Wednesday
Had a zillion errands today, plus work. Which is OK because this was an off day But I wanted to try touching the rim, to work on timing. I felt light today too. Oh well.
Blogging will be lighter for the next 2 weeks or so. But I'm still hoping to get a video up tomorrow night. 35% chance.

Day 97-101
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Workouts seem to be going well. However, after Saturdays plyometrics, I barely got rim. I attribute this to having tired legs, mostly from weightlifting.
Picked back up with weights and plyo this Monday and Tuesday.
Hopefully there will be a video up later in the week, showing my plyo and weightlifting. There won't be another video for a few weeks after that.

Day 96
Thursday
Weights today. Did 3 sets of deadlift @ 205lbs. I thought that was pretty good. I feel good overall, though my lower back got a little sore.
I've decided to not take 3 days off a week. I need to do cardio - it doesn't feel healthy not to. Then again, do i want to get up early tomorrow?

Day 94-95
Tuesday, Wednesday
Tuesday I did the VJB plyo workout, which included a drop jump and broad jump. It didn't feel like a lot, but then I tried jogging with the doggies, and could barely move. Keep in mind, I also had lifted the day before. But I'm hoping some great strength is building!
Today was a day off, tomorrow is Workout B of weightlifting. It includes Split Squats and Deadlift.

Day 93
Monday
Had a great weight session today. Even though I went to bed at 3am, and was tired, I lifted 225 with relative ease. I couldn't have done more, but I just felt stronger. I did 4 sets of 6 reps at 225! Caveat: I don't quite go as low as I should, but that flexibility is also increasing with time.
Other news
-My lower back isn't as sore. I was optimistic about this, because the soreness always appeard mostly muscular, and not spinal
-Today was my first day of the VJB training program. I also did squat jumps with 135lbs, where you do a full squat and then burst up and jump if you can (I could). That one felt good simply because anything with jumping feels like the right direction.
-I am now doing deadlifts and squats on separate days
Tomorrow is my first "new" plyo day, now according to the VJB novice setup. It recommends only working out 3 days a week, with one plyo day the same as the weights day. I don't know that I have time for that (today I did). So I'm going with an alternate program of 2 days weights, 2 days plyo, 3 rest per week.
I'll list my workout regimen in a future post.

Day 90-92
Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Whoa...90 days...that's very official.
I got throttled at the poker tables in Vegas. It feels like mojo getting sucked out of your ears. I did manage to workout Saturday morning at Caesar's $20 a day facility....so I could jump rope.
Sunday I was dead tired from a late night poker throttling. Amazingly, at the end of the weekend, I weighed 193...Well, I didn't drink or pig out, but it 's still impressive!
I'm gonna be up late tonight writing a music video pitch. Yet I need to read VJB about my new weightlifting program for tomorrow... Oh time, so fleeting.

Day 89
Thursday
Free weights today. Squatted 225 again. I'm not getting quite as low as i should, but still getting low pretty good. Then I did deadlift at 205, which is an improvement from Monday.
My left hip is sore. I'm hoping that means I worked something right.
Vegas this weekend, no workout or video.
