Injuries/aches : none

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #8
Park day #1


Dynamic warmup

ME JUMPS:
4*SVJ : 23-25-24-24
4*Dropstep : 26-27-27-28
4*1-step-DLRVJ : 27-28-28-26
-Decided to take t0ddays advice and phase in jumps ( instead of bounds ). If i manage to get 2 track days per week i will be alternating it.
Was rusty. Bad numbers. However it was extremely hot and also dark so i've got some hope of seeing dem numbers rise fast.

TEMPOS:
8@150m @ 70%, starting every 2 minutes.
-Did those T0ddday style too. Go hard ( 90% ) for about 10s, then relax. Times were all exactly where i wanted ( 35s ) but holy shit, that was so different.
HR... damn, over 175bpm at the end of each run. Around 150 at start of next. Maybe it was the heat, idk. Feeling kinda fresher next day too. Looks like they are easier on legs but harder on heart/lungs?

Yes, phones those days are real beasts.
I am also looking to replace mine currently, so i have done a bit of research.
Best ones on the market are : iphone 6s, HTC 10 and Samsung S7 edge.
Next ones ( still prime zone but not as good as the above 3 ) : Huawei p9 , LG G5 , Oneplus 3, Samsung s7 ( the simple one, not edge )
The androids have better hardware , they give better benchmarks ratings, but at the real-time speed tests the iphone 6s is faster ( damn iOs ). Differences are too small anyway, it all comes down to personal preference. Iphone is smaller, samsung has better screen, HTC has better speakers etc.

Thanks! I don't feel fit enough though, not even ready for jumps. If you check my log, i don't even feel ready for ME 60s. Was thinking of keeping this scheme for another 2 weeks ( till end of June ) and then switch. Mini goals for this are : 2,5m broad jump , 9,5m 4-DL-bounds and a some improvement for body composition.
Interesting about tempos tactic. I don't do that, if i start too hard i have problems relaxing, i end up going too fast or too slow. Instead, i try to start at the exact intended intensity and keep it up throughout the whole run. Makes some foggy sense in my mind that i get more training effect out of this too. I do my stride 100s ( 3 to 4 ) at what i log as dynamic warmup though.

Bodyweight@session : ~86kg
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #7
Gym day #2


PUSH PRESS:

ATG SQUAT:
5@20kg
5@40kg
4@60kg
3@80kg
1@90kg
1@95kg
7@70kg
10@60kg
-Great! Couple of micro-milestones achieved:
1) 95kg is some kind of ATG 1RM  i think. I have been stronger, i have done 5 paused ATG reps @90kg but 95kg is the most i have squatted ATG. Strong back-off sets too.
2) Back to over 200lbs squat after quite a while.
3) Great form in each and every rep, even this 95kg near-max single was pretty solid.

DIPS:
7@BW ( +1 rep )
6@BW
6@BW  ( +1 rep )
PUSH-UPS to failure: 22 ( +2 reps )
-Strong!

DEAD HANG CHINUPS:
6@BW ( +1 rep )
6@BW ( +1 rep )
5@BW
CHEST SUPPORTED HORIZONTAL ROWS MACHINE: 20@40kg ( +5 reps )
-Strong!

Good session!

High Road. invisible bridge used to step over said person when open floor is available left to right.

Down go GSW, down goes Ayesha's posting.

So there are many interpretations about which team will get it, which 'deserves' it, what it will prove, for the team, for each player, for the coach, bla bla bla. And i am very itrested in reading all of them, even when i disagree, i am loving this bball chat in here, very well rounded and backed-up posts from many people.
But there is one thing that has only one clear undeniable interpretation : Lebron is by far the best basketball player in the world.
There is still room for GOAT status if you ask me. Whatever happens now the following years will be very interesting, but getting a personal title ( ~triple double 40p finals average ) vs the team with the best season record of all times, would be a huge adding achievement to this GOAT chase.

Not sure if it fits better here or in the beast thread!
