    Misc: Went to the Easter show with bae and won her two giant stuffed toys cos #stud. Bae's one of those retard asians with naive ideals when it comes to love, like sharing scarves - she's 5'1 on a good day, i'm 5'10, do you know how stupid it is to share a scarf like conjoined twins - being the campus couple, couple shirts, sharing umbrellas etc, and me winning her toys at a carnival was another thing off her checklist. Next on the list, buying curtains!
    Nice little bump to 2) and 3) so I can see the plan!
    Next on the list will be buying cushions to put on every bed, chair, sofa and bench ... you now each new cushion reduces your testosterone levels by 5% ... surrounding you with curtains, cushions and soft toys are a ploy they use to emasculate you

    A few, still can't figure out how to back squat consistently so shoulders still ****ed, but upside is the concentric nature of Oly has balanced my congen laxity so they're a lot more stable nowadays hehe

    Be honest, you have no clue how to tie it right? (i don't either )(brb, 30 mins fashionably late to ball cos youtube instructionals really aren't)

    Next week is supposed to be a light max day, then another four weeks of +2.5, then rinse and repeat for another 5 months (currently Week 4/20). End goal is snatch 140, CJ 160, which should put me in a good place to chase Comm Games selection if i can get my act together

    Lul, or the two sets of towels - the skuzzy ones for me, and the soft beautiful and fluffy ones for guests that we never invite cos that'd mean actually cleaning the place for entertaining and ceebz that. Other day she was complaining how she couldn't show her friends the great view "we" - she meant me, I, RALLY - had cos the place was such a mess. Was like, start by taking down the Christmas tree den, and she sighed like you're so not helpful but deep down she knew i was right cos that fukker's still up today


    Wed 30/3

    1) LISS - 10 mins
    2) C+FS - 117.5 x 1+4 x 5
    3) RDL+HS+OHS - 77.5 x 3+1+1 x 3
    4) LISS - 10 mins

    Misc: Gonna start making a concious effort to start taking care of myself more, went to the dept store today to get myself some new skincare products, at least two sit down meals a day, morning cartoons instead of CNN Asia to start my day on a happier note, etc

    I've been thinking the same Tom! Maybe I should stop looking for double blacks and tree runs and start looking for the Gluwein and schnapps at 3pm instead

    Not gonna lie, i actually really like places like Jonathan Adler (my entire place was furnished by them via the Manhattan store), The Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond etc. But yeah, looks fading and i don't have much of a personality/bank account

    Isometrics imo, we press just like they do but we then don't hold the bar overhead and OHS it etc, or same with gymnasts, epic shoulders and we pullup just like they do, but we then don't hold ourselves up in L-sit, lever, ironcross etc - a lot of untapped gains if you really think about it, forgotten stepchild of muscle function

    April Fools Fri 1/4

    1) LISS - 10 mins
    2) C+FS+J - 127.5 x 1+3+2 x 4
    3) SGDL+DL+Sumo+RDL - 157.5 x 8+10+6+3 x 3
    4) LISS - 10 mins

    Misc: Sucks and is boring, but LISS really is important cos it allows blood to pool in the left ventricle, stretching it over time to increase stroke volume and decrease heartrate - i.e. heart becomes more efficient as it can pump more blood with less work, something HIIT doesn't allow for. Have a good weekend all!

    Very true ... hence working towards a strict muscle-up. Probably no chance while I'm in full-on Barney/Grimace mode

    I need to start doing some of this type of stuff. My training is too 1 dimensional. (the last few weeks more like 0 dimensional)

    Do you just walk for LISS?

