how's your finger/hand healing?

both are good now, thanks!

that laceration has healed up. Though, I think i'll have a permanent scar, but it's pretty much unnoticeable.

right hand is good today.. actually played tennis with it today, feels good. I was gripping the rope too hard when I was going "max speed" on the jump rope, I should have been more relaxed.. definitely my error on that one.

Felt really good today playing tennis. Body is feeling light & snappier. Actually achieved a significant tennis PR too finally, i'll journal it later!

Man i've just been watching this Mutaz Barshim jumper move.. It's so beautiful.

I need to do more leg+hip swings, hip+shoulder mobility exercise, as well as keep getting lighter.

pc man!

-Switched to the 'original' MSEM variant 1: 2-4 sets of 2-3 reps @ 90-95%. Felt much better than straight up 6+ singles.

cool. I like the singles variation especially for when you're doing big dedicated jump/dunk sessions. 10 MSEM singles with ~1-2min rest basically becomes 10 max effort jumps. I imagine you could overlay 10 ME jumps with 10 ME singles (90-95%), just plot "CNS arousal", and have it match up pretty good.

As discussed in the MSEM thread i am using a 'non psyche-up 1RM' which should be around 110kg now.

felt a bit tired today... based on that: friday = some light tennis, saturday = rest.

should break into the 150's (159) tomorrow or sat.



12/10/2015



Bio: Morning

sleep = 9 hours
wakeup = 9:00 AM
bw = 160
morning resting heart rate = 43
soreness = calves (too much, blame jump rope), left jaw
aches = left jaw, left shin
injuries = some toe nails


left jaw possibly achy/sore from the "mouth closed jump rope" drills last night.. it went away a few hours after I woke up.




Session: Morning/Afternoon

10:00 AM - ~12 AM

warmup run:
- ~1 mi

jumps:
- L-SLRVJ max: ~10'4"
- R-SLRVJ max: dno, backboard touches
- felt crappy.. jumping with an achy shin is never fun

run:
- ~3 mi
- midfoot
- ran good but felt crappy mentally

lifts:
- too dead to perform any other lifts

MSEM very deep squat, heels elevated:
- in my saucony running shoes
- 135 lb. x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
- felt good, kept it light

MSEM romanian deadlift (3 second pause):
- 175  lb. x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

plate swings:
- 45 lb. x 8
- should have warmed up with 25 lb plate first.. shoulder felt odd for a few hours after this set.



Food

- 6 egg sandwich on thomas english muffin
- 1 x greek yogurt



Food

- 1/2 lb. cheese burger with chopped tomato, lettuce, and lots of jalapeno



Bio: Evening

bw = 161



Food

- 1 x greek yogurt



Reading

- SSTM for coaches: ~15 pages



Computer Programming

- none



feel pretty beat all day.. when I feel this weird fatigue in my "brain to heart" link, it means I need to rest a day or two.

since i'm not running or lifting fri/sat, and I already trained today.. i'm cutting my calories a bit more than usual for these 3 days. I'll go back to "normal" on sunday.

pc!

Impressive running... 

thanks!

not sure if your really someone that needs to lose weight or wants to eat more but a good trick I learned is to not make your road runs loops.

both! :)

I feel sooo much better when I get light & lean. From experience, I feel like I can train harder without accumulating as much fatigue/breakdown from all of the impacts of jumping/running etc. Relative strength improvements come easier. It also allows me to eat much more without worrying as much about it, which feels great.

At 6'1 ~160 lb., I have quite a bit more fat to get rid of believe it or not. I have more of a natural "skinny fat" body type if I just eat normal and lift + cardio. Once I get down to ~150 though i'll be able to re-evaluate whether I need to get lower or just maintain. I imagine i'll probably end up getting to ~145-148, not 100% certain though. I'm thinking back to when I was my leanest when I was boxing which was around 144 lb. & 6-7% body fat.

Once I "reset", i'll probably end up wanting to add a bit more lean mass to my lower body (similar to when I was dunking - more glute/quad/ham mass).

I dont really do constant runs but I found going about 2-3 miles with 3 mins off walks (around 400m)  coupled with 20-40 seconds at 70-80% (around 200m) which results in almost a mile every 10 minutes, or 6-8 sprints for 2 miles total in 30-40 minutes is great tempo for a sprinter or speed work for distance guys... a workout we can do together!

nice.. eventually I need to find some people to run with, heh!

But sorry for the digression, if you dont keep it a loop you get to walk 3 or more miles back!  Great cooldown, discussion, meditation and a more calories burnt!

ya walking feels good mentally. Since i'm resting Fri/Sat & lowering my calories for those days, I plan on getting in some walking.

Found this earlier in relation to the Justa method. What I do is a variation of given the 2 reps instead of just singles.

http://www.davedraper.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/29397/

niice



as for putting on the belt out of nowhere .. dno, i'm not a fan of it. High frequency squatting itself should make the bar feel lighter. Whether or not your lower body can lift it out of the hole is another question. High frequency squatting should do wonders for your back/core/etc.

If your form goes to shit after 110 kg but you still want to go heavier, you can transition into half squats.. but you have to literally change the exercise in your mind. I would also hit a "repeat" single at the last weight you just lifted deep, but with the higher depth (half) before adding more weight to the bar. I wouldn't add more weight until that feels comfortable form-wise, then it is safe to move up. But you definitely don't want to perform heavier half squats if your half squat form is crap too, that's definitely not safe. At that point it's just stay at your heaviest weight with great form (+ ~0-10 lb) and hit several more singles.

my 2 cents
