Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #4
Park day #1


Dynamic warmup

6 * standing broad jumps :
Best = ~2.25m , average = ~2.1m
-Ok.

4 * 4 DL bounds :
Best = ~9.45m , two times , ties  :personal-record:
-Sweet, feeling bouncy.

3 * 60m @ 100% :
-Didn't time, just went 100% with free hands, gonna do them like that for a while, eventually i will film for time.

1 * 100m @ 100% :
-Low 15s , self-hand-timed, 1 have run below 16 only two times in my life, one 15.3 and one 14.9. So this was great, note that I rested only 3 mins from the max 60s.

8 * 150m @ 75% , start every 2 minutes
-This is easy now. In the end i still accumulate some fatigue but there is notable progress at keeping the 75% pace and recovering during the 90s of walk-back-to-start.

i have to say.. the 100M x 10 with 2-3 min rest is hardcore... took me 36 min to complete. and I felt worse than jogging for 30 min...

36 mins of HIIT compared to 30 mins of jogging? Are you kidding? Of course HIIT is MUCH more demanding, it would still be even if it was, say, 15 vs 30 minutes.

Other than that, incredible leanness, bravo!!!   :goodjobbro: :lololol:

It means that I , personally, give him props, because in my own -subjective, biased and maybe totally unjustified- opinion, you and entropy tend to be very stubborn when arguing about specific issues. T0ddday contradicted you both on the exact most sensitive issues, the same day. That message was actually addressed to you and entropy. It was humor. Relax.
LBSS, i knew there was something with this expression. It is yet another native-to-english-direct-translation-error, here there is no word in between, it is not "at the same day" or "on the same day" or "in the same day", it is "the same day".

Impressive, but ain't 2.33 well below beasting? Even his lifetime PR which is 2.37m is not THAT impressive.
Check this out : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_jump#Men_.28absolute.29
7 of them were done after 2014 too.

Or am i missing something?

T0ddday, get in the line, we've been trying to persuade him to get professional help for ages. Huge props for taking on raptor and entropy at the same day though, lol.
Raptor, if i interpret what you are saying correct, it is not the science of psychiatry that you dismiss, but the intention of local doctors to apply it morally/thoughtfully? I'll take your word for it. You still have 2 options. A) Search from everyone you know to find someone worthy, there must be ONE psychiatrist in Romania that works right. B) Search for online services. Not Romanian, international. Even free. Maybe better free, volunteers will show much higher dedication/pure intentions at helping. Now if i got you wrong and it is not the local doctors but you dismiss the whole science of psychiatry, while at the same time you can't stop spamming/bragging about how much you value science and scientific education and taking all those neuroscience's courses, well, then, fuck off!  :-*

Bodyweight@session : ~85,5kg
Soreness : chest, quads, traps, abs
Injuries/aches : left foot ball

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #3
Gym day #2

PUSH PRESS:
5@20kg
5@30kg
3@40kg
3@50kg
3@50kg
3@50kg
-Nice, very good power.

DEADLIFT:
8@50kg
6@70kg
4@90kg
2@110kg
1@130kg
RDL 2*10@80kg
-RDL volume-back-off shows how much a near-max single DL takes out of you. 10@80kg was hard, i can do 10@100kg easy when fresh.

DIPS:
7@BW
6@BW
6@BW
PUSH-UPS to failure: 18
Added pushups finisher since i am not strong enough to get some considerable volume in dips.

CHEST SUPPORTED HORIZONTAL ROWS MACHINE:
12@40kg
12@40kg
12@40kg
-Decided to add some back accessory. Chose machine instead of DB/BB rows, as i have repeatedly failed controlling the form-vs-weight ratio at the latter.

STANDING CALF RAISES MACHINE:
15@BW+70kg
15@BW+70kg
15@BW+70kg

Stretching : Did a couple of quads and hamstring sets. Barely qualifies as a stretching session but it's a start.

