yesterday:
WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: upper quads, hamstrings, low back
ACHES/INJURIES: mid-back spazzing
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- sprint 10y x 5
- DLRVJ/DSVJ x 10-12
just unbelievably bad. back was freaking out and i couldn't even hit 30" on DLRVJ, so i decided to just stop and stretch.
- stretch x a fuckton
- knockout 1-on-1, first to 25
- a bunch more DLRVJ and SLRVJ
my buddy showed up as i was finishing up stretching and i felt like a failure for cutting the workout off, so we played knockout for a while. then i was feeling looser so he and i did a bunch of jumps. he's the opposite from me: can almost dunk off one leg (he's 6-1, 210 and pretty powerful, played high-D1 baseball) but can barely touch rim off two. my jumps still sucked but not quite as epically as before, and it wasn't enough to be really fatiguing. better luck tonight.
side note: oddly, i seem to be better off of my left leg on SLRVJ. my right leg has been stronger for as long as i can remember, but i can't get the timing right off of it, compared to left. i end up not taking powerful-enough strides at the end and my leg kind of farts out. with more practice i think i could hit 30 off of each.

you're probably right.

the word of the day is "float." i watched some of my jumping videos before i went to the gym today and the biggest difference from the good ones to the bad ones was the degree to which i look to myself like i'm floating across the court until the penultimate step. more float = more speed without forcing things. or something.
WEIGHT: ??? bit bloated from awesome thanksgiving
SORENESS: upper traps, abs
ACHES/INJURIES: none
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- 10y sprints x 5
pretty bad, left toe bugging
- DLRVJ x ~12-13
meh, 31-32
- SLRVJ x 3e
i think i PR'd on my right leg. after a really awful jump i told myself to get lower on the approach and that seemed to work. something like 28.
- ME DL bound 5 x 5
fourth set was really bad, otherwise okay, ~half court.
- ME MR half tuck 5 x 5
bad
- ME pogo 5 x 5
not as bad, focused on plantar flexion on takeoff
- OHP warm up
- DB row 30 x 18e
- stretch
30 minutes later
- touch football x 2 hours
fucking fantastic. so much fun.

« on: November 23, 2012, 10:00:48 am »try some other kind of cardio? jump rope? rower? light bodyweight circuits?
I tried skipping earlier this yr, hurts my knees & ankles. Don't have access to rower or bike (that would be ideal tho). I will try your circuit suggestion. It sounds crossfitty but it might just do the trick. Thanks.
YAAARRRRRR crossfit did not invent circuit training! they just fetishized it! circuits are fun.

question i've been meaning to ask for a while: what do you mean by "x0"? does that mean you've skipped that exercise?

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Innovative Exercises Ideas for Speed
« on: November 21, 2012, 11:30:58 pm »Here is one i thought of when i was sitting on those desk chairs with the wheels.
Chair Drags
Sit on the chair with the wheels and stuff, lean forward and try and run forward dragging the chair forward as well also add hand movements as well with the runs. this will generate power in the paw back process of the sprint lol.
Chair Drags for distance
This same as before but try aim to cover as much distance with one push of your legs.

WEIGHT: ??
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
FATIGUE: low
- warm up
- sprint 10y x 5
- DLRVJ x ~10
mostly ~32. better than before but still, god.
- MR half tuck 5 x 5
- pogo 3 x 5
- C1: squat MSEM 8 x 290
- C1: jump squat 2 x 3 x 80
- C1 info: like using 80 pounds. squats outstanding.
- OHP 115 x 8,8
- pull up +10 x 8,8
- ab fall outs x 10,10
- leg raise x 10
- calf raise x 20,20
bodyweight only, still got a decent pump. had a genius idea: add weight with the weight belt. then i can still use my hands to balance. limits me a bit but it's not like i'm doing 585 for sets of 40 anytime soon.
- stretch
good workout.
