nice you triple jumped too. congrats on squat. I'd say don't be as whimsical as me and try to plan it out. SO if you're doing max bounds now, make sure you drop them wisely if you want to drop them to pursue strength.

ALso when you say you did LLLL x10m, does that imply you did 4 lefts in those 10 m? SImilarly, when you say LRLRLRLR x4 30m, does that mean you did 8 total foot contacts? Important stuff to note imo to track for progress. I can't ait to go bounding next I stopped for like a week.

"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.

Yeah the way I do the single leg (LLLL) bounds is more for height, so I do about 8-9 bounces over the ten metres. The LLLL just denotes that it's just with left. Same with the LRLRLRLR, just a way of showing it's alternating rather than that I did 8 bounds per 30m (i.e. 3.75m per bound). I can see how it's confusing now  :huh:

I use the same nomenclature. Naming LLLL for "only left leg bounds" regardless if I did just two or ten steps. That's just because it's unusual (never used) a LLLL and then suddenly a R in the same bounding exercise. So if I do 4 L then it's all L.

Gym

Foam roll/squat warmup

Squat: 1x6@120kgs, 1x6@150kgs, 1x6@160kgs, 1x8@165kgs  :personal-record:

Barbell calf raise: 3x20@120kgs

UB stuff

I do not know where these squat numbers are coming from  :huh: I was pretty happy with the depth (I'm not going full ATG squat, but decently below parallel), speed wasn't amazing but I wasn't grinding them out 5 seconds at a time either.

You're getting hell strong at squatting. Probably 1 of the strongest squatters on this forum now.

Track

Warmup

4x50m sprints

(Turn your sound down before watching, the trimmer program I use stuffs up the sound for some reason)

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

Bounds: 1xLLLLx10m

Bad session today. I don't know why I started with single leg today, I really fucked the first one up as you can see below (turn sound down):

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xJpGc3YLi0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xJpGc3YLi0</a>

I just landed awkwardly on the first bound and knee started hurting (I should have stopped after the first bound). It wasn't anything bad, just felt sore like I'd bruised the kneecap, but it was enough to stop. I'm really cautious with my knees during bounds. I'm thinking maybe because I squat heavy the previous day, my legs are a bit weaker and don't handle the single leg very well. Thinking of maybe switching so I do bounds before weights.

You need to dorsiflex when you bound, which you currently don't. That's why you have knee issues (at least if you always bound like you did here). You kept the ankle extended here and landed in plantar flexion which loads the knee up like a bitch. You need to land with the foot more under you than in front of you and that will also allow you to dorsiflex better.

Yep, definitely. I had a really bad posture and landing on this one. Will try again next session to correct it.

Hm... I have a question: how strong are your calves? Can you do something like 3x20x100 kg of calf raises?

I think I could even do a lot more. I've also been alternating pointing toes in and out.

Then it's probably a matter of technique (as far as bounding is concerned)

Yep, I will put up a video of (hopefully) some bounds performed better a bit later for some more critique.
