Sunday 30th August 2020

Legs still feel a bit tight, and posterior chain still achey, but much less now.
Erectors a bit beat up.

Soft tissue work - heavy duty lower session

bodyweight at home without shoes = 84.5kg

BBall practice session at WLC outdoor courts -  80 mins

1) 10 mins dribble and ball control drills
2) medium to high intensity moves, shots, layups, threes
3) 30 mins worth of jumps at the 45 min mark, plus a few dunks on 8 feet netball rim
4) halfcourt backwards running at 50% speed x 5

First warm day in a while, spring is officially here, so eventually played with my top off, to get an even tan :)
Courts were surprisingly less populated, guess everyone went to the beach or something....apart from some official netball games nearby

Heavy as hell today, but moved well, but legs still felt a bit tight

More explosive than I have felt in a while, but only jumping a little better than last week, and still not feeling snappy and loose yet.
Touched the bottom of 9'10" rim off a small step, so up equal to my current best there.
And top of the rim off a few steps.

Decent jumps for my current weight, but my running jump was still 4 inches lower.
Things should be better next week when I'm fully deloaded

So a did a ton of jumps today, and an Indian mother and her daughter decided to share my hoop while I did it...
That forced me to space out my jumps a bit better than I normally do.
I think I did around 40 jumps, and kept my jump height fairly consistent throughout

Both the back of my heels are pretty achey now though :/

Cooldown

Sit in bottom of narrow stance squat for 2 mins
backwards walking 30-35 degree sloped path - 2 mins x 2


stretched lower body


Resistance at the Home - DELOAD

Deload session - either set drop, rep drop or weight drop

So the hang from the bar at the end of session no longer hurts my left shoulder.
And my bodyweight actually feels like nothing to my arms and shoulders while hanging, at least for today.
Maybe time to start doing pullups again? We shall see, I'm not in a hurry... but I want a strict muscle up to be a fairly easy thing to do when I do get back into it

Legs starting to feel better, but posterior chain - hamstrings and lower back still sore

No walking today, want to get as fresh as I can for BBall tommorrow
Plus I'm  beginning to think the long daily walks are also adding to the heel stress - so need to deload these as well.
Just need to eat a bit less...

Upper back, posterior chain, calves still sore.
Heels/achilles continue to improve

decided not to BBall today, as I still feel too tight/fatigued, but starting to get that strong feeling back in my lower body
Plus the stress of fixing up one of my mite infested ant colonies  :'(

Upper back, biceps, posterior chain, calves still moderately sore.
Heels/achilles continue to improve

Will likely BBall tomorrow, should be decent with 2 days rest.
Thought about resting up till Sunday to do so, and get a nice 5 days rest, and should jump well, maybe even grab that 9'10" rim!
But I can't wait that long...

No drained feeling
Quads achey but not as sore as I expected, but my glutes and upper hammies are way more sore.
Followed by calves, erectors and upper back/biceps.
Even my pecs, from ab wheel rollouts I think.

Left achilles/heel finally ache free out of bed, but right side still hurts a little, but way better after yesterdays calf work

Legs and glutes still a bit sore....

bodyweight without shoes = 83+kg

Soft tissue work - lower body

at home - Winter squats - Week 7 - Cycle 1 - Micro 2 - day 1

Cleans and squats felt scary hard and heavy!
Don't think even the change to a 7 day cycle this week is going to help, so I should deload
The last time I deloaded was back in June 10th, 11 weeks ago, so well overdue for one!

Will start deloading every 4 weeks from now on.
That might also help my hops stay consistent as well....

Lots of quad volume today, go out with a bang I guess..... :/

----

Peterson setups 5 inch x12, Patrick step up 6 inch x12
supported ATG split squat BW x12 + 20 sec hold at bottom on last rep

alternating sets 2 mins rest
in flat, minimal trail running shoes (Merrell Vapour trail 4)
Power cleans + front squats + jumps -

2 jump shrugs before each main set, on grass

clean complex + 10 front squats x 20kg
2x power clean + 3 high hang power clean + 4 front squats x 40kg
1x power clean + high hang power clean x1 x 60kg
power clean 70kg x2, x1

everything felt heavy, scary and hard!


