2/02 rfd day

safety bar pause rfd half squat
295 2*8
265 2*8

safety bar alternating rfd step up hops:
115 *16, 14, 14

safety bar bss hops:
115*8 /ea side
95 2*8 /ea side

alternating cable rfd knee drives (from plank):
27.5's 3*14

anyone have thoughts about mixing different training goals in one session? for example max strength and volume in the same day or rfd and volume? the quote i remember from triphasic training is not to mix rfd with anything else because it sends your body mixed signals and you end up developing neither category

what do you mean by SL GHR? if you mean it literally you'd have to have the most diesel hamstrings in the history of the world. or

well the ghr mahine was adjusted so i had the padding about mid-thigh, maybe even closer to the hip. not at the knee like youre probably thinking. i guess you could even call them back extensions but thats not right because the motion comes from the hip, not the spine. or the right leg the challenge wasnt even the extension but the iso hold at the top. padding on the knee would indeed be insane and definitely something to experiment with cause i am dissatisfied with ham curls and cable hypers as my primary ham movements.

thanks leonel. lets get it  :strong:

45 mins throws: working on the lefties. forehands are pretty inconsistent (1/5 are good, 2/5 are catchchable, 2/5 are unacceptable). backhands are better, 9/10 are ok. lefty backhand range is maybe 55y, decently consistent

1.25 mile jog @ ~9:30 mile pace?
*15 intermittent 10-15Y sprints throughout jog

First time sprinting since wrist injury, mostly staying in acceleration. Stuffed my cast with cotton so it wouldn't move around and disturb the surgical pins. First few sprints actually felt very fast.

1/28

SB full squat:
235*5
305*5
325*3
345*3  :personal-record:
365 (380?)*3  :personal-record: (+30lbs, -2 reps)
-So to be clear I'm not sure if the safety bar actually weighs 70lbs, which is what all my previous logs assumed. I don't think it weighs 45. None of the gym people know shit. From now on I'm going to log as if it weighs 55lbs. Reps all felt strong, took about a 5sec rest between reps 2-3 to be extra safe but don't think I needed to.

SB good morning
125 *8
165 (180?) 3*8 (+10lbs PR)

Back ext (3s ecc, pause)
280 3*8 (+30lbs PR)

Decline situps
15lbs behind head *8,8,6

4.85miles/7.8km in 40 mins (8:15 mile pace)

Finally some nice weather prompted my first outdoor run in a while. The hills are the worst. Went a little too hard as usual, some pains flaring up a bit. Definitely will cut distance and intensity next run.

Posture still an issue. I was feeling it in the mid-back a good deal, but neck drooping is the bigger problem. Definitely going to hit these with a high-rep scheme , probably longer duration isos. Also need to re-up with my posture devices which I have been slacking with.

SPP conditioning superset - 110lb safety bar (no rest between exercises, 90s between supersets) * 4 sets:
-15s half squat iso
-rfd side lunges *6
-15s half squat iso
-rfd stepups *6
-10s half squat iso
-rfd bss *4 / ea side
-10s half squat iso

the point of this is to be able to maintain good athletic stance for a while. not sure its effective, weightless+ more dynamic+more time might be better. mid back got hit hard

back ext (2s ecc, 60s rest, prefatigued)
210 3*8

core ss *3:
-ss1a v-ups *10
-ss1b weighted reverse side to side ab wheel 35lb*12
-ss1c deadbugs (3s ecc) *12

core ss *3:
-crunches *30,20,20
- leg raises (bottom rom only) 3*15
- knee to opposite elbow 3*10 (i have trouble with these)

Got my new cast, which I have to wear for a month. It is more awkward than my old one, cannot hold the safety bar comfortably.

Mental state went from moping depressive to hyperactive manic in the matter of a few days.
-last 3-4 days have been 6/ hrs of sleep /day but weirdly have not been tired
-can't stop smiling for a significant portion of the day, just feel really good and confident
-high energy, motivation

Downside of low sleep is low back/glutes are not fully recovered from the last volume session. Lifts felt hard today, definitely could not have upped the weights. Need to up the protein and catch up on sleep.

