You'd better win state this year. Just sayin.


If you do I'll buy you a steak dinner. However you have do the same for me if I win state. I think its a fair trade. Oh yeah, and that's one dinner per event.

You're on. :ninja:

Thursday 3/10/2011:

-Warmup
-Squats: 135x5, 160x5, 170x5, 170x5
-Hang Cleans: 90x3x3. (technique practice, i've never done hang cleans as a real workout)
-Pushups: 3x15

-Hurdle technique
  -5 lead leg attacks each leg. (lead in against a fence)
  -5 trail leg drills each leg. (holding onto fence)
  -Over overs: 4x16 hurdles each leg. (hips were feeling it by now)
  -Badup-badups: 4x8 hurdles (using each leg as lead twice)
 
-300m/100's over Double hurdles
  -Just what it says. extra hurdle placed between marked hurdles for alternating leg practice
  -Done on curve of 300m hurdles
  -2x90% run
  -2x100% sprint.

-Hurdle stretches.


Still gotta figure out exactly what I'll be doing between the jumps/hurdles. Working with two coaches. Sessions will probably get longer and more technical in the following weeks, especially now that the track's cleared off.

Figured out exactly what's in the shakes I've been making. Here's a small breakdown"
  -900+ calories
  -55g protein
  -17g fat
  -? Carbohydrates
  -Pure deliciousness. (strawberries and a banana in whey protein and milk... how could you go wrong?


Also looked at some calorie suggestion thingies online. All of them say I need over 4000 calories, some say almost 5000kcal/day. Nice to know I still need to eat A LOT more. Intake yesterday sucked but I've been at about 3500-4000.... at least I think. Ha ha.

Andreas Thorkildson is such a beast at the jav. He's not even very big. He has some impressive strength.

Couldn't update on the first practice. It was fairly similar to today, so just assume the same things. Yeah, I know the jolts you're talking about. I get them once in a while too. Not very fun, but they've never felt really bad.

Anyway. Here's today's stuff.

Monday 3/7/2011:

-Warmup
  -4 laps movement around bball court.
  -All americans
  -Flutter kicks for time
  -Pikes: 2x25

-Running mechanics
  -Skipping A's and B's
  -Running A's.
  -Drilled these hard into the new people. Spent an hour focusing on form alone.

-Gassers x 3
  -3x40m down and back. (80m ea...)
  -In groups of three. Rest until it's your turn again. (~1 min)
  -Rest 7 min.

-Core
  -Walking pushups. (something like 30 pushups across dumbbells)
  -15 knee tucks on pullup bars.
  -20 Russian twists each side w/25 lb plate
  -Repeat first three
  -Russian twists/hold/relax rotation led by me for 3 min
  -10 pikes

-PWO Shake



Got a new blender. Shakes are turning out better. Took my lunchbox to school today. I think there were only 3 classes I didn't eat anything in. Two of them were right before track. Felt awesome. Coach left early so I got take over torturing the new people for the last set of gassers and all through core. Might have to time 100m, 200m and 400m tomorrow. I hope I'm supah fast. :D

Got a physical today. Fun stuff. (especially since I didn't get touched at all. lol. Seems like every year is less.)

Anyway. Apparently it's entirely possible (though not necessarily likely) for me to just kinda drop dead. Doctor said everything was good but he was a little concerned about my heart murmur. Explained that it isn't weaker hearts that have problems with that, but hearts that are too strong. Mine is just that. Said my heartbeat was really strong and sounded almost forceful. Asked about supplements. Basically I should never take creatine or any other pre-workout supplement or anything like that. Too many stimulants could cause serious problems. Cleared for small amounts of caffeine like in a cup of green tea, or even coffee once in a while, but no 5-hour energy or anything similar. SIMULANTS=BAD.

He wanted me to take some tests but cleared me because of the expenses. Says he didn't want to hold me from track over $600 medical tests that turn out benign 90% of the time. But if I ever have any problems I'm supposed to go see him asap.

Most interesting is that it's not usually a fatigue thing. He said if ever after a third or half a race I started feeling dizzy to the point where I was going to pass out, but I felt like I wasn't tired.... I should go get tested. Says he'd hate to know something happened during training or a meet, so it's better to be safe.


For now I'm good as long as I don't feel bad, and I hope I stay that way the rest of my life. Genuine concerns though... :\


First track practice is tomorrow. I'm excited. Going to go nom more now.

Danke. Actually got a final day of training with my coach after our so called "track meeting." It was really just a chaotic mess of kids going into the head coach's room and getting all the papers they needed ready by Friday.

Wednesday 3/2/2011:

Speed work:

-Progressive warmup

-Hallway Sprints
  -~35m sprint, walk 10m-ish, 35m sprint back to start
  -Repeat
  -Rest 6 min.
  -Repeat sprint/rest cycle 3x

-Rest 10 min.

-Core
  -3-position pikes: 1 min.
  -Butt scoots: 25 ft. (I feel so silly every time I do these)
  -L-hang scissors: 30 sec
  -Repeat 3x


Wasn't really a planned workout. It was pretty spontaneous. Coach had to go to work so he made it super quick. core was on my own. The base workout with warmup only took about 25 min.

I hate you all. I still can't get into the forums. I think they're racist...

WTF, try again. Makes no sense.



I'm gonna try using other emails or something.

Thanks brosephines.

@Divad: soreness is no reason at all to change depth, IMO.

Andrew disagrees with me on this, but I think you should squat to the fullest extent allowed by your structure and mobility. If you're really tall or have shitty hip mobility, you shouldn't be going deep. But if you're normal sized then increasing ROM can only help over time.

:-*

Please make that an official smiley for the forum....

Played ultimate frisbee in a foot of snow with the indoor track team. Awesome

Tuesday 3/1/2011:

Concert band.
High school jazz.
USU all-northern jazz band.
Wait, workouts for my chops (lips, tongue, mouth basically...) don't count, right?

Never mind.....



Track meeting tomorrow. Need to get a physical... crap. First real practice is on Friday. Probably won't get a chance to do much until then.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. I also exercised my GIMP skills today.
