Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!
« on: June 11, 2012, 11:55:39 am »
so instead of getting a good workout in today, i have been up since 4:30 with diarrhea, a headache and all over joint aching -- flu-like symptoms. But I'm sure it's just food poisoning. Felt well enough after work to get a little bit of exercise in but not much better than a warm up. Better than nothing.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = all over ache
FATIGUE = high

- jump rope + stretching + mobility

- jump squat 3 x 3 x 40kg (?)

- SS1: BSS 10 x 26kg
- SS1: DB OHP 10 x 13kg/e
- SS1: DB row 10 x 13kg/e
- SS1 info: 3 rounds, minimal rest

- stretch

for the record, in english, when referring to muscles, the words are "agonist" and "antagonist."

haven't worked out the last three days. on friday there was too much to do before leaving, then barely slept, was in transit (islamabad to kabul), then spent the day completely wiped out. slept well last night but was kept late at work because the driver had left and i had to wait for him to come back before i could get back to the hostel. now it's 8:15 and dinner ends in 15 minutes -- who the fuck ends dinner at 8:30? so it's work out or eat an as much as i want to do it i can't not eat dinner.

damn it.

What's a good mile time for a basketball player

a. as a best effort kind of thing
b. as something he should be able to do any time
c. something he should do often in his training as GPP
d. if a mile is too short to mean anything, then give an alternative distance and time

just looking for guidelines here, i'm going to google around too and post what I come across here for discussion, checking etc.


Between 4 and 10 minutes.
Seriously, not a question that can really be answered.  Basketball players don't need to run miles and milers don't have to play basketball.  Too many variables that go into running a mile for it to be considered a general test of fitness or part of GPP.


THAT IS CORRECT.

to put it another way, the answer to a.-c. is either "it depends" or "why do you care?"

the answer to d. is, "the length of a game of basketball."

I think it's taken for granted here and elsewhere that anaerobic activity is superior to aerobic, that aerobic work detracts from strength, speed, power etc.


orly?

had the worst/weirdest night's sleep last night. was super tired by early evening so fell asleep at 7:30. woke up at 8:30, no problem. but was still tired, so lay back down for a little bit. woke up at 1:20 AM. god damn it. took some benadryl, fell asleep again at 2:30, woke up at 9 with a headache from the benadryl. at least i slept through, today would have sucked to the utmost if i hadn't been able to go back to sleep. so 11 disjointed hours of partially drug-induced sleep. and a headache all day today as a reminder. ugh. also i had diarrhea from some fruit (i think) over the weekend and through monday and yesterday i had a freaking hemorrhoid. never had one of those before. it's a treat, let me tell you.

anyway, head hurt too much/was too foggy to do a real workout today. still made it up there, which i'm pleased about. better something than nothing.
 
BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = high

- jump rope/stretch/calisthenics x 30 mins

better something than nothing.

went to "trims fitness fort" today, in the jinnah sports complex, which has a 49,000-seat stadium and what seem like some (former?) national facilities for squash and gymnastics. there was a football (communist) going on in the stadium but only about 15 spectators, including my driver. local teams, i guess.

the gym itself was more ghetto than i was expecting given what i'd found online but whatever, it had a squat rack. not sure how heavy the bar was but best guess is 10kg. it was a bit awkward at first cause nobody spoke much english and the place was mixed-gender, which threw me for a complete loop. anyway, on with the show:

BW = ???
SORENESS = moderate glutes, chest
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up

- jump squat 2 x 3 x 50(?)kg

- squat 3 x 10 x 110(?)kg

- SS1: DB OHP 10 x 13.5kg/e
- SS1: pull up x 5
- SS1: decline situp x 10
- SS1 info: 3 rounds, minimal rest between exercises and rounds

^^^ doesn't really make the cut for me. a guy that size SHOULD be squatting 410. every video kingfish has ever posted is more beastly than that.
