Do your own research and you’ll see!

I actually keep a dream journal on my phone. Interesting to see this here

I spoke to 2 dream interpreters about me and they were pretty freakin accurate.
