Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: December 29, 2015, 10:12:40 pm »back from holidays in connecticut. lovely times, tons of great food (and a bit of great drink, too -- my aunt and uncle who we were staying with are serious gourmets, both the best cooks i know and the only people i know with a purpose-built wine cellar in their house). worked out with my cousin last thursday and took a couple of medium-length but pretty hilly walks. otherwise it was mostly just good family time. will weigh myself post-workout later but i'd guess i gained 3-4 pounds.
starting today, i'm going to work out based off a template t0ddday sent me. not gonna copy-paste the whole thing here, but in essence it's a three-week block including jump training 3-4x/week, heavy weights 2-3x/week, and light weights up to every day, followed by a one-to-two-week block where the heavy weights are dropped and PRs are attempted. will also be at a modest weekly caloric deficit but keeping protein high, aiming to be very lean and in the low-to-mid 160s during the second block.
also, i bought a weight vest and am going to wear it most waking moments for the next three weeks, including during workouts.
ETA: just read t0ddday's last journal post. suffice it to say i will never be attempting 300 ME jumps in a five-day period. also i'll keep close tabs on my knees.
hope u get a good dunk outta this!
fwiw tho, when i lifted heavy twice a week, i found tt it kept me sore for like pretty much the entire week.
of course im abit older than you, so your recovery rates might be better...