    Nup, splits with both feet - usually label my squat jerks as SJ #cryptography

    As if you couldn't hit 57% x 27, esp if you keep changing stances throughout to shift from quads > PC > glutes/adductors > hams etc

    Yup, 20-30 mins on my off days. Nowadays i'm all about general health and the other benefits include: improved brain plasticity, function, insulin sensitivity, calms the nervous system, balances hormones, increases bloodflow, stimulates lymphatic system etc etc basically reverses all the chit that makes you feel old, with walking seeming to be the bees knees when it comes to back and lower body health in all the latest research

    I don't know .... you've got a very good grounding in strength and fitness training and maybe having only two years of WL training means that you learnt without having any bad habits. Doing very well and your numbers are impressive (and it would be a pretty cool thing to do )

    Just like anything, rings require balancing movements - e.g. farmers for support, overhead holds for hangs etc (prob with false grip is that it deliberately destabilises joints, which allows for that transition but also increases joint stress if you don't progress and balance properly. Put simply, grip connects to forearms connects to RCs, it's known as irradiation where harder you grip something, more stable your shoulders and neighbouring joints become but false grip messes with that, it handicaps grip so forearms can't stabilise/support elbows, you then hang for time which gaps/tractions the joint to overstretch exposed elbowcept connectives and muscles. Add movement to that, and you start getting weird torsion, micromovements from competing/compensating muscles to really hurt elbowcepts - i.e. joint's being pulled apart, you're now twisting it too if say lats > ER. Anywho, balance is above - overhead holds to smush things back together, farmers to condition the joint to being tractioned with the grip work also working the RCs in conjunction to be functionally awesome in rings - i.e. walking creates oscillation at the joint similar to the instability of rings in a tractioned state)(longest bracket evar!)

    I just had a training session at home with my friend John and he did about 5 strict muscle-ups .... he doesn't use a false grip but he got through the transition so quickly that I couldn't quite see how he did it

    Really was lul , was pre-smartphone, google maps, everything being in engrish etc so had no clue what to do being in a foreign country and having to point and charades my way to food and shelter - my generation onwards + no apps = completely ****ed at life

    So where else have you been, let's compare notes! Asia first

    You've given me a half hour training bracket to work on
    I use my lats, ring pullup to hips so you're in front lever below rings, sit up so shoulders go over rings, press from dip. Try with barbell, bumpers on, lay underneath so it cuts hip crease, situp, your shoulders are now over bar in dip - apply same concept to rings. My programming was: Monday - 30 ring pullups, Wednesday - 20 ring pullups to chest, Friday - 10 ring pullups to belleh. Accessories were horizontal and inverted ring rows, with pauses, tempo etc so i could transfer that to the main three, then cut out once i could to control volume/fatigue. For you i'd also add wrist extension via pushups and handstands so you get loaded TUT in that position, and single arm overhead medball walks - the rolling ball in hand will teach wrists to react and stabilise in conjunction with shoulders etc - most people will fail thumbless due to lack of wrist extension, wrists simply don't bend that way which blocks turnover - can't transition from neutral wrists below rings to extended above. With the actual situp, the slower you pull the faster the situp needs to be to keep momentum going, with the pull itself only there to facilitate situp - i.e. pulling to belly gives you more room to situp and clear shoulders than pulling to collarbone. Dips i did on the parallel bars to build strength (still stick with false grip imo)

    Youth is wasted on the young right?

    Yeah everything's feeling awesome atm, not guarding in the slightest which is why i don't wanna risk anything - it's nice being able to MMA without fear, go for a 10k fun run and not pull up lame etc - when you spend your entire 20s rehabbing from 7 ops, you kinda get over it and just wanna feel like a normal human being again. I remember at my worst i would actually sumo deadlift to pick up kids lmao, and good night shoulders if they ever ran and jumped into my arms/squirmed, arthritic for days and now i can throw them about with ease much to the chagrin of their mothers hehe - i wanna keep that

    condom: you have to stretch it enough to get over your nose then you have to breathe in through your mouth and out of your nose ... condom inflates literally to about 2 foot tall on top of our head. Didn't use a knobbly one though

