bw = 162 lb.
- lots of fluids
soreness = right hamstring very slightly
aches/injuries = left sole (plantar fasciae) of foot barely

PF in left foot was good enough to run, but after track workout, definitely feeling it.

track work:
- spikes: MD800v3
- max hr: 188 bpm
- trained with someone I know. held back to the pace he wanted to go. workout was still really tough though, especially with the heat.
- hard 200m at the end .. not max but still hard & happy about it. watch said 31s, garmin says 32.1s.

- head index 100 F

went to do jumps after but calves were just too wrecked..

went to whole foods & guzzled down 1 x beet juice & 2 x grapefruit juices .. grape fruit juice was heaven.

man I love running on a track.

photos from the guy I trained with:

FAU's main campus is pretty nice.

calves wrecked!!!

negative drop on spikes hit them hard.

had a good session in teh spikes, I like em`. Didn't notice much for the most part, BUT, when turning it up & finishing with a strong kick etc, I definitely noticed them.. plus running through puddles was nice too, didn't worry one bit.

middle distance spikes = success

I like those pogo jumps, I can get high with them too. But since it's a plyometric exercise, it does pain my shins because I don't have the strength requirements, which I heard was that you had to squat 1.5 x bw to be able to qualify to do plyometrics safely.

just do them submax most of the time & occasionally do them near-max/hard to test it out, you'll be fine. don't need 1.5xBW squat strength, that's some BS

But it's really fun to do these as well, maybe it's the kenyan blood in me.

important statement ^^

if they are fun to do and they feel good, do them.. probably.

but like you said you feel it in your shins, just don't go as hard.. you should be able to dial down the intensity and do them IF you wanted to.

Not to take it offtopic but im fascinated by the Masaii jump. Any thoughts on adding it into one's training?

basically stiff leg pogo hops, one of the most highly recommended reactive exercises on this forum

pogos are incredible.. even more so than double leg bounds, MR tucks etc. They train "elastic qualities" obviously but i've always felt like they just improve triple extension better than any other exercise .. so if you want that "flick of the wrist" of a jump shot effect for your ankles, pogos are your exercise.

you basically try to keep your legs "locked" upon landing and flick yourself back up .. you can actually do this submaximally to start & it still provides a great training effect. It's easier to keep your legs locked when going submaximal. As you get higher, you'll have a little bit of bend upon landing which is fine. These Maasai jumpers allow more knee bend. If you notice they hardly have any arm swing either.

during my peak RVJ I felt like I could get near 30" or so off the ground on these, maybe even more .. here's a video of me doing them, but not at that level:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3ITzUbZzMk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3ITzUbZzMk</a>

here's two more videos of the same Maasai jumper:

Yeah I'd like to find a 67 fastback and get the Eleanor kit for it.

ya nice. i love muscle cars. As for new cars, i'd only really want to get a Tesla (non-gas guzzling)... but, old muscle cars to me are an exception.

30 min walk 3.5mph 4 incline
20 min amrap
5 snatch@95
10 push ups
15 wallballs
15 minutes bike

I gotta watch my diet, feels like my appetite is up due to the weights.

I bought a sandbag thing with a bunch of handles on it and comes with a 10/15/20 pound sand kettlebell bag set.

just don't leave it outside.. i made my own sandbags for lifting, way back in like 2005 or so.. left em` outside. eventually i'm lifting it, and i start feeling stings, red ants all over me .. they created a nest inside the bag somehow, and it was full of ants. nightmare.

bw = 157
- whoa

soreness = bottom of left foot a bit, right hamstring slightly
aches = bottom of left foot - certain positions can cause it to feel painful rather than sore - plantar fasciae strained slightly. I've had this before several times in my left foot so, seems like something is jacked up there & once it heals/adapts it's usually fine for a long time.

left foot is way better today than yesterday, but didn't want to risk making it worse, so AELS - didn't go to the track.

I might go to the track tomorrow morning, but if it's still bugging i'll just take another rest day ... idgaf.

walk with dogs:
- 3.5 miles

did some feet stretches at night .. made my foot worse, then better.

ideal plan:
- thursday: 400's/200's with spikes, jumps
- saturday: MARATHON JUMP SESSION INDOOR GYM!?!? just tons of L/R-SLRVJ's in my favorite indoor gym
- sunday: running jump rope, 400's, jumps

that'll probably fall apart like usual.

peace!

I'm ending tomorrow's workout with push ups and squats to Flower by Moby

Green Sally up, green Sally down (I think it's green) you move up and down with the song.

solid lmfao. It's "Bring Sally up, bring Sally down .. "

https://www.justsomelyrics.com/423338/moby-bring-sally-up,-bring-sally-down-lyrics.html

incredible how many people think it's "green sally up", according to a google search. that's funny as fuck.

fwiw, gone in 60 seconds was great.

Yeah that's what I thought but that's what the lyrics say when I play it on my amazon player. Idt anyone will ever know the truth lol

Yeah that movie is the reason why I like mustangs
