Purpose: To log data in a format that is easier to analyze (for ourselves and readers of our journals), so that training setbacks are avoided & progression is of primary importance, thus making our training as efficient & effective as possible.
How-to: Copy, Paste & modify the template to suit your needs: Include this post at the end of each of your training journal posts by clicking "modify" on your previous post, copy and paste it into the current post, and then add the new data.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS - DO NOT squat without heels elevated, used to heels elevated, too much sitting back aggravates back injury - DO NOT deadlift aggravates back injury - DO NOT overstretch quads, aggravates ankle injury <-- happens every time, STOP IT - as of 1/15/2011, don't do 325 x 5, instead, hit MSEM singles at 325+, stay 305-315 x 5+ - cut out milk, water + protein shakes from now on, more vitamin C, at least 6 bananas per day, more chicken/eggs - utilize pin squats more, pin 6 work up then transition into pin 7
CURRENT GOALS 01/11/2011: PROJECT SSR7, get down to 150 or less as soon as possible.. maintain 315 x 5 half squat strength + keep a set of 20 maintained (245-265), fix right ankle, more interval conditioning, don't neglect my necessary exercises

damn that guy could get up darq keep it up with the lions/big cats in the site and in your videos. I love lions tigers leopards cheetahs all the big cats ive been obsessed with them since i was a little kid haha.
haha cool, definitely will do.. im also obssessed with the cat family as a whole.. even house cats are AMAZING "athletes" and predators.
dam at least wear sweatpants and a hoodie or something! Or maybe hoodies/sweaters interfere with your shot? I can't stand that... I can never play with sleeves. Not even a t-shirt. I always play in a tank top or a jersey. If i happen to have a t-shirt i roll up the sleeves.
strongly disagree, your "outfit" is pimpin` for a snow vid, don't listen2dreyth.
also, rolling up the sleeves on a shirt is fashion taboo, gotta keep it soFreshNsoClean no rolling up sleeves.
Quick blog, this is the "33.5 inch RVJ to 37 inch RVJ block" that our legendary quad-mutant ARowe used successfully. Keep in mind this is an intermediate/advanced block, it shouldn't be used by beginner's. The block should come AFTER proper preparation. Proper preparation includes:
- Being healthy - Considerable strength block (involving squat/lunges/calf raises) - Gradually incorporating depth jumps & other reactive work - Experience with REA squats (though can be substituted) & jump squats - Experience with heavy squat singles for use in MSEM
So, if you are interested in trying this block, all you do is rotate through the cycle X times, which will give you X peak jump sessions. Keep in mind that these are short blocks intended on peaking power by session 4, although max effort should be applied to each session, session 4 is the most important in terms of caffeine/prior rest etc.
The ARowe Block
RATIO = volume:strength/power:rvj peak session = 1:2:1
Session 1: Volume - warmp - sprint warmup - sprints : 20's (~3-5x) - dj (18-24") : 4 x 5 (24") or 4 x 8 (18") - squat : 3 x 5 - lunge : 3 x 5 each - light calf raise: 4 x 5 - core - stretch
Session 2 : Power - warmup - sprint warmup - sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up - jumps : 2 step & vert - MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing - Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT - REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%) - MSEM squat: 2 x 4 (~90%) - lunge : 3 x 3 - core - stretch
Session 3 : Power - warmup - sprint warmup - sprints : 10-20 yards - to fire up - jumps : 3 step - MR DL BOUND (vertical emphasis): 4 x 10-20 MAX EFFORT, ridiculously powerful armswing - Pogos: 4 x 5 MAX EFFORT - REA squat : 4 x 3 (40%) - C1: MSEM squat: 1 x 6 (~80%) - C1: jump squat : 2 x 2 (30%) - C1-stuff: 2 rotations (so 2 sets of msem squat, 4 sets of jump squats) - lunge : 3 x 3 - core - stretch
session 4: rvj session & vert - warmup really good, progress into max SVJ's, then into max RVJ's (or just max RVJ's if that's your goal)
OFF DAYS - active rest, full rest, or light/moderate upper body work (weights or bodyweight)
Example Schedule
monday = session 1 tues = active rest wed = active rest thurs = session 2 fri = active rest sat = session 3 sun = active rest mon = active rest OR session 4 active rest or session 4 + session 1
it could also be: monday = session 1 tues = active rest wed = active rest thurs = session 2 fri = active rest sat = active rest sun = session 3 monday = active rest tues = active rest OR active rest or session 4 + session 1
