Bad session. Raining,  sled weights taken from me so have an empty sled. They are not going to get a mention when I become famous. Runs felt healthy and that's about it.

Good workout session, tried to hurry up the session so I could fit everything in, but still ran out of time that I couldn't complete the workout and my quads became very sore because the squats plus when doing the back extensions my quads were playing an assistant role but could feel it happening and just relax the quads and just solely work the hamstring, which made it easier and comfortable.
Power cleans at 60kg is coming up high, just need to progress the bar a bit higher than shoulder so I can catch under it without having to squat.

Good session. Did some jumps after the half squats and I could feel the difference in air time, much longer. 60kg Power cleans almost can catch under it, I can bring it almost high enough, just need to push my elbows out and catch it. But good session, legs feel good after.

Soreness: lower body fatigued

Condition: Supposed to wake up at 9am and get to the track at around 10:30am. But woke up at 10:30am FML and got to the gym at 11:45am. Had 1hr 15min to do warm up and workout, which is not enough. Track was wet so my sprint starts didn't work as my back leg completely slipped and I didn't cover any distance.

The sprints I managed to do were good especially the 10m sprint unloaded felt good and learning about a slight forward lean to help get my legs better in position to sprint and get a good angle was a good find. But at 30m legs were slightly fatigued so wasn't as good as the 10m but still was good.

It was a good session, the power cleans have good effect on explosiveness and power even if I don't catch the bar from under, I want to minimize have to squat down just to catch it, I want to be able to bring the bar up to my shoulders. squats comfortable and ready to move on.

At this time gym is usually busy mostly the cables and benches so will have to make adjustments all the time but as long as the same muscle is targeted then it's ok. Power cleans are fun and good but 50kg it was tiring.

I heard Spence Jr / Porter was FOTY.

niice!

It was a great fight but spence showed he can fight any style. he was the more accurate aggressive fighter but it wasn't easy. shawn moved around, hit him and roughed him up and errol had the face to show for it, but errol spence was clean and throws concentrated hits while shawn he would go rough and try go wild at times and missed a lot but knew how to move out of danger and sometimes would get caught midway. but great fight notheless.

It was a good session the runs felt good with an extra days rest. The sled runs at 50m will prove beneficial for top speed with a low load. Wet track so the drive out the blocks (start line in my case) not good but the runs after were good. The plyometrics were good the broad jump were ok, did it on grass and grass was slippery, so the more my broad jumps involve falling forward the lower the distance as I slip backwards. But ok session. Also I did some practice power cleans again following the video by alan thrall teaches power clean to an average joe and was very good.

Tutorial video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PG2KtOz-0k

My video - looking better, need to fix the top part, which is not really important as I just need to get under it and that is success don't want to land it on my shoulder as I fear it may hurt my collar bone as my shoulders are small, but I can slowly after catching it roll it on to my shoulders on my finger tips, but hopefully after some time I can get used to it.

Good session. Squats were ok and also after every squat session if it's quarter squat I can jump high and feel good but at half depth legs fatigued a little high but not as bouncy. Power cleans need a lot of concentration i.e. upright, hips down, both come up and shrug and thrust the bar and jump and catch it from under. but the above video slight hip raising quicker and the bar is away from my legs as well. so a little tricky to get it right.

Will post my journal later as it's getting late and not much time on laptop except on weekends.

But made another attempt at power cleans, comfortable weight but I still can't seem to get it right, still looks wrong.

Input appreciated

It was an ok session, plan on doing it for 4 weeks until I get a schedule going at the gym near the work place and then go back to BSS for progression up to 40kg dumbbells, with weighted vests. Workout was straight forward, squats, calf raises and substitute to deadlifts the back extensions for a good posterior chain burn.

whaaat?? sick! :highfive:

congrats man. :goodjobbro:

Thanks.
Finally get some money coming it, try and clear my debt and buy some required equipment for my training.

Also the track that is near my job, I can join the athletics club as the benefit is the same as a normal gym membership but I also can get a coach as my previous coach has gone of reach, don't know what happened to him, can't get a hold of him. Don't know if coach will be good or not but will not use him primarily for my speed session but maybe for endurance, but their club starts late, so will see if the coach can fit to my schedule.

A good session, the rest on thursday seems to be enough for today's session to be really good and the runs felt fast and the hill has helped. I decided to do 23% for the 10m sled sprint and then reduced the load down to 15% for the 30m sprints, which feels better after. Plyos were good the broad jump is ok but the problem I have is that the first furthest jump I place a mark and when I try to beat it I can get close but I can't extend my leg in front to land further or i'm too scared too extend and land on my rear end. I'm probably not throwing the shot put probably as most of the measurement analysis tables I have seen are at 15m+. But a good session.