SB full squat:
340*3
320*5,5
340*5,4

SB pause RFD half squat:
300 5*8

Good shit. The pause RFD half squat is where my athletic gains are gonna come from.

30 min treadmill jog @ 8:30mile/5:17km pace

Core circuit:
Elongated plank w/ 25lb 3*25s
Side to side reverse ab wheel: 20,16,12
Deadbugs (3s ecc):20,20,12

Immovable resistance ISO's:
Outside leg pushes 3*5 (2-4s contractions)
Inside leg pushes 3*3 (2-4s contractions)

Need to start doing outdoor jogs as weather improves, treadmill is dumb. Immovable Iso's are very high intensity, nerd to be careful with programminh

agreed, treadmill sucks.

also, overcoming iso's are rough. not sure if the risk/reward ratio pays off. every time i've done them, tendons just get hit way too hard. I imagine adductor overcoming isos would feel especially intense.

My old groin injury flared up the next day after those Isos. Its definitely something to be careful with but worth it in my opinion. Overcoming Isos can override your body's firing pattern and possibly replace it with a better one. I noticed even slight adjustments in the ISO position made a huge difference in how much force I could generate. Also being able to train sports specific movements at a high intensity that you couldn't get with sleds is a huge plus too. Lastly it's good to have some backup exercises to play with since right now what I can do with my wrist is really limited.

1/15

Back ext (3s ecc)

Knee to elbow *12, 7, 8 (failing badly)

Core circuit b:
Bosu ball side laying palloff press: 18lbs 3*8 ea side

 :pissed: yeah it's pretty gnarly

1/12

Ssb squat:
295*5
320*5
340*5
350*5!

Ssb pause half squat:
300 3*8  rfd
300 *20
So 300*20 normal speed feels almost the same rpe as 300*8 RFD. Definitely need to be doing more RFD lifts rather than chasing big weights.

Ssb good morning:
150*8
160 2*8

Ss1a:
Ham curl 205 3*8

Ss1b: q,Back ext
270 3*8
Apparently I've been doing these wrong there's a little belt you're supposed to use that I didn't notice

Wow it's been a week. Hand is in a cast with a staple in my wrist, can't grip anything and doctor hasn't cleared me to workout but I have no healthy hobby I can use for fulfillment with my hand broken so I went for it making sure to pay close attention to my wrist.

not feeling it in the back. need to tinker with form

terrible session. wanted to call it after paused SB  squat, just dying out of breath between good morning and leg press sets and went to the bathroom 3 times continuously splashed cold water on my face, tried to throw up but just ended up belching a lot. Even though it sucked I needed this, felt better after

life stresses really piled up, possibly in CNS burnout? I dunno feel like I could train alright. Been spending all my free time rewatching series and stuff like that. 18hr/week Class is brutal it's much harder to draw with the cast and today I lost 8 hours of work because of a computer issue. I have to make it all up. Just have to get through a few more weeks

Unfortunately I agree with this doc. I can't just walk around with a bone sticking out of my wrist. There's no way to know if I'll return to full function without getting it fixed.

Gonna have the surgery in a few hours. I'll probably be back to doing jogging and careful exercise within a few weeks. No training last 2 days, been having depressive episodes from a mix of life stresses. Hopefully I can still draw after surgery

12/25

Ss1a: Squat:
305*5 paused
355 *2,2,2,2 pretty easy

Ss1b DJs:
4*5

Hit my hand on a railing going up for dj and injured my wrist. It's pretty gnarly looking, bony lump right index finger around the base of the wrist. Waiting on an X-ray at the hospital

UUPDATE: it's fractured for sure and possibly dislocated. cant really use my right hand for anything. No DB's, probably no BB. I can't draw or write which is the big killer, I can't work and I don't know if I'll be able to continue with my digital art class that starts next week. I foresee a lot of leg press volume in the future, maybe zercher squats or some funky front rack shit. We will see.

 :pissed:

what did the annoying doc say?

No lol the doc wasn't annoying I was annoyed that I requested an appointment with a specialist and they stuck me with a regular doc.

I saw a specialist today and he recommended surgery. 3 month recovery with no lifting
