Just post yours for now. Still don't have a response from LBSS and LanceSTS. I'll send you those when I get the permission.

Nope. Just part of an assignment for English 1010. Answer if you like, but I already have any info I'd like.

Monday 11/01/2010:
First Monday workout in a while. I decided my lack of motivation sometimes can be helped from doing my first workout on the least motivating day of the week. So here it is.
-Warmup
-3x10m sprints
-Double leg bounds: 3x5
-MR Tuck jumps: 2x10
-MR Pogos: 2x5:
-Squat: 3x5 @ 200 lbs.
-GHR: 1x7, 1x6, 1x5
-BB Calf raise: 4x10 @ 155 lbs.
-Cooldown
-Stretch + PWO shake.
Cut back a little on the reactive work today, right shin started feeling not so good, but it was okay by the end of the workout. Keeping the weight on the squats but still going up for 4x2. Felt like my last rep on each set wasn't quite as deep as the rest so I'm gonna make sure I get the form next week. GHR felt pretty good. Last set felt like I was using my spinal erectors to help though, I didn't like that too much.

Same thing I showed you. Except the one I had was on trumpet. Still think it would be way harder on the trumpet, but it actually sounds a lot clearer and smoother on the violin. (it was written for violin, DUH)

« on: October 29, 2010, 03:02:16 pm »Oh, one more thing to note about my sprinting. I feel like the strength in each of my strides is better, and I'm getting my knees high like I should. But I need to work on turnover. I feel only slightly faster than last year and it seems purely from strength. If I can work more on actually moving my legs faster along with getting more distance in each step I think that will help me get much faster.
Not the same to say about long jump. The extra pop in my step is definitely going to make for some impressive jumps this coming year. I'm excited to see how well that goes.
Decided to split the upperbody into tomorrow. Squats yesterday were overkill after being sick so I'm going to go a bit lighter until next week.
stride frequency will come from getting those intense sprints in.. so you should see improvements just from that, no need to do anything special for it.
peace man
Sounds good.

Forgive me if I've asked this before, but have you gone over to Charlie Francis's forum yet? There are some track coaches on there with a ton of experience who are willing to help with technique, drills, etc., if you ask.
You hadn't mentioned it. Send me a link and I'll go check it out as soon as I can.

Thursday 10/28/2010:
Timed couple runs, I was hoping to time a 400m but I think my cold hurt my respiratory the most. Felt good on 100m and 200m as far as muscles are concerned but I got lightheaded and my chest felt a little heavier than I would like. Nothing too serious, just didn't feel like doing the 400m was the smartest thing to do right now.
-Warmup
-3x30m sprint accelerations
-Single leg bound progression: 3x5 each leg
-100m sprint: 12.79 hand time
-200m sprint: 26.41 hand time
Sprints were in sweats. That may be my last sprint "workout" outside until track starts up. Even today it felt a little cold in sweats.
-Cooldown
-Stretch
-PWO shake.

Wednesday 10/27/2010:
Finally got my disease taken care of (mostly). Still felt a little weak during warmup so I didn't push the squats.
-Warmup
-Sprint warmup- 3x15m sprints.
-Double Leg Bounds: 3x5
-MR Tuck Jumps: 4x10
-MR Pogos: 3x5
-Squat: 3x5 @ 195 lbs.
-GHR: 1x6, 1x7, 1x6
-BB Calf Raise: 4x10 @ 135 lbs.
-Cooldown Jog
-Stretch
-PWO Shake.
Shins felt a little painful at the end of the reactive work. Still not sure whether I was trying too hard or maybe because it's been almost a week since I've done them. Hoping I don't get shin splints since that should actually help them. Tomorrow may be my last really serious sprint workout before indoor track starts. Last couple days it snowed a little. Tomorrow's supposed to be the last sunny day of the week so I might as well take advantage of it.

« on: October 28, 2010, 12:44:04 am »Nota bene: Journal log changed to "a fast and explosive donkey!" Inspired by the introduction to the paper "Effects of Strength Training on Muscle Fiber Types and Size: consequences for athletes training for high-intensity sport," by JL Andersen and P Aagaard, which states, "Thus, both coaches and scientists know that it is not possible to turn a donkey into a racehorse by means of exercise and training. Hard work will, at the most, turn the donkey into a fast and explosive donkey!"
My friends, I may not be a racehorse. But I will be god damned if I can't turn myself into a fast and explosive donkey. HEE HAW!
Damn, that logic is brilliant.

Raptor , that's also a great idea for easy consumed nutritional extra
Thanks a lot, I'm a genius!
Motherfuckers, if you think it would be easy to beat me into smoothie-making condition, you've got another think coming. At best you will end up in a caloric deficit from the energy you expend trying to beat me. At worst I will eat you alive. No fucking around with smoothies, either, I'm talking scrap by scrap.
Paleo, motherfuckers! What! WHAT!
That's intensity beyond anything I've ever done in the gym. I imagine you spending more calories shouting that in my face than I spend in a whole workout.

That's why I chose it. But my teacher still said to me, "just know that I'm concerned." (because I don't actually meet anyone here face to face and the subculture is supposed to be one we're part of)
Either way I'll have fun with it.
I didn't get chills at all, I just felt out of it. Most of the day I wasn't really "all there." Anyway, I'm pissed today because it already started snowing here. (cursed northern Utah weather) Decided to wait on any serious lifting until tomorrow morning before school. In the past when I've been sick it's really affected my performance, even on days I've started feeling better. So I kept it light today.
Tuesday 10/26/2010:
Bodyweight rotation.
Squat x 10
Pushup x 10
Pikes x 10
Rest 2 min.
Repeat 3 times.
Nothing really noteworthy, just making sure I'm doing something, however small it may be, even on rest days.

I didn't notice it until second period. By the time I got a chance to go home, I was almost out anyway and I was already feeling better. The whole day was kinda strange.
Also, while I'm talking about school. I have to write an essay on subcultures for English 1010. I've been allowed to use this forum, so I may be sending some PM's out with questions of your opinions and such and I'll be reading through everything I can for the next few weeks. That is of course if you are willing. I'll make sure I ask permission before using any info from journals or posts before I use it.

Monday 10/25/2010:
Got sick sometime Friday night I think. Hit bottom today. All during school I had a pretty bad fever. Got home and started coughing. Felt weak in every sense of the word. Sickness drained my energy today. I'll be good tomorrow though. I'm already starting to feel better. Just need some good sleep tonight and I'll be good to go. Hoping to get 200 lbs. for 3x5 on squats.
