Jumping was good, getting 2+" over rim with both hands. Consistency pr.
Depth jumps 3x5 with stiff legged ankle hops x5 in between sets.
-depth jumps were really good, was getting 9'9-9'10. They were 1-2" higher than my svj. Svj has not gone up at all so far, pretty much always get 1" above rim = 9'9, maybe if I practice it more it will go up.
ya man definitely practice it more..

OK OK OK
my dreaming lately has been insane, and this one takes the cake.. especially since i resumed it every time after i woke up/fell back to sleep.
i dreamt i was in some post apocolyptic world.. i was running for my life throughout all of these blown up buildings, trying to avoid these crazy cyborg looking cops.. i killed a few cops and stole their laser guns.. save 20 kids on top of a roof and gave them laser guns.. one building collapsed as i was jumping onto another roof.. i was jumping from roof to roof trying to stay unseen by these psychos.. this guy who was like 15 ft tall pushed down a building as he was getting laser'd to death.
prior to alot of that all I had was this long kitchen knife so i used that on some individuals to get some weapons.. towards the end everything was exploding as i was on this roof top, watching it, just chillin.. then it faded out.
WTF
insane.. i didnt even go over 5% of the dream either.. felt like i was there for a day.

bw = 157
soreness = nowhere really.. surprised, thought hams would be sore
aches: right ham tendon (lateral), left ham tendon (medial) <-- a lil bit on both
injuries: left lower back bugging
great workout tonight...
workout:
- walk ~3 miles with 10-20 yard sprints thrown in.. about 20 total sprints, only one was about 40 yard, felt real fast.. trying to really work on my acceleration hardcore. did this BEFORE jumping this time.. i like it too, think i might do it this way alot, really get fired up by the time i jump.
- RVJ's in flats: felt great, full run ups, pretty much every jump 31"
- mixed in RL DLRVJ's, were low.. same for L and R SLRVJ
- MR tuck jumps: 5 x 10 <- felt great
- DL bounds: 4 x 10 (from one hoop all the way to the other, so i guess some alright distance)
- MR tuck jump: 1 x 30 <- very fast GCT
- stiff leg ankle hops: 3 x 10 <- felt better than last time
- 1.5 mile jog home: dead but was alright
done....... neck/back buggin. neck is from arm swing on all the hops hehe.
peace

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: DEAN KARNAZES 50 marathons in 50 days - training, pictures, & articles
« on: July 08, 2010, 01:06:22 am »
3. FLIRT WITH DISASTER
In 1995, Karnazes ran his first Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile trek that starts in Death Valley, California, in the middle of summer and finishes at the Mt. Whitney Portals, 8,360 feet above sea level. After running 72 miles in 120-degree heat, Karnazes collapsed on the side of the road suffering from hallucinations, diarrhea, and nausea. He had pushed himself to the point of death to find out whether he was strong enough to survive. He was. Though he didn't finish the race that year, Karnazes came back the next and placed 10th. He won it on his fifth attempt, in 2004. "Somewhere along the line, we seem to have confused comfort with happiness," he says.
6. SHOW YOUR BODY WHO'S BOSS
"The human body has limitations," Karnazes says. "The human spirit is boundless." Your mind, in other words, is your most important muscle. As a running buddy told him: "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!"

LBSS: "Racing sled dogs have enormous aerobic capacity. While the untrained sled dogs have an average aerobic capacity of 175 ml/kg/min VO2 max (ratio of volume of oxygen to body weight per minute), the aerobic capacity of the fully conditioned sled dogs is estimated to be about twice that (300 ml/kg/min)."

« on: July 07, 2010, 07:22:16 pm »hell man, i was beginning to think that i just wasnt destined to at least dunk once haha... just glad that something good happened at least once... need to work on my runup/planting!
ya man the power is there.. you're really strong right now so..
Quote
lifting up to 4x a week in a strength block...
i dun think i could handle that, i meaning squatting a few times a week!
you misread, I wrote 2-3x per week for strength block
.. plus some of those can be upper body sessions etc.Quote
i was asking that cos i dun see u prescribing me those jumping type exercises like lateral jumps and the like...
if thats the case... the current season should be winding up in 2 weeks, afterwhich is a month's break, before the next season.
we'll be doing this peaking thing for a week or 2, after which we're gonna start with blocks of GPP and strength/explosiveness work?
well ya, it would be good to start GPP during that month's break.. that would really allow you to make some good gains in work capacity and setup a better strength/peaking block the next time we do it..
we could modify it a bit so that you're still trying to PR on jumps during the GPP block..
Quote
can each block be shortened to say abt 3 weeks or so? i'll confirm how many times a week i can workout!
well, that would lead to a less than optimal cycle.. why 3 week blocks? I personally think we should go:
- GPP : 8 weeks
- STRENGTH : 4 weeks
- PEAK: 4-6 weeks
If you can't do gpp when season starts, then we could definitely do it like:
- GPP : 4 weeks
- STRENGTH: 4 weeks
- PEAK : 4 weeks
we'd have to really work hard as hell during the GPP though, alot of volume.. but it's not as bad as you think, you get used to it
peace man

« on: July 07, 2010, 03:51:27 pm »Last night I dreamed that I was hanging out with my little brother at the beach, and I said that line from "Supa Dupa Fly" where she goes, "Beep beep, who got the keys to the jeep? Vrrrrrooooom" and my brother pretty much lost his mind from laughing so hard. Not sure why he thought it was so funny, although that IS a great line.
Seems to be a lot of laughter in my dreams recently.
nice.. i can't really recall laughing in a dream to be honest, which is weird.

« on: July 07, 2010, 03:50:20 pm »Just cause I want to have access to it later, here's a tight thread on Charlie Francis' forum about training for soccer: http://www.charliefrancis.com/community/showthread.php?t=15334&page=7. Link is to page 7 cause it was about then that I realized that I'm gonna want to go back to this.
If anyone happens to read it, I corresponded briefly with duxx a few months back. He passed along an updated version of the paper he wrote on his soccer training philosophy. He seemed happy to share them freely, so I can pass them if anyone wants.
i'd love to check out his soccer paper, though i've never fully read that thread.. i've read bits and pieces.
andrew.darqui@gmail.com if you feel like passing it along!
