As always! Gotta keep pushing. I'm trying to decide if the lost vert is because of the 'cut' I've been on to get back to the mid 170lb range. I've felt a little less energetic than usual lately. Then again it cpuld have been mental based as my body felt sore and I subconsciously compensated by not pushing as hard? Could be a combination.  I'm hoping to be in the mid 170s by early next week so I can reevaluate on fresh legs then.

Woke up this morning.....DOMS!!!!! Lol! Quads are pretty sore/tight. So to loosen them up I went and shot around for an hour and did some jumping. Wasnt the greatest but it got some blood flowing and thats good. Vert was down noticeably,  low 40s at best but I figured that would happen. Not a bad way to start my morning tho!

^ I think the key word in ALL of that is "unconsciously". Everything is done quicker/faster/better when its from reaction/instinct vs a thought out process. And you always look very thought out whrn you jump ;)

Fwiw whenever I feel like Im thinking too much I do something else for a minute then jump again, like a short brain reset.

Monday October 6 2014

BW: 178lbs.
Energy: not great.  Was happy to be back lifting after not last week but no energy. Chalking it up to lifting way earlier than usual. Also may be getting sick.  Stomach is cramping bad.

Dynamic warmup+bike+jumps

Squats: b=bands, p=paused
(Warmup)bar x5(bp), 135x5 (bp), 225x3 (b), 315x1 (b), 365x1 (b)...was not a great squat. Got it up but it was ugly.
(Worksets) 315x3(b), 315x4 (b), 315x4 (b), 225x7 (b). Stopped sets when I felt less explosive.  Not sure why it felt so heavy. Could be time off/movement deficiency,  tired, etc. Idk. If it happens again next week I'll make some changes.

Hypers:
45lbs: x10, x10, x10.

Paused calf raise on leg press:
550lbs: x12, x12, x12. Felt good on these. Very happy.

Stepups:
120lbs: 3x10 each leg

Jump squat: (banded in squat rack)
135lbs: x5, x5, x5. These felt good as well. Debating adding weight or trying to jump higher. :/ anyone know a decent ratio for jump squat:squat?

Sprinkled in some core work like normal and even tho im dissatisfied with some of my lifts overall it was a decent workout under the circumstances.

Did an hour of drills last night and some 1v1 with a buddy. Nice workout overall. Calves seem sore this morning though,  probably should stretch them a tad more than I do.  Going to rest today amd stretch some. Still working on getting a few lbs off. :/

Gahhhhhh.  Shitty start to my week. Had to skip Mondays lifting session because my daughter got sick and we spent all night in the ER. :'( Ended up being an upper respiratory infection so hoping she feels better soon! Did manage a 2 hour skill session last night but had to skip back/biceps work this morning when the lady got a call and we didn't have anyone to watch the mini monster. Oh well. Pressing forward.

New phone....new video. Dicked around for a little today but had to take some breaks as my knee is flaring up again. It feels like tendinitis but instead it being across my kneecap on the patellar tendon its slightly higher, like where the quad and tendon would meet? Hmmm. I'm going to be careful with it and ice it frequently so we'll see. Either way, I'm not getting up like I usually do (or at least I dont feel like it) so I worked on some timing stuff today instead of ME stuff.

Yea, from what I can tell the POs just take a lil more time to break in? Either way I'll find out soon, I just said screw it and got 2 pairs of POs and another of the original SF2s that were on clearance. Should put me through the end of the year. :)
