« on: October 12, 2015, 01:32:37 pm »Hello everybody!
been busy with work and stuff, but i still find time to hit the gym, though definitely not at the consistency of old.
also due to the fact that im balling more, so if i needed to be fresh, i skip gym for that week.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-o3YfJrXg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj-o3YfJrXg</a>

bw = 168
soreness = nothing
aches/injuries = right knee tendonitis (i think some of the stretching has brought it out more, but, stretching also helps it.. so, need to stretch it even more. Need to get some more elasticity in these hamstring tendons)
Session
tennis:
- 2.5 hours
- got 4 games on my dad (lost 6-4). That's an improvement
- starting to figure out what I need to do in order to possibly win a match in this tournament on oct31
- my BIGGEST issue is my serve.. so, i've been settling on a low toss serve with decent power, because it's more consistent.
Session
tennis:
- 2 hours
Session
stretching
- hamstrings hardcore
making some serious improvements in my hamstring/adductor flexibility...

bw = 169
soreness = lots
Session
lefty tennis:
- 1.5 hours
- finally hitting some nice forehands
Session
jog, jump, and sprint:
- ~7 mi
- some nice jumps mixed in: L-SLRVJ has some nice pop to it
- mixing all of these things in one continuous session is weird but amazing
I think when i'm down to 160, i'll go do some jumps indoor to see where i'm at. I'd be focusing on L-SLRVJ primarily.
Was going to lift after but, didn't have enough time.
pC!

yo seifullaah,
have you been stretching your quads/hip flexors post workout? i see you have stretching in the cooldown, just wondering though.
my calfs are crazy tight too, i've been using my fingers/thumbs instead of rolling them.

why did you go for the 240 @ 5x5 considering your last session of 235 @.4 x 5 & 1 x 3, just curious?
smart idea to get those 225 x 7's in.
good stuff man, nice progress in your log!

« on: October 10, 2015, 04:07:36 pm »Great ideas man...I personally would love to do something more related to power jumping...even looking at plants or something but I think they are looking more for running! For example looking at how footwear changes foot strike or how foot strike stresses diff muscles etc....
It's frustrating cos running isn't really my thing, I just wanna jump all over the force plate and use the slow mo cams to look at my snatch but yeah, think they're looking more for simple running!
Interesting stuff on the backwards depth jumps though, never really come across those before! Something to keep in mind for when I get back into plyo stuff! They sound way less stressful on knees too...
ya less stressful on knees, more stressful on hamstrings/calfs/achilles.

Thanks for the ideas though, if you have anymore running related ones would be awesome!
ah.. havn't thought of anything yet but maybe i will heh!

« on: October 09, 2015, 12:15:31 am »Hey man.
I'm doing a research project based on 'rear/mid/forefoot strikes' in running, we have access to all kinds of cool video analysis/force plates/emg stuff...
I need to think of some kinda specific things to do the study on and know you're into this kinda thing so any ideas?
cool! i dno.. i've always wondered about 'forward vs backward' variations of depth drops/jumps. maybe that would be interesting? ie, off of a low box (~12-18"), some key differences between depth drops, depth jumps, and stiff leg (double) rebounds dropping off the front or dropping off backwards. I've used these variations myself and prescribed them to more advanced athletes when I worked at MSC.. the backward variations are intense and really load up your calfs/hams and achilles much more significantly, from feel.
not sure if anyone has measured that. perhaps it would be somewhat unique/interesting?
that's my first idea.. if i think of anything else, i'll let you know.
^^ also maybe some kind of measurements of stiff leg ankle hops, with someone who would be fairly skilled in performing them (high jumpers). I don't think there's too much research on SLAH's, but I find them very effective at improving triple ext, strengthening the VMO, and improving reactive strength. They are intense though.
decent suggestions? or looking for something else/more info?
pc gulk!
