« on: July 31, 2014, 09:22:23 am »Do you have a strategy when you run your 300s?
i vaguely try to start out relatively easy and then run harder at the end. not sure how well that works out in practice; i don't have split times or anything. so, in short, no. any ideas?

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder kind of a lot, head
MENTAL STATE: headache, tired
- warm up
added a-marches and a-skips, as well as side-to-side hops and high-knee carioca. best SL bound sets were 12y(R) and 11.5y(L)
- sprint 60m x 4; 300m x 1
right knee bugging on the first couple of 60s but it loosened up. played around with starting position, having feet farther back. i think it's better. also tried to run with better backside mechanics, snapping feet up and stepping over rather than letting my hips tilt forward and my feet drift back. my self-diagnosis, helped along by the vid and korfist article i posted in the sprinting section earlier, is that i'm a push runner to the hilt and that i'm super inefficient. form felt a bit forced but not slower. hopefully with a bit of practice i'll gain speed just from fixing that one problem. the 300m was 47.3; the first ~130m was into a brisk headwind. still sad that i'm not below 45 but i'll get there sooner or later.
- cool down walk
- stretch
pretty happy with this workout considering how stressful the past two days have been, and that i had a headache basically from lunch until i started warming up this evening.

2 rounds each minute
Cleans-100
wallballs-20lb
0-3:00 6 reps each
3:00-6:00- 8 reps each
6:00-9:00- 10 reps each
9:00-12:00- 12 reps each
12:00-15:00- 14 reps each
minutes 15:00-18:00 i was dead as shit, i think i was 7 reps short on the second round of cleans to finish
Hex Press- 60sx4x10
tricep work
machine work
unless i'm misreading it, this sounds basically impossible. no way can anyone do 28 reps of cleans and 28 of wall balls in a minute, let alone every minute for three minutes. or did you mean one round of cleans and one of wall balls per minute? even that sounds damn hard.

that double-elbow-hang is the holy grail of dunking IMO. it's so ludicrous.

the best laid schemes o'mice an' men
gang aft a-gley.
was at work until 9:30 last night, so no proper workout. did significant foam rollering of inner quads/adductors, glutes, and t-spine. my shoulder is, if anything, worse than it's been. very irritated and tight in certain positions.
this morning, i woke up to go jump -- very excited, as the gym is not open on wednesdays most of the year, but the calendar now says "open gym." the fucking thing was fucking covered in fucking children in fucking sleeping bags. how fucking hard is it to update a fucking website so that fucking paying fucking members like me don't fucking jog all the fucking way there at the crack of fucking dawn only to have to turn around and fucking run fucking home.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Intermittent Fasting
« on: July 29, 2014, 02:07:03 pm »You mean 12 hrs is too short?
no, by "window" i was referring to the eating window. i see why you were confused, though, given the way you phrased your post. 12 hours of not eating seems like too short a span to be considered "fasting." but take that with a grain of salt, it's a feels thing and not based in any kind of analysis or reading that i can recall.

vacation was awesome, had a blast in vermont with my brothers. super relaxing, great time. lots of driving and very little concentrated physical activity. we took a ~3-4 mile hike one day, played mini golf, went bowling, walked around a bunch. i did do some grip training with the COC on sunday. closed the level 1 gripper with my left hand a couple of times, which is good. can consistently do 2-3 reps with it in the right hand. the trainer is now easy with both hands.
got home too late last night to do anything, including grocery shop. tonight i'm resetting to the day 1 workout: bounds and jumps followed by 60m x 5 and 300m x 1, shooting for 45s. i'll see if the howard dude (eric) wants to join.
also, i need to do some jumps in the gym. i will go to bed early enough tonight to get up early tomorrow and jump before work, and do the same on thursday and/or friday. work this week is going to blow, though, so it's a "do my best" kind of week w/r/t workouts. tons of stuff due and tons of stuff came in while i was gone.
ETA: i'm itching to squat in a way that i haven't in months. also, my left shoulder is still fucked up despite the week of basically total rest.
