Spurs Head Coach Greg Popovich...

Said before their game against the Jazz that "Tonight's game is like an acid test for us."

WHAT? Tonight's game is like a night filled with LSD, The Grateful Dead, and the Merry Pranksters?

Perhaps he meant litmus test?

Did the maximal strength workout today-- my shoulders are very sore from yesterday's interval workout. Tomorrow I think could be very tough by the afternoon.

Something I'm noticing while working on the one-handed push up progression is that a great stability challenge can be added to almost any ground-based upper-body work (planks, pushups, whatever) by adding a degree of leg movement or by bearing weight on a single leg. If you consistently alter the angle of the force to which your muscles are responding, you will work each muscle group more thoroughly without needing completely new exercises.
