Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: A Journey to Running Fast and Jumping High
« on: August 26, 2013, 02:01:04 pm »Two things:
1) Definitely don't run tomorrow if your hip flexor is really hurting and it's not just DOMS. DOMS you can run through OK (in fact it helps clear the DOMS out). I remember in the past you've had issue with DOMS but if it's hurting when you're just lying on your side then that's probably not good.
2) Your lower body numbers are just not adding up. For instance:
Single leg hyperextension at 90 degrees: 2 x 40kg dumbell x 10 each leg
Leg ham curl machine 145kg x 3 about 15-20 degrees from perpendicular to floor
Leg extension for the quads 135kg (didn't have any more heavier) x 3 10 degree away from locked knees
calf raises leg press 2 x 135kg x 15 trying to be explosive kills all the time after
So you're doing single leg back extensions with 80kgs (!), 15 reps with >2xBW for calf raise (!!), reps with 2.5xBW with leg extension and leg ham curl (!!!), and yet...
Deep Squats warm up to 40kg, 55kg x 2 sets x 3(i got pinned), 5
I'm not trying to call you out or anything, but are you sure that they're all in kgs and you're doing them full ROM? Just seems way too high for those lifts if you're only at ~1xBW 1RM squat.
1)When i Read this i Decided not to run at the meet.
2) I will explain.
The Single leg hyperextension 40kg dumbell is actually 40kg dumbell it is done at a position where i am resting my hips on the pad and my lower body straight and my upper body hanging downwards perpendicular to the floor upside down like __
|
then i hold dumbell near my chest and using my legs i raise my upperbody until it is inline with my lower body about. -----
i can do this for 10 reps each leg.
The following:
Leg ham curl machine 145kg x 3 about 15-20 degrees from perpendicular to floor
Leg extension for the quads 135kg (didn't have any more heavier) x 3 10 degree away from locked knees
was me testing if i could do it, and it was not full rom as there was like 10 degrees from the end position for the ham curl machine for the leg extension machine, i'm quite sore it was to full range of motion and same as before it was a test to see if i could do it. both of these were definitely 145 kg and 134kg for the ham and leg curl respectively it was definitely not lbs.
also what is wierd was that at the leg press, at quarter position 195kg was not struggle one bit.
the leg press calf raises was at 135kg plus 7.5kg tension of the string, it was definitely as the weights are in kgs and not in lbs.
i'm not doing single leg back extension, i'm doing single leg hyperextension 40kg i hold only one dumbell, similar to this, but the leg support on this one is a bit lower.the one i use is a bit higher so the hip pad is a bit lower.
but instead with one leg and holding dumbell close to my chest and
go up until my body is straight with my legs.
i don't take it as a you calling me out but asking questions to help me.
So yeah, i don't know why the numbers are all over the place.
My hip is not painful anymore when raising knee up but its painful when rotating my knee inward or outward the higher the knee and rotate knee the more painful it is but i can bring my knee to my chest, that's why the pain when squatting empty bar because my knees has to push out and it is verrryyyy painful i can't squat with a bar on my my shoulders.
