My only hope is this homemade Prozac. Mmm... needs more ice cream.

The fall meet I'm thinking of competing in is three months from today. The meet registration hasn't opened yet, so I can't say for sure I'm doing it. I plan to. Anyway, time to start tracking my workouts again. I've been using some lighter weights, concentrating on form for the last few months...

If I say it, it sounds like I have a speech impediment.

Helps to be tall. I'm guessing Halfthor B, Brian Shaw, and Eddie Hall can all dunk, but none can run a sub-5 40. I know 400-pound Mark Henry can dunk.

Heading to the Boundary Waters for a week, no phone no internet no family no dogs for a week. Basically a mental reboot-slash-sensory deprivation.

They could have merged Diet and Conditioning. To me, that makes more sense.

This. It's never been the same.

The nutritionist Kiefer is a fan of caffeine post-workout, and posts the studies to back it up. An excerpt from one of his articles: "This is where caffeine comes in handy. If I need to train earlier in the day than is optimal, I drink caffeine before my session and if the training session runs...

I ran track in high school and college, and was primarily a pole vaulter, but did work on sprinting since I ran a few events in occasion. My form coming out of the blocks was good, but my top speed was not on par with the best guys. Freshman year of college, I was assigned to work with a kid...

This, and in addition, you can make someone faster, but not nearly to the degree that you can make them stronger or better at a certain skill.

Power-dominant. And strength, a component of power, can be increased dramatically. And technique figures more prominently in throwing. Even a toddler can sprint. I'd say (and I've said) about 5% of speed is trained. That's through increases in strength, flexibility, balance, mobility...

Not much of a cut. Just took a few weeks to relax. Started working on deadlifts and OHP, just for fun. In fact, yesterday I pressed 185 for 3 at a bodyweight of 180. Deadlift numbers will take a while, I won't be maxing for several weeks.

What I'm saying is that if Usain Bolt had a twin brother named Bob who never ran, just sat in the couch playing video games, Bob would probably still smoke 99% of the general public in an impromptu 100m footrace. Sprinting speed is largely genetic.

A lot of great athletes also downplay their physical gifts. You have seen pictures, old and young, of Herschel, have you not?

Ahh, it's just us peanut gallery types that aren't banging Quatari babes, pay us no mind.

Considering the term "blockading" means denying a party something they desire, I'm not sure it works so well as sexual innuendo.

Herschel was always fast. He grew up trying to beat his older sister in footraces. She was an all-American college sprinter. Strength and skill can be built from humble beginnings, but speed is something you're born with. You refine maybe the last 5% of sprinting speed with practice on...

Barbend put out a simplistic but fair little article on the subject: https://barbend.com/benefits-of-farmers-walk/

This will be a quiet weekend, but I did just buy a safety squat bar, so that's exciting.

Sadly, back in Vince's day, many died from shoulder injuries. But you have to be willing to risk it all if you want true outer pec greatness.
