Track & Field / the T0ddday test
« on: September 03, 2013, 10:07:46 am »
Quote from: T0ddday
A workout I like to make athletes do on the track is repeat 150m sprints with a 25 meter walk between sprints and then 10 pushups before each 150 starts.  If you can knock out 5 150's in this manner in a total time of less than 5 minutes.  Your in REALLY good shape upper and lower body. [sic all]

who wants to try this with me? seems like a fun way to end a workout the next time i'm at a 400m oval. post times to this thread.

In the end, emerging from the great big ocean wearing a blue swimming cap and goggles -- and having swum roughly 110 miles in 52 hours and 54 minutes -- Diana Nyad still had enough strength to walk ashore Monday.

Failing four times over the years, on her fifth and final attempt this weekend, the 64-year-old Nyad officially became the first swimmer to go the distance from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: blah, terrible sleep last night and it's hot and humid as shit outside

- warm up

- avishek SL bounds x 3,3,3

- 1-2 jumps x 4,4,4,4,4

- various SL bounds x some

- two-step DLRVJ x some

- sprint ~40m x 1; 55m x 2
?, 7.59, 7.72

unbelievably slow, just awful. the jumps and bounds were bad, too. normal track was unavailable so i had to go to shitty banneker. plus it's a million degrees outside and i got like 3-4 total hours of sleep last night. bad workout, oh well. going to play tennis with my dad later.

for upper body endurance, try no-weight or very-light-DB overhead presses for SHITLOADS of reps. like do a set of 30, then rest 30s with your arms extended overhead, then do another set.

given my training pattern relative to my goals i'm the last person to be telling you this, but if you want to learn handstands or whatever you're better off doing it a little bit at a time, every day. your stamina will suck at the beginning anyway, so you might as well do a whole bunch of little chunks rather than having one day a week where you hate yourself because after 15 minutes you can't do it at all anymore.

somewhere between 6.5 and 7.5 per night. 6.5 is not enough but if i get 7 or more i'm golden. right now i'm having a rare insomniac night where it's 2 something in the morning and i'm not tired. that wouldn't be weird if i were out but i'm not; i just watched some tv with my gf and now she's sound asleep and i'm wide awake.

benadryl, do your thing. i'm waiting.

Just wondering, at a height of 5'10'' and a bodyweight of 210lbs, where are your bf levels at? Because if your bodyfat is >10% I think this is pretty much within the boundaries of lean body mass you maximally can accumulate (genetically) or am I mistaken here?

it's earlier ON THIS PAGE.

wide awake and sober at 2 AM so here i am. thanks for the responses y'all. the low box and long step are deliberate; this is more like a horizontal-hop-plus and i get about 1.5-2" of extra jump height out of the drop. i guess these aren't really depth jumps at all, now that i think about it. because i'm so bad at box jumps (or getting anything out of added speed or stimulus anyway, just look at my RVJ), my plan is to slowly add height. once i get above a certain height the step will be more proportionate and i'll start landing on my toes.

i don't see the R/L difference that entropy pointed out but spot-on about the GCT. that'll go down as the box height goes up. next time i'll go for 12" or something and see how i do.

i can x grip front squats for days. but i'm not going to stop doing my particular style of low-bar back squatting, and i'm not going to reopen myself to the debate about the relative merits of different bar positions for squatting.

Always feels good to get a good workout in after thinking about skipping it!

front squats i'm limited by wrist and shoulder mobility. overhead squats yes but not with a lot. i'll film some tonight, just for you.  :-*

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: peroneals, quads
ACHES/INJURIES: toes bugging me a bit
MENTAL STATE: okay

- warm up

- broad jump x 4
kinda bad, just under 12y

- DL bound x 4,4,4
also meh, second set probably best right at 12y

- avishek SL bound x 3

- sprint 30m x 2; 40y x 2
4.59, 4.60; 5.35, 5.38  :-[  worrisome because these didn't feel that slow, relatively speaking. either i'm measuring wrong still or i'm much slower than i thought. used the yard markers on the football field to estimate proper distance (30m = 32.8y)

- DSVJ and DLRVJ x a bunch
just bad, legs shot, could get no pop. i think the rim was higher today but still, bad.

- tempo @ 17-18s 100+100+100+100+100+100

- stretch

god this sucked. i hope it's still rust and residual out-of-shapeness from vacation.

EDIT: the brianmac calculator puts a 4.59 30m at 12.06 for 100m. all caveats for internet calculators apply, but that sounds about right, actually.
