Pics, Videos, & Links / Re: Bobsled training and 60m times
« on: November 14, 2013, 01:42:13 pm »
Some more data to make this more interesting.
NFL 2012 draft, best 100 40m times:
http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft/combine/_/year/2012
Times go from 4:33 (
) to 4:63 but it doesn't include reaction time so it would be ~4:50 to ~4:80 if we add an 'average' 0:15 reaction time.
The world record 100m split times:
http://speedendurance.com/2013/04/09/fastest-10-meter-splits/
Carl Lewis 1988 9:92 splits : 40m = 4:78 , 60m = 6:47
Usain Bolt 2009 9:58 splits : 40m = 4:64 , 60m = 6:29
In the bobsled combine, average 45m time is above 5 seconds ( best is 4:85 ) while 60m average is above 6:50 seconds ( best is 6:26 as noted alteady ) and they are with no reaction time AND a hop-start, which combined would add about 0:50 seconds as analyzed by Avishek above.
EDIT :
Duh, i was concluding that NFL are damn fast and easy faster than the bosled but it is 40 YARDS for the NFL so only ~36,5 meters.
So the average 45m for bobsled with reaction time and all is in the 5:50 area while the average 35m average for NFL is in the 4:75 area. The 100m guys do the 30-40 splits in something around 0:9 seconds so what do we have ? A FUCKING TIE!!!
I'm outta here...

5/3/1 beginner template
Wave 1 :: Week 3 :: Day 3
BENCH ( 5/3/1 ):
5@52,5kg
3@60kg
7@65kg
-Season best. Approaching all time PR ( 8@67,5kg ), very happy with bench progress this year.
HIGH BAR FULL SQUAT ( Light day ):
5@50kg
5@60kg
5@70kg
-Light day is light, playing around with technique adjustments.
HORIZONTAL LEG PRESS MACHINE:
12@350lbs ( +50 lbs )
12@375lbs ( +25 lbs )
12@400lbs
-Hard but nice.
CHINUPS:
11@BW ( +1 rep ) , ties all time
7@BW ( -1 rep )
7@BW
-Third consecutive 3-set-reps tie too ( 25 ).
Again tried hard for an extra rep in all sets for a new PR but failed half-way up all 3 times.
LANCE CALVE RAISES ( DL concentric, slow SL eccentric ):
8@25kg ( +5 kg )
8@25kg ( +5 kg )
8@25kg ( +5 kg )
-Very nice.
ABS COASTER MACHINE:
15@BW+7,5kg front ( +5 kg )
15@BW+7,5kg front ( +5 kg )
15@BW+7,5kg front ( +5 kg )
-Hard, will redo at this load next time.
So the 1st wave of 5/3/1 is over, went great! I am supposed to deload next week but i won't. I am feeling fresh and i was coming off a deload week too. I have 6 more weeks before Xmas, so instead of doing a deload and 1 more wave, i will try to do 2 more waves on the row ( no deload weeks ). That will also be a planned overreaching before Xmas holidays that will be like 10 days off. If the next 3 weeks ( 2nd wave ) beats me up, i will maybe reconsider what to do with the remaining 3 weeks after it. 1st wave summary and 2nd wave plan coming soon.

I guess that toddday has a case for people that get their best depth jumps out of low boxes. When box height is around the same with the bouncing height, it is more or less the same thing. I mean if you can get 20''-25'' on your consecutive jumps and the box you use for depth jumps is ~18'', then there shouldn't be much difference. But if your best depth jumps come from boxes in the 30'' area ( ) , then it would be rather hard to match those with consecutive jumps. Unless you can also get 30'' on consecutive jumps too. Even then, the whole absorb-the-landing-fast-and-jump sequence gets harder when droping from higher, so the focus raptor mentions above becomes more important. That is illustrated by the typical volume recommendations too. When using low boxes, volumes are high like in the consecutive jumps. When the box heights go up, the ground contacts are limited.
If this paragraph overdosed you with broscience, read this to get even: http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/shockmethods.html

ROMANIAN DEADLIFT ( 5/3/1 ):
5@70kg
3@80kg

-Awesome!
The 100kg i used as 1RM for the calculations was clearly an underestimation so today instead of 67,5-77,5-85 i decided to do 70-80-90.
Judging from the results ( 9 reps on the 1+ day ) it was a correct decision.
STANDING OVERHEAD PRESS ( 5/3/1 ):
5@32,5kg
3@37,5kg
7@42,5kg ,
-Awesome too!
Best set ever was 8@42,5 but that included half-push-pressing a few reps. Today's top set was 100% strict so i declare it an all time OHP.

10@42,5kg ( +1 rep )

10@42,5 ties last week's all time for 1 set.
