gnats ruined my mile PR run.. fml
I was inhaling gnats, they were going in my eyes etc.. At the end of the run I had like 1,000 black dots (gnats) all over my shirt/skin/face/hair lmao.
still tied my 1KM PR and was 3s off of my 1mile PR.
- 1KM: 0 mi to 0.62 mi was 10.83 mph (5:32 min/mi)
- feels SOOO much different than my similar PR going heel->toe.. i'm working waay less hard using this midfoot/forefoot style.. ie, I can push some more. Using heel->toe, i'm busting ass to achieve that speed, it's basically max effort.
actually felt very good AND my calves weren't 100% recovered.. good sign.
also was able to breathe in through my nose and out through mouth for most of the entire run.. I think (not sure if true) I feel I have more power when I breathe in through my nose.

« on: May 19, 2016, 05:22:28 pm »It looks so weird... won't your quad tire like crazy doing that? Won't you "not achieve" hip extension doing that? It's crazy how much endurance any guy has in his quads vs. me.
i dno.. it's more 'reflexive'. it's not like they are bending down trying to achieve that position.. it'd be like if you ran hard into a single leg jump, tried locking your knee, then looked at the slow mo.. you'd see your knee bend like a "stick" (bow). no?
Quote
Whenever I bike, and I stay straight up on my feet, I lock my knees. It's so easy to stay like that. A friend of mine's always says that it annoys him to see me do that and that I should stay with my knees unlocked, having my quads do the work. But that's crazy talk, it's completely unnatural to me.
when I used to bike, i'd ride mostly standing up.. was much more fun.
if you took some slow-mo's of yourself, would you really be locking your knees completely? might be surprised how it looks at like 1000fps.

« on: May 19, 2016, 01:22:24 pm »damn.. im not sure to be honest.
the sprint/bound work you're doing shouldn't be killing your strength, IMHO.. It should actually be helping it. Perhaps 1 rest day following the track workout, then lifting would have produced much better results? for example, your cns could just be too friend to lift the day after.
the thing that's weird is the "still broken part".. you just feel completely dead under the bar? that's also going to carry over to your hang power clean i'd imagine.. so if you're feeling dead and hitting near PR's on HPC, I imagine you probably have alot more in the tank.
but I really don't know.. the fact that you've been "dead" when it comes to squatting and such for so long, that's the odd thing.
perhaps you could try adding in the rest day prior to lifting.. and/or getting in extra calories the day prior.. also perhaps some caffeine? dno just something to try and get you out of this "broken/dead" feeling.He's probably in some kind of chronic fatigue phase right now... reminds me of the Dan Pfaff "acute relieving syndrome" vs "chronic fatigue syndrome" antithesis.
Yes, it is not CNS, CNS is fine. Power movements feel great, i keep getting sprints and bounds lifetime PRs weekly, push press and HPC are pretty close to lifetime PRs too. Other weight exercises are fine too, i am having steady linear progress at everything. If i allowed this 2-3 kg weight gain to match the BW of those quoted PRS i am sure i would match and top them within a month or so.
It is all about quads and squat, there is this fatigue/soreness/slight pain feeling at both eccentric and concentric, around the sticking point ( half to quarter squat depth ), at the middle of vastus lateralis.
It is either some kind of chronic fatigue from the GPP program, too much tightness, OR , i am injured, i strained it somewhere in the way and didn't notice. I doubt the last one though.
I am leaning towards incredible tightness, i am still not stretching or doing anything about mobility/SMR at all. I've been going practically non-stop for 8 months, at pretty intense volume and intensity, on and off the weight room, yet i am stretching like once every 2 months. Duh!
Don't see how it could be some kind of strain, yet you are PR'n on sprints and bounds etc.. sprints/bounds would be wrecked if you had a strain in your quads. Same thing for fatigue basically. I'd rule those out.
What's preventing you from stretching (even if it's just quads) after your track workout? It's actually in the program, you just missed that part. So follow the program exactly as specified.
Also try the LTMP stuff when you squat; stretch quads between every set, nice and relaxed, 15-30s.. Just work up to something moderate (like ~10RM and only do 5 perhaps), just to see how you feel. I imagine your quads will feel very loose if you do those stretches in between sets.

this is a bad sign.. heh.. GGG destroys canelo if they fight, so maybe Canelo is starting to realize that. ;/ GGG = power + skill, that's dangerous as fuck for a smaller man.

man westbrook played BAD.. kind of made my point. Durant went off, but westbrook played horrible, and they ended up just getting demolished.
I was so surprised that they brought Curry back into the game in the 4th, when they were up like 25+.. he should have had ice wrapped around his elbow wtf?

« on: May 19, 2016, 01:59:19 am »haha I feel you. I also tried to follow this path of high volume. I did olylifts/squatting 4 times a week with jump training beforehand while playing volleyball 2 times a week. All I got out of it was some pretty bad patella tendonitis. I had to stay away from any type of jumping and squatting for the last several weeks which sucked. I now adjusted my training.
ya. when you can handle it, it's great.. when you can't, injuries rack up.
for me personally, high volume/high freq always worked great in the past.. but that was for basketball/boxing/dunking/lifting and I was several years younger. this go-round I seem to be accumulating too many aches/injuries so it's time to re-evaluate.. the first step is to simply drastically cut down volume and frequency, hence more rest/light/recovery/activation days than actual training days and see how that works out.
I also need to acknowledge my CNS more.. one can get caught up in volume, simply running mile after mile. ie, I need to make sure i'm getting that "bouncy feeling" and utilizing it during my training sessions.