    So where else have you been, let's compare notes! Asia first
    First time OS was a cruise to Noumea, Vila, Fiji, NZ at 15 (in the bowels of a Russian ship). I started travelling when you had to use maps, read guides and carry a phrase book: spent loads of time in Europe ... lived here for 9 years of course ... and North America. South America: Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina. Africa: only Egypt but spent 4 weeks there the year you were born ... sailed in a Felucca down the nile, climbed one of the Pyramids at Giza (had to bribe the cops who were waiting at the bottom for me) and got dysentery. I've been slack in Asia ... dived in the Maldives for two weeks, trekked on the Thai/Laos border, Malaysia, Bali, Singapore, Japan, HK (lots of times) and only visit to China has been Shenzhen. Feel guilty because I'd love to spend time in China, Vietnam and India

My programming was: Monday - 30 ring pullups, Wednesday - 20 ring pullups to chest, Friday - 10 ring pullups to belleh. Accessories were horizontal and inverted ring rows, with pauses, tempo etc so i could transfer that to the main three, then cut out once i could to control volume/fatigue. For you i'd also add wrist extension via pushups and handstands so you get loaded TUT in that position, and single arm overhead medball walks - the rolling ball in hand will teach wrists to react and stabilise in conjunction with shoulders etc - most people will fail thumbless due to lack of wrist extension, wrists simply don't bend that way which blocks turnover - can't transition from neutral wrists below rings to extended above. With the actual situp, the slower you pull the faster the situp needs to be to keep momentum going, with the pull itself only there to facilitate situp - i.e. pulling to belly gives you more room to situp and clear shoulders than pulling to collarbone. Dips i did on the parallel bars to build strength (still stick with false grip imo)
    You always give me so much to read and so much homework to do
    The way you describe it sounds to me like the way that John did his muscle ups
    Handstands will be a problem ... my Barney moobs will cover my eyes
    Howdafuk do you do pull-ups to your belly?

I remember at my worst i would actually sumo deadlift to pick up kids lmao, and good night shoulders if they ever ran and jumped into my arms/squirmed, arthritic for days and now i can throw them about with ease much to the chagrin of their mothers hehe - i wanna keep that
    That's a great way to be (except the bit about running 10k ... I mean, whybovver) ... great mobility and stability to be able to do the oly lifts properly anyway, and outstanding with the weights you're using
    I still think about getting zombie tendon to reconnect my R supra and maybe the infras .... keep dreaming I suppose

    Travelled heaps as a kid, by plane cos we had those around, to Asia but was too young to remember.

Worked every Fri-Sun in Tokyo's clubscene, then would spend the rest of the week somewhere in Asia just exploring and being hipster child of the world before being hipster child of the world was even cool, before flying back for the rinse and repeat. Did that for a few months, visited all of Asia, so decided to go back home and get my life together. And now we're here and i still totally suck at life, but in that time have also done the typical couples trip with bae to Europe twice - Paris, Prague, Venice, Santorini etc etc, bae trip to the US - LA, Seattle, NYC and Miami, possible secret LV trip with the bois if bae's not reading this, and Canadia with Toronto and Vancouver + a few other places for work. If i had to pick fav places and give random awards it'd be: HK best city in the wurld, Singapore for food with Taiwan close second, Bangkok for ratchet fun, Tokyo/South Korea for the hunnies, and Tokyo for the geeky chit i'm into. Most interesting places evar were Morocco, Turkey, India, and have never been but would love to visit South America one day

    Misc: Why cooldowns rock: Years lifting = more muscle = more workload = more waste, which is removed via the lymphatic system, which is stimulated via movement, ala cooldowns. Faster removal = faster recovery = more frequent workouts = faster gains. It's something you see in every other sport, the Russians and Chinese believe you should never finish a session tight, and you always feel better moving after waking up sore and stiff, so why not nip it in the bud the day prior? Why cooldowns suck: cos hungry that's why. Really is important doe if longevity and consistency are the goal

    Both sound dry, conferences are only fun when you're walking past them to get to the mountain hehe =^___^=

    Travelling so soon?

    One of my most favourite memories is finding "enlightenment" on some mountain top Tibetan temple on Monday, like batman, being completely bored by Wednesday cos silence and no phone reception, back to sin and debauchery on Friday hehe

    Your fav places sound like Indiana Jones adventures - i like! Did you get to do the whole cute playing with errphants, Hill tribes then Mekong crossing into Laos?

