Harrison was good and was according to me was winning somehow neutralizing charlo and hitting some nice shots but wasn't very frequent with it and charlo is just a train.
Condition: It was a little sunny, cold and wet track. A lot of time was spent talking to this shot putter mid age who has broken a few records, swam the english channel and a lot of cool stuff, see him a lot every time I go to gym, great guy. Steve whyte if you search on youtube. Shared some of his experience with me. So got a few runs but not a lot.

Workout 2 x A walks @10m - red and green band 2 x A skips x 3 @10m - altnerate and hop 3 times = 1 rep - green band 2 x A runs @30m - green band 2 x alternating high knee drills x 2 each leg @30m / green band 2 x sprint starts to 1 step / green and red band high step runs w/ green bands x 3 no rest as it wasn't really intense
Time at this point: 12:08 - so a little behind in time
10m sprints x 2 - did first set, talked and then did second run when it was 12:30pm lol that was late and that was enough time for me to get rusty but running got rid of that.
10m sprints without bands x 1 - was ok and managed to record it, just wanted to see where my form was at.
30m sprints /w red bands x 2 - felt good and fast 30m sprints unbanded x 2 - felt ok some slipping and stuff.

Comment It was an ok session. especially being able to record myself.

Date: 19/12/2019 Soreness: upper right glute when bending down it's not like an injury pain but that pain when you stand for a long time and you have the strange back pain near the glutes. that pain but above glutes and below hip bone.
Condition: Raining and got to the gym at 5pm, but got distracted talking this guy who runs the 100m in 10.8 seconds. He was watching me deadlift and didn't like the part where I was already up but couldn't fully extend the hips as it was heavy so I was bending my knees to help pull it back up. Saying that you can get stronger in the deadlift but the transfer to speed is limited and gets even more limited the stronger you get and the heavier you lift. also talked about ethical topics. But I feel 150kg deadlifts is heavy enough and lifting heavier won't benefit my speed much but rather I should lighten the load and do explosive deadlifts where I explode the weight up and coming on to my toes and my hips extended. My squats failed again and my glutes sore, will switch to explosive variation after I can squat 3 reps of 150kg.

Comment It was an ok session besides the half squat failing on me again. Glutes gave up so my balance descending was not right, even when I did descend right it didn't feel strong as I would have liked. Will stop heavy dead lifting and moved to a more explosive oriented variation.
i think he's asking how quickly you lifted the weight, not how long you rested for. regardless, more than 2x bw for reps is good work. although from your description it sounds like form was a bit all over the place and, as adarq said, be careful with that.
Oh. It came up at an average speed, not easy and not difficult. probably around 6/10 in difficulty on first rep. My form wasn't that bad, it's just that I wanted my quads to do the lifting instead of my hamstring with the straight leg deadlift.
It was comfortably easy but on first set I did first rep bent knees more quad involvement but due to lack of concentration and just focusing lifting and putting down and lifting straight away so last 4 reps were straight leg deadlifts but second set more quad involvement, I had to lift it by pulling back a little before coming up.
But a PB nevertheless, last time i did it was a 1 rep with belt and strap, this time speed reps with no belt. last set last rep was a grinder at the top where it's difficult to drive hip forward so you end up bending the knees to help get the bar up lol
Date: 17/12/2019 Soreness: nothing that sticks out, maybe entire lower body but am used to it and is low
Condition: Got to the gym at 5:15pm. It was empty and only a few people came until the end track group came in. Finished at 7:25pm.

He has some insane standing vertical. What I noticed is that he doesn't explosively descend before exploding up.
I always thought if you want to jump higher than you have to descend down quick putting force into the ground and you will get the same force in the upward as newtons law states but he goes down slowly to quarter squat and then explodes up.
what's the best way to jump high for SVJ quick descent to half quarter squat or slow.
Date: 14/12/2019 Soreness: hamstring and glutes a little. not noticeable as I am writing this
Condition: As I left my house it was pouring and when I arrived it had stopped but track was left in a puddly state. Got to the gym at 10:50pm. Left at 1:00pm when it was they were closing up.

Comment Good session. slowly making my way towards a 100kg high hang snatch. Deadlift was a PB since it was a speed deadlift with less then 1 second rest between reps until the last one where i purposely do my best on the last one so takes a few seconds to get ready for lifting.
^Interesting thanks. also what do u guys do when the front squat bar rests on your collar bone shit hurts....
12/9
FS 275 x 1 = PINNED!

135 X 3, 5
BS '' similar routine but didnt keep track. Definitely didnt get pinned at 275 bs lol.
It shouldn't be resting on your collar bone, when you lift your elbows up, the front lats they stick out and majority of the bar should be on that taking most of the slack off the collar bone.
Date: 10/12/2019 Soreness: Glutes, obliques a little
Condition: It was raining quite a bit. Got to the gym at 5:15pm and finished at 7:25pm. Sidenote: My body is bulking without me wanting, lot of fat accumulating around the love handles area when I am doing the same thing I have been doing and am getting fat not in the belly area. hopefully landmines can help reduce the love handles.

Comment Good session despite failing the squats. So I will keep on doing 5 reps till I can do it comfortably easily that I will move on to 7 reps the following week. I am growing love handles, which doesn't look appealing and need to get rid of them. Other workouts were OK. I don't think the order of fast to slow changed any thing but will leave it as I get more energy for the snatch.
