    Lower abdomen continues to feel gradually better, but doing certain odd things with it still causes mild pain.

    These goofy sprints kind of aggravated the abdominal strain (or whatever the fuck it is). Not enough to actually stop, though. It seems that aggressive hip hyper-extension stretches whatever muscle was pulled and still hasn't COMPLETELY healed.

    Tuesday, the goddamn Derp God Supreme, who I have previously gone on about fucking absolutely everything "he" does up to a genuinely unfathomable degree, had stepped his game up. "He" was doing what I THINK were supposed to be lateral raises, but it's hard to call them that when "he" wasn't abducting his shoulders enough that the weight actually began to noticeably rise. I am not exaggerating when I say there was MAYBE 15 degrees of "abduction" of "his" shoulder on the "concentric" portion of the "lift." There were two other bloody people doing lateral raises at least half-decently within sight, but DerpityDee didn't seem to notice or learn anything. Seeing this shit made me feel like someone had reach through my skull to punch me right in the frontal lobe.

    Now, Tuesday evening, I had loaded up an obscene amount of blue cheese on a burger with bacon. Twice. So all day Wednesday, I had blue cheese farts. I was horrific, but useful. See, Derpy Dingleshits was 1/20th ROM leg pressing LMAO1PLATE, so I used the masterful sphincter control that had been honed through years of trying to pretend I didn't know the reason the entire classroom smelled like a hard boiled protein fart (and they say you don't learn useful stuff in college) to silently cropdust "him" with what can only be considered a crime against humanity on my way to the water fountain. And again when I walked passed "him" doing half-hearted lying scissor kicks, still actively on his fucking phone, when walked to grab a box.

    Now, is it a dick move to do this to a "guy" who must have at least one congenital defect just because I thought it was funny? Probably. But every time I see "him" do something stupider than the last stupidest thing I have ever fucking seen, I feel like I take 1d6 damage to health, and 2d6 damage to SAN. So fuck it.

    Downside, as history will tell you, is that gas attacks almost invariably backfire. Swung by JimmyJohn's to get a sandwich on the way home, didn't realize what I had left trapped in the car, and was nearly knocked over when opening the door. I've got to cool it with the blue cheese.

    Damn near everything felt weak and stiff and sore and achy on Thursday. I have been doing a LOT of pretty much everything. My shoulder is feeling wobbly and weird, my lower back is tired, my right SI joint area is TREMENDOUSLY stiff when I wake up, my right glute area aches off and on, and for some reason my right ankle ached after front squats. It's probably time to cut way back on the volume for a weak, test maxes cuz LOL, test broad jump to see if my thoroughly half assed training in that regard accomplished anything, then probably do a Bullshit Week of not super stressful nonsense and see how well all of this recovers.

    I WAS, for reasons known only to the sweet baby Jesus, feeling less beat all to hell on Friday. Still going to go ahead with the recovery stuff across the next week or three.

    This whole recovery period might be more effective if I stopped playing basketball. There was a minor hip check when rebounding which knocked my legs out from under me which resulted in me falling, flat upon my left asscheek and forearm, from the peak of my jump. Fortunately, as a very white guy, that wasn't THAT far, so the only "injury" was bruises and three days of mild soreness when I tried to rest my arm on an armrest.

    Early half of this week was very little more than than retesting the broad jump and dicking around. I did broad jump an even 9 feet three times, so that's a consistent 6 inch improvement in something like 8 weeks, with no actual broad jump practice.

    Thursday was a Squat Test day. I got 545 lbs without any more trouble than I expected, but couldn't get 565 lbs past that usual sticking point about a third of the way up and failed it. And shooting around for a bit afterwards caused the inside of my left ankle and slightly above it to ache like hell. It had occasionally felt a very wee bit sore when jumping rope or the like, but it was considerably worse this time. Even just sitting in the car, it dully ached. An ice pack and some Advil did a lot of good, but it is still occasionally bothering me when I actually bounce around, and it's goddamn annoying.

    Squat:
    545 lbs 1RM

    Friday was to test bench and deadlift. Got 315 lbs on bench press easily, as was expected as I've done it weekly. It was basically a "opener" type weight. Couldn't quite push out 325 lbs however. Deadlifted 555 lbs for a hot new sub-220 lbs (and sub 210 lbs) bodyweight PR.

    This week continued on bullshitting around with some quasi-new stuff at "active recovery" type weights. It all has me literally itching (fucking dry skin) to get back to doing entirely too much spastic nonsense to keep me off the street and off drugs.

    390 lbs 3x5
    DB Preacher Curls: 40 lbs 5x12

    I TRIED good mornings with the safety squat bar. I thought they might be a little bit less horrible and useless than I recall with that bar. Turns out they're horrible and useless no matter what bar you use. The SLDLs off of a 25 lbs bumper plate (~2 inch deficit) will prove to be much more effective for hamstrings and lower back, I'm sure. Floor presses might be a bit more featured if my shoulder continues to ache, and done a bit less if it feels better.
