uh, level-7'd again.. nothing major but just scared the shit out of me.. so im at the basketball court, doing some jumps, and my 'predator' soundtrack song comes on.. then out of nowhere i hear this HUGE noise and then i see some huge thing falling out of the sky, turned out to be a like ~10 foot palm tree thing falling off a palm tree.. dno, just crazy timing considering the predator song haha.. looked like predator falling out of a tree @ 2am.
level-7.
Lol, that feeling is awesome though. Especially when it happens without you being in any real danger.
soreness = left soleus (horrible, from the midfoot runs), both hamstrings a little
When you're running like a mile mid-foot, does it end up being like a strength endurance sort of burn in the calfs? Sorta like the burn in the legs when doing ultra-rep lunges?
nah it's a different feeling.. like a weird 'pull'.. and if i only do 1 mile or so, when fresh, i don't feel it at all really, btu the next day my left soleus is DEAD.. so today it was more like a pull on each plant of that leg, felt painful.. but i've delt with it before so i know it's pretty much alright, tomorrow is nothing intense so it should be alot better for friday, hopefully.
Also, I've been doing some 'strength' SLVJ's. Like standing at the free-throw line and doing only my penultimate step into a maximal SLJ, trying to touch rim (scraping it on most attempts). Sounds similar to what you've done in this workout. Eddie's jumps look like he has more bend in the knee than Holm for example, and I wanna get a similar sort of single leg pop. Hope it works out for us!
Keep it up.
ya, those do help, eddie does alot of those on warmups.. short run ups working on just getting high off a few steps.. then once he starts feeling good he'll move it up.. similar to how i do it for my DLRVJ warmups etc.. he just does it naturally, so do i.. kind of a 'buildup mentality'..
he used to do short run up sessions all the time at MSC, when he didn't feel like going max or when it wasn't a priority in the programming.
ya man he lands more like donald thomas, check the crazy weird analysis subforum, high jumpers, holm vs thomas.. good example there.. eddie tried stiffer plants (less knee bend) but it never worked too good for him.. his best jumps have always come with considerable knee bend.. that's some serious strength HEH.. but more of a basketball player style of jump.. most bball guys that don't have a track and field background will do SLRVJ's like that from what i've seen.
peace man
