Good luck with it
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
next to every post now, on the left, i have two icons.. little black mask things.. click them.
the first one is a weight converter.... for quickly converting lb. to kg. or vice versa.. you can scroll the screen while the popup is pinned to the right.
the 1RM is there as a place holder.. ill get that one done shortly..
is this broken for anyone? works for me on a bunch of browsers.. one person on live chat told me it was giving them some weird 'session verification error'.. but for me/others it's working.
why black masks?because i was trying to format the buttons all nice, but they just looked dumb.. so i got fed up and decided to use little icon pictures...
the left side of each post will eventually havea bunch of tools, and ill put them inside of the 'post form' somewhere, for when we reply/quot/post actual messages..
peace
Definitely liking this feature. When i hovered over the lb to kg the help label appears said coming soon, i thought it was done, so i clicked on it and when the color started to change, oh no ... i was expecting the screen to change red, animated devil head popping up and saying some weird crazy shit.
lol, always had to google lbs to kg conversion.
hah
so, i take it, it worked ? :F
ya i'll probably do the 1RM calculator tomorrow.. that is going to be a nice tool.. I like how it overlays and still allows us to scroll up/down, just in case we need to convert more numbers.. the 1RM calculator will be the same.
peace man!
thanks for the feedback

It does make sense i guess.
So here is the plan you outlined.
monday: tempo work
tuesay: rest/recovery
wednesday: speed work + weight training (hi intensity low body + moderate upper body)
thursday: speed endurance
friday: tempo work + weight training ( lower intensity )
saturday: rest/recovery
sunday: speed work + weight training ( moderate intensity )
Ok now i need your help in changing this to something suited to my area i.e. how to do tempo work you said 3x3x150m i can't measure the street could you do the distance running in terms of time and intensity sprint % instead of m, which is for monday and friday.
what type of weight training do i do for wednesday for low and upper body.
how about:
low = squat, lunges, RDL, calf raises
upper = tricep extensions, bent over rows, bench press, weighted oblique twists.
as for lower intensity you are referring to low weights and moderate weights and high weights.
is the aim also to try and get my squat up or just to develop my ham, quads, glutes, hips.
when i do the bounding i get extreme pains on my shin. my squat is weak.
when do i do what you mentioned hill runs
what type of exercise do i do for speed endurance in my area also in terms of time not distance.
so help organizing my workout routine and what type of workout i should do for them, etc.
thanks
Why can't you measure the street? When you go to the track walk 100m and count your steps. Go to a park or street and walk about twice that. That should be roughly 200m. That's your distance for your interval.
Find a hill that takes about 10 seconds to run to the top. Run to the top 10 times and walk down.
You should always try and get your squat up.
You have no need to do tricep extensions except to waste time. A good upper body workout for you is 50 pullups, 50 dips. When you can do it in 2 sets then you can add weight.
For your lower body there are lots of people that can give you better advice than me regarding weight training. The only thing to remember is do not let weight training negatively affect sprinting. Sprinting comes first. Honestly most college level 100m sprinters blow off weight training to some degree. For me it was often just too much in addition to grueling track workouts and school. We still get a lot faster.
Keep it simple. Whats your maximum high-bar full olympic squat? If it's 100 kilos, than do about 25 reps twice a day with about 75 kilos. When you can do that easily (ie sets of 6-8 reps) test your max and repeat with about 75% of it. Throw in some RDLs, perhaps 3x10x135. That's all you need.
Here is the change to the workout template
monday: rest
tuesay: upper body
wednesday: speed workout (just do their training) + lower body (high intensity + low volume)
thursday: rest
friday: lower body (low intensity + high volume)
saturay:upper body
sunday: speed workout (just do their training)
@toddday: i can do that after my hypertrophy workout, as i just need to gain some muscle mass not a lot, so i can have some muscle fibres to use an then after i can do what you suggested.
i want to utilize the gym before while i leave uni, which is till next september.
thanks for the advice.
You will make your own decisions but I am going to tell you for the last time that whoever told you that you should focus on hypertrophy at the expense of sprinting did not give you sound or even accurate advice. Hypertrophy does not create new muscles fibers which you can then use for sprinting. More muscle fibers would be great but unfortunately you are stuck with the amount you have and focusing on sarcoplasmic hypertrophy will only lead to you spinning your wheels with regards to actually running fast. Good luck.

Haven't been here in a long time, just moved into uni accomodation, so stressfull, cooking, waking up early.
How's everything adarq, workouts looking good.
i had this weird understanding that quads were not a good muscle to develop as it might overshadow might hams, so i concentrated on improving my hams and glutes.
well, it's hard to overdevelop the quads if you're lunging & doing direct glute/ham work
having really beast quads ties in directly to vertical jump and short acceleration with sprints.QuoteI think this was a mistake as quads are also important in sprinting.
yupQuoteknow any good quad activation and warm drills i could use.
best quad activation stuff I know if is just the simple unloaded TKE's... either ISO or for rep-minis..
just sit down, in a leg-extension type of position, and extend both legs.. focus on really 'squeezing that vmo'.. you can hold this for time or do little controlled reps etc.. just turn on those quads manually, works really well..
other than that, you'd have to turn on the quads dynamically with stuff like double or single leg pogos etc.. stiff leg.
as for some direct quad work (other than squat/lunges), I like leg-extension tke's for high reps (with weight on the stack), sissy squats (body weight), and utilizing HIGH REP squat/lunge schemes...
20 rep squats and long distance lunges just smash the quads.
thanks
