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!

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!

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?

bw = 174
soreness = legs, calfs, hips, back, quads, forearms.. HEH!
aches/injuries = none, hand was good today!

i've been doing LOTS of stretching.. havn't been journaling it, but, i think now i will... i'll just put a headline of "stretching" to indicate that I stretched. It's really helping with tennis.. feeling REALLY loose, getting lots of pop on my shots without muscling anything.

Session:

tennis:
- 2 hours
- best hitting yet
- finally able to generate top spin on demand
- shots are becoming less flat, obviously with my new focus on top spin
- moving around was a bit uncomfortable but you wouldn't be able to notice it, if you were looking at me.. typical body wrecked but able to move fine.

there were several backhands I had to chase down and "dink back" because I had no leverage.. but, this is a reason I want to develop my left. I'm a natural lefty, so, I should be able to hit those shots with my left, if I need/want to. It's been a slight focus of mine to develop my left, but, I really need to focus MORE on it. It would be a significant weapon if I could turn a weak retreating/reaching backhand into a powerful forehand. I might run tonight, then go work on my left-only.

I should work on my left every night HEH!

will fill in more later.


Session:

lefty tennis
- 1 hour


Session: Stretching
- throughout the day
- lots

sore.

Basketball / freestyle dribbling

was looking for an old vid, a vid of me shooting lefty and righty.. couldn't find it, but i found this (so I made it public):

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GOkkEodDNo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GOkkEodDNo</a>

forgot all about that video.. At the time, I didn't like how it came out. but looking back, I finally enjoy it. I was attempting to match up some vivaldi to some freestyle dribbling, which I imagine is crazy difficult.. anyway, I like some of the stuff in there. Also, looking back, that was some serious fun.. it also reminds me of how lucky I am to be alive, doing crap like that alone, in the middle of nowhere, at ~2AM and such at night. I almost paid for it with my life during that "one event".

finally.. I miss my nike zoom waffle racers, so much. I love my NB xc900's or whatever they are, but, still no comparison to NZWR.

i know a few people on here have freestyling vids.. if so, post em!

I have these nylon strings.. I hate having to adjust them, it's annoying.. so, did a little research; co-poly strings seem to be pretty popular now. My dad actually has them on his old racquets, the ones I originally were using when I first started. Those strings seem sooooooo much better than what I have. Apparently, they also give you ~20% more top spin automatically, because of how they snap back into place.

I think he has these strings:

He got his racquet strung 8 months ago and they still seem perfect. Everything is in perfect alignment still and it has alot of "pop". Going to get those strings on my new racquet.
