Workout was a bit weird today. I was drunk as hell last night (my birthday) and then Ohio State ruined my god damn birthday for the sixth year in a row. So I was kind of depressed and low-energy. Forced myself to go to the gym anyway, didn't really do much of a warm-up, and then, well...went off script a bit.

Work
squats 3x5x195
OHP 5x95 (about here is where I said screw this)
jump squat 4x4x95 supersetted with
pull ups 4x5xbw (third set I climbed a 15' rope w/o legs instead)

Core
Russian twist 3x30 (60 touches), 30" rest

Cool down
Stretch

Workout last night:

Foam roll upper legs x20 minutes

Yes, this counts as a workout. At least, it was harder than the rest of my workouts have been this week. It's really interesting to notice the difference between pain and tightness when I roll my right (dominant) leg versus my left (weaker) leg. The right one hurts so much more; I actually can barely roll out the VMO (teardrop muscle). I have to take some weight off it or it hurts too much. But it feels awesome afterwards and if I keep it up the tension should go down a lot.

Also, this morning I woke up and had a strange urge to try a one-armed pushup. Never done one before, but I got it! Right arm only, left was a fail. Still, was kind of a nice surprise.

nice, hope you get some goods gains on vert during this upcoming deload!

Thanks man. I'm hoping for 30" but we'll see. Workout today:

Warm up
abbreviated varsity warm-up
leg swings

Tempo run (1=100yards, 2=200y, +=40s rest, pace 20s/100y)
1+1+1++
1+2+1+1++
2+1+2+1++
1+2+1+1++
1+1+1++

Core circuit x3
pushups x15
crunches x30
side crunches x15 each
supermans x15

Stretch

Tempo run was niiiice and easy, 20s/100y is a leisurely pace even for the likes of me. But it felt great, got the heart rate up and the blood pumping.

EDIT: the total volume for the tempo run was 2200m.

Warm up
as usual

Work
Squat 3x5x245
Bench 3x5x175
Dead lift 3x320 FAIL: did these as singles and could not get the fourth rep off the floor without form going to shit
Pallof press 2x10/sidex60
Bunch of pullups, rows, inverted rows scattered throughout

Cool down
stretch

These all felt hard, except the second set of bench presses. Time for a deload after pretty much a month straight of linear gains. Starting Monday I'm dropping back down to the weights I started with, then I'll test standing vert before ramping back up the following week.

EDIT: I finally sucked it up and ordered straps, so my DL can keep going up without me having to worry about grip.

ps: ghr's gave me massive heartburn

crazy shit

WTF? You sure it wasn't something you ate? I got mad heartburn the other day and couldn't figure out what it was from but it had to be food. Maybe you were doing the GHRs so fast the centripetal force got hold of your stomach acid LOL.

Found an absolutely awesome resource on soccer training via Charlie Francis' forums (saw your name somewhere on there, adarqui). Tons of great info but loooots of crap to wade through over there, and this guy duxx (Mladin Jovanovic is his real name) put together a sick PowerPoint of his soup-to-nuts training philosophy. I know everyone here is pretty much focused on vert (well, except adarq), but if anyone's interested I'd be happy to email it around.

Yeah and it wasn't even on landing that I was looking down, it was the whole damn time. Easy enough to fix, just need to focus on it until it becomes natural. Training today: Feldenkrais class. Continues to be awesome.

Frisbee was fun. It's just fall rec but I'd been busy with club or other shit for the past month and a half so it was only my second game with this team. We won despite trying very hard to lose towards the end of the game. I was running and cutting okay but will definitely need to do some more specific stuff as next spring approaches. For the time being legs felt good, throws were still there, and winning is fun.

Yeah I need to find something I can reach to, it definitely seems to help. I figured out after a couple of weeks of box jumps that my natural tendency after I land is to look down, which is not conducive to jumping high. So for the time being my big improvement is just to remind myself to look up. Anyway, speaking of depth jumps, they fucking sucked today for some reason. See first part of log title. Workout:
Warm up
Shoot around, bricks everywhere, ball was too bouncy
The usual
Work
Depth jump 3x5
Squat 3x5x230
OHP 3x5x115
bunch of random sets of 5-6 pullups/chinups
Cool down
Stretch

Also I was fidgety as shit, barely could keep still between sets, just kind of wandered around, did some bridging, jumped onto and off of stuff, etc. Lots of energy for some reason. And now I'm tired as fuck and going to bed at 12:30 on Friday. Frisbee game tomorrow for the first time in weeks.
