Clip of my Incline DB Bench Press

Thoughts?

Also watched this a few times trying to ask myself: what is going on in the background?

Benchin’

Watched Jennifer Thompson’s Bench Press 101 this morning after the lovely jevanses linked to it on her blog. I kept the tips in mind and here’s my attempt to execute. I think my leg drive is off, but is there anything else I should do to my technique?

“One Grain More” - a food allergy Les Miserables parody.

But seriously, how does one milk an oat?

Sunday on Governor’s Island - Clip of ImprovEverywhere’s MP3 Experiment 9

The Mp3 Experiment is participatory public event created by Improv Everywhere. We stage a new Mp3 Experiment in New York each year and also tour the project regularly to college campuses and international festivals.

Here’s how it works: we put an original mp3 file online (usually around 45 minutes long) that people download and transfer to their mobile devices. Participants then synchronize their watches to an atomic clock on our website, head out to the same public location, and blend in with others. At the predetermined time, everyone presses play. Hilarity ensues as participants carry out ridiculous, coordinated instructions delivered to their headphones via narrator “Steve” and everyone else tries to figure out what the hell is going on.

I had a lot of fun. My favorite part? Walking around with a bedsheet over my head bumping into strangers in a middle of a grassy field during a “ghost-walk.”

My iPod decided to pause half-way through the event so I was off by several seconds, but I’m really glad I got to take part in such a huge event.

CalStrength: You Lift Like a Girl

This is awesome! Wish my school had this. I would love to learn how to do olympic lifts some day.

115 lb Front Squatz

I’ve got Abby quoting Ronnie Coleman around the gym now. Lightweight, baby!

Haven’t added any weight in a few weeks but I played with a closer stance today — quads were feelin’ it. This was my third set.

On the second, my right hip dropped faster and lower than my left and I hit the safety rail with the barbell. Oops.

This might account for my right hip flexor soreness I usually have after front squats. I feel like I’m generally staying upright but not enough to where I would be able to add more weight. I guess I better work out a few kinks, mainly the hip imbalance, before I do.
