nice man sounds fun, if you light yourself on fire though make sure a fire extinguisher is nearby and you record it in high def.



lol.

It was too nice out to go to the gym today. Just a perfect evening. So I ran instead. Easy pace, little more than 4 miles, bout half an hour. Now I'm going to hydrate, stretch and foam roll. And eat.

Just got my club tournament calendar for the rest of the year:

June 26: One-day round-robin with DC area teams (8 of 'em). Informal, kind of just to see where everyone is at.

July 31-August 1: Full tournament in eastern Maryland. Still pretty informal but some teams from around the mid-Atlantic.

August 28-29: Chesapeake Open. Serious tournament, teams from all over the country. Seattle, Bay Area, Boston, Texas, Chicago, Montana, Atlanta, etc. We will get annihilated by a lot of the teams here but it's a good test.

September ??-?? (probably 18-19): Capitol Sectionals. I will light myself on fire if we don't make it out of our section (top X number of teams advance from Sectionals to Regionals; X varies from year to year). In fact, we should finish second or third in this tournament at worst. Our section was LOADED at the top last year but two of the top teams (including last year's national champs*) aren't gonna be there this year so it's a bit more open.

October ??-?? (probably 9-10): Mid-Atlantic Regionals. Goal is to place well (top 5), or, if we get decimated by injuries like last year, say fuck it, drink a lot and heckle teams we don't like. We're not good enough to make Nationals but that's not the point of the team, so no big deal. And if we catch fire and somehow beat teams that are built to easily handle fun-oriented teams like mine, well, we'll need new shorts and plane tickets.

Basically, one tournament a month between now and October. That's pretty good, not as many as I was expecting which means more useful training time. Tournaments are draining and always require at least a couple of days of pure recovery.

*Highlights of my season last year were two sick plays I made in our quick defeat to these guys at Sectionals. I'm an okay player and make good plays from time to time. But it feels so much better to do it against the best competition, even if you're getting blown out in the game.

what the fuck? that could should have been tarred and feathered.
Nah, it was awesome. The president is a giant douche bag and it's not like he got hurt. A+ for the lucha libre guy.

Just got back from my brother's college graduation. He went to art school. Some craaaaazy kids up there. Instead of cap and gown, some guy my brother knows dressed up as a lucha libre wrestler. FUll on, serious costume, nothing half-assed about it. During the point when all the kids were getting their diplomas, instead of shaking the president's hand as he walked across the stage, this guy tackled him. Literally took the president down in front of hundreds of people.

Didn't really exercise much, ate some awesome food, drank a lot. Good weekend.

Slowly starting to pick things up. Soleuses (solei?) were a bit sore from yesterday.

warm up

work
low box ankle hops 2x10
two-step VJ x16, varying amounts of rest 10-60s
depth jump 2x5
jump squat 2x3x95
squat 5x265 -- sucked, will stick at this weight next time around to get form back in line. It wasn't even that heavy my form was just awful

cool down
stretch
foam roll

9743
It's a high school athletic field, so they only keep the lights on as long as someone or other has it booked (and pays for it). Tuesday nights (and Thursdays, I think) it's a local rugby club team that finishes practice around 8. Other nights there are adult-league soccer games and the lights are on longer.

EDIT: It's super convenient and really nice (turf), so I'm not in a hurry to find someplace else to do the tempos. If I'm ever out of work too late to run there, I can just do an easy fartlek or something.

9744
Hot as shit again today. Plus a long day at work. Still, energy was great and it took them cutting the lights at the field where I do tempo runs for me to stop. Coincidentally, the timing was awesome and they cut the lights just at the end of what I'd planned to do (like 20 seconds after I finished).

warm up
jog x.5mi
butt kickers, high knees, shuffles, carioca

work
2x5x100m @16-18s pace -- felt awesome, nice and easy

cool down

jog x.5mi
strech

9745
Took it niiiice and easy again today, then went to the pool :)

warm up
mobility
shoulder prehab

bench x5x155
BOR x8x135
JR 30/30 x6

stretch
foam roll

9746
Yesterday kept it really low volume. Still trying to get back in shape and considering that I've definitely made a couple of stupid pushing-the-weight-too-fast mistakes in the past, taking it slow now seems like a good idea.

Warm up

sprints x5x10m superset x2 with
DLRVJ x5
depth jump x10
squat x5x255
BSS x10x80
JR 30/30 x5mins

stretch
foam roll x10mins

9747
Word. So comparatively low-volume DLRVJs (three or four step approach), just to practice the movement, plus DJs and then REA squats and jump squats, alternating. See how it works for a couple of months and then adjust from there. Schedule will change once summer league ends, anyway.

Sunday would roughly be:

Warm up
mobility/calisthenics
sprints x 200-250 total yards
DLRVJ x 15-30 total reps (alternate with sprints; if they feel good, do more, if they feel sluggish, do fewer)
walk to gym
DJ ~2x10
REA squat ~4x3
squat (heavy) 5-6 total reps
BSS/step up (light) 20-25 total reps
jump rope x10-15 mins (start simple and add complexity as I get less shitty at it)
stretch

Monday would roughly be:

warm up
mobility
shoulder prehab
bench 3x5 OR press 3x5
rows 3x5-8 OR weighted pullups 3x5
jump rope x15-20 mins
stretch

If the Thursday game is at 7, the workout would roughly be:

warm up
sprints x100-200 total yards
DLRVJ x10-15 total reps
DJ 3x5
rest
game
stretch

If the Thursday game is at 8:30, I can usually make it to the gym beforehand, so the workout would roughly be:

warm up
DLRVJ x15-30 total reps
DJ 3x5
jump squat ~4x3
light stretch
rest/travel to game/eat something
game
stretch

Tuesday's still just the game. Wednesday and Friday are still full rest or really light cardio days (like a long walk or easy jog), with one being a real full rest. We may end up doing team runs on Wednesdays. Saturday is still just practice. Of course, life gets in the way but, given my tendency to jump all over the place, the most important thing is to try to be as consistent as possible and just stick with the plan. In case you couldn't tell I like making plans, I just have a hard time sticking to them sometimes. I wonder how it was just my brother and not me that got diagnosed with ADD when we were little  ;)

Also, just found out that all our games this summer will be on turf fields. High five!

Ask tkxii, he'll tell you all about the benefits of cooking food. Even spinach.

9749
It was hot and humid today. Like July or August. Blech.

jog 30mins @ easy pace, HR ~148-152
stretch

Hips felt super tight at the beginning, took a while to get loose.

adarq, I was looking at the plants thread again and noticed your comment about having the best plants when you were mixing in more plyo type work. What would you recommend throwing in in my case? For jumps I've really just been doing the low-box ankle hops and DLRVJ. Low depth jumps? DJ-to-box-jumps? Bounds of some kind?