Left ball foot wrecked. No idea what it was. The kind of pain you get from 'hard impact'. I would guess it was the SLRVJs.
Quads still and always off. Gotta learn to live with it. Don't really care too, sprints and power stuff ( HPC/PP ) feel great. Hoping stretching will help. Otherwise i might consider taking squats off for a while, work with BSS & idk, leg press?

Haha, how the hell you remember strings theory with such a short memory? It was not long ago that you were amazed when i told you that clicking on the quote headline redirects you to the message. Don't let me even start about you being an experienced professional programmer, that's too basic, lol. I guess your RAM is fine, but your cache sucks!  :P

About the arm strokes, my n=1 anecdotal broscience opinion is that it is pretty natural. That is what feels right. Shorter or longer strokes just mess with the 'flow', you get out of sync. It didn't take much effort. I just practiced it a little bit like the coach does with the student. Then applied it while doing strides at warmup, worked at once. It is like the tempo-master for the whole body, legs just follow. Try it, it is extremely easy and efficient. Don't get too caught up in details like where is the elbow, how far back or front did i go etc etc, just stroke faster and let your legs follow.

Incoming fast-strokes joke in 3...2...1...

1 * 150m @ 100% , ~24.5s , lifetime :personal-record:
-Used this arm swing video raptor posted, worked nice, fast arm strokes synced with legs felt right.
Nice to get a PR with just 2 minutes rest from the tempos.

niiice!  :headbang:

I wonder if you had done some of those light tempos before jumping, if your runups+transitions would have felt alot better.

Thanks! I am sure that all about this PR was the arm swing thing though.
As for the jumps, might try it next time. Although the broken run-ups were mostly about having forgotten how to do it. Last rim jump session was 1 month ago and the previous one was... idk, mid 2015, lololol.



"Arm swing video"?

Do you even watch what you post? :P

Vertical Jump Testing

SVJ : 10'1'' / 26''
Dropstep : 10'2'' / 27''
1-step DLRVJ : 10'3'' / 28''

3-steps DLRVJ : 10'4'' / 29''
SLRVJ : 9'10'' / 23''  :uhhhfacepalm:
-Decided to do some jumps instead of bounds&60m sprints. Just to have a reference. Switching back to bounds&sprints.
Pretty bad, lol. Felt like i had literally zero bounce, no power transfer from run-ups at all. I did get some inches from them though.

6 * 150m @ 75% , start every 2 minutes
-Felt extremely easy.

1 * 150m @ 100% , ~24.5s , lifetime :personal-record:

That's what i suspect too. I think the 150m tempos get them too, as i try to do them not 'stride-style' but 'sprint-style': i don't start 100% and then let momentum carry me, i treat them like normal sprints, keep pushing at each stride, just not 100%. I feel i get a much better training effect that way, strides are too easy, only use them as warmup.

48hrs soreness kicked in hard, quads got really sore. Same with this back leg muscle, i always get very sore there when squatting after a long time. I always thought it was adductors but it is most probably the semimembraneous one. Abs are wrecked too, something in this sprints&bounds day hits them hard. All in all, i decided against going to the gym, time to rest that beat up body. Off for Easter, back to training in 5 days.

Someone else did, lol.

I'm sure your eyes were tired or sth and you misread  the 4 of the 4-DL with the 9 of the 9m.

I removed my explaining message, feel free to remove yours too ;)

Bodyweight@session : n/a
Soreness : quads, hamstrings, glutes, abductors, chest, lats, traps, lower back, abs. lol
Injuries/aches : none

T0DDDAY-BASED ALTERNATING GYM-TRACK SPLIT

Week #2
Park day #2


Dynamic warmup

4 * standing broad jumps :
Average = best = ~2.1m
-Small decrease from last time.

3 * 4 DL bounds :
Best = average = ~9m

3 * 60m @ 100% :
-All a little over 10s

8 * 150m @ 75% , start every 2 minutes

Volume squatting after 20 days anhilated my legs. Also had very sore abs. Those combined had me totally broken, resulting notably bad performance.
So i cut the volume at bounds and sprints and upped volume at the tempos.
Next morning : wrecked , abs and hamstrings hurt at every contraction!
