im a technician at hp.

there's a game tmr, so i'll replace the workout with the game i suppose...

- AD-warmup
- Light sprint warmup
- 10 yard sprints: 5
- 20 yard sprints: 4
- broad jumps: 3x5
- LIGHT STRETCH


10 sprints or so... haha i'll try not to overwork myself tmr! maybe i'll test my vert too if i get the chance, since its at the same indoor court where i had my only vid.

which reminds me... so much progress in the numbers, yet not much gains yet...

there's this pain in my right arch of my feet, like its being stretched or something.

actually it's been there since a year or 2 ago already, just that i see it as just more of a minor irritant than anything else haha. somedays i dont feel it, somedays it gets quite icky. also happens when i wear shoes like chucks or vans for awhile... what gives huh?

looks like i need to strengthen my ankles as well, those sprains from ages ago are coming back to haunt me, sometimes the ankle aches in a few spots.

and yea, the last week was kinda disappointing.
sure hope things get better from here on out!

the worse thing was, during sunday ball,
this one fren of mine, managed to brush the rim on one of his jumps.
and he's rather porky.. which makes me all the more pissed at myself haha.

damn, missed the last workout.

had half court 4 on 4 with my mates today. played for a few hours.
testing in between each game to 11.
again, only consistent getting around 2 inches above.

hopefully the poor results are due to the fact that i went for ball in the morning, straight after a 12 hour graveyard shift at work, with a few hours sleep before said workshift...  :'(

caffeine never had any of those effects for me... :(
beta alanine gave me some jitters the fews few times, but now i feel nothing once more...

sigh, resistance or adjustment to stims is the worst thing.
 :-\

Im already implementing sprints as you can see in my journal.
For the moment i prefer longer distance sprints@~50% because:
1) they cause much less fatigue/stress.
2) ME sprints burn more calories but you are constantly at 90%+ maximum heart rate , that burns pure glycogen and no fat at all.
Of course i love ME sprints , they are an awesome training tool for many many different reasons/targets.
But specific for fat loss , i think higher volume - longer distance - lower intensity ( like 50-60% ) sprints are way better :D

hahaha im outta my depth here, talking abt energy systems and all that... but if it works for u im happy! and envious too haha, that u already had ur first dunk :p
but even tho they dun burn fat, total calories out matter too right? but, yea, ur doing higher vol also, so maybe thats a factor as well.

oh ya, and it wasnt like i was out there doing 10, 15 sprints...

just like 4~6 ME efforts, over a relatively short distance, tho the last 2 sets surely cant be described by onlookers as sprinting lol!

hmm... wonder if they'll work for me...
i'll stick to adarq's plans for abit!

dude, fwiw, i find sprints to be a very good fat loss tool.
i used to do sprints as part of my conditioning, and a nice side effect was that i always noticed abit of fat loss...