    When you pull it off your back tends to bulletproof itself over time - i.e. strengthens and teaches lats, esp low lats, to stabilise spinecepts, which leaves glutes and hams to be prime movers on squats/deads, abs to control ribs and torso etc

    I tend to get easily distracted ... I don't miss out on training and I'm easily swayed to stop for a drink or three
    And I was planning to go to a conference win Queenstown (AQUA = Annual Queenstown Update in Anaesthesia) but I figured I'm better off not head-butting any trees this year

    Yeah .... I can't stay still too long .... climbing up to the temple would be cool; getting back to to sincerity would be better
    We did the elephant thing but we then spent 3 days with the 4 of us being guided over these mountain tracks by locals who spoke no English. Slept in reed huts, got lost in a cave, ate fresh killed pork, got e.coli ... all very cool. Could always find a beer somewhere, which was awesome

    I've already relearnt how to activate my lats to maintain stability on the rings .... it will take me a while but I'm hopeful
    And must confess ... I am a klutz ... had a builder checking damp from a leaking pipe last week. I moved a chest so he could get to the wall but forgot to move the antique plates and jug from the top. Felt pretty stupid cleaning up broken crockery around him

    Consummate professional hurr, but i do have the worst luck when it comes to my flights getting diverted to YVR and CTS during the winter :/

    Pretty cool, off the beaten path trips are always the best ones, things you actually have to work for vs. Egypt and Angkor which i really didn't like since it was a simple bus and walk. How far up did you get the pyramids hehe? Also, Singha or Chang?

    Next is adductors for lower stability, helps to spread load from just lats, to lats-glutes-adductors (forgotten muscle that noone ever trains, apparently glutes and adductors need a 2:1 relationship, but most never train adductors so things become imbalanced and you get tracking issues like weak VMO, ITB, TFL etc etc)

    You should prob start wearing a helmet round the house, could've been so much more worse lul

    Thu 14/4

    1) LISS - 30 mins
    2) FS+CR - 120 x 20+5 x 3
    3) HS+OHL - 80 x 2+20 steps x 3

    Misc: Gonna be taking my fronts off the rack for the next month so i can really set my shoulders, then get TUT in that position via the widowmakers + calf raises which will also train foot balance in the jerk, then hang snatch into overhead lunges for shoulder stability via oscillation - jerk's really broken atm and deep down i know the fix is more side planks, but i'm also not mature enough to do them cos well, side planks, so will try everything else hehe

    We climbed all the way to the top of the 3rd pyramid (Menkaure's) at Giza and stood on the top .... I actually dragged my old scrap book out. These pics were taken in 1987!

    On the way up ... this was my friend M who's now a cardiology professor at the Mayo Clinic with our guide
    We literally raced up at just before sunrise


    This was a pic I took at the top of the pyramid 65m high


    This was a montage I made of the view from the top ... you can see at the bottom left is the top of the pyramid we were standing on (that's where I had the camera resting), with the view towards Khufu's/Cheop's Pyramid


    I had the camera and I've always regretted that I didn't ask him to take a pic of me at the top ... unfortunately the cops were down the bottom waiting so we only lingered a few minutes. Had to pay the cops £20 each when we got down

I never train adductors specifically (as in good girl exercises) but the single leg work like step-ups/BSSs/lunges has really helped build up my VMOs

    True that about CrossFit ... that push to keep lifting heavy under fatigue is designed to FUBAR shoulders
    OK ... so if I'm right that's a 120FS for sets of 20 and doing 80kg OH lunges for 20 steps ... fuk that's a load of heavy work! OHSs are hard enough but doing that as lunges must be a huge challenge for stability. No way could I even do walking OH lunges with a bar ... can picture the intracranial bleed

    You can also add in wider than normal squatting/pulling, and these but start with your feet on the ground first but yeah, untapped gains for many as they are known as your fourth hamstring, make up 23% of your leg and equal to glutes and hams when it comes to hip extension