Squats

Did these before the back squat of the same load
Front Squat 60kg x5, 80kg x3

stayed away from 100kg as things felt dicey

High bar squat -  flat shoe - 60kg x10. oly shoes - 60kg x5, 80kg x5, 100kg x3, 110kg x2

5+ mins rest
70% of e1RM -  102.5kg, 226lbs 6x6 @ RPE 7-8  (+2.5kg)

Had planned to go to 130kg single, but everything felt so heavy and hard, I bailed on that.

Main sets started hard, and thought no way I can do all sets and reps, but somehow the last 3 sets got way easier...
6x6 allowed me to work on my form and finally zero in on some of my form issues.

So I hit 105kg x10 @ RPE9 after my last deload on June 16th, but since then I've been busting my ass, yet still spinning my wheels.... hopefully deloading will get things on track and super compensate big time, like 10-20kg extra strength!
Definitely can't do 105kg x10 today...

This group in Oly shoes - alternating sets 2 mins rest
"+" = 20-30 secs rest

B1) Stiff legged deadlift - facing down slope of garage - 60kg x6, 80kg x6,  100kg 4x6  @RPE 8 (+1 set)
B2) Wall tib raise - body at 40 degree angle - in oly shoes BW x5, x17 +5+5+5 @ RPE 9 (+1 rep)
B4) single leg SSB Knee over toes soleus calf raise 2.5 inch elevation - Explode up, 3 count ISO in middle -  67.5kg x11 +5+5+ 30 sec ISO @ RPE 9 (+2.5kg, +1 rep)
B3) SSB single leg calf raise - arm supported 3.5 inch elevation - Explode up, 3 count ISO in middle - 55kg x10 +5+ 30 sec ISO @ RPE 9  (+2.5kg,  +1 rep)

C1) Nordic curl - natural GHR - 6 inch aerobic step + rolled yoga mat on hip
BW x 5 unassisted + 4 assisted  +1 rep

C2) AB wheel rollouts - legs bent x 12, leg straight - 1 full range eccentric
on feet, straight legs - 80% ROM x13 @ RPE 9 +1 rep

Unilaterals
SSB ATG split squat - 2 arm supported - BW x 6, 30kg x6, 40kg x6, 50kg 2x9
SSB ATG Reverse Lunge - 2 arm supported - knee forward - 2 mins rest between sides - 50kg 2x8 @ RPE 8
I can say that reverse lunges feel way harder than split squats, and work the VMO and glutes better.

Jefferson curl 20kg x10, 30kg x5, 32.5kg x11 with a hold, and 30 sec hold on last rep (+1 rep)

Upper body not that sore, just minor aches... lower body felt more beat up upon waking....
Right heel/achilles sore, but felt better after the ISOs and walk

Legs/hips started to get that looser fresher feeling by evening, so I should be feeling decent enough tomorrow.
So 5 days now after I last squatted

research showed that people were making better gains on 5x10 than 10x10 due to the excessive volume - YMMV :)

Sunday 23rd August 2020

Bad sleep last night - woke up early, so only 4.5 hours of deep sleep :/
Calves, legs and posterior chain still sore in a deep down way.

Soft tissue work - upper and some lower

bodyweight at home without shoes = 83.2kg

BBall practice session at WLC outdoor courts -  72 mins

1) 15 mins dribble and ball control drills
2) medium to high intensity moves, shots, layups, threes
3) 20 mins worth of jumps at the 45 min mark, plus a few dunks on 8 feet netball rim
4) halfcourt backwards running at 70% speed x 3

Legs and hips still pretty sore and heavy feeling, so not too explosive, but still jumped an inch better than last session.
Touched the top of the 9'10 rim on best approach jumps.
Couldn't touch the bottom of the rim off a step like my current best, and 1 legged jump was 4 inches lower.
Still, things are looking good for a big increase once I freshen up and get leaner.


Cooldown

Sit in bottom of narrow stance squat for 2 mins
backwards walking 30-35 degree sloped path - 2 mins x 2


stretched lower body


Resistance at the Home

Felt low in energy but I sucked it up and go it done
Lower body was achey and beat up, so skipped all leg stuff today and will leikley remain so in the next longer cycle
