How do you get that...?

I mean, it's the same thing as tonsils infection (since they're also parts of the lymphatic system) just in another part of the body/different node?

nah it's way diff.. dno how i got it, doc said i must have touched something then touched my armpit but that doesn't make much sense.. odd

See? That's why I hate doctors - stupid retarded stuff like that drives me nuts. You got that from who knows where and it became infected in the armpit because that's the location of the lymph node. If it was somewhere else, you'd get infected somewhere else. I mean what, I touch something and then I touch my pinky finger and a lymph node grows there? WTF? Stupid stuff. Arrrghhhhhhhh

nah, if it went through my blood stream i'd be really sick right now.. it just so happened to be in the lymph node area.. when staph gets into your blood stream you gets chills, huge fever, and it can effect organs etc..

Don't tell me you buy his/hers explanation. That's very unlikely to have happened. You probably ate something infected or whatever and it so happened that that location got infected. Otherwise, maybe you got a lot of infected sweat that was pressed back into the skin from all the dunks/movements or something.

bro, it's a SKIN INECTION, i didn't eat something with staph on it.. lol

Program Review / Re: Air alert (knee alert?)

I did air alert 3. The whole shit , 16 weeks , back in May 2007 being ~32,5 years old.
Didn't gain a single inch, probably because my strength was very low back then , so ultra high volume plyos ( that AA is ) was useless.
I didn't have the slightest knee bugging during it , but then again i never had the slightest knee bugging in my entire life.

I think people without training background doing AA is pure waste of time. Dangerous for those with sensitive knees , just useless for all the others.

As for people with training background , they don't care for AA! :D

truth =  :ibsquatting: +  :ibsquatting: +  :ibsquatting: =  :ibjumping:

yup, guys like us need strength increase primarily.

I tried it with a friend for a few weeks when I was younger (14 or so). Didn't have any problems with it personally. But I didn't see much of any improvement with it either. This was when I was playing ball all day every day so honestly, I was already in about as good a shape as I could've been at that age without proper weightlifting. I stopped because I didn't see the point of it at the time and that was that.

ya i wouldn't imagine you would see much problems with only the first few weeks of the program, it (the volume) gets insane towards the end.

thanks for the post tho!

THE RATIO TECHNIQUE BIG EXPERIMENT:






GREEN = done
BLUE = current
RED = pending

8 Jan 2011

PHASE 3 - Cycle 1 - Power workout

Bodyweight@session : ~193 ( AM workout, before lunch ).
Injuries/aches : none
Soreness : VMO unrecovered , see exercises commentary.

C1 : 20m sprints@100%
C1 : 1x5 MR tuck jumps
C1 : rest 1 min
C1 info : 5 rotations
- Those felt awesome , great acceleration at sprints and great bounce at tucks.

3x4 ME jumps:
Dropstep : ~29''
RVJs ( 1, 2 and 3 steps ) : ~31''
- Felt very reactive and explosive but quads ( mainly VMO ) started 'burning'. Couldn't 'squat' my jumps properly.
- Very interesting is that i felt better with full runup jumps than dropsteps after a long time , probably because of lower BW.

REA SQUATS:
4x3@121
- Awesome , VMO still burning so instead of halfs@143 i did ATG@121. Very fast!!!

EXPLOSIVE MSEM HALF SQUATS ( rest between reps ~30secs ):
8x1@209
-Bad , VMO really burning , couldn't stabilize the transition well. Did my best at exploding up though.

EXPLOSIVE ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS:
4x5@175
-Awesome.

SINGLE LEG STANDING CALVE RAISES:
4x5@132


damn wtf? your VMO bitched out bad for this session hahah...

like how i see you feeling more bouncy at 193 etc.. that's going to continue to improve.

BW= 182.2
strength level= weak

warm up

pogo hops
3 x 8

on box jumps 24"
2 x 8

depth jumps 24" to 24"
3 x 6

jump squats #75
3 x 5

squats
3 x 185

3 x 3 x 235

bombed this workout. squats felt very heavy, I could only hit tripples with good form.
I think the basketball and the MSEM back to back wiped me out.


how long was basketball? got to eat real big the day before important strength training.. so if you didn't do that, in combination with basketball, ya, definitely will feel weak.

peace man!

Thursday 1/7/2011:

-Track Warmup

-Hurdle run throughs/starts
  -About 15 runs over just 2 hurdles

-Squats: 210x2x2, 215x2x2  :personal-record: (easy)
-DL: Worked up to 255x3
-Dips/pullups: 2x5

-Stretch + PWO shake.


Squats were fun. Especially since the PR felt easier than usual. Maybe I worked up to the weight too fast, but I think I just don't like the form I'm using. I kinda liked the sumo style I was using last week. Still not sure what I should do for weightlifting next week leading up to my meet. Just go lighter? Slightly different routine? Taper?

well, if you like how you are feeling a few days after those sessions, I would actually keep them in place.. you want to hit your last session 3-4 days from your meet day, days after that should be meet-prep stuff or active rest..

if you want to change it up a bit, i'd do squat, ghr, push, pull, calf in one workout, volume being 3 x 3-5 except for calf (3 x 10 etc) & ghr (3 x ALMOST failure, don't go complete failure), not going to complete failure (submax effort method, leave reps in the tank).. you basically just want to stimulate the entire body, every muscle group and some big movements, so squat, bench, pullups or db row.

so it all depends on your meet-prep work you're doing.. don't tire youself out on any lifts, but go heavy enough to really keep that strength stimulus in there and have those muscle groups potentiated for a few days after each session. if you got in two workouts next week that'd be good, but you want a nice full body workout 3-4 days prior to your event.

peace man!

yea man, the fever made the soreness magnified!

fever's all but gone now, just a bit of a nasty cough going on, but i still can hit the gym.
got a game later in the morning, after my graveyard shift. didnt want to go, but we're short of numbers... will try to play extra carefully later.

when are u gonna plan my workouts again bro?

well when you get healthy again i'll give you a template, this time we'll need to get in alot more work on the off-days of the gym, ie calf, glute, short sprint, etc.

i'm going to give you a template tho.. but right now just worry about getting back healthy.

bw = 159
soreness = none
aches/injuries = right lower leg a little during walk/light jogs
fatigue = high
diet = protein shake, chocolate covered almonds, philly cheese steak + fries, cookie, training, protein shake, protein shake + turkey and cheese + ramen


workout: walk + interval sprint
- 10+ mile walk in 2 hours 5 minutes, probably around 10-11 miles or so
- tons of light sprints mixed in, 50-150 strides
- that is the most reactive i've felt in a long time.. i had so much bounce it was crazy.. and i just felt so light

160 after that session.. so heavy

workout #2: calf raises
- still doing them, so far im on:
EDITED: calf raise: 35 lb total + BW @ 40, 45, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40

peace