    Tue 19/4

    1) Sprints - 800m x 4
    2) Snatch - 110 x 1, 102.5 x 16 EMOM
    3) Panda - 120 x 1, 107.5 x 5 EMOM

    Misc: Thought this was pretty neat, why boxers hiss and people growl when lifting. And on a more deeper level, the idea of diverting sympathetic stress into your corecepts for improved performance - i.e. turning fear into something positive by moving all that nervous tension into the core for a sturdier spine and performance instead of just crumpling into a hyperventilately ball

    Yes .... Machu Picchu was amazing! The walk to get there was just stunning and then when I got there, I'd seen it so many times in photos, but nothing prepares you for how majestic it is. We spent all day and I could have stayed longer .... I get very nerdy with history

    Very interesting stuff ..... my adductors may well be letting me down. I used to squat wider but that was how I strained the ITB last year. I am starting to squat a bit wider again though, That 'Bunkie side plank' is just sick .... I'm going to try that and I'm expecting a monumental fail.

    2) Snatch - 110 x 1, 102.5 x 16 EMOM
    3) Panda - 120 x 1, 107.5 x 5 EMOM

    Misc: Thought this was pretty neat, why boxers hiss and people growl when lifting. And on a more deeper level, the idea of diverting sympathetic stress into your corecepts for improved performance - i.e. turning fear into something positive by moving all that nervous tension into the core for a sturdier spine and performance instead of just crumpling into a hyperventilately ball
    Some great cues there ... I know that when I have a really good squat I've always seemed to make that link . I've got to try and make that more automatic

    That snatch EMOM is just huge!

    Probably, weakcept adductors usually lead to depth problems and lateral side issues - ERs become unchecked to block hip flexion, lack of medial stability leading to excessive lateral motion like ITB, LCL, ACL and FAI if you're super unlucky etc. Here's the regressed

    I've found if you're holding your breath throughout the movement, you've prob got a weak core - i.e. big breath to expand belleh for a bigger support base, and you're scared to release that when exhaling actually activates and stiffens the core for power to transfer through from the legs into the bar vs. it trying to go through jelly belly - like a balloon, it can either float up agonisingly slow, or fly by letting the air go

    That's a pretty good description of what happened to me the last time I got my squats up to 165 ... had trouble getting deep and got a TFL/ITB strain that would not go away. I had to narrow my stance right in and I've done a lot of single leg work that's helped build up the adductor strength and filled out the VMOs. I'm feeling better placed to progress than last year but there's always more to do .... looks like I'd better add adductor specific work

    I think I've got a strong core and I do exhale on the concentric but I do have to work at settling down and controlling my breathing ... that's the big problem with my deads when my head starts messing up, and I also tend to start panting before a big squat.

    I think you'd really like Ha Long Bay and Vietnam in general - from chaotic city to wanderlusty nature, crazy traffic and loud markets to pretty lanterns at night, place just buzzes

    Lmao, i'd crawl into a ditch too if the reason for my breakdown was lack of petrol - how'd you end up resolving?

    It's more reaction time than strength when it comes to core, e.g. an athlete can't exactly run around holding their breath or bracing their core for spinal stability cos that's just awks, they instead need a core that's fast enough to react to getting blindsided, sudden changes in direction etc. Same with lifting except getting blindsided is a random buckle from unseen weakness, changes in direction is core getting smaller after exhale etc, all done at high speed due to heavy weight. So you might have a strong core that allows you to finish a lift from a bad position, but not fast enough to save you from injury in the process - i believe the buzzword for it is having a reflexive core, and this is a pretty good vid on it where the guy is strong enough to hold a plank, but not reactive enough to save himself from bad positions when it should be insta-reflex

    Hehe hai twinsie! i'm the same with snatches and have been getting over it by sprinting then hitting warmup snatches after so i get practice at bracing against a gaspey core + vid now. Gives me something to fall back on in distress and nothing really compares to the death you feel after a 400/800m, so it brings perspective
