true but there was no space to put a camera. the field and benches were full of soccer players and the track was crowded. i had to wave people out of my lane a bunch of times so i could sprint.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: spinal erectors after broad jumps
MENTAL STATE: okay, not great but not sluggish
- warm up
- broad jump x 4
back to earth but still better than when i started doing these. about 12y/11m.
- DL bound x 4,4,4
same, back to earth but all still at or just past the broad jump mark.
- sprint 30m x 4
no times. avishek you gotta show me how you use your iphone to time sprints. i couldn't get it to stop right. not sure where my stopwatch is.
- fly 30m x 3
focused on good leg lift, consequently really felt the drive into the ground. these were fatiguing, especially the last one. high impact.
- SLRVJ and DLRVJ x a bunch
got some on film. pretty bad, especially the SLRVJ. had a couple of okay DLRVJ but i know these are just slow and uncoordinated. and the knee collapse on SLRVJ is fugly.
- stair sprint x a few
was going to keep doing these but the area around the hoop cleared out and jumping is more important.
- stretch

yesterday (7/27)
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: sharp as fuck, CNS firing
- warm up
- broad jump x 4
PR, got well over 11m
- DL bound x 4,4,4
first set clear PR, close to 12m. second and third sets not as far but still good
- sprint 30m x 1
no time but felt so quick, such a huge contrast to the last time i sprinted.
started pouring rain out of nowhere, had to stop, so very pissed. it rained for hours.
today (7/28)
WEIGHT: 173.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head
MENTAL STATE: super sharp in the morning, ready, but by the time i could get to the gym headache and lower CNS
- warm up
- submax SLRVJ and max DLRVJ x a bunch
DLRVJs were bad. i think the rim was a little high (seemed busted in the upward direction) but assuming it was 10' the jumps were all 30-31. if it was off by a bit they could have been a little higher.
- jump squat 45 x 3,3,3
- squat 275 x 3,3,3
head was killing at this point and this felt very heavy. will be lighter next time.
- superset x 2
-- OHP 120 x 5,5
-- pull up x 8,8
second set of OHP strongest i've ever felt with 120. weird.
- windmills x 10,10
will do mobility and stretching tonight. this was a very good workout despite the headache and relatively poor performance. not sure i could say why.

Article & Video Discussion / Re: 3 laws of breakaway sprint speed by Joel Smith
« on: July 26, 2013, 12:04:07 pm »A better exercise would be a overhead kettlebell throw. It will still encompass the triple extension but also do so in a vertical plane. But for safety I'd use a heavy medicine ball.
using a med ball you miss out on the level-7 potential of the exercise. IRON OR BUST, BRAH.

no. my mechanics change too much,* and the last time i transitioned to or from wearing shoes i hurt my hip. probably stupid but i'd rather be safe than sorry in this case. shoes coming to me today anyway.

both your knees cave, so why do you think the problem is in one ankle? also, knees caving as a result of ankle instability makes no sense as far as i can tell. it's much more likely to be a result of immobility and/or weakness in your hips and upper legs.
